Will Obama's new employment law affect MQ?

We are ALL upset with our transcription jobs. Whoever this is acting like a 2 year old in these posts needs to grow up. ...

Did you happen to read the letter to Obama written by a transcriptionist when first logging on to MTStars? I think it is VERY well said, and we should send a similar one to him. The writing is definitely on the wall. I am seriously considering quitting as I am sure MT's jobs will be obsolete very soon. However, now I am debating whether to stick it out here until the end and hope for either a severance pay or unemployment. My CCM was MORE THAN HAPPY to off ...

Since the gov's all about obamacare nowadays and HIPAA and whatnot, maybe the US MTs need some sort of special interest group to storm Capitol Hill and demand a consistent style for healtcare documents...a certain way to do HPs, OP notes, summaries, consults, ad nauseum...hey, the buzz word these days is interoperability, right? I just cannot fathom why or how these facilities and physicians within them get their way all the freaking time. If the gov would attach format template ...

While President Obama is touring India, I sure hope he finds our jobs, loads them onto Air Force One, and brings them back to us...along with the wages that we once earned. Instead though, we'll probably just get T-shirts (made in China) that say "I are a global MT." ...

Has "Obama care" gone into effect??? I am part time. Does the company have to offer me health insurance that I pay for?? anyone up on this??? ...

Did you hear? No tax relief to any American company who sends work overseas. IT IS ABOUT TIME!!! I believe the republicans and democrats stood up for that statement!!! ...

I am just wondering how it is assumed that the Obama Health Care Bill will affect the medical transcription profession. ...

I have heard and read that Obama is really pushing the EMR, and by the year 2014, he wants all hospitals/clinics to implement this or else be taxed. He also is supposed to be offering grants and incentives if they do also. So any hospital or physician office that doesn't will be taxed more and will not get incentives, grants, etc. So I think most will try it cause they don't want more taxes and want the incentives, etc. So where does that leave us? If you work for a hospital, what ...

Gibson Guitars, accused of using illegally imported wood, a claim that Gibson refutes and for which the company has filed documentation to the contrary, has now been told that their problems "would go away" if they used labor in Madagascar. http://www.washingtontimes.com/blog/watercooler/2011/sep/1/picket-gibson-guitar-ceo-obama-admin-told-us-our-p/ For those of you brave enough to access this site...you can hear an account of the entire debacle from the lips of Gibson CEO directly ...

Here is what I put in this petition - I tried not to make it specific to MT, as there are more jobs that need to come back than just ours. Stop the overseas off-shoring of American jobs - at least stop those that contain personal information. (this is the title to search for at "we the people" if the link does not post)Stop the overseas off-shoring of American Jobs will keep American Jobs in American, will keep American money in America. Once that money leaves it will n ...

I think I have figured out an excellent strategic way to approach writing this letter. My objective is to GET IT READ. Guided by my intuition, I put some ideas down in a beginning document on my computer --- as as I did so --- other ideas began to float through my mind. I wound up with something which I think is a very good strategy. I am not going to say what it is. I'm just saying that I feel QUITE GOOD about this way of presenting "the story." Once I ...

"Gait and coordination are intact. Affect and ----- appear appropriate." Almost sounds like "episode." Part of a regular physical examination. You can tell I've been stuck on Ortho for a year, because I've forgotten how to do physical examinations. Ugh. ...

1) The patient will be given medication to effect bowel movement prior to discharge today. OR-- 2) The patient will be given medication to affect bowel movement prior to discharge today. ...

Just finishing up the night shift and want to go to bed and let the Sudafed take me away. I'm thinking it's affect (the noun), but just want some input to be sure (overtired paranoia setting in). Of course, this is the last note of the night too. If I weren't tired, I know I wouldn't be doubting myself. I have given her a note to that affect. - or - I have given her a note to that effect. Thanks! ...

She has severe arthritis in the hips which is chronic and was attributed to previous use of steroids and due to cause (divedious). What could this word be? Does anyone know? ...

The doc I work for frequently says "and he will increase the dosage until he experiences exessive side effects or good affect." I know the first "side effects" is correct, but I believe the later he means "good effect" and he just says it incorrectly, but I question myself each time. Is there anyone who can clarify this for me? I am most appreciative! ...

Significant artifact affecting the resting phase of the study. Is this correct or should it be effecting? This is not a test. It is an actual report I am doing this morning. My mind is shot. ...

Is there an easy way to know if you should use affect or effect? ...

I have been an MT for years and years and years (not telling my age haha) but I still to this day have the hardest time with affect versus effect...anyone have any genious tips on which to use when would be greatly appreciated??? For instance: It is hard to determine what affect/effect the medication will have or how it will affect/effect the patient's outcome. The only one I am really positive about is when it has to do with the patient's affect. Thanks you are all the best ...

Just wanted some thoughts on this article with regards to transcription. Scroll down to How Will The New System Help... http://www.m-scribe.com/blog/bid/214013/Medical-Documentation-and-Coding-Demand-Will-Increase-with-ICD-10 ...

Does this make sense? The patient's affect appears to be somewhat elusive. This is what it sounds like he is saying. tia. ...

"no mass affect was noted." Is it affect or effect? ...

I wonder if this is an "open the floodgates" kind of thing and will have a domino effect and more companies (like Medquist) will start laying off, too. Anybody have any comment on this? ...

I.e., how will Medquist use the new bill to their benefit? ...

It seems it would behoove them to keep the work here unless they will remotely manage. ...

http://www.executivehm.com/article/Transcription-in-the-21st-century/ This article (above link) has quotes from present COO of Wedmedx who is President of MTIA and used to be former Spheris boss. This article explains how the MTSOs want our lines counted. It explains how they want to take away all keystrokes that cannot be seen by the naked eye. Won't this effectively save the hospitals and MTSOs from paying MTs for up to 1/3 of the keystrokes w ...

Will Obama's new employment law affect MQ? - Show me the light
