I know this is a ridiculous question, but

Pinging in and out. Getting booted off. Losing reports. And what slow reports are coming through are all wrong...wrong patients...wrong data in ASR. I knew when I read that email a couple of days ago that they were going to update the client's database and apologized for any inconvenience this might cause, we were in for trouble. So predictable. Thanks MQ. All I want to do is WORK! ...

So I send resumes to about 20 places yesterday and I get responses. They say they only pay 8 cpl, but their test is ridiculous for a pathetic 8 cpl. Forget it MedInk!!! ...

I am currently doing a doctor who actually spells out "N-O" whenever he says the word no. I'm ready to scream. ...

One of the docs upset because many of us are leaving the word "and" out of one of his sentences so we got an email instructing us to make a note of this. Never mind that he dictates at the speed of light on a speakerphone, we need to be sure we get every single little word. Heaven forbid anyone should ever tell these docs it is their responsibility to slow down and make sure they are understood. ...

I sat here for 2 hours waiting for work, and I finally have a few reports. Now the sewer just now backed up for the 3rd time in 2 weeks. ARGHHHHHH!!!! I have had the plumber out twice already and still owe for one visit! I make way less than minimum wage most days and am having to depend heavily on my retirement account (I'm only 56). Feel like everything is raining down on me! I also had to call a wrecker the other day because I locked myself o ...

Is it just me or are a lot of you making minmal wage? ...

As if speech rec can't get more annoying and stupid. Working on a report that had Progresso for progressive over!! ...

My team is required to be signed into a conference in Spark when working our account. That is not a bad thing, in fact it is quite educational because I am seeing just how ridiculous everything is. The account is verbatim, you only type a heading if it is dictated. Someone is worried that the doctor said Procedure for a heading naming the procedure and then later used procedure when beginning the real procedure. That MT was worried about getting dinged if she changed the ...

Talked to the recruiter 2 weeks ago tomorrow (Friday, after her postponing the interview on Wednesday), she was very nice was told the paperwork would be send Fed Ex after not receiving it was told the gal in fhe office was out and would be sent later, and of course based on a "background check" etc -- with training to supposedly start 06/14/2010 -- I have since accepted two positions and if I were an MT, I would be VERY leery of this company -- a month to start is ridiculous especially wh ...

As with most of you, my pay from Medquist has taken a total nose dive ever since ASR went to 85% while at the same time cutting our transcription rate down for ASR from 70% to 60%. That's a 40% pay cut!!! I've had to take another job elsewhere to try to make ends meet. Besides that, our health benefits are the absolute worst and get worse every year. Can anyone ever remember any kind of cost of living raise? I used to make $36,000 annu ...

What is wrong with these companies! That type of transcription is a minimum of $1.00/min!! You have to look up so much drug terminology and who knows what the audio quality could be like. I can't believe they have the NERVE to offer $.07/A LINE!! And as usual, they are targeting the "newbies" who they can take advantage of, rip off and pay slave wages to - they are right up there with that other company who posts jobs for general transcription - the name of which escapes m ...

This is soooooo ridiculous, my blood is boiling. The doctor dictated: "Continue vancomycin and will obtain a vanco trough and further dosing recommendations." I get it back as a minor error. She changed it to: "Continue vancomycin and we will obtain a vanco trough . . . She's acting like he put a contraction in there such as we'll. That's purely a judgment call. No wonder we're getting emails complaining about our high ra ...

Up to now, I have hardly ever run out of work but the last 2 weeks it has become steadily more and more and here I sit on a Tuesday morning with no work. I hope to God we are not losing this account because it is an awesome account. I cannot sit here and work all day as I have a second job that I work also. This is truly killing me!! Might as well go back to bed ...

It kinda looks like TTS can't get anyone to work for them with their ridiculous wages. You'd think they would have figured it out by now. ...

OK...everyone wants to complain about QC and I get it, I am sure there are some QC out there who should not be in the job. However, I just processed a report, and even before I started doing 100% on it a glaring issue stood out... Chief Complaint: What's finger paint. Um..yeah....listened to it and can anyone guess what it really was??? Left finger pain. She also typed that he got his hair caught in a clothing rack, when it really was his finger, left out words everywh ...

Fer cryin' out loud, my 4th totally new hospital in the last few hours and I don't even want to talk about what that does to my line count. Got a great big email from the new supervisor reiterating the rules about hours etc. but god forbid she should have let us know this was going to happen. Geez. ...

I had a very odd thing happen last night, a doctor was complaining about the quick turnaround on the reports! Work has been very low at my company, which is the result of overhiring and having way too many MTs on the accounts, and my company does this purposely in order to get really quick (as in immediate) TATs. So, I'm transcribing reports last night as they trickle in, if I can grab them in time before another MT gets them, and one of the reports that I got was a consult. At both ...

This is ridiculous. We are told that to get the measley 15 mins on our time for NJA to get ticket, send Email and put in Schedule Source timesheet alert to manager message. Do NOT stay logged in to check for jobs. Now quite frankly half the time I cannot even get QCare to come up, and definitely MQCentral on the My Community part is asinine acting. I do clock out when getting NJA, but sometimes I have stayed in DQS to see when jobs come in. S ...

for putting potassium was 216. She said patient safety is an issue here. I said ok. I mean with the crap pay I get, they cannot expect me to memorize normal values in anything!! That is what QA is for, for one thing. For another, if that is what the dr said or even what it sounded like, that is on HIS shoulders!! What a crappy job to have!! ...

I've had 20 audits in 3 days now, all 99% or higher score with 1 critical error that was really a questionable typo I haven't had time to pull to see if I agree with....think of the money they'd save not QA'ing us to death here. I've been with the company for years, never failed audits and this is getting almost abusive by them to waste my time sending me this crap which I then have to spend my time, on my own cost, to research and challenge their mistakes in the a ...

Ridiculous. Nobody can maintain 99.7% accuracy for the long-term. They're probably going to fire me anyway so to heck with it, I'm just typing away. Whatever. ...

do. You would think they'd want to keep their MTs/document specialists (whatever) a little happy or at least on an even keel, especially since NO ONE seems to be going into this field anymore!! Of course not! Instead they try to intimiate with mandatory OT and "consequences." Where do they hire these bozos. Actually, Bozo the Clown would do a better job (and at least we'd have a few laughs instead of a whole lot of tears). ...

Another idea of MQ's that might sound good in theory but in practice this is totally ridiculous. First off, I can't even get any reports to come up....I tried different variations of entering info into the search, only to get nothing back.....so stupid. Second, do they really think we can do this with how LONG it takes.....first you have to sign out of DQS, then sign back in with a different password to get to DQM? Get out of here! I was hoping that maybe ...

I posted twice on this board asking specific questions. Both were deleted. Why? I recieved no message from the moderator, so what's going on? Can anyone answer? ...

Dictated: All cyst was removed, as well as osteophyte as well. Transcribed/Edited by me to read: All cyst was removed, as well as osteophyte. OFFSHORE CORRECTION: All cysts was removed, as well as osteophyte as well. This particular account is "modified verbatim" allowing us to change improper grammar and redundant/repetitive statements. So, I deleted the second instance of "as well" since it had already been said just ONE flipping word before! What do I get for ...

they'd have left? ...

3 corrections per line when editing MQ's ASR and especially for 4 cents. And I am even stupider for continuing to do this. Grrrrr... For the last week, I have so been teetering on writing a truth-filled (and consequently not nice) letter to the ASR department condemning them for their shoddy work. Although, I'm sure I would get in plenty of trouble. ...

So, here it goes -- We all know the medical transcription industry has really gone downhill with regard to our pay. I currently just lost about $10/hour to change to editing and I have been doing it for several months hoping that it would get better, but it has not. This is just crazy to me. You still need the same amount of knowledge to create an accurate medical report. I do not know about everyone else, but the reports I am seeing coming ...
