Question for non-MQ People

I have been at home working full time for about a year. I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other. I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills. Do others have this same problem? It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others. This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...

We have helper pools for a reason! Sounds like some TSMs need to get to work. ...

I'm curious. Any MTs willing to discuss how they like Escription and are working for MDI-MD/Transcend? ...

I usually come to this forum for good, solid, BRUTALLY HONEST opinon and help. I have seen this field deteriorate over the years and got to wondering if the suits at MQ have any idea how long some of us have done this work and how poorly they are treating highly qualified, experiences MTs. I am very curious to see how many years of experience we have. I personally have 28 years experience and for the past 3 years have not brought in more than 20K. When I used ...

I know this is a little thing, but after 2 years it is a little annoying. Why do you ask MTs to look up physician names and addresses that are not in the database and to send to QA? You NEVER enter them into the system, not once. I have kept a list of physician names and addresses that we frequently use that are not in the database. I send them to QA every time, requesting that they be entered. I wonder what your response would be if we sent it blank? Just a l ...

Okay, four years of doing transcription and it's been four years of people calling all day to chat, wanting me to go do this and that, etc. I've tried over and over to explain to them to not drop by because I'm WORKING! Have any of you had to get down right rude to make people understand? Husband also doesn't seem to get it since he mentions "you're at home all day." Ugh. ...

without somebody jumping on you or making fun of you or being spelling police or telling you that's the way business operates so suck it up or go somewhere else. All that hate can't be good for you, but Flame Away!! ...

typing as there are jobs to be picked up on my account, and we are told via email to work on shortest TAT. Good grief. The account will be clear in 5 minutes anyway. Management is a bit irritating sometimes. ...

It's crazy to me that people do not even know what medical transcriptionists do most of the time. When people ask me what I do and I tell them transcription, it never fails that they say "What is that?" I tell them that I type what the doctor says and they say, "What does he say?" It's crazy that nobody ever wonders how when they ask for medical records they get neatly typed pages from their doc instead of handwritten chicken scratch. Even when I do explain it, ...

Has anyone ever been laid off or do they just expect their employees to quit? No steady work here in our BOB since October, worse since Christmas. Even today when work started picking up I still ended up 3 hours short. I have asked for a transfer and have been denied. I was told to make up my hours on Saturdays, but last week I was short 20 hours. That makes for one long Saturday especially when there was no work on Saturday. So I filed for part ...

I'm just curious if any of the DSG victims who were bought out by MM are still with MM. I had quit MM (MQ at the time) years earlier to go with DSG, only to get slammed back into MQ/MM when they bought out DSG. I quit MM after 8 months of the buy-out. It was my goal from day one of the buy-out and I finally succeeded in getting out of MT completely. ...

will be in there working, and that can mean only one thing. This whole thing is about to MPlode. ...

Ooops, I accidentally posted this under a reply to something else, so here goes again. Any ex-DSG people here? After 15 years, I finally had left MQ to go to DSG, then got thrown back into MQ/MM 2 years later when they bought out DSGs medical transcription department. I left MT completely after that fiasco. I trusted no company after that mess and decided leaving MT was the smartest thing to do. Just wondering if any of you Ex-DSGers are still working for MM, and if not, what are you doing ...

I have a TSM, who I never hear from. Wonder what she does? I have a QA lead that I hear from when I screw up, then there is another one that does quality updates, what the is that anyway and why do I care? And then there is the one that sends out daily backlogs that also mean NOTHING to me in the grand scheme of life. Seems maybe we could trim the fat if we held maybe 2 people accountable to do their stinking jobs instead of 4. Not to mention the ones in the even higher positions that I ha ...

If anyone who works for TTS can help me, I would appreciate it. I've been there 3 weeks and I am actually happy working there. But .... I am super paranoid about sticking to 8 hours per day because I was warned that OT is not allowed unless expressly offered and only after I am off the orientation team and on the production team. So I am being really careful about my active platform time but I wonder if I'm being TOO careful. I mean if I end up working 8 hours 10 minutes instead ...

Kidney disease is stage 1, 2, etc. Roman numerals are no longer used..yet every report I check on this person in docqumanage has roman numerals. ...

Has anyone ever thought of contacting the national media to let the nation as a whole know where their medical records are going and who is doing them and that fact that people have died because of wrong medications, etc.? I thing most Americans would be surprised and pissed to find out that their private medical information is ending up in India. They might not care as much about our wages and what is happening to our jobs, but I think they would care about where their personal info ...

that Nuance rarely gives raises but if I was to ask for a raise who do I contact HR or my TSM? Thanks! ...

How do we know when we can go in and make up lost time if our TSM is off duty? Is this the function of the POC positions and if so how do we contact them? they on Spark? TIA ...

ESL+ASR=THIS ---- <insert primal scream> He asked his wife which that his wife spray as cord friend and that she said that he does not have more through the does not he does not snore and he stated that he he is not having mouth breathing. ...

which is no big deal, except that they can't seem to give me as much work as I want. Same office going off and hiring more people and yet I've repeatedly asked for more work. I've been trained on FOUR accounts, and then as each one peters out, they pull me off and put me on another one, and the cycle repeats. Not only am I getting sick and tired of constantly training on a new hospital, but I'm getting sick and tired of constantly getting no jobs av ...

getting the same paycut for NO benefits (other than 401K) as FT people are for the full gamut of benefits? That doesn't seem quite fair to me. I understand the cut for FT with benefits, just not for PT withOUT benefits. What exactly is the PT paycut FOR? ...

Why has everyone gotten so rude. You apply for jobs and you can sense the "Tude" through the E-mails - if they are kind enough to send you one! 35+ years experience and they act like you are just off the boat to Transcription Land. Counting the days until I can retire. Love the websites that say you can make $60 K a year too - now that is really rude! ...

Some, not all, QA people need to realize our frustrations are just as great as theirs. That's why the report is sent to QA in the first place!! I realize they may tell the same MTs the same things over and over again, but they should keep in mind that is not always the case, and people do have feelings and manners. Some QA people develop such attitudes that they really should consider another line of business. If you send me e mails that are so generalized that ...

I have been trying to use the swapboard to flex my schedule around and seems like nobody is using it but a couple of people. I am a Tier III. I am just writing this to see if more people can use this and would like to know why no one is using it to move their schedules around instead of missing or using PTO or making up time which makes you feel like you are working every day of your life. Please your thoughts? ...

A 7-year-old boy was murdered by the Taliban in an apparent act of retribution this week. Afghan officials said that the child was accused of spying for U.S. and NATO forces and hanged from a tree in southern Afghanistan. Daoud Ahmadi, the spokesman for the provincial governor of Helmand, said that the killing happened days after the boy's grandfather, Abdul Woodod Alokozai, spoke out against militants in their home village. Ahmadi said: "His grandfather is a tribal elder in the village a ...
