Strangest thing..Keystrokes

I have recently completed the form on MTstars under the job wanted board but did not upload my resume, thankfully. Yesterday morning I received an email from somone named "Sandie" stating that she was about to start testing for an upcoming acute care account, that she was very busy and did not want to waste either of our time, but if I was interested in testing to email her and she would send me benefit information and 2 voice files to transcribe. I immediately replied to her and hav ...

Just one more thought. I have never, ever, known anyone who has left Medquist or Spheris and regretted it. They may bounce back and forth just to get by, but in the long run, when they are finally finished, they are finished. For all of those MTs who don't want to start over, please don't take that attitude. I did and it only got worse and when I did change it wasn't that bad at all. Again, could it get any worse? ...

Not that I'm not glad it was an increase rather than a pay cut, but I think for a lot of us this "raise" is going to just even us out for when he start getting docked pay April 1. Funny that this "raise" is starting April 1, isn't it? ...

Now I know I did the right thing in not only leaving the Q but leaving the field altogether. I had another physical last week and my blood pressure was back down to 120/70, and my doctor was very happy when he learned I had quit. They wasted no time in sending me labels to ship the computer back, though. Oh well.. they don't want the monitor, or mouse, or keyboard, so I'm keeping those! ...

In half the report the doc says L5-S1, the other half he says L5 on S1. Is this the same thing? ...

I clicked on each of the highlighted areas in the e-mail, but where do you go to set this up? I must be needing more coffee or something. I just dont get it. Read it 3 times now. ...

If this dictator says, "peeeeeeeeeeeeriod" one more flippin time, I am going to scream as loud as I possibly can and then punch the daylights out of this monitor! ...

Urine welkenton? Not sure of spelling, since I'm not sure it's really a word. They could also be saying welkington. That's what the dictation sounds like and I've listened to it several times on numerous days. Can't find a reference to it anywhere and I've tried many variations. Wondering if it's a really old term or if I'm completely misunderstanding. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ...

I do believe now that they are starting to target those of us who were making 10/6. In the past, on my old accounts, I was audited no more than once a month. If I failed an occasional audit, they would wait another month to see how I did on that one and since I always passed, no action was taken. There was also no action after I took more than the allowable time off. Then, at the beginning of November, I was moved to another BOB. After being on the account for less ...

I just can't stick it out 2 weeks :( Every job I type just stresses me out more and more. I am to the point that I don't care if I get my 20 hours PTO I have built up. I am emailing back and forth with my TSM right now and it sounds like she is reading off a script! "Take each report as they come and try to do your best to prevent errors" No $%^& lady!! Does she think we don't know that????? ARRRGGH I am so beyond frustrate ...

Just had a doctor dictate "potassium 40 mg," (should have been mEq) and then further down, "Levemir 40 mg" (should have been units). If I had not left blanks for them, that would have been 6 points off. It also compelled me to use my allotment of blanks for that report! But they, of course, do not get penalized for their mistakes. On the other hand, our pay is docked. There is a double standard here that needs to be changed. ...

The sentence is ... The ---- was normal to slightly below average. It sounds like wetzler...i did research but I can't find the correct way to spell it.. ...

The university down the street will be offering an undergraduate degree in Arabic. It is one of only 3 offer in this country. Now THAT ought to be useful. Sometimes, if you already have an undergraduate degree, they let you skip the basics and finish in 2 yrs. I would certainly consider that, especially since there appears to be no end in sight to our troubles with Arab-speaking countries. ...

and right at the LAST MINUTE, ONE job comes in. You type it and then have to sit for another 15 minutes. Rinse, repeat. ...

Are there companies that pay to do QA hourly? If so where are they and who? I do QA now and work 15 hours a day for less than $100 ...

that I have had in a dictation, and I am sure that the dictator (PA-C) is annoyed as well. It's always annoying when she chitty-chats with the "girls in the office" while dictating, but in this dictation, one of the girls is mocking back everything the dictator says and continues to do so, after a little chuckle from dictator each time, to the point where the dictator finally has to tell her that this is important, it is for an attorney and she cannot mess it up. ...

Gross Lines? Net Lines? What exactly does that mean. Should net lines be more? If I really average what they say I do, I should be making 27/hour??? I times the net lines by my rate = 27. Well, that is for SURE not the case. I only wish. And what difference does it make whether we use the mouse or not IF that is the most efficient way? Will their ridiculousness never cease to amaze me? ...

I've heard of 4+/5, and he just used that for strength in the upper extremity, but then he said 4++/5 strength of the lower extremity. Is there such a thing as ++ or do you think he just accidentally said it twice. I'm not finding anything anywhere. Thx. mt ...

What exactly is the difference, if any? Is this a transcription-based platform or a voice-recognition type? Company only states cs.net as platform. ...

just wonderin, cuz this board is the only place i've heard of it. is it in email or MQ central or what? ...

ALLERGIES: PERCOCET AND VICODIN 3. Possibly Tylenol No. 3 ? Just leave 'as is' and flag? ...

I cant do this much longer...So sick of this, last time I emailed the QA lead about a month ago I go no response on clarification.. ...

This post applies only to those MTSOs perpetrating abuses. If you are employed by an honest hospital, MTSO, etc., this message is not directed at you. We all want your employers to succeed and thrive! "The indignity of working for a living is well-known to anyone who ever has. With only a small portion of the product's value finding its way into our wages, we have every right to be pissed off at our bosses." Unknown We MTs know a ...

Stand up for yourself and exert your individual power and you will find there absolutely can be MT jobs with, "YEARLY EVALUATIONS (yes!)...RAISES (double yes!)...PROMOTIONAL OPPORTUNITIES (I can't believe it!)...absolutely stunning, you don't realize how brainwashed you are, how hammered you are, till you GET OUT." The foregoing is a quote from the person who posts as wheres_my_job. S/he is right on about the brainwashed part. We have the power and just don't realize it an ...

If you honestly do value your MTs, instead of falling all over yourselves with "thank you for all you do" and telling us how integral we are in the EHR field, the knowledge and accuracy we must possess, etc., ad nauseaum, please, at the very least, reinstate our WMX pay or, ideally, give us back our pay plus a cost of living stipend comparable to most other large and humane megacorporations. Could YOU support yourselves on our pay? Try our job for one pay period. Could you afford your rent/ ...

Okay, I'm sure this is just a telemarketing coincidence of some sort, even though I'm also on the do-not-call list; however, last night I arrived home to find a message from JP Morgan (so said my caller ID anyway) something about some important information, and to please call them back at a number they left and refer to number "tree, tree, tree" something or other. The person is such a heavy (female) ESL that I can barely decipher ANYTHING being said. Sure, I'm gonna g ...

My mind can wander and zone out because it's like listening to somebody read you the same story all day long! When I actually had to think while typing--how to minimize my keystrokes for maximum output--it kept me more alert and "tuned in." ...

I want a $50 gift card. I have never gotten this although I consistently have 99 to 100% accuracy and do double the average for production. What does it take to get this stupid gift card? ...
