A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry

Just curious about non-MTs on this forum. sm

Posted: Nov 26, 2012

I saw part of a post the other day where someone said there were posters here who are not transcriptionists. How many are there? Guess I just assumed that everyone who frequented here was an MT. I am just curious why you are hanging around a political forum that is part of a transcriptionist forum. Obviously, you are allowed to post here, but just find it odd you would want to hang around with us. LOL. It must be boring here with so many other political forums to post on.

This kind of makes sense though and explains some of the odd posts I have seen on this whole forum in general, posts not sympathetic to MTs in general. A lot of the posts throughout the forums the last 6 months don't sound like they would come from a transcriptionist. I also wondered how you all had so much time to post here. LOL.

I know it is none of my business, but I am curious.

a non-transcriptionist would come here. There are forums out there specifically for politics that are also more active than this one. How would other people even know about this board? I just don't see it.

Anyway, there's no way to know who is and who isn't, unless someone comes out and says "I'm a bank teller!"

The one person who said non-MTs were here I don't think followed it - up. May not be true at all. nm

who changed jobs/careers but had a posting history here. If I win the lottery or start a new career as a trained assassin or something, I'd still come here and annoy all of you good people on a semi-regular basis :)

I do too!!!!

People think I'm nuts but I have a special spider-saving Tupperware technique. Some are not so cooperative, but once they're outside, they turn back and flash a smile :-)

Spiders are special.

:D The enemy of my enemy is my friend, and mosquitoes are totes my enemy. Besides, I don't like to do harm when I don't have to.

That's true. - RC

I'd come back, too. I guess I was only thinking about people who have never been transcriptionists posting here. I find that idea baffling.

welll....I guess that answered who and why...didn't it. - neeme

former transcriptionists come on the board just to "annoy". heeemmm.

non-MTs on forum - FloridaMT

Maybe, just maybe, it's some of the higher ups in our companies??? They are on here to see what we are saying about them (but don't really care, obviously). That's why they aren't sympathetic with the way things are. Just my opinion, could be wrong, but maybe . . . .

I worked for this company for 17 years and then retired. I could take no more. I feel I have "paid my dues" and every now and then post a comment. I truly feel for any of the MTs who are struggling and trying to get out. It floors me to hear of all the ridiculous changes and requirements that are still taking place. Whoever comes up with this doesn't have enough to do, has no knowledge of the ins and outs of transcription, and is just trying to slow down production. Good luck to all of you. Keep the faith and never stop trying to find a better situation!

My take on it - Working MT too

[ In Reply To ..]
I think posters are assuming there are people here who are not MTs. I think some people think they have these special powers that by reading a post they know if someone is an MT or not (LOL).

My take on it is this. This gab board, politics, comedy stop, etc that is part of this forum is neutral. The subject matters that are discussed are important to a lot of people, not just MTs. The issues we are going through whether it be family stressors, holidays, losing a pet or friend, etc are not MT issues. I'd love for more people learn about this board. The other forums here like the main board, job seeker, and that board, yes they are specific to MTs and if I was not an MT I'd be bored reading it, but the gab and politics, games, etc is fun and should be open to all. In fact I'd tell my sister about it but I write too many things about her LOL (just kidding, she's busy with her family so wouldn't have time to come here), but I think it should be open for all. If I ever won the lotto or stopped being an MT i would still come here because its a fun forum and I enjoy the topics being discussed.

I love to discuss political issues in an intelligent fashion, and I have friends w/ vastly different opinions than my own. Sure, sometimes it gets a little heated because we are committed to our beliefs. Thing is, we can sit and discuss the issues w/o calling each other nasty names and judging each other. Maybe I'm a bit naive, but I can't understand ehy we can't address issues w/o personally attacking each other. Some of the posts here would make a stellar ...

I heard some of these right-wing Middle Easterners are aflame over Masonic-Jewish conspiracies, which made my hair stand on end. What happens if the crazed Western and Middle Eastern wingnuts realize how much they have in common and start destroying together? Once upon a time, the influence of family and neighbors, the local community in geneal, provided some balance and control, but these days they can band together across vast distances. ...

During 2016, I will: * Post no personal insults. * Post no insults related to political parties in general, which is the same thing as a personal insult to everyone who belongs to that party. * Use no demeaning terms to refer to political parties or their members (e.g. "teabaggers", "commies", etc.) * Investigate every issue BEFORE I POST, thoroughly and objectively. * Critically assess the veracity and objectivity of my sources of information. * Will no ...

If someone posted this "want a whomp round your head? I'll be glad to deliver one to you courtesy of yours truly." Would you consider that a threat even though they are supposedly on the other side of the country? While there have no other physical violence threats there have been several nasty posts made directed toward my husband because he has the "absolute gall" to disagree with this person. No threats made by my husband, nothing nasty either. ...

The level of political discourse on this forum is petty and childish far more than informative or objective. Maybe one day we'll all learn to break free from our political masters, stop regurgitating the nonsense that they feed us - and (dare I hope?) discover that no party is worthy of blind devotion or has all the right (or wrong) answers. This nation is at a point in its history when we need citizens who know when something is proven and when it isn't, and citizens who cherish pat ...

and throwing their hats into the ring for the upcoming elections next year, I decided to sift through the archives of this board, going back to 2008 election and up to Obama's inauguration. It was interesting to read all the very heated posts on both sides of the party lines. In January of 2009, the last thing I posted on the subject of Obama was: "Time will reveal King Obama's inexperience and shortcomings." It made me wonder, where are all those passionate Obama support ...

about President Obama speaking personally about the killing of Trayvon. I don't condone what Zimmerman did. It is my personal opinion that it is kinda hard to say you killed someone in self defense when you were chasing them. The 911 person told him to stop following him and that he had done enough. Do I think Trayvon was a saint and never screwed up in his life...no. As to the President...I don't think he should have gotten involved. I don't se ...

such as cutting living expenses, groceries, quality of life maybe just to work less and enjoy life more. I have been an MT for 18 years and feel like I am wasting precious life and things I really want to do by sitting in this chair from sun up to sun down. I personally think by re-budgeting things and working less would be so worth it in the long run. Right now, I have plenty of work and supplement my husband's income and can make all my bills, eat out, buy clothes, shop, ...

After my divorce in 1994 I started buying my own jewelry second hand primarily at pawn shops, on ebay, and from Craigslist since the retail markuup is 100% to 200% (and don't get me started about my niece-in-law). In any case, I see a lot of diamond rings on Craigslist that people say they have paid a warranty on, keep getting dipped, and have checked regularly every 6 months. Is this some new con by retail jewelers? Aren't diamonds pretty much indestructable? What a ...

How many of you live an isolated life because of MT and how many have lives/hobbies outside of doing MT at home, not working in-house. Are you waiting for work that even if you wanted to you can't do anything else. Are you too poor to do anything outside of the home. Does your work shift just leave you exhausted and run down you can't do anything else, or your motivation to be outside the home is down the tubes and life as you know it is inside. I've been ...

Who is she going to fight and why didn't she fight for "us" previously when in a position of power as a career politician and married to the president? Where was the fight in her then?

her supporters and the crowd sitting on pins and needles all night. It was really sad to see the tears on the faces of most of them. For her not to come out and even just a quick address and thanking them for support etc. just kind of sat bad with me. It also confirmed my decision not to vote for her. I'm not being sarcastic or looking to stir anything up, but I really was sad for all those people shown who were obviously upset as they left (and throughout the night) and for her not t ...

I voted basically for Trump to reform taxes and to bring jobs back to America - "Make America Great Again" and the only thing I hear is Russia, Russia, Russia. I ...
