More than anything, I hate it when they're eating and dictating. I can't verbalize how upset this makes me. I'm not asking the dictator to kiss my rear end, but right now I've got an ESL with an incomprehensible accent chomping and chewing in my ear. AAAARRRRGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! ...
My paycheck today was a whopping $137.00.....Not even enough to cover my car payment!
Thank GOD for partial unemployment or I wouldn't have been able to make it this far (by the way, if you haven't heard they are about to take THAT away from me too - NC Becomes The First State To Eliminate Unemployment Benefits - http://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/north-carolina-becomes-first-state-to-eliminate-unemployment-benefits.php ).
I also had the smarts to get a part time job. ...
I have watched all the mergers and acquisitions over the last few years, and I every company I go to work for sells to one of them. Who is left that is still pretty big? Part of it is just my being curious. I used to know who the biggest 10 companies were, now I have no idea. Does anyone else know? ...
Unless the CP states otherwise...
When the doctor dictates "Dr. Smith," don't pull in his full name with credentials from the database, just type "Dr. Smith."
Example: Dictated: " I called Dr. Smith to the ER. "
Type: I called Dr. Smith to the ER.
NOT: I called Emmett J. Smith, MD, to the ER.
If the doctor does dictate a full name or for some other reason you do pull the name in from the database, remember to put a comma after the credentials if it is in the middle of the sentence.

that was promised for 08/28/2010?
This was by far the most unfair contest yet. It was spread over all platforms, all work types, and there is no way someone on BeyondBelief can compete in production with someone on Escription. I hope they think future contests out a little bit better so everyone can have a chance to win rather than just the chosen few. ...
Why oh why do so many companies use those lame boxes for you to copy and paste your resume into?
My perfectly formatted, beautiful document gets all messed up when pasted into their boxes!! And fixing the new tabbing, etc. "errors" takes forever!!!!
Rant over. ...
Just a suggestion but if there are so many people with complaints about companies or their MT careers, etc., instead of getting "bashed," deleted, or otherwise, why not make a forum just for complaints and opinions and leave the other boards to more respectful and intelligent conversations. Let's see if what I just posted doesn't prove my point. ...
before?
I have a major issue with my pay and have gone around and around with my company (LARGE MTSO) for a week now and keep getting excuse after excuse. If the problem is not rectified by 5:00 p.m. tomorrow, I plan to file a complaint with the Dept. of Labor.
I'm just wondering if anyone else has ever done this and what the process is like? I'm wondering if I do this, if I should expect to "suddenly" lose my job afterwards?
I'm just sick and tired of having incorr ...
Hi everyone:) This is not a good night for me; I have been getting very bad dictators lately, my reports are so short, less than 2 minutes apiece, and I haven't gotten anything decent to speak of, and I am about to throw in the towel with this company. It seems that since I have gone part time this has been happening a lot. I am pushing just to get my required line count in, and with jobs like this it is hard to do. My pay is going down, down, down, and I feel r ...
I think the email we got from L. yesterday (on a Sunday!) was really overboard. She said the were " tired " of work being out of TAT on the weekends. Weill, I'm tired of there not being any work on the weekdays. I happen to use Sunday as my day of rest and time with my family, and I truly resent being bawled out for not working on Sunday. I work the other six days and have a life on Sundays outside of OTI.
I am so sick of being treated like a second ...
Has anyone ever asked to not have their work reviewed by a certain reviewer? I keep getting work back from this one particular person where they remove what I transcribed and put a blank in its place. I made the effort to send in a report with no blanks and they take out what I transcribed??!! I am having a real problem with this person doing QA on my work. Is there anything that can be done about this? ...
Has anyone reading this ever filed an age discrimination complaint? I have never felt my age was an issue before this current situation, but now have the feeling that it is, at least for possible employers. Recently, I was offered an IC position. I completed the required IC paperwork and submitted it. After that I never heard another word from the intake person or the two people I was supposed to be working with to get set up to be an IC for this company. I emailed the intake person and one ...
Are the current guidelines to put a period (.) after incomplete sentences, such as in Chief Complaint of Assessment/Plan in an H&P, Op Report, etc?
Thanks - Gail ...
One of the biggest complaints I have is when the doctor doesn't spell the patient's name. I mean I cannot know how to spell all foreign names nor can I tell if it is a male or female.
Another one is when doctors do not spell carbon copy doctors' names nor sometimes even say where they are from.
If they want those things to be accurate, then dictate it that way PLEASE.

Plan: Admit to medical center for stabilization and evaluation. Oxygen 2L per nasal cannula. Theo-Dur 200 mg p.o. q. 12h to begin with. Lasix 40 mg IV now and 40 mg p.o. b.i.d. This is where I need help........... Digitalize, replace potassium. Should there be a comma after Digitalize or a colon? Thanks in advance ...
I am supposed to be an IC, and according to the IRS definition and 20-factor test, I am being treated as an employee with each day bringing new employee guidelines into play. How do I file a complaint and be allowed compensation and benefits as an employee? This company is just worming their way around paying benefits and downtime compensation to employees by stating they are ICs.

I just cannot bring myself to spend hours filling out an online application when they already have my resume which has ALL of that pertinent information on it!
I also cannot see spending considerable time filling out an online application, then waiting to see IF they respond to me, then IF they do respond with an offer to test, going through the testing to get an offer I can't accept.
The online apps, though, are the #1 issue for me. It is insane.
Through complaining. T ...
First tech wanted to go over with me how to actually do it. I told Sanjeep no thanks I already took the tutorial, I know how to do it, I was just filing a complaint that the new spellcheck is time consuming and redundant and costing me money. Why must I hit spell check minimum of 2 times for each report and why must it stop on every mandatory heading with no way to bypass them? Why does it spellcheck the entire report twice when you try to split a job? Why did they decide to use Shift-Alt fo ...
For the great State of Wisconsin (as they say).
All that free data entry we do, headers and so on - yeah, I'm gonna put a price on all that. Go ahead and tell me, State of Wisconsin, that in the great United States of America, workers can be expected to DONATE their time and effort to a company, and it's A-OK. Go ahead, tell me that - so I can add it into my video. ...
but I have been with OTI for MANY years and I have VERY SELDOM run out of work. If I got low on work, I'd ask for a backup account and usually got one. They don't bother me while I'm working unless they call to ask me to do a stat. Perhaps they have "favorites," but I'm not one of them, I can assure you.
I don't understand, if you are so unhappy with Oracle, why you don't just LEAVE?
I'll probably get a bunch of flack from this post, but I'm sick an ...
If anyone knows of a hospital, clinic, or large practice offering remote full-time or part-time employee positions, I would really appreciate an email. I have the sudden need to help support a family member long term (in addition to myself) and really need to find a long-term remote employee position for the stability. Yes, I watch all the various employment sites and even individual hospital sites, but I was hoping that maybe, just maybe someone who works for a hospital that does th ...
Has anyone working for an MTSO been downgraded from full-time status to part-time status based on not enough hours worked to be considered full time, yet making well above the minimum amount of earnings required for full-time status?
...
It has been inconvenient, and maybe a bit confusing at times, to check my time card hours for my shift as, because of my time zone, part of my hours show up on the next day because I work 2nd shift. I wonder if I will get overtime for yesterday, even though I did not work overtime. I had to start work several hours early because of maintenance, so all hours were completed before the hour my hours start showing up on the next day. Fine. But the last couple hours of yesterday show up as today, ...
Ever since they have changed Schedule Source and now it has a display called today's activity with "actuals" hours, this has not matched the hours shown with the time clock punches and is less than the hours according to the clock punch. The difference adds up to a significant amount over time. I am really suspicious about being jypped paywise. ...
