I just spoke with my TAA representative and he told me when you apply for UI through TAA, use the Medquist TAW#72153. This is the official, approved number given to our beloved company proving they are getting rid of our American jobs to Indian workers.
The most important paragraph I found in the approved petition was:
"All workers of MedQuist, Inc., Mount Laurel, New Jersey including workers at home sites throughout the United States, who became totally or partially separated from ...
I am a big cardiology buff and would love to do only cardiology transcription. If anyone has knowledge of places that have a lot of cardio accounts, would you be kind enough to point me in their direction. You can e-mail if you don't want to put names in open. I can offer help in return too as able. TIA. ...
Specific regions??? I wish. I am supposed to be West but have reports from California, Oregon, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Virginia, etc. You name it. Hardly ever the same client or dictator. This doesn't make it easy to make line count or any money having to start over with every report. ...
Why, oh why can't all the dictators on one account use the same format????!!!!!
Dozens of doctors on the same account and they all want different styles. Some want headings capped, some do not. Some want bold, some do not. Some want them underlined and some do not. Some want PHYSICAL EXAM, some PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, and then some EXAM. Followinig on down in a note, you can just imagine how many differences there are with each dictator.
These guys ...
Full time is considered 40 hours/5500 lines per week, right?
Is it a mix of straight typing and VR?
Are there a lot of ESL...or about average?
How much per pay period does the single healthcare premium cost? Are the benefits good?
Is there PTO, 401K, etc? Are they very strict about your schedule...or could one work 2 hours outside their schedule either way (and still do 8 hours)?
Do they provide the computer/equipment? Do you have to pay to lease their equipment ...
Very specific:
Low pay, no incentive, extremely stringent time constraints, TIME CLOCK, MedQ does not support the workforce that currently makes their company. Acknowledged that MedQ is busily developing technology to do away with the MT, but in the meantime, need to pay the highly skilled MTs that keep them in business.
Also acknowledged that personally I do not have a problem with a capitalist principle to develop said technology to make seemless VR into the EMR.. But until that ...
This is an orthopedic procedure, total elbow arthroplasty.
Prior to closure, a new (s/l) PIGMAN catheter was placed in the superolateral aspect of the elbow as an inflow, and a medium Hemovac was placed in the distal lateral aspect of the elbow, both seen in the joint. ...
I scratch my head. I have always had a V-pedal and there are ads I come across that say in their 'MUST HAVES' an Infinity pedal is needed. Why? I can't see any reason for this? And of course, "if you don't meet these req's don't apply." Anybody relate? ...
Does anyone know of a company that sells custom covers for split keyboards? I have a Goldtouch I got off of eBay a couple of months ago and I need a cover. Sick of it getting dust bunnies. TIA ...
Are there any companies out there who let you just do your work and do not require you to give them a time or if you leave your computer that they constantly harrass you? ...
20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...
To pus-like or purulent. I was told 30 plus years ago to change it to pus-like, but had never seen anything verifying to do it per account until today. Just made good sense to change it. ...
What would you do if you worked for Nuance and was offered a job to start immediately with another company? Would you have to give 2 weeks' notice and possible lose the job offer? ...
I am looking to buy a new computer and cannot decide between a desktop or a laptop. Which do you prefer and why? I love the idea of not being confined to my desk with the laptop but afraid that it will not "hold up" like a desktop in the long run.
Thanks so much for your replies! ...
Max House or Health PFC KA system for a knee replacement. In case anyone is interested, the QA response was MAX-HEALTH PS TKA system. However, I tried to verify this for myself on google, but I could not. QA must have a better reference library than I do. FYI. ...
Evidently it is an unwritten rule at my company that when you are asked to work hours outside of your shift, or over 40 hours, it is a given that you are to do so with no extra pay. Should I bring it up? Am I the only one?
We all work 40 hours on my account, some nights, and some weekends. Always have. Now the AM is e mailing on the weekend asking us to get on there and get caught up. Extra money is never mentioned - never paid, although if more than 40 hours is on ...
I ran into a former co-worker. She asked what I was doing and I told her I am doing medical transcription from home. She said her daughter is taking an online course in MT but it is slow going. She asked me a few questions about the field. Mainly she wanted to know if there is work out there. I didn't want to be negative so I said yes, there's work out there, even though in my heart I know her daughter is going to have a tough time getting work. At l ...
I asked her if I was supposed to pull work out of the air?? I was so angry!! Are these people clueless or just stupid? I asked her if she thinks I like making no money and why would I show up every day that I am supposed to and do nothing?? I told her that I knew what the company was trying to do and that I Would Not Quit, so they had better find another reason to get rid of me. I asked her if she knew of this website and that the MModal MTs actually "do" talk to each other and we know wha ...
A few weeks ago I stopped in here to tell you all good-bye. I had found a new position doing psychiatric transcription and I was taking the leap. At that time, a few of you asked me if I could tell you where I was going and I didn't feel I could at that point. I have now been with Saince, Inc and I can tell you without a doubt I made the right choice for me. The training was actually "hands-on." The trainer explained and showed us how to do something and then he turned his computer ove ...
How did this go ... did your TSM take it personally or is it strictly business? My BOB is constantly, constantly out of work. If I stay put in this BOB I will go under, but I also don't want to target myself or get in the radar as being disloyal or a "ship-jumper". Can anyone share their experience with this, and how the conversation went down with their TSM? ...
