A load off literally - MT
Posted: Jul 17, 2013
Finally quit. Except for leaving MM I have never felt such a load taken off my shoulders. I am going to a hospital system where historically they do not treat people like robots, or slaves. I was going to try to hang on here, by hermiting (do my job and not look at e mails, etc) but decided to try to get out and with a lot of job hunting it worked. I still cannot believe how much pressure has lifted. Oddly I no longer feel depressed. I guess now I know what was causing my sadness... I am not saying it is going to be perfect, but this constant whipping and fear or allowing it all was taking the toll. Hope that whomever wants to leave this situation here works to get out. I literally have a load lifted off me this day. I did not want to die at 52. Thanks for listening.
I quit 3 weeks ago. - Luccalla
[ In Reply To ..]As soon as I gave notice, a huge weight was lifted. So sad too because I really loved my job. I had a great account and great TSM but for the very reasons you mentioned, I just could not take it any longer. Best of luck to you.
Know how you feel - mt42long
[ In Reply To ..]I know exactly how you feel. Just gave my letter of resignation. I am tired of being in a revolving door with paddles swinging down from every side - saying "you have to increase your LPH, you have to decrease your errors, you have an error reduction because you did not place a comma (seriously -?). Like you I thought I would hang in there and try to be a hermit, just ignoring all the swinging bats, but you cannot do a good job for anyone and especially for your own satisfaction when you are constantly under such fear and pressure. Best of luck on your new adventure - it really cannot be any worse can it?
P on the fire, call in the dogs, I'm done too - Sick of It
[ In Reply To ..]This job is awful. Seriously. Even the slaves of 1850 had a better working environment - afterall, for working those folks had food, shelter and clothing. I dare say it's dang tough to get any of those two working for this company.
OMG, I've had enough already! To make this VR mess to work one would have to reinvent the wheel.
Having an ESL dictate to generate a voice recognition report expecting that to generate a written document woud be like shoving spaghetti into your fax machine expecting it to print out a recipe.

Literally Physically Sick Of This
Jul 30, 2013
These are the last 3 days of my notice. I thought I would be elated. Instead, I had a really really bad day (again). I have always done well, been in the business forever. I learned to hang on here a year, rarely if ever paid mind to the nasty e mails because I kept my nose to the grindstone. I managed to get bonus almost every payperiod the last several months, and last time got the big bonus. All of a sudden out of nowhere about 3 weeks ago I suddenly sucked so bad as an MT it seems I ...

I Am Literally Going BROKE Working For This Company
Dec 05, 2011
My region has just brought on a few new accounts which would be considered a good thing for most but here is my problem. I'm an MME so these new accounts are all 100% QA which means I've only made $0.03 cpl for days now. To make it a thousand times worse, it seems as if every doctor on one of our new accounts has a different set of samples and formatting to follow so when I'm not earning $0.03 cpl QA'ing other people's work I've got at least a dozen samples open ...
Literally Was Falling Asleep While Typing Just Now...
Dec 20, 2011
Was just falling asleep while transcribing a report. I kept nodding off. I had to rewind quite a few times to see what I may have missed. I usually don't have this problem, but I went to bed really late and had to get up earlier than usual so didn't get the sleep I normally do. What is a good wake up remedy? ...
Well, I Knew It Would Happen...This Job Is Literally A Pain...

I have noticed that my right index finger is a little bigger than the left, feeling a little tender, not real painful yet. I measured them and sure enough it IS bigger. Great, does this mean I'm getting arthritis or something? In my late 40s--am I old enough for this? Probably. I just hope this doesn't get any worse. I'll be in big trouble. I had to drop my medical insurance. And if I can't work, I don't know w ...

I don't think I am going back to working here. My son thinks it isn't right for me to leave b/c of a bad boss who micromanages everyone until they cannot breathe. I have another source for money and for the little I make here it isn't worth the effort anymore. Just writing to warn others about the micromanaging done here. The pay is so little, it isn't worth it. Thanks for listening. I know this is a negative move on my behalf regarding money but you cannot take m ...

Frustration And Anger Over This Job Might Literally Be Killing Me.
Apr 02, 2015
I once took great pride in the practice of medical transcription. Funny that we didn't call ourselves "editors" then, because the fact is that we really were editors in much more of the true sense of that word than we are now. A true editor can take garbage, stomp it, filter it, ferment it, age it, and ultimately bring forth a bottle of delicious wine from it. This, we did also. From garbage dictations, we used superior language skills, a knowledge of many subjects, skill ...

They are just not delegating the work adequately. This is my biggest pet peeve of all time. There will be several thousand jobs in my region and my accounts run out...and then I sit...and wait...and nothing. They say change your hours, well guess what? I already work mostly 2nd shift. "Make up time on Saturday." There is no work, apparently, on Saturday anymore either! In looking at the numbers, certain hospitals seem to never run out, while others are just bone dry. Overstaffe ...

Cannot Get DocQScribe To Load

I tried to get DocQScribe to load from the DocQManage page for over an hour and finally had to send in a ticket. Is anyone else having this kind of trouble with the system. It showed a green light on DEP. This is getting rediculous. I could not work my scheduled shift on Sunday because there were no jobs available (but incentive stayed in place). Now I cannot work my scheduled shift because of something else. I don't know about anyone else, but with a fam ...

Another Acusis Meeting. Another Load Of B.S.

Always the same old song and dance. The subject of MTs needing more pay per line comes up, and what does the speaker do? Redirect the focus on all the added "upgrades" to their software they plan to buy (probably for hundreds of thousands of dollars) to "help us be more productive". Got news for them. You can only go SO fast. There IS a limit. And after all the emphasis on accountability and accuracy, do they not see that speed just increases errors ...
Hey 3rd Shifters Out There, How Is Your Work Load? Sm

Am I the only one who runs out of work? I find it very hard at night to keep going with the dreaded no work available. At least during the day, you can clean house, email, pick up the telephone, etc. During the night, you are limited to surfing and staring! Then I am too sleep deprived to pull extra hours to make up for missed line counts. I am doing third shift for the extra incentitive but it doesn't work in my favor if I run out of work! Any ideas?
