Getting ready to retire

I have this doctor I've been working with for a few years through a company, who is very old. He frequently loses his place while dictating and often doesn't make sense. Today has been bad already. One report he dictated 3 sentences that did not make sense, nor was it clear what he was really trying to say. Another report he dictated the exam, paused, started to dictate exam and then realized he already did, started with the impression, dictated #1, t ...

I have been cut back on my hours at my current job, after being rehired full time 3 months ago (grrrrrrrr!!!!). The hospital and doctors office I work for currently switched from cassettes to VR, and the workload has dropped dramatically, and with them hiring trauma surgeons only, with no hope of more work, it has hastened me to make a decision to retire from transcription completely after 27 years. I started my own travel agency after graduating fro ...

Has anyone quit and been able to collect unemployment? I am just about ready to call it a day, good-by, farewell. ...

Getting ready to begin testing for a part-time position I REALLY need...Wish me luck! Ready, set....GO!!! ...

My clinic that I type for just started MTs on editing. I have lost almost $200 in pay on just 1 check until I can somehow double my over 1200 lines I already type a day! Sorry, I just needed to vent before I just bust out crying. ...

I'm just scared to death of jumping from the frying pain into the fire. I know there have to be better companies out there. I work on 15+ accounts, make no money to speak of, my boss makes me feel guilty if I want 2 hours off, forgets to send me e-mails that she sends everyone else, changed my PTO after it was already approved, and I could go on. Today may be notice day after 12 years with this company. ...

http://the99spring.com/ How exactly will you differentiate between staff who are legitimately sick and those who are not? I can't wait for all the EEOC, wage, unemployment, etc., claims to start as well as the legal jeopardy that your company can and will face in the event of unlawful termination. The legal clinics will be very busy. You would be very surprised at the resources that exist for the poor. They just don't know about them. Yet that is. Oh what an ...

I have done this for years now but have just almost reached the end of what I can take. I have fought retiring, wanted to continue on but I feel the work is just not worth the hassel anymore. We are held to an almost impossible level now, just us, not what kind of dictation is sent our way. Nothing is said to ask others to clean up their dictation to where it is halfway audible but let us have 1 word left off that is not even meaning to the context of the report and we are called on the carpet f ...

Been doing MT & QA for 30 years, since I was in high school! Boy, how things have changed. My kids are grown and in college now, one in Medical School studying to be a doctor, and I think, I am ready now to go out into the rat rate of 9-5 out of the home! Thinking, administrative assistant, type of position. My wrists and hands hurt, CTS, and can't get it fixed because I can't be without pay for 6 weeks waiting to heal, etc. etc. etc. It was a fantastic career, all-in ...

I've got over 16 years of experience with both acute care and multispecialty clinic. I'm tired of being insulted by being offered line rates that I would have starved on 10+ years ago. I'm very interested in pursuing a QA position. For those of you who have done or are doing QA, how did you know when you were qualified to handle it? I would appreciate any information or tips you would be willing to share. Thanks! ...

Ok, so we DO NOT get paid for reading through our QA feedback, we are getting our line counts cut, and we do not get paid for looking up old reports to cut down on QA? Something tells me the wind is shfiting and it is ain't smelling too ripe. Batten down the hatches ladies and gents, thar she BLOWS!!!! ...

I have heard this before and I don't think the correct spelling is ready, any ideas would be appreciated. ...

Okay, the Q lost my account of 13 years, put me on new local account, just went live. All I am hearing is how unhappy the new client is and is in jeopardy, this after about 3 weeks. All I am hearing is we are sending too many blanks, need to check old reports (excuse me, after 3 weeks not many of those), reports must be perfect. Next to no client profile to go on. QA person is trying like crazy to load repository, don't blame her at all. But the dictators are n ...

You will be "offered" lots and lots of OT every day, and asked to mail in your committments for every weekend. It is not "mandatory", but if you do not do it, you will be written by your SM asking you to. Same thing. So tiring, day in and day out. Guess I am not a "team player" because I feel I was hired to work 40 hours and any time after that is "My Life Time." ...

At this point I'd make more money waiting tables even though I'm older. It's crazy. With the VR I'm working double the hours for half the pay. Not to mention there are 3 new QA's on my accounts and each want things done differently. I'm so fed up. This is all I know but figure if an old dog can learn new tricks........... ...

Well it's that time!!! Next Tuesday is my last day at work (the hospital I work for goes live with MModal). There are 12 remote transcriptionists at our hospital and only one accepted a position with MModal. So, whoever works in possibly the North region you all will be getting lots of work soon. None of us are doing very much to get the work caught up. It's kind of bittersweet but since we were officially outsourced and signed our paperwork, none of ...

other than the annoying graph? ...

I am asking this simply because I pay ZERO attention to emails the company sends out, I have sat here and simply done my job and kiss their tails because I needed the job..So now that I don't here is the question I have..Do I: 1. Start voicing my opinion as to their asinine audits and 99.7% accuracy garbage simply in response to the QC lead that sends them out or maybe cc some of the suits? Anyone have some names for me to send responses to. And then sit back and wait to be fired fo ...

I've been an MT for a little over 6 years now, and I loved it up until a few months ago. I was making good money and enjoyed the account I was on. In June, the company I work for switched my accounts (after being on the one for 4-1/2 years). Now I'm making signifcantly less money and having to put in double the work. I can't even pay the bills anymore. I have decided to go back to college and get my health information technician degree, because it seems like transcription just isn ...

The patient is to go to Radiology and receives 2 bottles of _____________ on the Friday prior to the CT scan (of abdomen and pelvis) S/L radycad or readycad or something like that. Anyone know? ...

I have been dealing with a payment problem for over 2 weeks. I had 2 phone #s with them, one personal and 1 for my dictation machine. Went with Comcast for the personal # and canceled that account with Verizon. Sent me a bill. I paid 2/3/11. On 3/10, they sent me a refund check for $34 stating I did not owe it. Cashed check. Next day, i get a letter from a collection agency. In the meantime, Verizon had credited my other phone # with the $34 amount, so now I did owe $34 on the old #. I ca ...

It sounds as if the dictator is saying "necrotic syndrome" however, everything popping up in search is nephrotic syndrome.....this is going all the way through the report...I have slowed the dictator down and listened carefully and she continues to sound as if she is saying necrotic...is the such a syndrome? thank you in advance for any help. ...

I picture them coming to take my things away...the antique hutch, the old piano, the Christmas tree (if it happens before the last of January), etc. I picture myself in the welfare hotel with all the others, trying to stay above the fray and weed out the figurative and literal noise, an inevitable occurrence in a place like that... perhaps then I'll finally laugh again, for fearing the worst may be actually worse than the actual. ...

Allow me to introduce myself! I am one of those very PROUD 13 women. I am also very proud of the fact that I see so many others here who are willing to stand up and join us in this. When I read over the very FEW posts from those who say we can't cut it, we are lazy, etc... I laugh. Yes, you heard that right! I laugh! In their ignorance, they make untrue statements about me as they do not know me or my work ethic or my education level o ...

I've been at Mmodal for many years, part-time, no real complaints until now. I know a lot of people get transferred to new CCMs quite often and I have as well but this time I went to a very hard account. I'm willing to learn it but then one day after that transfer I was sent back to my original CCM but that account was made my primary instead of my previous ones. I keep getting those emails about increasing line count, decreasing inactive time, going "mouseless" and I ...

They put more emphasis on account specs than on patient care ...

Please approve timecards now. Don't forget to approve timecards. Timecards need to be approved ASAP. The fall of humanity is imminant. Please approve timecards immediately. FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT HIS HOLY, APPROVE TIMECARDS RIGHT THIS INSTANT BEFORE WE ALL PERISH AS A RESULT OF YOUR NOT APPROVING YOUR TIMECARDS!!!!!!!! ...
