So reshuffling of accounts means nothing - Still no work


Posted: Oct 19, 2012

Apparently I am still in the half of the North that has no work.  After seeing the list of accounts we supposedly have in our new BOB I had a glimmer of hope, until we got the update today that stated that most of these accounts offshore anyway.  So more accounts but not really any more work and more MTs fighting over a minimal amount of work.  Plus incentive this weekend so now it is a double whammy of no work.  Looks like I will be taking the day off early.

Sorry, thats awful - Cant they do anything for you?

once when our supervisor was out so I had her E-mail. I told her the situation, that I was constantly without work, and voila I was reassigned and was very happy for about 4 years with my new account, except that there just wasn't any money to be made anymore so I found a different job. It is certainly worth a try.

New Accounts Means Lower Pay

It seems the minute you get used to an account and are earning a little above minimum wage, they then put you on another account and then you're back to a lower speed because there's lots of new MT Instructions to review and get used to, etc. ...

No doubt you’ve read marketing articles written by Nuance extolling the benefits its voice recognition software for medical professionals. That’s to be expected — they’re trying to sell a product. A very expensive, time-consuming, imperfect product that is not for everyone, no matter how hard they try to convince potential buyers otherwise.  But they are very good at making it seem like it’s the best thing since sliced bread.  Because the buyers believe th ...

Jul 23, 2010

Sorry if this topic has been covered before, but I haven't been able to find a thread about it. If the health care reform means more Americans will be insured, then more Americans will be using doctor and hospital services, and there will be that much more transcription to do. Do you think this is right? Shouldn't there be a much bigger volume of transcription to be done, starting in a few years? ...

You can guarantee the out of work situations are not truly out of work. Go to ES website for your account and select "all available" files. There is usually work there, but it is off-shore.  I have experienced this on every single account I have been on over the past 5 years, ever since Nuance bought my company. Things that make you go hmmm... and connect the dots...anyone? ...

Nontoxic Means What In Physical Exam?

Hi, I'm a fairly new MT.  I come across "patient is nontoxic" often enough and I've come to think it means he is not sick/contagious.  Google searching does not yield much.  Maybe I'm missing something.  Report today had doctor describing patient who has a rash/contact dermatitis.  He begins to say he is "nontoxic" but then seems to swallow the end as if changing his mind.  My question is--Would a patient with contact dermatitis who is NOT sick in any ...

How To Get Your Own Accounts?

I really hated it and did almost as much typing then as now - only at half the rate.  That being said, has anyone gone out and found a couple of docs locally to transcribe on their own?  I guess I'd have to buy a call-in system?  Just seems like it w ...
