Doing an ortho note, the MD states "currently with left upper extremity X FIX" I was going to assume he meant external fixator, but I don't know if perhaps is this a brand of fixator? I can't find any legit info on it so far, so I'll probably mark it for QA, but wanted to know for my own knowledge if it was a brand of fixator or if he's just using slang. He usually says "external fixator" or "external fixation" all out and that's why I was questioning it this time. Tha ...

I, like most of you, am not happy with this mandatory shift change that has messed up my life. I am job hunting. I find very few things, if any, that I am qualified for with my experience with MT work.

Retraining is not an option at this point unless it is on the job training. ...

I have come on this site for awhile, mostly because this is a place where everyone gets what you do and can understand what you're going crazy over. Try telling your neighbor the ESLs are getting to you today and you get what I mean. However, since I have become an MME (in October), this has become a not so friendly place. I love doing QA work. I have been in this field for 20 years and feel I can and do help MTs out. When I make a correction, it's to give the MT some feedback, ...

Before you send in an essay with your name on it. Think long about it. There are a couple of issues: 1. Taxes. Think about how much you will have left after the taxes are taken out. It won't be 1000 dollars. 2. There are those of you on here talking about a union. If any of you are serious about a union -- DO NOT sing praises about ANY MQ POLICIES. It will come back to haunt you. 3. Remember exactly what is going on in MQ r ...

While on Facebook last night, I mentioned about going back to school to be a vet tech. and one of the things I mentioned was that it was work that would NOT be oursourced to India. Some guy from India sent me a message asking what was wrong with sending work to India. So I told him how it has decimated the careers of American MTs, how American MTs often can't even earn a living wage because they are competing with the low wages paid to Indian MTs. I could have said more to him, but I left i ...

I took a test for a large national, well-known, jumped through all the hoops - applied, tested, waited for test results, waited some more for phone interview, only to find out that this particular position could not start working until 11 a.m. This is the sort of information that should be supplied on a website. This was a deal-breaker for me and had I known this ahead of time, I never would have wasted my time (OR THEIRS) by going through the whole process. There should be a form f ...

I had a formal QA evaluation by my QC and scored 99.5%, so feel I dodged a bullet. This is my first official QA since the 99% change.

They have a new major at the local college called Medical Interpretation (Spanish to English). A whole new wonderful world of opportunity!! ...
