This is a long sentence, but I think the punctuation looks right?? He does have some tenderness particularly in the area of a transverse incision at the left lateral aspect, which he said was the site of a draining sinus, after 1 of his many surgeries, for years. Maybe a comma after "tenderness" ? Seems like a lot of nonessential phrases.... ...

I love MT when I am paid well. When I am offered poverty wages, I don't like that. Can we agree to stop accepting these low wages for editing and transcribing? Being offered 4 cpl for editing and 6 cpl for transcribing is ridiculous. If you are offered a job, counter with a higher cpl. If you are employed, demand a raise. If you are an IC, tell them your rates have increased. I am not going to attempt to counter all the arguments that people are going to prof ...

...complaining on how bad being an MT is. I noticed most of thOSS saying that have been doing this for 20-30 years. The MT field is not dying it is changing and people don't want to adapt. They refuse to do VR because it pays less but if you learn the short cuts & stop using the mouse you can make good money. I've been doing both straight transcription & voice recognition. My point being there will always be a need for editors!!! I too hate the work going over seas & ...

I agree in spirit with the May 1st protest, but realistically I cannot spare the day off unpaid. Also, I work for the Wal-Mart of transcription otherwise known as Nuance. Resistance is futile. I honestly believe 80% of all US transcription is going to end up going through Nuance. They should just let the government take them over....then we could all get a big pay raise when we become government employees. LOL The reason I agree with the protest is this: 180 LPH ...

like if you agree dislike if you don't agree I'm blaming it on indigestion of a bit of bad potato. Bah Humbug! ...

...in case there is more than one, in particular I am referring to one on the LG supe team? Is it going offshore soon? Wondering why I was moved. Not alot to do. Very curious. ...

I read the link. The electronic medical record STILL is not the problem (my account with Q right now has EHR and I TRANSCRIBE the reports). The problem according to the article is that the Clinicians are inputting the data -- be it typing it in or point and click or speech rec --- but that information STILL has to be put into that record somehow. They are choosing to do it themselves and not pay transcriptionists, but the Electronic Medical Record only means that it is totally ...

She just contacted my sister-in-law 2 days ago about a problem my sister-in-law complained about. I left there in May but she (my sister-in-law) still works there unfortunately! But Amy is definitely not gone. ...

I am NOT going to read all those posts, but I just wanted to let you know that you are lucky you only get audited once a month. I get audited DAILY, at least once a day. Today I got audited twice, one 100% the other 99.75%. If I can remember correctly, I got dinged for typing something like "Aorta was tortuous" instead of "The aorta was tortuous". It was for an account that has a multitude of dictators - I swear there is a new one every day and no two on a consistent basi ...

who said it makes no difference to MM's bottom line if they put us on 100% QA because it usually is not permanent. Even if it is just for a month or two and they are lowering our salaries by half or more, multiply that by the number of hours worked and by the number of MTs on 100% QA. They can lower their costs by many thousands per month - at least enough to throw themselves a huge party. ...

With the name of Rajiv Poddar would you think it was a USA company? Just seeing that name in your post made me not want to read any further. That should have been a clue that it was from India and nothing else made sense about the wages either. ...

company and my pay was cut 23% at one time. You say good management-this company has a rep for this kind of stuff. Do you think it is good management when accounts run out of work daily because they are only overflow (almost all accounts with this company are overflow) and are overstaffed to stay in TAT-I had 5 accounts and still didn't have enough work? Do you like pulling teeth to get work and/or answers because there is only 1 (ONE) person dishing out work who has the persona ...

I agree with that wholeheartedly. But unions CAN force fair compensation for the skill and experience with the new technology. I have never understood the concept that MTs should be paid half of what they normally get paid for straight typing when doing VR editing. When doctors learned how to use da Vinci, endoscopic procedures, etc., did they get paid less because their new equipment helped them to be more proficient. Do doctors get paid less for EMR because a lot of ti ...

I would like to contact you by email please. ...

I was just reading an article on 98,000 annual deaths, and those were due to medical harm, like hospital-acquired infections, careless surgeries, and incorrect medication orders. In that article there is only one mention that has to do with healthcare information technology, and it wasn't MT or VR. It was about electronic prescription orders to prevent medication errors due to sloppy handwriting and harmful drug interactions. Not once is it mentioned about deliquent charti ...

There are nothing but a bunch of highly hateful and bitter MTs on here. Wow!! I think you all need therapy! ...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. I have had enough of the lack of work ethic in the transcription industry from the doctors and their myriad ways of making our life miserable and unprofitable. I will be moving to an area that has a Whole Foods, and even though they are outrageously priced, I believe in their mission statement more than the joke this industry has turned into. I can't wait to hang up my earphones. I appreciate your suggestion, and I am heeding it. ...

I remember she worked at Medquist and was on here a lot offering advice through all the changes. She shared how she worked through the first pay cuts in 2005 or around that time by working just three and a half days a week (lots of hours) and earning the highest production bonus possible. I believe she was also in school getting her MD? She was very informative, and wondered if anyone has heard from her, if she's here, still working at M-Modal or if she got her degree? ...

ALL-HANDS MEETING STATED: Performance management will be done for greatness of work to raise the bar on every MT/ME. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! This morning's email of trying to get us to be near 100% is bullcrap! MM won. I just hope and pray by moving this bar up that the company will fall. After giving this company more than 2 decades of my service, I HOPE TO QUIT! I am pulling money out of the 401K and finishing my schooling. This company is great ...

--they're not receiving responses from "peeps" (are you kidding me?) who want to work for 6-7 cents a line as an IC. LOL. I should hope not. ...

You reported messages all morning and are still at it. There is nothing wrong with the messages you are reporting. I can tell from your statements that you think your comments are going to the person who made the post. Well, they aren't! LOL They come only to me. You can take your snide, hateful self to another board if you don't like what is being posted here. Moderator ...

Your boat analogy is right on in every way. For those of us who have been in this business for a good while, it's hard to witness firsthand the continual degradation of what once was a viable and respected profession. And it gets me, because what we bring to the table hasn't changed. We're still highly educated people with a vast knowledge base and skills that should be recognized as being worth something. No one off the street would be able to do what we do. We're entru ...

For those of us that have been on here a while, we know how to use the Search function and utilize it to scan the archives for prior info on a company we are researching. If we can't find the answer to what we are looking for, we will THEN post a question about the company that wasn't previously answered in our search. Here you come with your irritating reply to "search the archives." Alas, a newbie comes along to this site who doesn't understand yet how the site works to try t ...

I realize you don't understand why some of us go with companies offering extremely low wages. Let me try to enlighten you (at least in my case). 1. I am 68 and physically disabled and cannot work outside my home. I am on SS, but there is no way I can live on that alone. 2. I have two specialties in MT tht I can work on comfortably and Mercedes has the both. 3. To transfer from one company to another and not have to be trained on the accounts/platform (BayScr ...
