Does anybody work standing up on the regular?...

Would it be better to be an MT or MME? Which do you think will be the last one standing when it all starts to fall? ...

You have no doubt heard of those Last Man Standing groups, where a group of people, such as survivors of a disaster, get together and each make a contribution which then goes to the last living member the group. I propose 4/1/2014 all mmodal US MTs contribute $10- for lottery tickets to go the very last US MT that mmodal has left after all the 99.7% firings. Anybody interested? Let's not the let the door hit us in the butt on the way out. ...

Has anyone tried a stand-up desk or just tried to stand while typing? With all the stuff in the news lately about how dangerous sitting is, I would like to give it a try. Just wondering if anyone has been doing it and has any tips. It seems like it would be a little hard on the legs when trying to stand and use the footpedal. I have seen some new treadmill desks that look awesome, but obviously wouldn't work for us using footpedals. ...

Anyone out there stand while working? I am thinking about having my husband build a platform/raised desk so I can stand while I work. I'm so tired of my leg and feet falling asleep as soon as I sit down and start using the foot pedal. I'm wondering how hard it is to stand and use the foot pedal. ...

I am just wondering if any MTs out there have tried these standing desks that seem to be so popular. I get the general idea that sitting all day is bad for you, but I am just not sure this works for our line of work. Any feedback would be appreciated. ...

and always bad news. ...

I'm curious about something - maybe it's because when I started doing MT, it was straight typing. I've only been doing ASR 2.5 years. Has anyone noticed if they're more accurate when doing regular typing than they are with ASR? I have. I rarely make mistakes with straight typing but sure can have a lot of typos, duplicate words or whatever pop up on the ASR. Plus, as an added benefit with regular MT, whenever the dictator pauses, I close my eyes for ...

I'm trying to figure out what this doctor means. He's dictating the vitals signs and says "pulse DT and regular." He's clearly saying "DT" (not "DP" or "PT"), but I can't reference it anywhere. Any help? Thanks :) ...

dictated" heart regular rate and rhythm, no s/l octopi noted? i dont think she's talking about an octopus!! ...

I got an email about open enrollment for PT flex, PT limited and and FT limited. Well, what about FT regular? Why does everything have to be so long and drawn out and complicated with this company. I just want the darn information! ...

Do you work or do you not? ...

being paid hourly for VR but also am now doing regular transcription intermingled randomly so hourly pay is becoming "pay by the minute" because 1 report will be VR for a coupla minutes, then the next is regular. anyone else experiencing this? if so, are you making any substantial money, can it be done? many thanks, gitarMT ...

They are pulling all of the coding students to do HDS work for 2 pay periods because volumes are out of control. ...

Down below someone said it only comes as a separate check if it is over $100. Mine have always been in the 120 to 150 range and I have gotten a separate check. But for the past 2 months, nothing. CCM has no idea what is up. Just wondering if anyone's bonus if over $100 came, as usual, as a separate check. TIA ...

FYI: If there are any emails you need to save for reference before the perge, go into that email, hit forward, and send to your personal email. ...

Sorry, my math really sucks and I can't seem to find a site that will 'convert' decimals to regular numbers. If a patient's lab test reads as 23.0 and the doctor dictates it as 23,000 are these both correct ways of putting it? Also had absolute segment coung of 17.48 that was dictated as 17, 480 and bands of 0.23 that were dictated as 230. If these are just other ways of expressing the same number and are all correct, great- I just want to be sure that is the case. I ...

What is your usual daily line count? How many hours is that in? Not VR, editing, anything funky - just straight typing. Just curious... Thanks!!! ...

M-Modal has a current job opening listing for PART TIME MTs (there is a separate listing for FT ones too). WTH is up with that? I mean, I myself was planning on giving my notice soon enough to this crappy company and actually was glad I was laid off instead of quitting...at least now I am eligible for unemployment until I find another job....but really, WTH? It's not an old listing, has TODAY's date on it. What is the reasoning? ...

Just shoot me now. I had some great accounts that are outside my area coming in. Unfortunately, now my regular accounts are showing up and my count is taking its usual dive. Bad audio, crummy output. And the compliance coach thinks it is me that has the problem??? Performance coach was performance managing me for "failing" audits, i.e. getting 99.65%. Now she is our compliance coach, so I am getting informed that my line count is teetering just below the requirement. I let her know that ...
