How in the world can all of you work for

Morning all. Knew it was coming, just didn't know when. CTL gone Monday and this a.m., a totally new CCM. Haven't been told anything by anyone at MQ about any of this. Just happened. It's OK. The last CCM was pretty bad, never answered E.mails or phone calls. The CTL was great though and that is probably why she is gone. MQ can't stand to have anyone good for morale and/or MTs work for them. Look out everyone, its Christmas ...

PE section of report. Abdomen: Revealed bulging flanks. An umbilical hernia was present. There were bowel sounds throughout. s/l Pastel's or Pascal's was positive, and there was a positive fluid wave. Any help would be appreciated! ...

would probably not jibe with what Vern would like the world to know. ...

Yesterday (Sun) was a nightmare. I was struggling to get jobs all day long (see posts below). There were very few last night even, when there are normally an abundance of jobs. I was bouncing all over the place; it was like the cesspool all over again. Look at the backlog this morning; only 400 jobs company wide at 8 EST? I think whatever upgrade they did yesterday morning just sucked more accounts to our ILPs. ...

On my every-other-month audit by my QTL I lost points for expanding Clostridium difficule, but SHE wanted me to put (I kid you not) C Diff. Now I have been reading stories by newswriters about E-coli, but I'm still putting E. coli. Please don't tell me those idiot biddies at AHDI have changed the "rules" on us again. I also make money typing papers for professional journals, and I really HATE dumbing myself down for MQ. and...I'm still getting broken jobs with terms like ...

After I was terminated by Transcend, I thought my world had come crashing down on me, and I picked up the pieces and started to look for work. In the meantime, I filed for unemployment, never thinking I had 1 chance to gain that at all. My judgment came in from the review board in the State of FL., and they determined that there was no fault found on my part when the company terminated me, and that I had carried out my duties, as described in my job description, with no intent on my ...

Am I missing something? What happened in the world we live in now? It is as if something has gone terribly awry almost overnight. It must have changed when I wasn't looking... I made a cold call to a pain clinic in a nearby town. I asked if I might send my resume via e-mail and was told "We don't like to give out our e-mail address." I was asked if I might mail it via snail mail to the attention of their office manner. I was told her name was " ...

This doctor is going way too fast. Even when we slow him down, he is going sooooo fast. Here is the sentence we have been stuck on! The patient ___ sedation to the right. The abdomen is prepped Beta and scrubbed Beta solution and draped in usual fashion. Same doctor, same dictation: The area was checked for hemostasis, closed with 3-0 Vicryl of the subcutaneous tissue and 4-0 Vicryl ___ skin and steri-strips. Please and thank you SO very much! ...

I'm lucky enough to have one of the few remaining MT/E jobs that is NOT an MTSO (albeit not for much longer). I've been reading here for quite a while, including the General, M*Modal, and Nuance boards. It seems as if nearly everyone, everywhere has seen their work dry up in the extreme. At Nuance and M*Modal, of course, they reckon it's because it's all going to India, and all things considered, they're undoubtedly right, at least in part. However, it doesn ...

Somehow I have hit some key combination and mycomputer screens are now viewed on their sides. The top is to the right and the bottom to the left. Anybody know how I can get this back the right way? My neck is getting sore. lol I know this happened to me before, but I don't remember how I fixed it. ...

So I just moved into a larger place which allows for my very own dedicated office. Not huge, about 14 x 14, yet I find myself totally clueless on ideas for how to decorate it. I'll be the only one using it so I pretty much have free rein over how to fix it up. Would anyone like to share pics of their home office and pics of office equipment (computer tables, bookcases, etc) that you have or how you have fixed up your own home office? Maybe I can find some inspiration. We ...

I'm on my last report for the day and I can shut my computer off and forget about this job for a little while ...

I have been noticing for the last few weeks that my deleted email file is empty when I have NOT emptied it or deleted the trashed emails. Yesterday I went to my inbox and deleted several emails that I did not need. They went to the deleted file and today they are GONE. The deleted file is empty. Anyone else having the same issue? ...

I can't figure out what is going on here anymore. Tons of posts are gone. I can't get to the archived posts anymore. What's going on? ...

Becuase he had been started, about 6 weeks ago, on Abilify, he is also on lithium, this is for bipolar disorder. I know not to start with becuase.. I change to Since, but the whole thing still doesn't look right to me. ...

So I was at a local clinic today that had switched over to a dropdown menu system and templates for their doctors a couple years ago and had laid off their transcriptionists and the doctor was just typing away in his template and of course I had to mention how as a medical transcriptionist this really bothered me. He told me that many of the doctors there were unhappy with the new system and had gone back to dictating and that they were more than likely going to be hiring transcriptionists ...

offering a whole whopping 6 cpl depending on quality! Shame on you! ...

Hi! I have been a transcriptionist for over 15 years. I have only worked in a hospital and from home. The home job had been ELIMINATED, so I have not transcribed in about a year and a half. I have never had to figure my lines as the hptl or powers that be have always just magically issued a paycheck. Recently I was offered a PT job typing for a local clinic and I need work so of course I accepted and offered 8 cents a line. I know a line is based on a 65-char ...

After my company recently dropped my account by 1-1/2 cents, I have been considering either a job switch or maybe even an inhouse hospital position but the thought of it puts me in a panic. Has anyone else experienced that? I have been doing this job at home for 20 years and one of the reasons I love it is I don't have to deal with the politics of a work place or people in general. I was a vet tech before an MT so obviously I love animals and prefer being with m ...

Hello everybody I just got news that I failed my test with Precyse Solutions. I always seem to fail tests yet I have been a transcriptionist for nearly 20 years. I did have to leave two blanks because I just could not make out what one of the dicators was saying. I think I am just too stupid or something to pass a test anymore. I really need to leave my current company because it is afternoons plus they switched my schedule on me as far as the days I have to work. They told me at the time ...

After being an MT for 12 years and wanting to go back to college for the past 2 years, I have finally done it! I will no longer be an MT as of July 1st, and I couldn't be happier! I applied and was accepted to WGU and will be getting my BS in Health Informatics. This is a very unique program and my goal is to finish in a year and a half (I had credits transfer in which helps). Anyone who is interested in going back to college and wants to work in health care with IT, check ...

so far? I know it is intense, but hope you know that it will be worth it! I am glad to know that many MTs are coming over into the coding world. We need good coders out here! ...

So many of us have been "gobbled" up by Nuance in the last few years. So many of us are transcriptionists with specialized, honed skills, and those skills are valuable. Do not be deceived by a company who devalues your worth and causes self-doubt and continues to tout itself as the leader in the industry. I believe there are many facilities, doctors, clinics, etc, who do not want their work run through a computer to be deciphered. It may be time-consuming and seem like a fruitful task, but if yo ...

are MTs from India doing well? I was born and raised in the U.S., I was an English/writing major, and I'm QCd into the ground, which makes me wonder - how the heck are people from India and other countries doing as MTs? Can they REALLY do better than those of us who grew up speaking the language, have spent years doing MT, especially since some of us are English experts (and probably ALL of us are English experts compared to those in India)?! What is going on here, seriously? ...

I am just now getting to where I am not running out of work everytime I turn around. What in the world are they hiring again for??? Can't believe it! ...

99.7% accurate or get fired. How about this... I always start my evening by checking The Weather Channel's website. Amazingly, they had video of a ROUGE wave striking a diner. But it wasn't red at all! Finally, however, I checked back a few hours later, and this was finally corrected to a ROGUE wave striking a diner. Wonder what happened to the person who initially posted it... Has anyone ever read the Kornbluth story, Marching Morons? ...

Specs for each account that seem completely random, pulled out of someone's ****, and it's always some small problem constantly. I spend more time checking specs than I do typing. I'll never get off QA at this rate. I would probably like the account if I could get past all this picky this, that and the other. Date of service or appointment is wrong, then you don't get a template pulled in and have to type it all by hand??? ...

Hello Everyone: I am looking for any insight on this company. I am strongly leaning towards it, but I don't know anyone who has had experience with the company. Thanks! ...

I was an MT for about ten years before leaving due to pay cuts and off shoring. I watched my pay sink, begging for work, and became physically sick being an MT. After two years out, I miss being home and working. I am not asking for good companies but merely asking if it is possible to earn a living and be suppied adequate work as an MT....thank you ...

I am beginning to think that everything I know is absolutely wrong! I failed my audit, which is only the 2nd time in my 12 years here that I actually had an audit. I am being marked wrong for things like eponyms, which in BOS 2 is acceptable to use, but preferred to drop the 's, but is still acceptable. Also, for not numbering the diagnosis section even thought it was dictated in paragraph form. Is everyone being marked for stuff like this? I have a second job where I g ...

Grapes are one thing; a U.S. citizen's personal - information is quite another! nm
