Question about being PT and calling in sick...

First, let me say, I do like my TSM, she is great and I know she is only doing as she is instructed, but where do these people get the nerve to call me on my day off and think I will stop what I'm doing and help them? The audacity is mind boggling. Cut our pay, put most of us in financial ruin, expect more and more for less and less pay and then you want ME to help YOU? If it wasn't so pathetic, it would almost be funny. How stupid or maybe greedy do y ...

I'm trying to give you all a wake up! I've worked my whole life (50 years) and have never been paid for only half my work. What I'm doing doesn't matter. You have to decide what you're going to do. Voice recognition will get better and medical providers will buy their own. Why pay companies like Nuance to edit when they can do it themselves? Why do you think Nuance is selling Dragon? They know exactly what's coming and want to milk the industry for all they can. In ...

Have phone interview next week. Looking for info on pay scale, weekend/holiday/schedule expectations, and vacation time info. Don't want to waste my time or theirs. Please only reply if you are a current employee with knowledge of current policies. I looked on their website but can't find this info.... thanks a bunch! ...

I am not wanting to know opinions on traditional versus speech anymore...been doing that way too long...absolutely moving on at this point. What I would like to know is...what did those of you choose to do when you gave up MT? Very, very important to me. Thanks. ...

Its one thing when private business with private equity sends jobs overseas. It is entirely another when Medicare and Medicaid is supporting job growth in India. Why are we not emassing in the halls of Congress???? This affects every American, not just MTs. ...

Just wondering if it's okay/possible to put my "Call" macros back towards the end of General_Macro? And if so, where? I tried moving them to just before End Sub and also before Page 1:Selection..., but those locations didn't work. I'm getting an occasional errant "g" or "L" (apparently related to the GramLiter macro) at the very beginning of my VR text when I run it now, which I didn't have at all before when the "called' macros were at the end. Was part of the fix ...

Did the doctor change his mind on the patient's position, or is it just a gap because he got distracted and repeated himself. Gee, should I put modified or not put in that word? I would say the doctor was distracted and repeated himself, but who knows (except QA). I have been smacked too many times to make any decision. This is what happens when you treat a dog like we have been treated - too leary to take any action! Should have included that in the company survey! ...

I don't know where to begin with trying to record a macro for this need myself. On my main account, we're required to list meds without any following punctuation, but due to other MTSOs also subbing on it (who apparently don't have any specs or just don't have to follow the same specs we do), the lists invariably come through on VR with totally inconsistent punctuation. Such as this: MEDICATIONS:Ativan,ZofranDexamethasone.DiltiazemLanoxin. But should be this: M ...

What prior profession did you come from? Were you able to pass the CCS after graduation? How long did it take you to find a job? Did your CCS help even though you had no coding experience? What kind of entity are you working for? Are you glad you chose Andrews? Any other comments for me? (I am about to apply there) ...

If anything..they are simply a Sales Convention for MTSOs and only have their interest at heart. There are never topics that relate to working as an MT or being properly represented. Instead we get the never ending changing BOS, or the CMT certification which AGAIN has changed...and btw..took a look a "sample" test and it has NOTHING to do with being an MT! It was more for a clinician. We are language specialists..not clinicians. I have been an MT for over 20 ...

I finally have the opportunity to get out of this work-at-home situation and go to a hourly paying job doing radiology transcription. The only radiology I have done is the usual radiology dictated on reports in the acute care setting. In your honest opinions, do you think that someone who has been doing acute care for 15 years could transition over to radiology? Thanks ...

I am beginning to hate the fact that I took this job. They keep calling us off or switching us to clinic work or something else. This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. I am going to have to find something else. ...

For the first time in 6 years, I am job hunting. Sadly, things seem to be going downhill fast with the employer I have been with for just over 6 years now and I have a strong feeling that it's time for me to start exploring other options. I just dusted off and updated my resume and sent it to a couple of companies who have ads posted. It has been so long since I have had to apply for jobs. My question is how long to you wait after sending your resume before follo ...

I had been wondering how I was going to come up with a down payment to register for the Andrews coding course and it looks like I will be able to do it in a week. I am so happy I could cry buckets. I have not been an MT as long as some, but I entered the field because I love research and anything medical related. When I started as an MT, MTSOs still wanted blanks and everything else researched for as perfect a document as possible. I still have issues with spending ...

and educating them about what truly constitutes a STAT. Just because something is dictated by a resident does not mean it is a stat, especially if the discharge was 4 months ago. Of course, I also have fantasies of conducting a class for residents, helping them to utilize their critical thinking skills and critically evaluate the pertinent information for the report instead of talking for 30-45 minutes about stuff that does not need to be on the chart for the umpteenth time. If ...

I am so sorry if this has been posted before. I looked but didn't see any other posts. I applied with M*Modal a while back but landed a different MT job that I'm happy with. But these people still will NOT stop e-mailing me and calling me and leaving automated voicemail messages. ONE voicemail message is quite enough. If I was genuinely interested in working for them, I probably would have called them back, ya think?? (And boy, it's really nice to know I am not a human being t ...

If you get sick, as in in the middle of your shift, like asthma flaring, feeling worse than when I started this morning and will be lucky if stay out of hospital, kind of sick, CCM off, who do I contact? regional team lead? ...

This was a wonderful company to work for at first and now we have new QA people and I can't stand my job. Everything has been changed after 12 years of doing it one way, and if I do it the way the doctors have dictated/still dictate for years I get an email about how I need to follow the new rules. This is one QA person that has decided to change everything. We enter a lot of information that we're not paid for, and are now no longer paid for headers, and forget about BOS a ...

Here I am, getting shuffled around in the 'cesspool', a dozen unfamilar accounts. You have your decent accounts with just the basics. Then, you have the CPs that are a long as novels and, if you miss something, you will hear about it, the fact it is in the CP and you shouldn't make such a mistake. I already spend so much time reading CPs, that I then get warnings that my production has fallen. So much for a consistent layout of CPs. I have to hunt for desired PE format, etc... ...

How do you keep your mind on it? I just sit here all day thinking how much I hate this. I'm not a newbie. I've really done this a long time. I would rather do ANYTHING than sit here and type or edit these boring reports. ...

I should have 6 hours in by now and I don't even have 3. If I didn't need the health insurance, I would quit in a heartbeat ...

that you quit worrying about all that nitpicky excrement just hoping you would finally get fired. I can't wait for my next audit. ...

We have an account that is 100% QA. So, so, so sick of the nitpicking "a" "the" crap. If you put "the patient" they change it to "patient." If you put "patient" they change it to "the patient." Sick of slowing down to catch every little "a" and losing money by the second. Screw it, I'm just gonna do my best and the MMEs can just have a field day with their petty changes. ...

i know this has been mentioned in here, but what is up with whole sections of a note done by ASR being missing? its bad enough that we get paid nothing to do this ASR crap, but when we have to actually transcribe whole sections we should be getting paid at the straight typing rate. i'm so close to just wiping out these ASR dictations and just typing them but i don't know how to do that...to change it from ASR to regular. i'm sure i'd get yelled at anyway. &n ...

Okay any CTLs observing this board, please, please, please explain to me why an MT/ME cannot ask for sick time? I have a doctor's appointment and the doctor/specialist WILL NOT make it for a day I am off. So, I requested time off w/o pay for the day. I don't have a problem making up the time, but I am already working constantly as it is to make up from a very serious illness I have and am trying to get well from. The email we got was very vague ...

I am currently awaiting a call from my boss about going salary for my position as an MT, and I have no patience , so just for fun I googled "how much salary does a medical transciptionist get paid" and I clicked on this link to one of those question/answer sites where someone asked about the average transcriptionist's salary, and what I read made me sick. This person wrote a huge answer about what is to be an MT and how they get paid and such. This person is claiming essentially they ...
