Anyone else been set adrift so to speak? - sm - Confuzzled

Posted: Jun 14, 2010

It all started approximately a month ago with a note from CCM saying she was going on vacation. Not a word from her since then.

Letter from corporate saying I had a new CCM. Wrote that person and got a reply that she would like to help me but I wasn't hers!

Been well over two weeks since any word from QATL.

I was on lockdown, now I'm not.

I'm still on the same old accounts for the most part, with the same old CCM listed, but nobody seems to know it. LOL

Anyone in the SW region with this happening to them?

I am in the SW region. - Just Me

So far I've been told we have a new CCM coming on board (and her name) but haven't heard from her yet. In the meantime my past CCM iss till contacting us.

I don't know what's going on. It's feast or famine during the week (mostly famine) and I get crazy accounts I've never seen before or hardly know. I was told my primary is being bunched with Spheris folks too, so we'll see.

I haven't had a MQ E-mail since June 3rd. - anonymous

I was kind of wondering the same thing. Don't know if I have a CCM or not, but am still getting same (crappy) accounts.

heard from mine to tell me I have a new CCM - NE MT

The only good thing I can say is no lockdown as of yet. I am getting crappy NEW accounts and I get my primary maybe every 5th job. Today has really been a horrible day. I know I have a new CCM and it feels like everything else is new too- just drifting along trying to keep my head above water.

was adrift, but I rescued myself - strawberry

Same situation for me, could not get my timecard fixed by "new" supervisor, no emails, nothing. I finally resigned after working for medquist for 7 years total. I was tier III and making a good line rate, I think they wanted me to resign first. I couln't take it anymore.

This one particular account I absolutely despise. The dictators whisper. Even with the volume turned all the way UP, it is a struggle to hear them. Have reported this too many to count times with nothing being changed. What a bunch of garbage. This job just keeps on giving. ...

I just put some things together that are enlightening. MQ/Spheris has 12,000 MT's in the U.S., not counting those overseas. Transcend has 5,000 MT's in the U.S. and another 1500 in India. Webmedx has 1200 MT's. KeyStrokes has 600 MT's. TT has 200 MT's. Softscript has 200 MTs. NEMT has 200 MT's. Transolutions, or whatever they are called now, has 300 MT's. Medware, again not sure what their new name is, has 3 ...

How can we edit/transcribe if the volume is highest on the computer, ear phone amplifiers are on, and we STILL CANNOT HEAR! If it comes straight typing and ASR cannot pick it up, why in heaven's earth does the doctor think I CAN HEAR. I cannot! Are these docs being passive aggressive... Oh they don't realize?! That is just MEAN, CRUEL. Forget that I have to make a living wage, but think about just plain RESPECT. This vent brought to you by me getting too ...

There are a couple of dictators whose grammar, pronunciation, and enunciation is so poor, you wonder if they actually need a translator in order to speak to their English-speaking patients. A translator that can translate poor English. That translator would be bilingual, that is, English-speaking and poor-English-speaking. Yes, it seems "poor English" is also a language of its own that only those who speak it can understand. ...

I mean seriously this catering to their stupidy is starting to get old. Granted they aren't major errors. But, my theory is if they cannot give me the courtesy of even remotely completing a sentence, much less a paragraph here lately, I am sending it through. I know I can look at the repository and figure most of the stuff out, but that is a guess at best and not a chance I am willing to take with patient care. Sick of it!!! Unfortunately, my main offenders are 100% QA accounts so QA f ...

I'm trying to get an answer from my CCM regarding foreign doctor's dictation and this 5% QA submission. I type for two separate teaching hospitals and are constantly getting new foreign doctors, 3/4s of which cannot even speak English. I won't matter if I got copies of every single report they dictate, there would be no way not to send these reports to QA....are we getting any kind of special consideration towards our QA submissions for these doctors? My CCM I don't think has ...

They expect us to understand their Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, Hispanic accents when they can't even put a simple English sentence together! The hospitalists are the worst. I think they hire them right off the boat from their overseas countries and put them to work in the hospitals-- probably as cheap as they can get them, and then put them on VR. My MTSO increased their line requirements for this year and with over 30 years' experience, I struggle ...

How is it that they expect such a high level of skill but want to pay us as unskilled labor? I am so ticked listening to this one foreign idiot - I am typing it just like she says it! I dare them to confront me about it? You want it cleaned up - pay for it!!! You want it to sound intelligent? Pay me more than a high school student! ...

Hi all, I wanted to share my current situation. For the past 3-4 years the doc I work for (I am an IC but have had an acct with this same physican for many years since I used to work in his office as an employee) has periodically told me and the full-time lady in the office that we may be losing our positions due to cutbacks in transcription. I also transcribe for another family doctor in this same group and probably half of my lines come from him as well. There was an office ...
