I am transcribing a cardiology lecture by a doctor, and he is talking about cardiovascular disease and pregnancy:

"The blood pressure typically is decreased by about "tentor" during pregnancy, but if you have low blood pressure associated with symptoms, it is felt to be abnormal."

Tentore? Tintor, tintore? Tem tore? ugh

Ten points? - nm

It fits the context. I see torr conversions to mmHg when I search on Google.

Thanks, I'll have to write that one down.

1. Combine the 2 largest companies .... a lot of MTs. 2. Developing technology, such as Epic, leading to needing less MTs. 3. Offshoring, for less; thus, losing accounts but not MTs. 4. Summer vacation for many doctors resulting in less work after Buyout. ...

I originally posted this as a reply to another poster, but wanted to re-post it so that everyone could see and understand why our pay has decreased so drastically the past year.

Since the transition, I have not gotten nearly as much ILP QA as I used to. Not much in the way of US MTs either, but I expect that with their blank contest. I have a feeling they have made ILP work only QA'd by ILPs now without the extra step through US QA. If that is the case, there is going to be a lot more garbage reports going to the hospitals, especially considering ILP QA barely even look at reports before sending them on. ...

I was working for a company that got bought out by another company and the client I was typing for was paying 12 cents a line, now the new company will only give me 7.5 cents a line for the same client. This client is ESL and very hard to learn and his files are always 10+ minutes each. They told me I would eventually get 10 cents for him, but that was almost 6 months ago and still only get 7.5. I have asked for a raise to at least 8 cents and they denied me. What would y ...

I've had time to think about this whole First Time Right plan. I've seen a lot in my 32 yrs in the business and in my humble opinion, I think it will be okay except for the part about CPL being decreased if the QA submission rate is too high. There must be an alternative other than taking away hard earned pay. Anyone else agree? ...
