The patient is 8 years of age seen in the office today with dad at the request of Dr. Surell regarding toeing in. I have explained that it does not lead to arthritis and there is nothing that can be done outside of surgery which surely is not indicated. I have explained that any kind of bars and braces are not helpful since Mother Nature corrects this on its own. I did give him a paper concerning this and ___*dual/do a* ____ graph. ...

Over the past years, MT has had its ups and downs. The problem is, the downs go down more than the ups go up. Occasionally an MT will see an increase in pay, but then the TAT, quotas, accounts she is given, etc., take that pay increase away plus. I understand that MT is still a good career if someone doesn't care about making very much money, but the graph is definitely trending DOWN. ...

The blue is gross, the red is net, but what does that mean? Are the lines supposed to touch, is one supposed to be over the other, what if they are super far apart, or right on top of eachother? How can I go from under 200 lph one day to over 350 lph the next? Are we supposed to run on an even plane or is up and down and all over the way to go? I am so confused. ...

When the graph first was introduced I was able to keep it pretty high. However, for the past week or so, working just as hard, of not harder, I'm about 50 to 100 less than I used to be. If this is happening to others, do you think that they showed us what we can do at first and now with the last maintenance have artificially made it look lower so that they can psychologically trick us to work harder? My conspiracy theory for the day. ...

I read the link. The electronic medical record STILL is not the problem (my account with Q right now has EHR and I TRANSCRIBE the reports). The problem according to the article is that the Clinicians are inputting the data -- be it typing it in or point and click or speech rec --- but that information STILL has to be put into that record somehow. They are choosing to do it themselves and not pay transcriptionists, but the Electronic Medical Record only means that it is totally ...

She just contacted my sister-in-law 2 days ago about a problem my sister-in-law complained about. I left there in May but she (my sister-in-law) still works there unfortunately! But Amy is definitely not gone. ...

technology poor sound quality of dictation should be a thing of the past; however, that is now my #1 problem. I have put a notation in the QA notes several times lately of the poor audio quality. I think dictating on a speaker phone or cell phone (I don't care where --- office, home, bathroom, ballgames, convertibles, motorcycles, airplanes, or outer space) should be MT-outlawed and if a dictator does it, the report should be trashed and he should have to dictate it over (y ...

I am NOT going to read all those posts, but I just wanted to let you know that you are lucky you only get audited once a month. I get audited DAILY, at least once a day. Today I got audited twice, one 100% the other 99.75%. If I can remember correctly, I got dinged for typing something like "Aorta was tortuous" instead of "The aorta was tortuous". It was for an account that has a multitude of dictators - I swear there is a new one every day and no two on a consistent basi ...

who said it makes no difference to MM's bottom line if they put us on 100% QA because it usually is not permanent. Even if it is just for a month or two and they are lowering our salaries by half or more, multiply that by the number of hours worked and by the number of MTs on 100% QA. They can lower their costs by many thousands per month - at least enough to throw themselves a huge party. ...

company and my pay was cut 23% at one time. You say good management-this company has a rep for this kind of stuff. Do you think it is good management when accounts run out of work daily because they are only overflow (almost all accounts with this company are overflow) and are overstaffed to stay in TAT-I had 5 accounts and still didn't have enough work? Do you like pulling teeth to get work and/or answers because there is only 1 (ONE) person dishing out work who has the persona ...

I agree with that wholeheartedly. But unions CAN force fair compensation for the skill and experience with the new technology. I have never understood the concept that MTs should be paid half of what they normally get paid for straight typing when doing VR editing. When doctors learned how to use da Vinci, endoscopic procedures, etc., did they get paid less because their new equipment helped them to be more proficient. Do doctors get paid less for EMR because a lot of ti ...

I would like to contact you by email please. ...

I was just reading an article on 98,000 annual deaths, and those were due to medical harm, like hospital-acquired infections, careless surgeries, and incorrect medication orders. In that article there is only one mention that has to do with healthcare information technology, and it wasn't MT or VR. It was about electronic prescription orders to prevent medication errors due to sloppy handwriting and harmful drug interactions. Not once is it mentioned about deliquent charti ...

There are nothing but a bunch of highly hateful and bitter MTs on here. Wow!! I think you all need therapy! ...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I have had enough of the lack of work ethic in the transcription industry from the doctors and their myriad ways of making our life miserable and unprofitable. I will be moving to an area that has a Whole Foods, and even though they are outrageously priced, I believe in their mission statement more than the joke this industry has turned into. I can't wait to hang up my earphones. I appreciate your suggestion, and I am heeding it. ...

I remember she worked at Medquist and was on here a lot offering advice through all the changes. She shared how she worked through the first pay cuts in 2005 or around that time by working just three and a half days a week (lots of hours) and earning the highest production bonus possible. I believe she was also in school getting her MD? She was very informative, and wondered if anyone has heard from her, if she's here, still working at M-Modal or if she got her degree? ...

ALL-HANDS MEETING STATED: Performance management will be done for greatness of work to raise the bar on every MT/ME. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! This morning's email of trying to get us to be near 100% is bullcrap! MM won. I just hope and pray by moving this bar up that the company will fall. After giving this company more than 2 decades of my service, I HOPE TO QUIT! I am pulling money out of the 401K and finishing my schooling. This company is great ...

I am tired and frustrated from applying and sending out resumes only to be ignored. It is like a game with them, I think. MedGarde even has an interview which has absolutely nothing to do with your skills or qualifications. In fact it seems like psychological testing to see if you are mentally competent or something like that. I swear I feel like a mouse that is being tested and run through a maze to see how well you perform, but even mice will get the prize or food event ...

I am considering requesting this pay which (depending on the state) considers us to be on-call and must be paid for part of our shift if no work. I have had it up to here with Nuance and running out of work, adding more and more accounts and STILL no work. Got a second job and STILL being screwed by Nuance in the sense that I cannot rely on my first job (income wise), because when there is enough work they manage to screw my cpl with their lovely FIESA, then as soon as I have no errors the work ...

--they're not receiving responses from "peeps" (are you kidding me?) who want to work for 6-7 cents a line as an IC. LOL. I should hope not. ...

You reported messages all morning and are still at it. There is nothing wrong with the messages you are reporting. I can tell from your statements that you think your comments are going to the person who made the post. Well, they aren't! LOL They come only to me. You can take your snide, hateful self to another board if you don't like what is being posted here. Moderator ...

Your boat analogy is right on in every way. For those of us who have been in this business for a good while, it's hard to witness firsthand the continual degradation of what once was a viable and respected profession. And it gets me, because what we bring to the table hasn't changed. We're still highly educated people with a vast knowledge base and skills that should be recognized as being worth something. No one off the street would be able to do what we do. We're entru ...

For those of us that have been on here a while, we know how to use the Search function and utilize it to scan the archives for prior info on a company we are researching. If we can't find the answer to what we are looking for, we will THEN post a question about the company that wasn't previously answered in our search. Here you come with your irritating reply to "search the archives." Alas, a newbie comes along to this site who doesn't understand yet how the site works to try t ...

I realize you don't understand why some of us go with companies offering extremely low wages. Let me try to enlighten you (at least in my case). 1. I am 68 and physically disabled and cannot work outside my home. I am on SS, but there is no way I can live on that alone. 2. I have two specialties in MT tht I can work on comfortably and Mercedes has the both. 3. To transfer from one company to another and not have to be trained on the accounts/platform (BayScr ...

what was the email regarding "lockout of schedule"? thanks! ...

An account manager sent out an email suggesting that we monitor our emails on our weekend days off, and then log on to help if requested. Am I the only one who expects to not check emails or work during my one weekend day off? Even though I have a required schedule, should I expect to work 7 days a week in this industry, including on my days off? Am I asking too much to be allowed to not turn on my computer on my day off, or to be allowed to go out without worry about rushing home to check em ...

just heard from someone who worked there. ...

Does anyone have experience with being on call, whether you have to be paid for on-call time? My husband works a job in maintenance and they just recently cut their hours back to 32 hours per week, having them off on Fridays. They told them that if an "emergency" occured on their off day that they would be called in. Well, today, husband went out of town to visit his mom and his boss called and told him to go to a work order that needed to be done and he told her he was out of ...
