Got an E-mail from MQ friend. She gave her

I am in serious need of a new transcription job, straight typing. If your job offers a bonus for signing on a new employee, let me be your bonus.. if they don't and but still need help, please contact me. I'm seriously on the verge of not being able to make my house payment in the near future. Nine years transcription experience, basic 4, acute care, psychiatry.. you name it.. if I haven't done it, I can learn. Current job switched to VR and ...

I have a friend who is a nurse who wants to get into medical transcripting. Since she has a lot of background, she doesn’t think it would take her long. I had a bad experience with the company that trained me, so I was wondering what you guys would recommend for her? Do you know of any companies that train then give live work or know of a low-cost school?I let her know that most companies require 3 years experience, so do you know of anyone who hires fresh MTs?Thanks in advance! ...

My friend has worked at a local hospital for the past 6 years and within the last year they have gone to voice recognition. Now because of this they are running out of work on a daily basis and she has to use her vacation time when this happens (she takes at least 3 days of vacation per week). She is starting to run low on vacation time and then has to take it without pay. Did I read on here that she can apply for unemployment because of lack of work? I went to her house last night and helped h ...

Ok, I have a friend who has worked inhouse for a few years for a large hospital. She makes $14 an hour with shift differential. They have pretty much cut the incentive pay out. She really doesn't get that I don't think anymore. She is fustrated with her boss and is considering going to Medquist radiology transcription. Another friend who works on the radiology side of MQ said she has not ran of work before and has 5 accounts to work on, etc. She says ...

A lady I have talked with wants to train in this kind of work and is planning on going to Andrews. Would she be making at least $30.00 an hour when she gets a job? Thanks. ...

I told her to give it not a second thought, it was a waste of money and time for the schooling required, and, even as an IC, she'd be LUCKY to make $.09 a line and have zero benefits. I told her she'd be MUCH better off working for McDonald's. Who is going to enter this profession of low pay and no benefits in the future? Who will stay when, even the transcriptionists who are fortunate enough to be doing straight transcription now, are gone after the switch to VR and ...

Someone who works at Medquist on the radiology side said that radiology isn't as bad as the acute care side. She said she has not ran out of work yet, and she has been there several months. I know what I see on these boards about the acute care side. Does this pertain to the radiology side too or is it different? ...

The following is from a Facebook post from a physician friend of mine. This is a letter he sent to his congressman. I got permission from him to post it here. Long read, but I feel galvanized by this: I have been dealing with 2 electronic health record (EHR) systems and it is clear that the technology is not ready for implementation. I feel they will increse cost, decrese access, and decrease quality of care in their current state. I encourage anyone reading thi ...

I was let go from my full time job of 10 years. I dont think I can collect unemployment if I have a part time typing job............ can I? ...

Had to give it up after almost 17 years. My wrists are shot (CTS) (surgery failed to help) and have cervical radiculopathy (numbness and tingling in arms and hands constantly and shooting pains up forearms). Went on Work comp then SSD. Get out before you ruin your health. It's not worth it. ...

I read the post below from the MDI/Transcend MT who is struggling with BeyondTXT. When I was informed last week that this platform was going to be installed on my computer in a day or so and then training would take place for God knows how long, I hung up during the conference call and immediately resigned. I had started another job, which I was going to give a trial period before leaving Transcend, but I realized that taking the time and effort to learn this unfriendly user pl ...

Hi all. I've been doing medical transcription for over 20 years, and have been with the Q for almost 12 years (the first year in the office and at home, and then they sent us all home). Been through all kinds of changes, from working in the local office and at home, to working at home, to being moved to the responsibility of another office, to that office closing down, then to working for a "virtual office" and finally a "service area." I lost count of how many superv ...

Just gave my notice! Working for the Q was just too stressful! Pay was crap, hours were crap. I couldn't take it anymore! I went from an awesome job making about 25 bucks an hour with great hours to the Q? My other company closed down (it was local) thanks to EMR. I must have been desperate. Just accepted another job for better pay and better hours.. ...

My employers response? Crickets...nada...nothing. Not even an acknowledgement that I was leaving. Seems strange, don't you think? ...

I thought I found a good company to work for until I got a two returned checks from them in the mail. The first time I thought mistakes can be made but AGAIN my check was returned. That really upsets me because I work hard for this company and they give me a bad check. There is no excuse for doing this to an employee. I have not been contacted about this check and I just quit because enough is enough. This is very dishonest and unprofessional to say the least. I have a family to take care ...

I sent my resignation letter to my supervisor. I am getting out before they completely destroy my self-esteem and physical health. I've had enough. ...

....an episode of supraventricular tachycardia. The episode was a few hours in duration. He developed chest pain and dizziness. The electrocardiogram was caught by the rescue squad. The heart rate was about 220. I assume that the rescue squad gave the patient (s/l) a-dem-a-see. ...

giddy and dancing around the room. At the last second I tried to cancel the e-mail, but it was too late. Guess it was meant to be. I have been with this company for 8 years, and they don't deserve me any longer. ...

came from someone else. Anybody ever had that problem before and does anybody know who I contact to get it fixed? ...

What are you all doing with emails you have saved to folders? ...

Paying 15.00 an hour. It is temp to hire. Hours 8 am to 5 pm, Unfortunately, I already have an inhouse day shift job. They asked if I knew anyone who would be interested. Couldn't think of a soul. ...

when there was no work ... how about, "it is too sunny to work?" LOL They are still running the ad portraying outsourcing as evil. You'd think they would know the difference between outsourcing and offshoring. A few more days and it will not be my issue anymore ........ ...

It was probably the sweetest present he's ever given me! He and his sister and three friends are playing "Rock Band" in the living room, two rooms away, right now, and I can hardly hear them while I'm working! What a son! ...

So she signed up for this teach yourself transcription course, captured and enraptured by all its 'carnival barking' about the money, the prestige, and the convenience of working at home and being your own (uh-huh) boss...offering the world on a platter and stopping just shy of suggesting she could meet/marry a doctor. Flashcards in a box. Albeit medical words...but...flashcards in a box. ...

In a cancer report, the doctor gave a diagnosis of Stage IIIC T4aN2M0 cancer. Then she later said, He was staged as a pathological T4aN2a. She added the a and dropped the M0. I listened very carefully for the diagnosis and later in the problem list. She does not add the a after the N2 in either place. Does anyone know why it is N2a in one place but just N2 in the DX? ...
