Anyone considering the Radiology position for Cardus on the Job Seekers Board - PLEASE see message

Posted: Jan 17, 2011

Anyone considering the Radiology position for Cardus that was recently posted on the Job Seeker’s Board, please consider this (from the Cardus website):

Manpower

- - US offices have 32 Medical Transcriptionists with vast specialty experience - primarily in Hospital Radiology, Oncology and E/R experience varying from 5 – 23 years in these fields as medical transcriptionists.
  - India back Office 130 qualified Medical Transcriptionists who are graduates in Life Sciences - have experience varying from 1-9 years in all specialties in the field of Medical Transcription.

As far as I am concerned, that is an India-based MTSO, not a U.S.-based MTSO.

Please, please DO NOT contribute to the demise of the U.S. Medical Transcriptionist. I know jobs are hard to come by, but unless we tell these companies NO, they will continue to have the majority of their work done off-shore and we are given the leftovers here – the dictators no one can understand, the unrealistic TAT, and being treated as an employee but being classified as an Independent Contractor.

Please hold out for a better position – there has got to be something better than this company.

JUST MY OPINION !!!!

I am so disgusted with the Indians ripping off our jobs. I hope that the moderator will see fit to remove this ad!

I'm doing the best I can not to contribute to the demise - - -sm- MT Wordz

of US MTs by not applying at ANY MTSO. I'm holding out for an in-house hospital or clinic job, and I don't care how long I have to wait. MTSO middlemen CHEAPEN THE VALUE OF OUR WORK.

I think it's about time MTs and hospitals got serious about cheapening the so-called "value" of MTSOs. They do NOTHING. They simply get rich off of OUR skills and OUR hard work. They're basically nothing more than pimps.

You are so, so right. I am so depressed because the hospitals and clinic jobs are not there. I feel used. You are absolutely right. I could go on and on with stories how they always used us, from the first job I ever had where my supervisor used transcription to cover the clinics because "anyone could just type." We covered medical records because we were there, then were told a service could do our work because we were not getting our line counts, so that was how they justified terminating the department and 'saving money.' Now, save it with India and every other foreign country and service out there. Right that we are now PIMPED. That makes us ?????!!!!

Thank you for your post and HEADS UP on this ad and company. - AT

Many things to think about as Meditech is a nonproductive program, but then even the 8 cents a line. That is nothing nowadays, even though there are 7 centers out there and even less!! BUT, you never can pay the same with radiology. If you have 1 normal chest, you make NOTHING. Few radiology jobs out there, so get too excited when I see one and want to tell all my friends who are out of a job. THANK YOU FELLOW SMART TRANCRIPTIONIST!!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!

um, so many errors in your post, I get the drift (anger) but not the point. - huh? NM

It says great pay but there are 3 dislikes. It is to RCJPS.com. Is that the job placement service that makes you pay $75? Also the other one said mommyjobsonline and it had some dislikes, too. Is that the same deal...pay $75 to get a job that really does not pay that well? Just curious. ...

Does anyone actually work for MW Transcription Services? When you go to her website, all you find is her hawking her book and multiple ads for schools (including the matchbooks that guarantee $60,000 year). Her “SERVICES” and “RATES” tabs are empty. How does a company get any business without having any of that type of information on their website? In fact, the only tabs that have any information are the ones that offer her ebook for sale and her ...

Do not work for Cardus. Their management style is the worst. They play favorites and if you are not on "the list" you do not get lines. They claim to have a lot of work, but you run out frequently and will not train you on other accounts where there is much work to be done. ...

Hello fellow MTs, I have mainly worked for a local company out of my home. In fact, it's been my only MT job. I didn't mind giving out information such as my social security number for an IC position because I knew this person well. This company paid via mailed checks so there was no exchange of bank account information. I am asking because I have been contacted through this board to test after posting a job wanted ad. Please help me out if you can. My questions are: How do ...

In case you have not figured this out already, you are probably not going to ever get out of MT into some other office position unless you become proficient in Microsoft Office. I just had an interview and was once again told that I was less likely to be hired without those skills (part of the job is MT; that part they liked). If you've been doing nothing but transcribing and editing medical reports for the last 20 or 30 years, like I have, it's time to brush up your skill ...
