Just venting……..I am so bummed. I was doing so well a couple of years ago. I was working as a Radiology Transcriptionist for six years for a very, very large radiology facility, two days in the office and the rest of the week from home in the evenings. Then they went to VR, but kept me on because the some of the docs were not complying with VR so those reports had to be typed and in addition I was doing editing. I was making good money and was able to put aw ...

Hey out there!! I know, I know, asked and answered many times, BUT, does ANYONE know of a great co.with straight typing, where headers count, where a person can make a great line count like they used to? Does anyone want to earn a sign on bonus?? (That is of course if your co. offers one.) Does such a place exist?? Come in MT sisters, help a gal outð�� I would love to pay my rent and have more than $10 to spread out for 2 weeksð��° Thanks for your help!!! ...

I can't seem to get used to this platform. I can't imagine how I'm going to make my daily line requirement, let alone ever get very fast on it. Any tips from the experienced users of M*Modal? ...

I just need to vent…. I’ve been working part time as an IC for a hospital in the Midwest for about 10 months now. They actually found my resume online and contacted me. I was already working 2 other part time jobs which really took up a lot of my time, but of course, not much money involved, so I decided to take it. I did all the training and caught on very quickly. In the beginning, I was able to work whenever I wanted since work was plentiful. ...

… something like that to happen to MTs (yeah, I know it will never happen, but I can dream can't I)! ...

Transcription is becoming a lost art. With the arrival of voice/speech recognition software, which captures sounds and “magically” turns them into words (albeit not always the correct ones), the specialty field of transcription has become an endangered livelihood. Unfortunately, forgotten along the way are the skills and talents a good transcriptionist possesses to make a document accurate and easily readable. The bottom line, as with most things, is the Almighty Do ...

The sky is falling !!! Anyone else see this? Is this an aberration or a portent of the direction Medical Transcription is heading? Wednesday, September 22, 2010 College ends medical transcription program Recently Delhi University announced its Medical Transcription Program, for the first time, was producing better transcriptionists in India including South Asia. In the meantime, San Juan College is closing its Medical Transcription Program stating that there is les ...

Hasn’t anyone read their emails and seen the “exciting” news in the Link today?? “….new compensation structure to be simple to understand, transparent, competitive, to be effective around 10/1….” Translate:Simple to understand = unable to be calculated by MT Transparent = we all make the same regardless of experience Competitive = MTSOs battle each other to pay the lowest rates Sounds like another pay cut is in the work ...

Does “vigorous pinprick” to the face sound correct to you? I’m imagining the doc stabbing needles into the patient's face. "Cranial Nerve V: She reports no facial sensation other than in her forehead, though with vigorous (s/l pimpering), she does flinch but says she still does not feel it." ...

I see or hear someone say, "have went" instead of "have gone." I've started hearing that a lot in the past few years. At first I thought it was a regional grammatical error from having moved to a small town in recent years, but lately I've even been hearing it a lot on TV. Oh, that's another chalk board grating: When "a lot" is put as "alot." Those are the only two obvious errors that really bother me though. ...

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 ...

To all my MQ and MT Stars friends, may this year and this decade be better than the last. May you and your families be richly blessed this new year. ...

With the transcription industry ever changing b___ s___ with paycuts, outsourcing, VR and big corporations taking over, being a mother is the most important job some of us have. The only good benefits we have today as transcriptionists are we can be home with our children and we can avoid the gas guzzling drive to work. So remember do not let the industry bring us down as we are mothers in this hard time for transcriptionists. ...

I was looking on this board for the archives. I used to be able to type in a word that I was looking for and the archives would come up showing me if anyone had discussed this before. Am I just missing something or has this been removed. Thanks ...

This is a really dumb question, but how does one search archives for information on MTSOs? ...

Was just trying for a job with a company, sent my resume, asked me what hours I was looking for, how much experience I had and then dropped the bomb that they only pay 3¢ a line for VR editing. Is there anyone out there making a decent wage doing editing for so little? ...

I can't post a public reply on that thread. The only option is "reply by email." Is it just me or is that normal for the company board? I don't want to send an email. What is up? ...

After reading responses to a post I made last week, and then the many posts about FIESA over the weekend, a thought occurred to me. Basically, FIESA is like they're giving us a "write up," or a warning, and that each time we sign our initials, we are signing that writeup. Not that they need or require a reason to let most of us go, but this is a perfect way to protect themselves. They won't allow us to write comments in those boxes. We get reprimanded if we do. ...

Would appreciate any info on how to see messages on boards and in archives. When I click on the Navigation menu at the left all I get are blank screens. Thanks. ...

people were complaining of running out of work a lot. Is that still a problem at DSG or is it better now? ...

I have seen people say a few times that they have already searched the archives. Well how do I do this? I do not see anywhere with a search box. I have questions regarding a companies and do not want to repeat questions if they have already been answered. Thanks. ...

Didn't see anything in archives about this company. Any info? Thanks! ...

I have read some of the archives about iMedX from a while ago, but am wondering if they are still paying 2 cents per VR line and/or if anybody works there and makes a decent living or is happy there at all. TIA for any info. ...

I agree with her 100%. There will always be more of us, and we really could make a difference if we would just band together. I have always wanted to start a new association for MTs-AMERICAN MTs. Don't let them win. ...

I just heard yesterday where 1 place is saying you have to do at least 4000 lines per day in VR in order to work for them. Are other places saying the same, how about where you work? ...

I have made multiple posts with multiple suggestions on what each individual can do. Those actions can include your suggestion of "lay on my couch?" if you so desire, although that will not be as effective as say participating in your local May 1st activities.

See this link for more info on that: May Day Directory: Occupy General Strike In Over 115 Cities

There will also be ongoing efforts beginning May 2nd that you can choose to involve yourself in or not. Have a most fabulous day!
