My New Year's resolution!

I hope I find another job, but if it happens that I am terminated or laid off, I really don't care any more! I just know that for my own sanity, I need to make a change. I was wondering how many other slaves to MMoral are wishing for freedom this year too. ...

I mean this post in all ernest, I am genuinely interested in hearing about those things that you might do differently next year to make things better than this year. I'll go first. 1. I plan to stay more focused on my work instead of checking in here, so much. I plan to accomplish this by removing my MTStars icon from my toolbar, thus removing my temptation to click on it and navigate here so many times during the day. I sat down the other day and analyzed how ...

There was interval resolution of a "right hepatic globasis" noted with residual punctate air. No evidence of a new "hepatic asis" noted. ...

If no noun following such as female or male should this be hyphenated, i.e. if stated "A 10 year old has stomachache".... should it be "A 10-year-old has stomachache" ..... ...

I am checking out my community college catalogue and getting excited at so many interesting courses. I'm not looking for a long, drawn out process or degree, just some subjects that will be fun, creative and could also translate into making me more marketable. As an MT, I lean more toward writing, computer, and maybe even something medical, as opposed to something like car mechanics or accounting. Any ideas? ...

Doctor says: "He is a 40 ish year old white male in no acute distress." What is the right way to transcribe the 40 ish part? I've seen a lot of different ways. I was thinking "40-ish-year-old" but not completely sure. TIA for any help! ...

Hello fellow MQ MT's, Does anyone know if we get paid time and a half for New Year's Day? I've looked up and down on MQ Central but can't find holiday pay listed anywhere. Thanks! ...

DOES anyone actually double their lines ? if not, shouldnt our pay go back up since their justification for halving our pay did not pan out? Ha! ...

I spent the morning reflecting and trying to figure out what to do and where this profession/company is heading. In doing web searches found that MModal is opening up yet another center in Mysore, India and hoping to employee 500 employees. I guess I am trying to figure out if it is indeed cheaper to employee Indians than US based employees after all the perks the Indians get like healthcare for the whole family including parents until they are 80, gym, free transportation, the cost ...

I had always thought pack year meant the number of years someone has been smoking. ...

My daughter will be driving and I can leave transcription/editing ! I just hope there is enough work to last that year. I love working at home. I've worked with some mean office women before who are backstabbing and downright evil, but at least I had security in my paycheck and paying my bills. This job has been great as far as being home with my daughter when she gets out of school and being home when she is sick, but now she is older and when she starts drivi ...

Besides issues with a company that seems to have workflow problems and therefore tells the independent contractors to not work on their scheduled days because the work is low or on another day is sending e-mails that there is extra work and everyone needs to hustle , there is now a notice that there will be an adjustment in line rates. Of note, this company does not pay the highest line rates to start with. They want a schedule and we're expected to be available AND must produce a min ...

Is today a Nuance holiday? ...

I'm only staying this year for the insurance. I'm pretty sure they won't be able to offer it so cheap next year. Then I'll be free to do whatever I want. ...

Does anyone know personally of any MT who makes $50,000 a year or more? A college recruiter called me at home one night and asked what I did for a living and when I told her I did not make that kind of money she said "I was told most MTs make around $50,000 a year. Only in my dreams. LOL. ...

this is on a little boy, 2-year-old, with vertigo, otolaryngology note. He has fluid on the ear so they have scheduled surgery. After surgery, if his symptoms do persist, we may want to obtain an MRI and s/l "dem or even them" _____ test in the future. thanks for any help! ...

Just now got notification (New Years Eve) that there will be a new service area South right after the first of the year (figures, right?) I know this happened to the North region about a month ago. We will have a new DQS log-in and have to move our expansions over. Can anyone from the North let me know what this means? Will we still be doing our regular book of business? Is it time to look for another job? ...

I'm exceedingly confused. What I understood by reading the sites, kindly posted by our moderator and others, we will be contacted. By whom? Is MQ a participant because they are in one of the states listed? (Ohio). If my state (Arizona) is not one of the states listed does that mean I'm not eligible for the benefits? Not trying to be obtuse--I definitely need SOMEthing to happen, since I'm making less than half of what I was before QA was eliminated ...

Doc states in PE: Temp 97.9, s/l annex pulse 115 and regular. pt is a 1 year old female. ...

if there is some sort of yearly review? Last quality check I had was back in the fall. Will be writing to my STM, but just wanted to get a feel for the process--if there is one--and couldn't find anything about it. TIA. ...

I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year! Hopefully 2011 will be better to me than 2010 was. I got laid off from WMX in 2010. :( Still looking for QA work and it's tough with two little girls but I'm getting by with unemployment and child support. I hope everyone has a GREAT New Year!!!!!!!!!!! :))) ...

Ive never not given a notice, but I interviewed today and might get the job. You all know the deal, I just can't afford to work here and they want to fill the position Im trying for immediately. Do you think after only 6 months, I have to give them a notice? If so, how much of one? It feels so wrong to just up and quit, but I can't pay my bills! Another 2 weeks, or even one just puts me further in the whole. I made more on unemployment! ...

Medquist is very close to signing up for yet another year of Benchmark. So very few people use it and the corporate people are trying to find out why. Seriously. I wonder if they will listen this year when we tell them that we don't want it, don't use it and it is a colossal waste of money. I already let my CCM know why I will never sign up for AHDI, I mean Benchmark. Some of us old timers have a bad taste in our mouth over the lawsuit settlement and ...

How would you write this? Doctor says "She states that she is currently in a relationship with a 50 some odd year old gentleman." ...

How would it be written? "...see patient in the new year." OR "...see patient in the New Year." TIA ...

That's right! If you are working FT as an MT and are NOT making at least $70,000 per year, you are either: * Lazy/Not ambiious or determined enough. Your skill set is low and you haven't beefed it up with extra classes, etc. because you are INDOLENT. * Stupid/Sloppy: Your quality sucks, your work is rife with errors, you are not a "perfectionist." * You are a loser with low self-esteem, otherwise you would be commanding and getting 0.12 per line for your ...
