Can someone give me a Timeline of company change from: TotalEmed - to Spheris to Medquist to MModal? tia n/m

I just feel like the process is not moving fast enough and I asked for this schedule change almost a month ago. She sent over the paperwork and hasn't said anything else since. Not even when I sent an email asking her if she's considered me. There is no communication whatsoever. I don't understand it. Is there a way I can get her to reply to me without having to press her every week to see if she's approved my new schedule? ...

Hired by new co. only to discover they have no work!!!!!!! It's been 2 weeks now. They advertised about needing a lot of new MTs within the past couple months, but I rarely hear from them. I was put on one account since that has had no work. Now what? Why did they bother to hire me? I wonder if anyone else is in the same boat? ...

but I can't. I have to find an at-home job. I have tried house cleaning, but no one around needs a cleaning lady (very small town). I have a disabled son that I just cannot leave with anyone else. It HAS to be me or he has super fits. I guess I am just venting:( Just so sad what this has come down to:( ...

I applied, got an email to test. Can anybody give me the good and bad on this company? If you can guestimate pay for me, that would be great as well! I have 10 years of experience. After I applied, I read some posts on here that were a little worrisome. I want to get some more input before I test. Thank you! ...

when they see it written down. Nobody knows how to pronounce it when I fill out forms and such. Such a dumb decision to make a name with an * in the title. just cumbersome and a PITA. ...

OTI doesn't anymore. :o( ...

just saying... look..I don't begrudge any of these business school graduates their right to validate their jobs by writing ridiculous nonsensical doublespeak tomes to impress their market share holders..but in the end this is a simple business which they have ruined. The docs dictate the crap We type the crap We send the crap back And it's available to view. How this information is managed and accessed of course improves with technology, but Medquist or MModal, or Doll ...

I am in the process of transitioning jobs and will be going from a company-provided computer to my own. Any suggestions on what software programs are needed, virus protection, word expanders, line counting, and hardware like foot pedal? The hospital I am looking into will be using Microsoft Word. Any comments on whether this is a good program or not to transcribe on? Any tips? I have been with the same company for 15 years, so have been out of the loop and need ...

I am working at a company who observes certain holidays and we are required to work 4 of them, but this is the first company I have ever worked where I have to use my PTO on the holiday I am supposed to be off. Does your company do the same? Thank you! :) ...

I absolutely cannot even understand this part of the dictation to even try to break it up into something valid. It's under the physical examination, HEENT. "Pupils equal, round, and reactive to light and accommodation. Extraocular muscles were intact. (s/l ophthalmolotin powasting)." She goes into cardiac after this and clearly dictates that heading. ...

I thought I'd looked everywhere but obviously not. Where are the links to external resources, sister MT sites, etc? I'm sure I'll really feel stupid when you tell me. ...

ASR was doing better a little while back now it is way screwed up again...Which means they hired people that dont know what they are doing..They need to make it about a year or so on new hires before they go through the filter and screw it up..And you would think at the very least there would be a filter to keep misspelled words from printing out,,,Just my opinion ...

is it just me or is there someone else out there thinking that ASR has gone completely nuts! My usual 240 lph is down to about 160 lph with all the editing I have had to do tonight on my normally clearly-speaking dictators, i.e., Dictated: MRSA bacteremia ASR: Cataracts Dictated: ESRD, on ASR: Anterior, a If it didn't require so much editing it could ...

I just want to let everybody know there are other fields where we can put our skills to use. I responded to an ad asking for a transcriptionist and thinking it was medical I sent my resume of 20+ years MT and got hired . It turns out its a legal transcriptionist for workers comp lawyers. Right now I do 4 hours a day as they need me (as there is another transcriptionist there) and am making a lot more than medical transcriptionist. I'm hoping at some point they may offer full-time so I&# ...

I've had it. Today will be the first time I'm not going to be compliant with the "mandatory" OT. I just can't anymore. They mandate, then they run out and cancel the mandate. They give a few days without mandate and then we're back on mandate. I work a specific schedule for a reason. I do NOT appreciate being jerked around. Whether it's illegal or not, it is WHOLLY UNETHICAL. I'm not an on-demand worker. This 8-h ...

I work part time for 2 companies. One company usually has plenty of work. I love the work and the people and they are very flexible. I can usually get full time lines. The other company usually has no work and I really despise the work and the QA. I'm tired of the constant frantic emails stating how there is so much work only to go on and find there are less then 10 jobs. This company now wants us to be employees. I don't want to be t ...

This board is sometimes so disheartening. All of you new MTs, we are graduating from reputable schools, we are getting jobs and it is no different from any other occupation. Times change, rules change, technology changes, but if we are not set in our ways and our not willing to grow, things will disappear. We always blame everyone else, but maybe its time to look at the opportunities that do exist and concentrate on where we do want to be in 5 years or 10 years. Peop ...

I would like to give my feedback, a lot of hype for a BIG let down. Swapboard a BUST. OLD report lookup, andother BUST. They need a HUGE anonymous suggestion box. ...

How many Medical Transcriptionist right now feel like they are being discriminated against because of your lack of experience? Why are Medical Transcription companies only looking to hire experienced Medical Transcriptionist in a certain field? Don't they realize the resources that are out there now, that can give someone the opportunity to grow in this field. Right now there are so many people out of work and struggling to get a job and have little to no ...

After working for more than 30 years as a medical transcriptionist, having gone through so many changes in the field, I left it all behind a year ago. I worked the last ten years at home, the last few I was with MDI/Transcend. MDI was a great company, but it all fell apart when Transcend took over. Hope DF is sleeping well on her $16 million, I know many transcriptionists are not. I saw my pay dwindle down to almost nothing and my TL cherry-picking, which really cut my in ...

Can someone give any info on DSG? Right now, I only care about if there's ASR in a big way, or now/low work in a big way. Last ditch effort to stay in the business. Thanks! ...

I have been considering going to Andrews to become an MT for and I have never done it because I get on these boards and get scared to death! I have worked in the Medical field for 13 years (as a clinical tech and surgery....included in that is some limited transcription and scribing). I now stay home with my kids. I have one in school and the other in pre-school. I would love to be an MT because I love the medical field and I would love something I can do from home. I do not expect to get rich. ...

Mmodal platform? I googled screen shots because I want to see what it looks like, but could not get anything. ...

Do you think it is necessary to give 2 weeks notice if I am ALWAYS out of work. For example I should be done with my 8 hour shift in an hour and I am not even half way through the day due to being out of work on my primary and ALL of my back ups. I just do not see the point in it. What do you guys think? Thanks and I hope everyone has a great day!! :) ...

My TSM is RW. Just WONDERING if anyone else in her region has filed? TIA ...

I have a small medical transcription service. For years, all of my clients were physicians. With the implementation of the EHR, my business took a nose dive, but I’m now (thankfully and gratefully) beginning to build my client base up again which consists of non-medical clients. How many others have made a successful change like this in their once-only-medical-transcription service? ...
