Oh, BROTHER! AHDI's email about ACE 2013 - sm

Posted: Apr 05, 2013

AHDI is encouraging me to seek financial support from my employer so I can go to the annual convention this year. Is this email a joke? I can't even make a living wage from my employer so I can eat and pay the bills. What's wrong with these people???

They know this - OHMT

That's why they're giving instructions on how to beg your employer for money to go to the convention... because they KNOW you aren't making enough to foot the bill yourself!

OHMT - Not a fan

These people will stop at nothing. I would not attend anything sponsored by AHDI even if it were free.

What's wrong with these people - CJ

Write today's date on your calender. A year from today see of AHDI still exists. I'm serious.

Sure they will. They're in collusion with the offshorers now. - sm

That's why they got rid of "American" in their title.

They have always been in collusion - xx

First they got in bed with MedQuist and it was all downhill from there.

True dat. But there wasn't originally that much to actually be in collusion with, - so not as pertinent previously.

How they got their sticky hands involved in the MedQuist class action and shafted us all (I was a member of the suit) is enough evidence right there that AHDI is a self-serving pestilence that is not about to go extinct anytime soon ... like cockroaches.

Where's the convention? - Bangalore? NM

AHDI - OHMT = NOT EVEN TRANSCRIBERS - MOTODD

[ In Reply To ..]
THEIR "LEADERSHIP" ARE NOT ONLY NOT "CERTIFIED" OR EVEN EXPERIENCED--BUT ARE THOSE ANCIENT "MEDICAL SECRETARIES" WHO ALWAYS JUST HANG AROUND MT'S TO CLAIM MANAGEMENT CONTROL--BECAUSE THEY BELIEVE MEDICAL TRANSCRIBING TO BE SECONDARY TO, AND BELOW-ON-THE-TOTEM-POLE, TO THE OBSOLETE MEDICAL SECRETARY "PROFESSION."

LOL. Hit the nail on the head... - 2bz2sleep

Thanks for the laugh. So true.

OK, break over. Back to work

MQ has taken our merit increases, pay raises that we all should get every year (mine was 10 years ago), our bonuses, and our pay cut in half to be able to buy Spheris so the bigwigs can have more money in their pockets. Oh brother. Makes me sick and here I am sitting here out of work. ...

Transcend is getting worse at least in my area. They seem to try to cut costs on our payment but hire more TL and assistants so we can be watched every minute. Every little thing is cause for a possible written reprimand and if you are off for a bit they are on you like glue. ...

Been here for long time. Maybe they are trying to get rid of me. Don't know why. Continuously checking my work would be one reason to think so, but why after all these years is my question. Maybe feel the urge to pick on me, pettiness?? Hopefully I will be long gone soon and will be just dust in the wind :) ...

I just listened to the recording and now i'm wondering how is my pay going to be determined. See my account holds clinic and acute care mixed all together. So which rate will I be paid and why is it that nobody can answer this question w/in the company that I have asked thus far. I also love that in the beginning of the recording on the presentation is states that we will be compensated for ALL time spent typing and editing to include research, proofing and demographics. ...

I was at MModal's website and saw that the AIHMA convention is actually going to be in Atlanta next week. I live in Atlanta and was wondering if anyone has ever been to one of these conventions? It looks like it mostly pertains to coding and upper management, but several companies are going to have booths there. They have a 1-day hall expo pass for $75. I'm just wondering if it might be worth my while to go. I thought it might be worthwhile just to get a ...

Is Word 2013 backwards compatible with Word 97-2003? I am having to upgrade to a new computer since my work computer just died after several years. If I get Word 2013, will the hospital and clinics be able to read the documents? They are running Word 97-2003. I was previously using Word 2010 and had no issues. Is it possible to just buy a new license for my disc of Word 2010 after using up the three installs? ...

I tested with the company and about 2-3 weeks later, received an email from them stating I had done well on their test and was offered employment as an IC. In order to test for them, I had to install Google Chrome (making for a total of 4 internet browsers now on my computer). I felt the testing procedure was a bit cumbersome, but managed to muddle my way through it. However, the test was a piece of cake, when compared to actually working for this company.

I've noticed that some companies are insisting on 2007 or 2010 Office systems, depending on what their platforms support. I currently work for a company whose platform is compatible with Office 2013, which is what I have on my PC, but we're running out of work more and more. I need to find another company that will accept Office 2013. Are there are any others out there? ...

Need to buy MS Word for my new job. However, when I purchased the 2007 version online it was an "academic version" only. Can't use that. I guess I have to buy a newer version, like 2010 or 2013, but it seems like the only way to do that is via download and then you pay a subscription of ??? per month or year? This is fine by me IF the company will allow that. I just want it to be legal and a licensed full version...obviously the one I purchased online was NOT.& ...

any trouble with Word not responding. This happened to me a couple months ago, Geek Squad saw nothing wrong, it stopped happening and then today it happened 3 times within an hour. Unfortunately I have to terminate the program, lose my work, reboot the system (or it will be extremely sluggish) and then it works fine. I am wondering if it has something to do with FileFort Backup or FastFox which downloaded when I purchased Express Scribe. Any help would be appreciated! ...
