Talk about great timing, I finally started getting work this afternoon, just as a typical summer thunderstorm hit. It sounded like it was centered about one block away. I shut down my computer for half hour. Do you work when there is lightning nearby? The lights weren't even flickering, but it was so close (lots of simultaneous flash-bangs) that I didn't want to take the chance. ...
I've heard you shouldn't use your computer or phone during a thunder storm. What do you do? Stop working until it's over, or continue working and ignore the thunder and lightning? ...
Haven't heard a word about this since they were asking people to apply in Dec. Supposedly 12 were hired for nights and weekend shifts. Wonder if they found 12 willing to chance another new created MQ position. ...
I would like to know what you see as the pros and cons of your job, esp if you work for one of the larger nationals and, if possible, maybe some idea of what pay range in addition to being an MT one might expect to be offered (or fair), ie, x-amount more per line or hour... thank you v. much for any input. ...

I know where you are coming from. I posted on here a couple of weeks ago that my husband passed away and I did not even get a "kiss my foot" from this company. No card, no email...no anything AND my post was jerked off here in a heartbeat. My CCM knew about it and another friend that works there as well. I am so disappointed in this company... ...
I recently took a job as an IC, thinking it would be great to make my own schedule. HOWEVER, I have to work when the work is there. There is no making my own schedule. The work flow dictates when I work. There is no work on Monday or Tuesday. Maybe a few reports trickle in late Tues, but then more work comes late Wednesday afternoon, then work Thurs, Fri, Sat, and by Sunday no work again.
Account is for clinic docs, no acute care.
Is this the same experience you other ICs are having. I ...
I am an IC. I have read a website that says we as independents get the following. I would love to hear from each one who is in this category and tell me if you as an independent are getting the following:
The site says many companies that hire ICs give full benefits including sick leave, health insurance, sign on bonuses, paid vacations, retirement plans.
Next this site says 6 hours a day is considered a full day for most MTs and lastly it says that we, if compentent enough ...
So I'm still learning the in's and out's of transcribing, hoping that once I finish this course and get my certification and start working it will get easier. Do the doctors ever get the mush out of their mouth???? Anyways, one of my assignments i swear he is saying "

Coumadin 30 mg per day.
Now, I want to make sure I'm not dreaming here, but that is completely incorrect, right?
Maybe I'm having a brain lapse (been an MT for 20 years) but I want to make sure my thinking is correct that this dosage would probably be lethal?
I'm going to leave a blank for the dosage, but I just wanted to double check with my MT friends. I have listened to it many times, and she is positively saying "30 mg per day."
TIA!! ...
Hello everyone,
I am about to complete my MT training with an online school and I am finding that many people seem very unhappy with their positions, the companies they work for, their pay, etc. I am curious to know just how feasible it is to expect to find a job, be happy with it, and actually make a decent paycheck.
Is there anyone out there who is happy with their current job and is willing to tell me about it? I have been doing lots and lots of research online and have been hard-pressed to ...
This person has a foreign body in the foot. Does this sentence make sense?
There appeared to be a foreign body distally that was visible and could hear audibly with the forceps.
Can it be heard audibly as the forceps hits the foreign body? Thanks for any help.

For the first time in a long time, I was in the cesspool. I spent 3 hours with an ESL serial dictator, that was speaking so softly I couldn't hear most of what he was saying, and what I could hear I couldn't understand. In one of the reports I only got 5 random words after spending a half-hour on it - and it was only 20 seconds long.
What should we do in cases like this - when you literally just Can't Get It, and not for lack of trying.

I was originally contacted by NetScript, I believe they got my resume off Careerbuilder or something like that. They were looking for Fri, Sat and Sun work, from 6 pm to midnight. Been out of the field for 5 years, because I was lucky enough, financially, to be able to stay at home with my two kids. Im ready to get back into it, so Im sort of putting my feelers out there. I emailed back that I was interrested, and was told to call the manager to get details. S ...
