Ever feel like

I was just looking at the Word Help board - I can't imagine working at home by myself, having no one to ask for help. When I first started, you could turn to the person next to you and get some help. They've really been thrown to the wolves. Good luck, all!! ...

as the poster below. I think the lag in our computers now with the 6.1 is either because the ILPs are "observing" while we are typing or there is a spyware included to watch our keystrokes and screens. Getting paranoid. ...

Today is payday. Never knowing what it will be until I check my bank account, I get this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach while logging on to my bank's website. It's sort of like butterflies, but not as pleasant a feeling! This morning, I took a look at the last five deposits. Most are within 20 or 30 dollars, but they all are getting progressively smaller, smaller, smaller. Compared to two years ago, it's literally half of what I was making. Egads! Soon I will be p ...

I know a lot of you work for companies right now that do not have enough work and I can truly empathize with you, have been in that boat as well. But the company I work for begs us to do overtime every single solitary weekend, aka Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have been in this field for almost 30 years and quite honestly I am burnt out. I put in my 40 hours a week and feel the rest of my life is my time. I have neck problems and back problems as well, but still manage to do my best and am also ...

Who are actually listening and believing this BS that WMJ is spewing out. She or he does NOT have your best interest at heart. If you choose to do the sick out I can guarantee that you will not have a job when you try to log back in on the 2nd. We work in an at will employment job. They can lock you out and not even give you a reason for letting you go. We do not have a union which would protect you in a strike situation though I for one still would not want to be in a union because they ar ...

a note and say, "Hey, the reason you have having to s-p-e-l-l these simple words now is because your chart notes are being done in India." All part of the plot to push for off-shoring the work because there are "so few qualified US MTs." ...

they'd be too old to start at the bottom and no one will hire them, consider getting your real estate license. It only takes 2 months, and this happens to be an industry where it seems age actually is of benefit! Trust me, I've done it and now an apartment manager in a small complex where I pay no rent and no utilities. Try it if interested, you might like it :) ...

I made 99.125 on my audit this month. Why do i feel this company still considers this failing. One thing is for sure, I cannolt wait until I get another job. ...

I am so sick and tired of this work, this company, and really hate sitting down here every day for the past 20 years. It gets harder each day with every new rule, policy or threat we receive. Whether there is work or not, I feel the same way - I am so burned out on this garbage. I am still far from retirement and really trying to find a way to refocus myself to concentrate on this mind-numbing drivel that ASR puts out. I am so sick and tired of putting in commas, taking o ...

when fast food workers are making $10/hour? ...

one of those bears on a track in the carnival shooting games. Shoot-ding-turn, shoot-ding-turn......... ...

Today I could so easily throw my computer and reference books in a pile in the middle of my office, light a match, and walk away. ...

I started my job at the high school cafeteria and believe it or not, love it. Min wage never felt so good. I'm still doing MT at night, but have been having a *forget this* attitude. Plus, with the work load at my MTSO being so friggin' slow, it just depletes my motivation. If we really didn't need the money, I would up and quit. {{sigh}} ...

I'm going to preface this by asking that there be NO judgment ... no snarky "get out of the field then" or "don't let the door hitcha in the arse" comments. I'm just having one of "those" days where I feel absolutely horrible about the work that I do. Tomorrow, I will be fine again and we all have these days from time to time. I'm getting ALL crappy reports today. I can't seem to understand ANY of the dictation I've gotten, I've barely ...

The old bait and switch . Ask you to work OT and then give you the worst of the worst. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I sure could use the extra money but don't want to go through the "crap" to earn it. ...

I have a doc describing a cough and I can not come up with the correct spelling on the end of the word. It is a rattley cough, as in rattle-like sounding cough. It is not rattling, but rattle-e. Some days, the brain is just not functioning. Duh! Sorry. ...

I have 20+ years' experience as an MT, 8 more years as a nurse before that, consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, yet I feel like I'm struggling more and more just to do this job. I had the most horrific dictators today with the worst ASR, one after the other. It felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders as I slumped in my chair trying to get the jobs done. I just could not understand those Indian doctors. Stutterers. Clanging backgr ...

before I went into my PCP's office today. The NP who saw me walked in with her laptop and proceeded to enter everything in using drop-down menus and shortcut phrases, saying how GREAT it is to not have to dictate any more. She said the program wasn't perfect and didn't have every drop down thing she needed, but she could type in phrases herself whenever needed. Said the docs are all on board and loving it:(:(:( I guess this is what' ...

After 25 years all the sudden I feel like I cannot do anything right. MQ must be trying to get rid of experienced MTs. ...

Had an appt with my doctor; she was slowly typing as we talked. I asked her how she liked typing her own records. She said she hates it but has no choice as it is required now. Apparently some companies are telling the hospitals that EMR is required by law. That isn't exactly true, and the companies (such as MQ) do a lot of fibbing and twisting of the truth. While it will be required that medical records be electronic....HOW they get there is where they are fib ...

Anyone new to MQ that feels like they were just thrown out and then forgotten? I just started last week and other than the SR and docqscribe training they really don't tell much. I was never even told how to clock in and out until a week into working and that was because I asked. I am here because my old job, which I loved, was outsourced to MQ. I did clinic notes for so long for the same doctor that I feel like I am just starting out and it is scary. Any ...

Hi! This is how I feel today. Sometimes my account (not MD-IT) has so much work we are chasing our tail. However, this week has been really slow so I am looking for a new full-time home and I'll stay with the old place part-time. To that end, any word on MD-IT? I just would like to sit down at X o'clock and put in 7-8 hours and be done. I really hate babysitting the computer for a dang job???!!! In here three hours already and only have 200 lines Thanks for hear ...

I used to love transcription. I felt competent and like I was doing a service to patients by making their medical records into an understandible format. When I was working oftentimes I would be "in the zone" and time would pass by quickly. I felt proficient. After working for MedQuist for 6-odd years, I'm sick of them, sick of transcription in general. I dread going to work every day and yes I am looking for another job but being over 50 and having done nothing but work at home in tr ...

Where to look now? I feel like I have looked everywhere possible. I applied to a place in Minnesota. They had told me, "After we review all of your tests (which I passed) and your application, along with your online interview, you will be contacted." I have not yet been contacted, and that was on 9/22. I have emailed them and everything, and they have not responded. I was thinking about calling them, but should I even bother? Also, I had advice from my mother ...

It just seems like we cannot win with this company. Between the 5% QA, bottom of the barrel dictators, and unrealistic expectations I just want to pull my hair out. ...

Any DSG'ers out there? Just curious how you all feel about the company. I know that the whole MT field is going down the tubes, but if you work there, are you about as happy as one could be in this field these days? Do you ever wonder if the grass is greener somewhere else? ...

Left s/l *CARE-dee-oh-nal* craniotomy for an anterior skull base approach for microsurgical resection of a complex 2-cm suprasellar mass. Thanks in advance. ...

I'm on a huge account with a huge company (the one that is taking over the planet right now). Most of the time I get editing and I have to really scramble to make enough, because of course they pay less than half what I used to get for straight transcription. But this morning I got lucky and pulled up a discharge that was straight transcription that was 21 minutes long. I finished the whole thing and tried to upload it. EditScript gave me a message that it was not ...

I have been having a really rough time lately, and I actually was in tears today because of the stress I have been under and I just really couldn't hold it in anymore. I am an MT and have been for the last 7 years and like the 99% of the MTs out there, I have been so tired of all the stuff we all have to put up with with declining wages and declining quality of dictators, so I decided to start coding school with Andrews. I'm almost finished! Only a few more months of ...

I just started with a new company. I've only been working a few weeks. I feel lost. No training to speak of on their software. They often do not answer e-mails and on top of that they send e-mails every week threatening that if you do not do more, do it better, faster, etc. you will be out of a job. Wow.....nice! I am working hard and I do adhere to my committed hours and turn in quality work. I don't know what else I can do. I don't under ...

Ever feel like - Nobody

Must vary depending on accounts. - sm
