What if we made a stand from our own - computers


Posted: Dec 29, 2013

And made a pact to F-11 every report that had say 5 ASR errors? Ha ha I can dream can't I? Never get everyone on board, but that would drive home our point.

honestly? I actually hate straight typing. I just wish ASR paid more - I like editing.

so no I wouldn't be with you on our F-11. sorry.

I don't like to straight type anymore either - hint

You could always edit the entire thing..then highlight the report make it an expansion, I use 1 and then F11 and reinsert it. I use that format for other things but it would work..

I don't like the fluency SR, but the radiology - msmt

had a platform all its own for a while that was great! It was super easy and was easy go navigate. The great thing was we got paid per report just the same as straight typing. I don't work for MM any longer but before I quit, they were talking about getting all accounts switched to fluency. I don't miss fluency at all.

Stand Up
Nov 11, 2010

I know supervisors are overworked also in this field, but I wish supervisors would stand up for their workers.  Start communicating w/your MTs/Editors and Go to your higher ups and enlighten them on a few things - simply relay information to them but first you have to get it.  It would benefit us both greatly. Everywhere I have worked, supervisors only communicate 1-way.  They don't seek input, return e-mails, etc.  I guess if your at home your out-of-site and ...

I know the job market for MTs is not like it used to be, but I am an ex hospital employee who lost her job to the big NuISance, too. If they continue to get good MTs for a pittance, they'll keep up their monopolystic tactics. In the time I worked for them, they ate up Transcend, WebMedEx, and Accentus (which was about the last company offering decent benefits, based in Canada). If they can't get good MTs, they'll have to mend their ways, but as long as their door keeps revolving, ...

Stand-by Pay
Nov 29, 2014

I think every MT who is subjected to sitting and waiting for work that is not there should be paid for stand-by time.  Who do these criminals think they are that they can continue to use people like pawns.  If absolutely everybody would submit an invoice for all the idle hours spent waiting for work, it would bankrupt them. ...


We Need To Stand Together.
May 28, 2015

Without us VR is worthless. We are valuable and deserve to be respected for our knowledge, talent, and experience and compensated fairly for this. The powers that be will succeed in cheating us of our ability to provide for families and our dignity, if we allow it. I am going back to school and getting out of it altogether after 23 years. I see no other way. Any suggestions? ...


Don't Be Afraid To Stand Up For Yourselves...

What has happened to us as an MT community.  Whenever someone speaks up with anything negative (but factual) about this so-called profession, there is always someone there to belittle the person, or give the old (my personal favorite) just shut up, take it, and LOVE it attitude.  We have absolutely NO  POWER left whatsoever? Is this true? Can this be  -  in our great country - are we just lying down and accepting all that is happening. We are allowing ourselves to go ba ...

Do I Have A Leg To Stand On If I Argue This

as of 07/24 we all started on our "new" pay scales.  I started work this morning, first thing I checked was my stats and I have THREE critical errors and the dreaded e-mailing that I failed audit... my first ding is on a verbatim report:  X-Fix corrected to ex-fix.  Now, I know that there is the Biomet X-fix device and that ex-fix is short for external fixator, but since at the beginning the doc refers to Biomet, I chose X-fix.  This should not be incorrect or critical error ...

Okay, I Think It's Time For ALL OF US To Take A Stand On VR Pay.
May 25, 2012

Here's the bottom line, colleagues.  We're getting paid exactly what we deserve because we don't have the basic fortitude to stop it. I think, in particular, that women are abused with respect to pay and benefits in the workplace because we are NOTORIOUSLY GUTLESS when it comes to sticking up for ourselves. I had to think about this three times before the irony really struck me:  They pay us half rates for work that can be as difficult and time consuming as straight tr ...


Stand By For Further Developments

Just had an audit - first one in months.  Got a 99%+ but apparently I am sending too much work through to the hospital with blanks and I need to send more reports to QA.  Told them I would send more if they did not penalize me financially for doing so.  These accounts are the worst by far that I have ever done in over 40 years and I am not prone to hyperbole.  If they did not penalize me I would probably send 75% to QA.  They can accept my work the way it is, increase th ...
