RadTrans Rant

Please please please stay far away from RADTRANS. I should have read the posts before I took a position with her. The woman who owns this company is CRAZY! She hired me last week and then very rudely fired me before I even had a chance to start. She told me I would not start working until June 22, but the person she hired to replace me was starting on Monday. HUH?!?!? When I questioned her about it she told me that she didn't say that and I don't lis ...

If anyone out there is considering working for RADTRANS, all I can say is run away as fast as you can. The owner of the company has no idea how to train people. Yesterday, (my first day of training) I called her and she was crying because she had so much work and was so stressed out. I felt confident that I could help her in the afternoon and when I called her back so she could send me some work, she was out getting a manicure! Cuckoo!!!! I have been in this business for over 20 years ...

I was just wondering, since I am considering a position with her. Please be brutally honest. Have you worked for her? Did she pay on time? Does she pay as well as you expected? Thanks guys! ...

This is hopefully my final post on RADTRANS. Shortly after my last post, I received an e-mail from owner of RADTRANS. Apparently someone e-mailed her regarding what I said (according to her email she has no reason to go to this website, this is what she said: I DON'T GO ON THERE OBVIOUSLY AS I HAVE NO NEED TO..... THAT'S A SITE FOR "MT'S WHO HAVE SOUR GRAPES" LOL A CHAT ROOM I SUPPOSE FOR MT'S WHO HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO TH ...

Just wanted to let everyone know that the above company, RADTRANS, is posting an open position on MT Jobs. Please think about this if you are considering applying. Check the archives and see what I mean. Have a great day everyone!! ...

I was thinking about this earlier today. I worked for a lot of years in hospitals doing MT, worked for doctors doing the same (I often had doctors try to steal me away from the hospitals I worked for to go and work for them but I'm loyal to a fault and it sometimes gets me hurt), and when I was just working for a doctor to cover for a transcriptionist on vacation, I was always asked back for the next vacation. Always had perfection with my reports, never ever had an issue w ...

I work for a small MT company that put me on a small account with 4 doctors, and I was told that I'd be the only MT. Within a week it was obvious someone else was taking all the work, and I was told that this other MT was only supposed to take jobs "when necessary." However, she takes all the jobs the second they show up. Despite watching like a hawk for 10 hours a day, I get maybe 35% of the dictations overall, and the whole time I know that this other MT has OTHER work s ...

I have tried to give DSG a chance because I really hate changing jobs, but damn... this ASR gets worse every single day. I thought I was developing a rhythm and some speed with it finally and now it can't complete a single solitary sentence in any report I've had in the last three days without a serious error. It doesn't even come CLOSE to typing what the dictator very, VERY clearly says. I don't understand how ASR works, but how can it be getting worse all these months af ...

I think I could really make good money on VR if I was the only one on my account or if it learned specifically to each person editing. I'm getting so tired of working on reports for a day to finally get them to start coming out needing little editing by the end of the day and then coming back on the next day to find the same reports SO full of errors after different people were on the account for the next shift. It's great when you have other people who are good at their jo ...

Okay. Well, I decided to test with my old company again (SoftScript) with which I had been employed for four years. I failed their test. My rant is this. Am I being unfair to think that it is on record that I worked for them four years, was never late, always got my lines, always got 98% or above on audits (my last audit was 100%) and it has only been 5 months since I left ?? Shouldn't all of this be taken into account ?? I suppose n ...

Let me preface by saying that I am not a veteran in this field. I have only been a MT for about a year and a half. I graduated from one of the AHDI accepted schools. In the short time I have been working, I have worked for both of the national MTSOs. In my opinion the grass is brown on either side of the fence. I was originally enamored by the possibility of working from home and setting my own schedule. The later may be true if you have experience and are fortunate enough to hire on with a good ...

My days are numbered, I already know. I've given this job the best I could do. After 14 years of no complaints they have broken me with their petty BS, condescending ways, (Feel free to reach out....), then when you do if you're not on the prime list you get no answer or worse false info. Requested part time from the beginning but 35 hours is not P/T to me. Lot of flexing because shift is 11 a.m. - 6 p.m. (I was not made aware I have to ASK if it was ok to ...

I just need to vent. I really wish these residents would learn how to press the @#$%$% PAUSE button. I am so tired of listening to their (literally) 14-minute discussions with other residents while they are dictating a 4-minute op note. Obviously they do not realize that there is an acutal person at the other end of that dictation line, who has a family to provide for, and their jibber jabbing is a complete waste of my time and taking money out of my pocket while I am listening to them talk abou ...

Mandatory OT????? I am doing jobs that were dictated less than 1 hour ago. I am getting the worst of the worst ESL dictators. I don't mind doing some of them but I don't want ALL of them. Pass the garbage to some others. My head is pounding try to figure out what they are attempting to say. Will be lucky if I come anywhere close to 1200 lines today. Wishing for power to go out. HA!! ...

I have spent the enitre morning doing ASR on an ER doc who does not pronounce anything correctly, eats loudly and talks with her mouth full, yawns but does not stop talking and says things that make absolutely no sense at all. I beg anyone who this sounds famiiliar to to email Support and ask that she be removed from ASR. I have done half my usual line count today because of this horrid woman, and I can't even F11 because of the stupid limit!!!!! My irritation factor is th ...

I used to love transcription. I felt competent and like I was doing a service to patients by making their medical records into an understandible format. When I was working oftentimes I would be "in the zone" and time would pass by quickly. I felt proficient. After working for MedQuist for 6-odd years, I'm sick of them, sick of transcription in general. I dread going to work every day and yes I am looking for another job but being over 50 and having done nothing but work at home in tr ...

Have you ever noticed than when a dictator tries to adopt a "conversational" style of dictating, that it is very hard to try and figure out what's being said? They start and stop several times so that you can't remember what the original line of dictation was, plus they add "you know" every other sentence. I DON'T KNOW!!!!! My account is a verbatim one and so I figure out as near as I can what he's saying and then send it through. ...

With workloads running low, wouldn't you think the companies would end offshore transcription and give the work to American MTs? The only thing that keeps me from bringing this up to HR is that I genuinely like the company I work for and I like both my accounts. There is just this one thorn in the side ... ...

For the hours I worked yesterday, I earned a total of $48!!! The breakdown was 60% ASR and 40% typing,and out of 3 jobs I get paid for typing, 2 of them were ASR jobs that I had to F11!!!! If I had typed all of the jobs, I would have earned $81. Talk about a slap in the face, both professionally and reality-wise. Reality with the Q is worse than I thought. Oh yeh sure ASR is faster than typing - NOT!!. As an example, one ASR job was 8 minutes. It took me 45 minutes to complete that job! I ...

With this hand-slap email, "...We understand some of them are unnerving, but it is everyone's responsibility to do whatever comes in queue timely. Every now and again we are going to lose TAT for one reason or another, but it cannot be for this reason. It is pretty hard to explain to our clients that our loss of TAT was due to MTs avoid certain jobs. " I'm just a little curious, TT Boss Lady, does this apply to the 2 MTs on this account who are fed OP notes excl ...

I am months away from completing an "associates degree" in MT at a well-known online "university." As I have prepared to change careers and start finding a job, I have realized what you all seem to already know...the job pickings are slim at best, and NO ONE wants to hire a newbie. In short, I have never felt so taken advantage of and just...scammed. The education I have received is sub-par, with more time spent with unnecessary classes like "Keyboarding" than with classes tha ...

If you, the doctor, can't pronounce a medication or another doctor's name, what in the name of little green apples makes you think I can figure out what the heck you're saying so I can spell it correctly???? /rant. ...

THE DEMISE OF THE MEDICAL TRANSCRIPTIONIST I started to call this "The Demise of the Medical Transcription Industry," but that would have been inaccurate. The industry itself is thriving. Actually, transcription companies in all probability show the highest profit margin of any healthcare-related industry in the United States. In fact, I would swear to it. I have done some research and I came across several interesting articles. This paragraph is an excerpt from a ...

Hi, All. I'm out looking for a job (another displaced MT) and have been trying to organize my thoughts when a potential employer asks why my resume looks so ridiculous. Just sharing... I have been employed in the medical transcription (MT) field for over 20 years, both as a transcriptionist and at various levels of management. I obtained the CMT (Certified Medical Transcriptionist) credential in 1990; however, this certification is not, and has never been, acknowledged by medical ...

It so bugs me when people who should know better mispronounce words in dictation! This NP who is dictating says "ejection fracture" instead of ejection fraction consistently, doesn't even seem to stop and wonder what it might mean or if it makes any sense! She seems to basically understand what she is dictating, so how can she not know there is no such thing as an ejection fracture? When I'm typing I need to understand what I'm typing to make sure that what I&# ...

So, I got chewed out by QA because a doctor dictated a lab value INCORRECTLY! It was a genetic lab value, not your normal CMP, CBC or anything like that. He DICTATED the value and I TYPED the value. The dictator stated that this was a normal value. He was quite clear in his dictation and I typed what I heard. QA got all over me and said that lab value was incorrect, and not normal, so regardless if he dictated it, I should have flagged it. I told her it wasn ...

or, if you just want a laugh, go to Glass Door and look at the reviews for Nuance. They have a total of 1.7 Stars. The first few pages are the honest slaves. At the end, there are some QC and "management" people who only have nice things to say.... There are even a handful of people from India on there, some happy, some not. I don't think it matters how many of us implode, explode, etc, Scrooge will NOT CHANGE. He's too busy counting his millions. (Actually he probably hired ...

I would love to have just 1 stinking report that I didn't have to renumber every list in that report. Of course it has to be done manually which just slows me down! Mission accomplished. Short but sweet, I'm done. Happy New Year all. At least we know we have one constant in our lives other than having to pay taxes and die. ...

Before we got the notification about new changes, when I went to Fiesa, I had a lot of 100% reports, and very rarely got an email from Fiesa. Now I am getting one every few days. The person that used to edit my work no longer is, and a different person with an Indian-sounding name is editing my work. What happened to no more nitpicking. This person seems to find all kinds of nitpicking, nothing to do with patient care I looked nipticking up in the urban di ...

ARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! I am typing a 25 minute dictation and every 5 words I get "I'm sorry, please go back"...I'm sorry, please go back...I'm sorry, please go back start rant... PLEASE FIGURE OUT WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE GOING TO SAY BEFORE YOU START!!!!!!! I love typing a REALLY long dictation and only getting 1/3 line credit because you made me change 90% of what you friggin dictated!!! end rant... Thank you...I really needed to vent! ...

RadTrans Rant - NCMT

She did the same to me.... - waste of time!

she's a little off. run far far away. - can you spell schizo-------?

If an MTSO treats a potential employee so shabbily, - imagine how it is once you work there! :(

Yeah, and you know she said she would send your files back with corrections - NCMT

Don't worry about it! - Strange, very, very strange!
