Doesn't a period go at the end of a sentence?

Over and over on these boards I read angry and disgruntled posts from MTs about how they feel it is only due to greed on the part of their MTSO, or due to some conspiracy carefully crafted by AHDI, that requires one space after a period at the end of a sentence. One period after the end of a sentence is not strictly an MT standard. Everywhere in media, print journalism, and academia one space between sentences has become the norm. This, ...

I have an ESL dictating discharge medications with the hiccups! He just keeps right on dictating and I'm supposed to know what was said during the hiccup. VR is having a great time with this! ...

Rapid Outsourcing Imaging hired me to work the weekend graveyard shift. Their transcription platform does not refresh itself, and there is very little work. What work does come in has an almost immediate TAT, so you are expected to sit in front of your pc for a 10-hour graveyard shift constantly refreshing your screen to check for work. When work does come in and show up on your screen, it is already 7 minutes into the 20-minute TAT. I was making about $2 per hour. ...

Sentance reads: " The patient denies any parenthesis or weakness in the right lower extremity. " It just doesn't look right and when I look it up online I only get examples and definitions of the puncutation parenthesis or parentheses... Thanks for all your help :) ...

I have TWO JOBS right now and BOTH are completely out of work. It's been this way since mid-Sept or so. Every week I think, I'll get up EARLIER and pop out even more lines than ever.............but to no avail. NO WORK. I'm an IC with one and an employee with the other (a HUGE company). This after I had two other jobs two years ago that completely flaked out too where the work load dwindled to nothing, so I looked around and took these other two (I tr ...

So, that "First Time Right/QA on Demand just started. Wouldn't you know that as SOON as it started, I have been getting nothing but out-of-BOB accounts. At this rate, I won't be able to stay under 10%, much less than up to 25% or more. Up until now, was getting my primary or at least BOB accounts, I calculated carefully and figured out that while staying in my BOB, I could come under 5% most of the time. I am really thinking they want everyone consta ...

The evil Q doesn't have to fire or lay anyone off, they can just starve us to death with no work. ...

Only using an employer as an example - my personal example - but my idea is applicable to all the others I have read about on this site Not long ago, I posted a rant about Siance not paying me. I turned them in to the Labor Board. They were given a deadline to pay me, but it could take that Dept up to 6 months or longer to get my money. I thought...HMMM...I HAVE BILLS TODAY - NOT IN 6 MONTHS MAN! So...I filed unemployment against Saince. They did a pho ...

Not paid for four months' of work. ...

I've heard how great Transcend is so I applied, in addition to 8-10 other companies. I had heard such great things and such rave reviews from Transcend employees they were a company I wanted to hear back from most. Two weeks later still not a word, and I had already tested for most of the other companies and had been given offers. Because I was most interested in Transcend, I decided to write the recruiter using the email address I found on the website. Even after a ...

Let's sum it up briefly. MTtoCoding doesn't like us one bit. She also doesn't like being here. It causes her distress, just like her university and the instructor from her university did. We are all losers. Continued. We are bad, the MT board is bad also, her university is bad, the teacher is really, really bad, credentialed teachers stink, work experience is a bad idea for teachers to have, etc. She just dropped in to tell us about a great new coding course. When she didn&rs ...

This is a two-sided message. It is painfully obvious that no one is learning anything from having failed audits. This being said, I think there are a few sides to this. First, the error weights are harsh for a lot of small errors. Second, the error weighs are not harsh enough for other errors. Third, and most importantly, no one seems to be taking the time to learn anything from the audits/feedback in order to improve themselves and their work, which leads me to what I would do if ...

When you type an ESL, and you know he/she says the same thing all the time, but you cannot figure it out for the life of you. Leave a blank and send it on, when you know that blank could have been filled? I'm not passing it on to QA. How many times I have been audited with the same doctors I have submitted to QA is laughable. Fool me once.... etc., etc., etc. ...

Just finished a report on a new account..Doc racing through. Cannot understand what she said, so go into docqumanage for similar reports. Obviously people are just cutting and pasting because the name that you have in there for that camera (5 reports) does not exist in medical terminology..But when you slow down and listen to it a few times, what she says is one of the standard lap camera sizes..Dang and I failed an audit for leaving off a letter and adding a word... ...

Maybe I am not looking in the right spot on MQ Central, but has anyone seen any contests going on?? ...

Just wondering because I was over at the other MT site and saw a help wanted ad for TTS and thought maybe TTS was mad at MT Stars owners because they let MTs post not so good things about TTS. MQ doesn't advertise here either but they are looking for help too. What's up with that? I support the companies who advertise on MT Stars, my favorite MT web site. ...

Did you see their latest job ad? They seem to want perfection, but I bet they don't give perfection. ...

In the objective the doctor says: "tender over the radial aspect of the wrist, especially with the flexor tendon at the flexor carpi radialis along the simbrevis". I can't find anything on "simbrevis, sinbrevis, sem or sen". Anyone heard of this? Thx for the help ...

Looks like Nuance is out looking for legal troubles. CEO, Paul Ricci tried to buy some friends with $5 mil apiece. But it ended in a lawsuit. Guess some people are seeing something besides dollar signs. <shakes head> See link http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2011/09/07/lawsuit-nuance-tried-to-bribe-rival.html ...

So, I have been looking around seeing what else is out there. First of all, don't you wish you could put a giant WARNING sign across the web sites for on line MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTION courses??? Wow, what a joke! They are still calling it a great career! They are still saying you will be in demand and make 30,000 plus a year! I saw some sites from a few years ago where newbies were trying to find jobs and getting discouraged. People were telling them not to worry, they will be fine, etc. ...

just wondering if I'm the only one. Even though I dearly love being an MT. Reasons being ... Feel like I don't even know how to have a face-to-face conversation with people anymore. SO bad for one's health, sitting all day. Feel trapped in my house. Stressed because I have to maintain my equipment -- I don't understand computer functions, so need others' help when fix-ups need to be made (kids, husband). Kind of like that one subject ev ...

This company will never learn. They like punishing their employees day in and day out as if to make you atone for some wrongdoing. Like a typo. If that isn't bad enough, the work does not flow. Sadly, for employees, they will never recognize your greatness. They just don't deserve you. ...

If you look at the pay grid, N actually pays LESS for having a high QC% than for having a low QA score. How does that make any sense? They would rather having us submitting reports to the client with possible errors than sending things to QC. It's all about the production! ...

or am I just brain dead about now..tia. She was therefore fixed with an external fixator rather than internal fixation for the *fusion. The *fusion went on to heal and she has done reasonably well. ...

I'm trying to get an answer from my CCM regarding foreign doctor's dictation and this 5% QA submission. I type for two separate teaching hospitals and are constantly getting new foreign doctors, 3/4s of which cannot even speak English. I won't matter if I got copies of every single report they dictate, there would be no way not to send these reports to QA....are we getting any kind of special consideration towards our QA submissions for these doctors? My CCM I don't think has ...

I have a Dell Insprion 1525 and HP Laserjet 1020. The HP is not listed in the Dell's list of printers to connect to. I can't find the disk that came with the printer or the instruction booklet. Does anyone know of a way I can get the printer to work with the laptop through some other means? I don't know much about all this stuff so any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! ...
