A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Who should I address petition to? Need input. - USMT
Posted: Jan 11, 2013
I am increasingly disgusted and appalled over what this industry has turned into and what the big MTSOs are getting away with at the expense of our ranks. I don't know if it will have any effect, but I would like to do something to try. I would like to start a petition through Change.org and state our plight. This would include the need for wage standards including a minimum wage mandate as well as the offshoring problem and how it is affecting our economy as well as us, financially. I would also mention the additional margin of error the offshoring is adding to medical records, etc.
I need input as to who this should be addressed to as well as other points to make in the petition. Please contribute your ideas. Those of you who feel it will not help, I am aware of that, so please, I would rather just get posts of help. Thanks.
Maybe one of your state's senators? - (Congressmen are useless).

Please feel free to share it as you wish.
Thank you - USMT
[ In Reply To ..]so much for replying with the link. I don't know how I missed seeing this. It was very well written. I do plan on setting up a petition with Change.org and with your permission will use your post. I just need to be sure who to send it to. Once done,I would like to get this circulated. I'm sure most people aren't even aware of what goes on. When I tell people I am a medical transcriptionist, most ask me what that is. I would love to get one of the newspapers to do a story also. I live in a big city. This profession may be a sinking ship but I'm not going down without a fight.
By all means - Feel free to use my post. nm - PleaseShareThis...

says a lot about you, doesn't it? - short attention span
[ In Reply To ..]Her post was very well written and applies to most everyone in this field...... but you can't bother to spend a few minutes reading it. lol
I'm guessing you're one of the people who posts nasty things or "dislikes" posts of MTs trying to band together and make a positive change in our careers.
There is a petition that goes to the WH - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I think this one goes to the whitehouse after a certain number of signatures are on it...And supposedly they have to respond to it...get what you want to say and then we all need to post the link on Facebook..

So What Is Up With The Stat-nts IM Address We Have?
May 29, 2013
Anyone ever notice that everytime the NTS-Stat address comes into your IM list that work gets screwy? I mean, why have this address at all since we never use this person or address for anything? Seems fishy to me that if you delete it, "it" knows to reappear on your IM list in, like, 20 seconds automatically. I know, several of you will revert to calling me paranoid. Please don't waste your breath. I'm just trying to figure out why and how the "monkey-business ...

MTSOs: Why Do None Of You Ever Address The Problem
Apr 12, 2015
These people who slur through the lab values and other basics that we have to be so careful of, and hardly any of you ever have the guts to contact the facility and address the problem. Why? Are you sucking up to the clients to get and keep the business and you don't wish to rock the boat at all and risk losing the account? I hope you realize that makes it much more difficult for us and makes more work for your QA people who have to waste time taking on ...
