Ever forget how much transcriptionists really know?? sm

Forget it! I beyond ....... Not sure what I am going to do for the next 6 months. Just want to finish school and get out of this profession. ...

How long do you think I can get away with "forgetting" to do the 6.1 upgrade? haha! I've taken the video classes and have the codes, but I've been reading so many horrible things that I don't want to use it until the weekend, when I have time to "play" with it. What do you think? ...

Glad you all are doing great in your jobs and have work. ...

March 19th at 12:00 pm Eastern, we will hold our first MT "All Hands" Webcast. Question: What is the BOOST initiative? ...

Since our TSM hasn't (doesn't ever) reminded us, thought I would ...

This job has served me well for the purpose I intended. I was able to stay home with my kids while they were growing up and supplement the household income. Now, after being with this company since 1994, I don't want to tier up or become an MME. I just want to do my job and then forget about it. I am at the point now where I really want to retire as we don't need a supplemental income any longer. I see all these new "opportunities" at MM and I just don't care to ...

Thanks in advance!!! ...

And tell the truth to unsuspecting MTs, consider it a public service to help people avoid bankruptcy and nervous breakdowns! I mean, really, don't you wish you had known the truth? ...

10 years ago today, I was sitting at my desk working as usual. I get a phone call from my boyfriend (2nd in command of PD here in LV) frantically asking me if I'm okay. I'm like what? I'm working why wouldn't I be? He asked I if had heard anything, to which I again said no, I am working. He told me to turn on the TV. I did and was absolutely HORRIFIED! That conversation, that moment, that realization of what had happened completely ch ...

Can anyone help me? I'd rather not call my abbreviation and definitely don't want to call tech support. Much appreciated and Happy New Year to all! ...

I know I saw a post when the Swap Board first came back as to why it was stopped the first time. I cannot find it now. We have message that it is not working the way they wanted it to work. Imagine that. ...

Hey, MQ, Oh I love FRT this week, but after April 2, 2010 all bets are off baby!!!!! I love FTR. I love it. No really. I do. I like it because, um, it is like a bright shiny star in the sky. Or, um, maybe, I like it because it rolls like a bowling ball!! Yeah!! That's the ticket! Rollin along with FTR, like a bowling ball, like a pool ball, like the big blue ball that is earth, like the round ball classic, like the wheels on an 1 ...

Exactly how many days do they get? ...

I have to admit, I wasn't familiar with what "Ambulatory" transcription would entail, so I went searching on the internet and came across this PDF. It is a stark reminder that Nuance is not a transcription company. They are a technology company, a speech recognition company, and we are all test subjects to make their speech engine better (through the thousands of doctors dictating and all of our editing). They don't want to use transcriptionsits to do their work. They wan ...

Last time I forgot and lost a really long report. Pacific Time 11 pm, in 10 minutes! ...

make a living being an MT? In addition to how low our pay has gotten, and the myriad other problems that we all deal with, if you can't focus, do you think that is cutting into your finances as well? I've always had a suspicion that I have ADD. Was a totally hyper kid. Daydreamer in school. High IQ (148), labelled as "gifted" in 1st Grade, yet with each passing year did less and less well in school. Looked out the window and zoned out more than I paid att ...

M*Modal will call the shots. No doubt they'll start jacking up prices to the clients then. That's the way it usually works. Should only take a few more years. Save a bit now, spend a lot more down the road. Lol. Shortsighted fools. ...

I am curious what the thoughts are about this. Will is be mandatory in a few years that all doctors offices go to EMR? Will this be the end of the medical transcriptionist or is there something we can do now to prepare for the change and still be in this field? ...

If there are any MT's in the Shreveport/Bossier City, Louisiana area on this board, there are a few local employment agencies, in particular Jean Simpson and Career Adventures that are looking for transcriptionists for positions at physician's offices. I recently got an in-house position and just want to pass along the news to anyone in this area that may be looking for a position. ...

I wouIld like to know what your opinion is on M-modal. Do you like it or not? Is it helpful to you? Are you being nit-picked to death about it? ...

Go to this website. Transcriptionists will no longer be needed in the future for transcribing or editing. One of my friends told me the hospital she retired from is going to this system and their transcription department will eventually no longer exist. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KGMEf11GmBo ...

I am now down to 3 companies (from 4) trying to make a living at this, wondering what I should do next. I'd like to go get my coding diploma and move on from there as I cannot take this anymore. Four jobs and between all of them I got $700 last week and am still waiting for checks to arrive. I asked one of them why it wasn't DD and they said they would cut and mail the check. Lord knows when the other one will arrive. I don't know, don't YOU ...

How can they possibly get paid less than us? We get paid peanuts and if it is so lucrative for this company to send stuff offshore just wondering what they pay the indian transcriptionists? ...

I work in the path department and when a malignant case comes up that requires a CAP, I defer to the CAP summary. The docs dictate "lymphovascular . . ." but the CAP summaries will have "lymph-vascular . . ." The problem is today I was checking the CAP protocol for the Lung CA and the word was used both ways. In the actual protocol itself, there was the hyphenated version as a header, i.e., but then in the explanatory notes at the end of the protocol there' ...

Ok, I am just venting some frustration here Wanted: Experienced medical transcriptionist, VR experience. Just for the privilege of doing transcription for us we will only charge you 3 cpl.
