Don't they realize these calls do not increase moral but rather - only serve to bring the MT community down.

My first post here. I've been doing this too long, in deep pain every day I work. Financially struggling. Just some comfort knowing others can understand. I've been doing this so long, I have lost faith in my ability to try anything else, ya know. Anyone relate? Blessings. ...

Since MM bought out my company a few years ago, I have lived every day in fear...fear of audits, fear of pay cuts, fear of getting fired. I'm a single parent, and this job is all I have to keep food on the table, pay my bills, and take care of my kids. I enrolled in an online course a few months ago, which is somewhat empowering, but I can't shake this morbid fear of losing my job right now. I know there are other jobs out there, and believe me, I have looked, but the ...

Moral ovale hematoma of hip? ...

Did you ever start a job and realize immediately that it is not the right one for you, that you will be miserable in it? Too many crazy account specifics. Too much bumbling around with the software to get to the actual typing. Too much crap. The thing is, I am so broke beyond belief. But this job is just awful. I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. My goodness, I am so sick of this profession. Sick of taking test after test with company after company and them never responding ba ...

Reports go through hospital/clinic QCs (not every report) and if they are not over 99% Nuance doesn't get paid. ...

The hardest thing for executives to do is to acknowledge the need to take a new direction. Study after study has shown the propensity of the people at the top to fiddle around the edges of failed initiatives trying to "fix" them - but, like Nero, they fiddle while Rome burns. To call Medquist's history "spotty", especially in the area of employee relations, but also with respect to some of it's technology initiatives, would sadly understate the case. This company is very badly ...

Wow I knew I hated my job, but it is much worse than I thought. Though I have my resume out to find another job and I pray every night to find one, I feel as though I'd rather be without a job than to continue working for this company which has definitely sucked the life out of me and has taken away my ability to earn a decent living. How does one work 93 hours and only take home 500 bucks...oh yeah by working for the Q, that's how. Take an 18 year employee who starte ...

is the DICTATORS?! THEY are the ones being sloppy and negligent, not the MT who is trying like hell to understand what on earth they're saying. If hospitals had to pay a premium to get the dictation of their sloppy-guys transcribed, maybe they'd think twice about hiring them in the first place. ...

and people are just not going in for surgeries or waiting till they are horribly sick before coming to the hospital. It is always slow everywhere I have worked between January and February. Of course you will be out of work at this time of year. I have been here long enough to know I work for 2 jobs because of this reason and, unfortunately, both places I work are low on work right now. Please just suck it up and quit complaining. At least you have a job and ...

before they finish a 10-minute dictation. But, by all means, let's not say anything to them. After all, they're doctors, residents, PAs, and they don't get up and put their pants on like everybody else. Forget the poor people on the other end trying to make sense out of the nonsense they spew out of their mouths. That's my vent for the day! Now maybe I will feel better! ...

for a medical facility and not a fire department. ...

that we work on production. When they start to dictate why can't they have their ducks in a row and just dictate? Why must they sit and scroll through computer screens or a paper chart? It makes me want to scream. Ten-minute dictations that produce 30 lines is totally ridiculous, but until the hospitals and MTSOs stand up for us and put a stop to it, it will keep happening. Okay, I'm through now. ...

Basically meaning that the platform is not going to MT friendly or you're going to spend too much time filling in patient demo, or a myriad of any other reasons. And once you found out that it wasn't going to work out, how long did you stick it out? ...

I recently left a company after four years because the grass seemed greener elsewhere, has anyone ever done this and then realized right away it was a huge mistake? I feel guilty after the company has trained me and worked with me for almost two weeks but I am so miserable, any suggestions or advice of what to do? ...

Sorry just had to let it out...ty for listening to my scream lol ...

Just heard from my TSM there will be no further calls regarding this latest _____???? I am going to send this to QA so I can lock my 7 cents a line rate in since I had to leave a blank. This is getting so very old. ...

Has anybody received their phone call about what their new schedule will be? ...

I used to work for Spheris/Medquist over a year ago. I received an automated call today from Medquist to reapply again. They claim they have a lot of work and need the help. I guess they have not figured out yet that MT's are leaving the field in droves. ...

Anybody get callback from MD2MD; and if so, had they already called your references? Anybody have any info on them; theyr'e out of California? ...

Have you ever transcribed conference calls, and if so, how does it compare with medical trancription in terms of income, time consumption, etc.? Any information would be helpful. Thank you in advance. ...

To your state's unemployment office if you were ever OOW AND your local labor dept. (How many times did you check email or FIESA on "production" time (unpaid)? Wage theft times years? ...

....as I'm about ready to get kicked out. I have been working like crazy and was shocked when I saw my paycheck but at least I have a job. Please tell me what I can do to get more lines per hour. If I turn the clock off when I get up, then I have to make up that time to get my eight hours in. Too tired by the end of when my shift is to stop to do more typing/vr. I need hints/ideas/etc!!!!! Thanks :) ...

Anybody here from MDI who have attended the weekly conference calls about AAMC. I am a night owl and they always have the calls early morning. ...

Two phone calls that will never happen: RING-RING! MT: "Hello?" SUPERVISOR: "You @#$% lazy good-for-nothing. This report has two blanks in it! Why didn't you look them up?" MT: "Kwitcherbitchin, fool! You got exactly what you paid for!" RING-RING! MTSO: "Hello?" CLIENT: "You @#$% lazy good-for-nothings! This report has two blanks in it! Why didn't you look them up? MTSO: "Kwitcherbitchin, fool! You got exactly what you paid for!" ...

Does anyone remember the conference calls we had when transitioning to Transcend from MDI-MD regarding our line rates? I can remember quite a few people being upset that after being told our rates would not change, many had their line rates cut. And I specifically remember them saying that once our account went to VR, we would be getting 50% of our transcription rate. Does anyone else remember this as well? Either I'm losing my memory or someone is playing games because o ...

This is to all the people that get ticked off when MQ calls them to work. I WOULD KILL FOR A CALL TO WORK AT ANY TIME OF THE DAY OR NIGHT. I have always said I am available 24/7, but with the "new and not improved" MQ there is really no one to tell that to, no one who truly cares -- about the client or the employee. How wonderful it would be to feel needed again. With so many of us vying over so few reports, the only feeling I get from them is "just quit, just quit, ...

I got this email from my friend. I didn't know you could do this and have read a lot about customer service calls here so though it was interesting to post. I want to ask each of you to consider doing the following when you are talking on the phone to any US customer service representative that is based in a foreign country (like India ). I have done this twice and it works! Any time you call an 800 number (for a credit ca ...

I am so burned out and so tired of trying to get jobs here. So many of these recruiters do not call when they say they will and a few just never called. No explanations, no apology, like "Oh well they are only MTs, a dime a dozen and who cares if we do not call and fail to give them the courtesy you would any other worker." I am just worn out and sick of trying, sick of doing all the testing and then having an interview where nothing ever happens. I must admit Nuanc ...

This post is in regard to posts I have seen lately on this board regarding dictators. They actually do care or must feel they need to address situations that I bring to their attention. A call regarding flags from the physician himself. He is realizing how much time I am spending locating certain info not dictated. He tells me officially that the facility is to handle that now so as not to take up my time. A call from a dictator today, stating as he made so many errors and redictations on the ...

Don't they realize these calls do not increase moral but rather - only serve to bring the MT community down.

Thinking Amy is breathing such a sigh of relief that is over - and planning a retreat to recover from stress.

Actually probably reading through these posts and laughing - as her million dollar direct deposit hits.

Now she can go on another 6 month vacation. - mom2huskies
