I just want honest answers and respect

I've read so many messages from people who are working in jobs which they have said they are working long hours and barely making minimum wage.If that's the case, then why do you continue working from home? Why not get an office job where you'll make more and actually have benefits? ...

For the last couple of weeks, I've been sending out resumes and also frequently checking job sites such as indeed.com and simplyhired.com. So much of what's out there is really looking for recent experience, although it's not actually stated in the ad. Okay, that's the story, now here's the question ... If so many are unhappy doing MT, most importantly because of the lousy pay, why not work at temporary jobs? The pay has to be much better than what you're current ...

I am new to VR and was wondering something.....How many of you actually go through and listen to the whole report and how many of you fix the errors you see, sign it off and go on? I am just looking at the high lines counts that you guys are getting per hour and am wondering if some of you are not listening to the whole report as that may take more time? I know that doesn't sound good, but just looking for honest answers here. Also, advice on how to get such high line counts wo ...

It is amazing that more people are not committing suicide. I guess that goes to the underlying optimism that human beings are inherently born with. We always think there is good in all people and that we will be protected from evil. But, what happened to an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay? Every day there are posts about people working hard for their paltry wages, only to be paid late or not paid at all. We cannot even apply for a job ...

because they see us all as insignifcant females, just a bunch of housewives trying to make a little extra pocket money and not career-minded professionals. Hence, the low pay and poor treatment. I've been with MM for a few years now since they bought my company, and I can't believe how horribly this company treats its employees. It is because they see us as insignificant little worker ants who exist only to serve them. This is never going to improve because MT has tur ...

I have a really hard time respecting some of these dictators when they say things like "no congenial abnormalities" meaning congenital. And stumbling around before finally spelling words that a 4th grader could pronounce. When I go to the doctor, living very rural, oftentimes it will be the NPs or PAs who examine you and render a diagnosis. I realize there are good ones and bad ones, but if the threshold for getting their degrees is so low that they can regularly make these di ...

If any of you knew me in person you would know it is not in my nature to whine. But I am going to DO SO HERE... My wife is the MT in our family not me. Last Thursday the laptop she uses for work died. It was an old AcerVista laptop. So what is a person who makes a living on a computer do when the one he or she uses dies?? Common sense is you go get a new one right?? These companys you folks work for could not be more firmly entrenched in the tech world. Do these people realize just how d ...

MTSO companies. Being a long-time loyal employee/IC means nothing to most MTSO's. I've worked for the same company for around 4 years, through ups and downs, feasts and famines, and the minute it gets a little busy, they hurry up and hire more MTs. That proves to me that all they care about is making money for themselves and is just a slap in the face of the MT. Maybe if you must hire new MTs for busy times, how about giving work first to your long-time MTs when ...

Just had the most demoralizing experience of my 20 year medical transcriptionist career with this company. QA score of 99.4% and got "let go" because I wasn't doing a good enough job, and my line counts were just getting up to the required range. I am seriously considering changing careers because of this. Just wanted to find out if this is just me or are there others out there that had the same experience with this company? Are there any companies out there that treat their MTs with respec ...

I know Andrews is the school recommended for MT training, but is it equally recommended for coding school? I'm looking into community colleges, etc., but wanted to check into online schools as well. Do hospitals respect Andrews as much as they would a community college degree for coding? ...

No one "leads" anymore, they just direct traffic. I can remember when the "leaders" used to help their employees so they could get a better line count, get through the hard dictators, or just do whatever was in their power to be encouraging. Now it seems they just use their positions to grab the good jobs that have good dictators or normal dictations like the ops, collect their pay and act like you are a total burden if you need help. I can assure you it is not encouragin ...

What companies use DocQscribe or Bayscribe? I am open to employee position or IC, but I need a different company. Prefer straight transcription to VR. Many years experience. Thank you for any help. ...

So I asked my HDSM a host of questions, which I put on here in a response to someone sometime yesterday, and it seems she's as in the dark as the rest of us are. Here's a synopsis of the answers to my quetstions, since obviously I can't include the email. Recognized and accredited program? Accreditation after training? CCS, CCS-P, RHIT, RHIA? Not sure about this. Available to SHDAs also? Available to any production employees. Guarant ...

To those with questions regarding working for Precyse I can answer you. Don't do it. We were just informed that we now MUST make at least 260 LPH (previously was 240) OR ELSE. That's for ASR. The straight typing minimum line rate has gone up also---and those are few and far between plus usually only the very worst reports come in as regular transcription. The sound quality is terrible. A lot of the jobs go to India. You only get credited f ...

1. Inferior vena cava (IVC) filter – A Greenfield filter is an example of an IVC filter as is a Christmas tree filter, and there are other kinds. They function as a sort of net to catch any emboli to prevent them from hitting the heart or lungs. 2. If a patient has cardiac/vascular disease, there is a good chance that another will crop up, so if you have CAD (coronary artery disease) you could certainly have PAD (peripheral vascular disease), but ...

When Dr. dictates a sentence in the middle of a paragraph that goes like this: Eyes normal vision. Cardiac no carotid bruits. Cardiac regular rate and rhthym. Ears normal hearing. Do you just add a colon after the first word? Sometimes that looks odd, so I am not always sure what to do. Any ideas/help appreciated, tia. ...

I am not sure if tihis is the right place to post this, but I used to ask questions there all the time. Now just recently I went on there and could not believe all the profanity and inappropriate subjects they let people post there. It is really awful and I am shocked to see some things that are passed up for censoring. People call each other jerks and bigoted racists all the time. I am wondering where are their moderators and why is no one doing anything to stop thi ...

Everytime I do a search, it comes back with a lot of responses that date back to a few years ago. I'm looking for newer responses and do not want to weed throught the old ones to find the new ones. How can I do this? Thank you in advance to anyone who answers. ...

Since I made my lines hours ago lol, and I'm messing around trying to let someone else make their lines, I've been roaming around, reading back posts. And I swear to you all I'm not trying to cause trouble, start drama or pick fights, I just have a very serious question. For the MTs who are "struggling" or not making it, etc and to all the MTs who are sure it's a "dying field" or it's "already dead". What keeps you in the MT field? I know jobs are real ...

http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1441567/000119312512293940/d376248dex994.htm Wish I had an incentive working for this company. Oh, wait, I am on the bottom of the totem pole. ...

No, I am not a "suit." ...

How do you guys like working for Nuance? Do they offer flexibility with schedules? Thank you for any information you can provide :) ...

. . . some of this Nuance work is just god-awful; and yet they wonder why it's out of TAT even when they offer extra hours? Really? The quality of this dictation is so bad that no one wants to do it . . . at least not willingly. One dictator even whispers his dictation no one will suspect that he hasn't yet mastered English. I suppose if we cannot hear him then the MT can be blamed. UGH. Horrible.I think anything would be better than this job, e ...

Hello. I looked through the archives but couldn't find the answers I was looking for. I read the post for Phoenix medcom. I am very interested in doing front office stuff while doing transcription. Does anyone do that? How does the pay work out? I would think it would supplement the transcription income. I just put in an app and was wondering what other people have experienced. Thank you! ...

Long story short, I had an accident and lost all but 3 fingers. I had 15 years experience as an MT before that and have been trying to enhance my typing skills so I can get back into it. Is there anything someone could suggest to help me? I really need my jobs back am really lacking the speed with my limited fingers. ...

Tomorrow is my last day at Medquist. In order to work my shift today and tomorrow I have to take a 45-minute HIPAA on-line training in order to be able to log into DQS. I asked if I could be reinstated on DQS through tomorrow evening but apparently that is not an option. I should just do the training but somehow the inflexibility is irritating to me. ...

I have a part-time IC job, because I recently lost my employee job that I have. I haven't been able to find another job and was considering trying Nuance and was wondering if really anyone really enjoys it there. I hear LOTS of negativity, but can you please tell me specifically what it is about. I don't mind running out of work, because as I said I have my part-time IC job. I would really like to make maybe $250-300 per week, is that hard to do there? Thanks ...

Every morning starts with a FIESA Email of some ridiculous mistake like: MEDICATIONS: (Oh my God, you left off "Include") 1. Blah 2. Blah 3. Half the medications are wrong, numbers are wrong, etc. Then if you contest it, they say you were endangering the patient. (Really, leaving off the word "includes" is endangering the patient?) ANYWAY, IF THEY WERE TRULY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE PATIENT'S LIVES THEY WOULD NOT LEAVE IT IN THE HANDS OF A HORRID, INCAPABLE, PIECE OF ...

Is 50 too old to start nursing school (RN)? I know it is not supposed to happen, but will my age prevent me from getting a job besides in a nursing home? I keep going back and forth between RN and MA because of this. Or maybe just CNA at this point. Does anyone have any experience or know anyone who went through this? Thanks! ...

I just want honest answers and respect - worndown

that will fall on deaf ears - sad but true

You cant ask question once, twice, few times. Must ask it - until you get an answer SM
