A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Everything bad that has happened in someone's life is either directly or indirectly related to MT. Everyone at the MTSO except the MT is stupid or ignorant. Anyone who dresses up to go to the office or wears a "suit" to work is the enemy, not to be trusted and is out to screw the MT over. Most QA and QC staff want to make the MT look bad and therefore create bogus errors so that they will never pass their audits. We all know that MTs never make mistakes. If an MT gets mad at her boss and wants to change jobs, there is no need to give any kind of notice, but if the MTSO withholds any or part of their final paycheck because that is company policy, time to call the labor board. Working conditions are "third world," "squalid" and "sweatshop," yet the MTs work in their own homes. No one is able to improve their situation or find a better job because MT has them so beaten down that they have no self esteem. Don't even think about training for a coding job or anything else related to medical records or transcription because all of those jobs might be gone. We know it's coming because nothing good ever comes from being an MT.
Listen to yourselves, people! Sorry for the rant but it's the same thing over and over. I know I don't have to read this board, it is my choice. This is how most of you sound to me. If there are any positive, upbeat posts here, I sure am missing them, they are all overshadowed by negativity.
