Please explain someone. I am not getting time and a half from their calculations. By law it has to be. From my calculations and comparing to the old method, it is not time and a half. I'm very concerned with this. ...
Any long-time MTs (over 30 years) having chronic neck/back pain, hand pain, wrist pain, migraines, etc., ever had luck at filing a workers comp claim? ...
I am part time but not flex. I wanted to go flex but my CCM told me that they no longer had flex positions available. This was probably 2 years ago. How is everyone part time flex? ...
Thought that after not having enough work for a couple years now and always chasing work, I'd now have a "real job" as an employee and wouldn't have to worry about a steady paycheck and paying the bills anymore.
The reason I thought this was because at the interview and in their professional company emails, they use all the "real job" words: Shift, scheduled hours, overtime, PTO, benefits, etc. I felt relieved to finally have a "job."
What a big bunch of BS! I was "hired" ...
There is much speculation about the field of transcription - how many of us actually plan to be here 5 years, 10 years, 20 years from now. I realize that the field is going to change, which will contribute to your answer. Will there be enough transcriptionists/editors to fill the need in 5 years and in 10 years? Will the industry be forced out of offshoring because of taxes? Will there be a need even for editors if VR gets better? These are all unanswered questions, but my question is, what ...
Lately, I've been getting legal notices mailed to my home from I believe the east coast somewhere informing me of a class action lawsuit against M*Modal and inviting me to joint if I have a claim. I don't think I have a claim, but then again with all the shady practices in this business, I'm not so sure. I'm just curious what the heck is going on. Anyone care to give me the lowdown? ...
Ive never not given a notice, but I interviewed today and might get the job. You all know the deal, I just can't afford to work here and they want to fill the position Im trying for immediately. Do you think after only 6 months, I have to give them a notice? If so, how much of one? It feels so wrong to just up and quit, but I can't pay my bills! Another 2 weeks, or even one just puts me further in the whole. I made more on unemployment! ...
13 jobs in 2 days. Love it! Make sure to put it in Remedy though so they can keep track and work later hours when jobs are there. Sorry, that's not an option for me. ...
Im loaded with work, over 400 jobs on the system and i just dont feel like doing it. How's that....sell off my work hahaha, act like MModal and let someone else do it for "half".

Dictated: and if he does okay, will send him home.
ASR: he had a dislocation of the long pants array.
So close ASR, so close!! American doctor, no accent, clear as day. But thanks for trying
If it was an occasional thing, I could understand but seems to be getting worse rather then better. ...
If your glass is half empty, read on...
It’s those rose colored glasses I wear, I guess. Just trying to reach out and have an open dialogue about the future of our jobs and the way we’ve been treated.
If my posts irritate you, move on, but why attack? Couldn’t you use those language skills you have for something other than pooping in your own nest? Animals don’t even do that. I thought we were all in this together.

Why is it that MTs (especially the ones who are starting out) have the opportunity to transcribe dictated reports from doctors that sound half dead, like they are using their last breath to dictate a report? It's amazing to me when QA tells me that they can make out everything these doctors say.
What do the more seasoned MTs think about this? ...
explaining why I billed what I did on an invoice. This MD pays by the hour. He set the hourly wage and now I have to justify why it took as long as it did. This is a new physican whom I have worked for for only 2-3 weeks in a specialty that is new to me in a state I don't live in.
Anyone else ever have to do this? ...
Yeah, it came in like:
"Within the belfry San Francisco heated the tripod and pumpkin blazed with endometriosis...."
The WHOLE report didn't have three words consecutively that made the least bit of sense or had anything to do with what was dictated.
"Fix" it? You gotta be kidding. Wipe it out and transcribe as dictated, you mean. Oh, and here's your half line rate, thanks!
You SR transcription companies MAKE ME SICK.
...
My line count per hour in this new system is what I used to straight type an hour? I have been a transcriptionist a long time, makes no sense. I am so sick of this, its nauseating to be put through this degradation. ...
