So, I get on line looking at news about MQ. Then I look for new job postings. Even ADHI sent an email about new job postings.
I found out a coder can make from 15.00 to 20.00 an hour. I found a full time MT can make 24,000 to 38,000 a year. Some MT positions are 11.00 to 14.00 an hour and then some were 12.00 to 16.00 an hour.
THEN THE ULTIMATE! I find out there is a company in the United States who finds jobs for non-United States citiziens. You should see ...
IT IS A WEDNESDAY! I always have NO JOBS AVAILABLE Wednesday morning or hopped around on another account.
Now I have 20 reports waiting for me to type and not one person is on working, JUST ME!
We started LOCKOUT TODAY. ...
herbalist/naturalist reports on this one account! I can type pretty much any lab or drug without having to look it up, but all these weird supplements & brands I've never heard of & strange tests. I feel like a newbie again! Taking way too much time. ...
I notice some mentioned Verizon down below. Also noticed a post about Comcast a few days ago about having issues.
Downloading the reports are too slow this morning. Had issues last night too.
Even have issues getting into MQCentral and trying to email support. Also slow getting into MTStars and other websites. The green bar below, when getting on a website, displays almost a full green bar, but seems to get stuck right at the end.
Anyone else having issues ...
This one particular account I absolutely despise. The dictators whisper. Even with the volume turned all the way UP, it is a struggle to hear them. Have reported this too many to count times with nothing being changed. What a bunch of garbage.
This job just keeps on giving. ...
It all started approximately a month ago with a note from CCM saying she was going on vacation. Not a word from her since then.
Letter from corporate saying I had a new CCM. Wrote that person and got a reply that she would like to help me but I wasn't hers!
Been well over two weeks since any word from QATL.
I was on lockdown, now I'm not.
I'm still on the same old accounts for the most part, with the same old CCM listed, but nobody seems to know it. LOL
Anyo ...
I just put some things together that are enlightening. MQ/Spheris has 12,000 MT's in the U.S., not counting those overseas. Transcend has 5,000 MT's in the U.S. and another 1500 in India. Webmedx has 1200 MT's. KeyStrokes has 600 MT's. TT has 200 MT's. Softscript has 200 MTs. NEMT has 200 MT's. Transolutions, or whatever they are called now, has 300 MT's. Medware, again not sure what their new name is, has 3 ...
How can we edit/transcribe if the volume is highest on the computer, ear phone amplifiers are on, and we STILL CANNOT HEAR! If it comes straight typing and ASR cannot pick it up, why in heaven's earth does the doctor think I CAN HEAR. I cannot! Are these docs being passive aggressive... Oh they don't realize?! That is just MEAN, CRUEL. Forget that I have to make a living wage, but think about just plain RESPECT.
This vent brought to you by me getting too ...
There are a couple of dictators whose grammar, pronunciation, and enunciation is so poor, you wonder if they actually need a translator in order to speak to their English-speaking patients. A translator that can translate poor English. That translator would be bilingual, that is, English-speaking and poor-English-speaking. Yes, it seems "poor English" is also a language of its own that only those who speak it can understand. ...
I mean seriously this catering to their stupidy is starting to get old. Granted they aren't major errors. But, my theory is if they cannot give me the courtesy of even remotely completing a sentence, much less a paragraph here lately, I am sending it through. I know I can look at the repository and figure most of the stuff out, but that is a guess at best and not a chance I am willing to take with patient care. Sick of it!!! Unfortunately, my main offenders are 100% QA accounts so QA f ...
I'm trying to get an answer from my CCM regarding foreign doctor's dictation and this 5% QA submission. I type for two separate teaching hospitals and are constantly getting new foreign doctors, 3/4s of which cannot even speak English. I won't matter if I got copies of every single report they dictate, there would be no way not to send these reports to QA....are we getting any kind of special consideration towards our QA submissions for these doctors? My CCM I don't think has ...
Can anyone tell me if there is some sort of formula for pricing out the finall editing of a DragonSpeak report? I am assuming that it would be much less than if it were priced for typing the entire file.
thanks,
bill ...
They expect us to understand their Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, Hispanic accents when they can't even put a simple English sentence together! The hospitalists are the worst. I think they hire them right off the boat from their overseas countries and put them to work in the hospitals-- probably as cheap as they can get them, and then put them on VR. My MTSO increased their line requirements for this year and with over 30 years' experience, I struggle ...
How is it that they expect such a high level of skill but want to pay us as unskilled labor? I am so ticked listening to this one foreign idiot - I am typing it just like she says it! I dare them to confront me about it? You want it cleaned up - pay for it!!! You want it to sound intelligent? Pay me more than a high school student! ...
About half of the dictators from my new account are Indian, most of them mumblers, so I'm going crazy. They can barely speak English. Wondering why there are so many Indian dictators here? ...
Hi all,
I wanted to share my current situation. For the past 3-4 years the doc I work for (I am an IC but have had an acct with this same physican for many years since I used to work in his office as an employee) has periodically told me and the full-time lady in the office that we may be losing our positions due to cutbacks in transcription. I also transcribe for another family doctor in this same group and probably half of my lines come from him as well. There was an office ...
