I like your "short-straw syndrome" though. I thought maybe it was a form of delusion where you always feel like the unlucky one, always drawing the short straw.

The Final Straw, The Only Reason I Have Stayed So Long Apr 02, 2010I just received a letter from Medquist saying they will no longer be offering Kaiser Insurance which I have had for years.

5% Submission Straw That Broke The Camel's Back. Jun 01, 2010Things have continued to decline over the past 3 years I worked for MQ. After the 5% submission rule went into effect, I decided I needed a new career, so at the age of 46, back to school for me. I think this might be an important step for many MQ'ers since obviously the rate of pay will continue to decrease and the work demand increase. The fact they do not appreciate our ability to produce top-rated work and are happy with mediocre says a lot for a company tha ...
The Straw That Broke The Camel's Back-insurance Open Enrollment Dec 08, 2013Well - I am finally moving! Started applying to non-MT jobs this week. Have known it, have been saying it, but just could not bring myself to do it.

I now am paying $430 a month for my spouse and I to get contracted insurance rates - because that (and the wellness benefits) are ALL that it covers (not even pharmacy) until we pay $7500 together, then it covers a WHOPPING 75% till we pay $12,500 for our max out of pocket.& ...

Short Reports May 03, 2012What are considered "short reports" according to line counts? It seems to me I have been typing a lot of them lately. Today, I have edited around 20 reports with only 1 being over 30 lines. This is typical on my account, but I am new so not sure if that has something to do with it or not. I have a pretty high requirement to hit, but with at this rate, it is pretty slow going. Is this pretty common?
Thanks. ...

Pay For VR Editing ... DO NOT SELL YOURSELF SHORT Apr 10, 2010I haven't visited MT Stars in quite a while, but I noticed tonight some postings asking whether $10 or $11 per hour for editing VR transcription is reasonable. NO! IT IS NOT REASONABLE! Any seasoned, experienced medical transcriptionist who lowers themselves to edit for half of what they should be making as MTs is insane. We are destroying our own profession by not standing up for ourselves, our expertise, our experience, our professionalism. Not me. I'll ...

I Hate Really Short Reports.. Aug 07, 2012Most of the time if a report is a minute or 2 long, that's no big deal. But I just had a report that was all of 20 seconds. I spent more time in the ADT screen (verifing and adding in things the clinet wants) than I did proofing it (ASR report like always), and it ended up being a measly 2 lines. Wow, I just made a whole 8 cents. That will almost get me a package of Ramen noodles.
Thanks for letting me vent. ...
Do Not Sell Yourselves Short!! There Is A World Without VR. Nov 29, 2012So many of us have been "gobbled" up by Nuance in the last few years. So many of us are transcriptionists with specialized, honed skills, and those skills are valuable. Do not be deceived by a company who devalues your worth and causes self-doubt and continues to tout itself as the leader in the industry. I believe there are many facilities, doctors, clinics, etc, who do not want their work run through a computer to be deciphered. It may be time-consuming and seem like a fruitful task, but if yo ...
Short Term Disability Feb 25, 2013My wife just went on short-term disability and so far has received a check for 3 days that is peanuts.
I'm getting zero help from benefits/PR on this and Hartford is really pathetic.
I know you get 50 percent, but 50 percent of what? She's a Level III MT. I calculated last years gross wage, divided it by 50%, divided by 26 so that should be the STD but I'm not sure what Hartford considers a base wage?
Our attorney is curious too. Any one experience STD through Hartford/MMod ...

Short Cut For -year Old In Word Sep 27, 2013Hi there,
Can anyone please tell me the short cut so I can just creat an autotext for -year old patient.
I am working in Word and every time I try to do this with the hyphen, a space is left between the age of the patient and the hyphen ie: 27 -year old, instead of 27-year old.
I have forgotten the trick to do this.
Thanks,

Well... 33 Lines Short This Week. Dec 30, 2013:-) Was solicited ASR Proficiency training/mentoring if I had not already had it.

I let her know full well that my LPH depends almost entirely on the ASR. ...

Tips On Short Reports Jan 13, 2015I got switched to a new POD and went from accounts with long reports to one with really short ones, like at least half of them are less than a minute. Between downloading and uploading and time spent in ADT, I'm struggling with my line count and I'm wondering if anyone has good tips for how to approach these short reports in order to maximize line count.
Please only respond with real tips if you actually happen to know any from experience (sorry, find a different job doe ...
Well Isn't This Just Great........Failed A Very Short Mar 03, 2015Because it's so short I got 90%. There is no coming back from that. No way to get back on the grid even if I got a slew of 100% reports in a row. And now that they wait 2 weeks instead of 1 to count your QA, this will follow me for 2 weeks instead of 1. Tell me, WHAT is my motivation now to continue doing well for the next 2 weeks?
As a side note, I do NOT agree with that major error. Oh, it was a typo alright but it didn't affect patient ...

Any help is greatly appreciated.
