So, do you think Medquist will change their name? - Since they bought out Spheris?
Posted: Jun 07, 2010
They always have in the past. Medquist/Secrephone merge became MRC Group. Then MRC Group and Transcription Limited became Medquist.
Since Spheris was bankrupt and every one knows Medquist and they were number 1 and number 2 big companies, I am wondering if they would change their name. Last time when the company came up with the name Medquist, it was done by a contest and the employes had to vote for the new name.

how about US MT SOL - NE MT
[ In Reply To ..]We all noticed the mousepad didn't have a logo on it, I thought it was because they got them cheap off Overstock, but maybe you are onto something with a potential name change in the works. Did anyone notice on TM's email she used the phrase Together We Can? Oh yeah, totally barfarific.
NE MT - im withchoo
[ In Reply To ..]OH! BARFARIFIC would be a GREAT NAME! p.s. TM was probably referring to the suits when she said that! and, she probably meant something like "together all us suits can make even mo-money!" yuk yuk. (sorry for the tone, I've got NJA...)
MQ name change - Nick

MQ new name - planetspinz

Sex Change
Nov 22, 2009
I love typing up extremely large reports on a patient with a name that can be either sex (with no info in ADT about the sex either) and then at the very end of a report, the dictator saying: Ya know, this is a male/female rather than a female/male, please change things around in the report.

Why Would MME Change
Feb 10, 2010
mom to mother on a VERBATIM account at every instance of dictator clearly saying mom? Is there something I am missing? I wish they would leave some kind of note stating why this was changed. Client profile clearly states "this is a verbatim accouint" and "type as dictated." QTL does not answer email. I usually ignore these things, but sometimes it is hard not to get frustrated when you leave 1 blank and get back several corrections for this kind of stuff. Thanx for th ...

We had management changes over the weekend for my new account and the new manager sent out e-mails today that we have to get new e-mails, must start using some probably crap butt IM program (I HATE IM!) and they insist that if your account runs out of work that you wait 10 minutes, then e-mail them then wait up to 15 minutes to see if they can find you some work before you can move to your secondary if that account has work. Meanwhile that means 25 minutes of no pay time waiting around for ...

As far as the sound, I never thought, after all the years I've been doing this, that we'd still be contend ...

In your opinion would the courses there be suffice to work as a MT? For those working as MT, what do ...

Has anyone else had the call from CCM asking you to switch shifts or to move to graveyards? What have you done?

They said they will float me to other BOBs in order to keep me busy when they run out of work in mine. The only problem with that is that it will bring my wage ...

Billing Change
Jun 13, 2011
I'm now transcribing directly into the EMR for my client now, and therefore, cannot charge by the lines anymore. The only thing I can think of to do is charge by the megabyte. I would put the whole billing period of voice files in one folder, click properties, and there would be my total megabytes for the billing period. I played 8 voice files that added up to 27.81 minutes and 2.95 mg of voice files so it seems safe to assume 1 mg = 1 min of dictation. At $1.85 per me ...

Job Change Opinions

I am working for a large MTSO FT, and am considering going to PT and taking a side job at a local tiny rural hospital, which pays by the hour.

The reason I'm thinking about this is partly job security -- not having all my eggs in one basket. The other, is less stress at leas ...

google "TAA petition" and read the website to start one against MQ for displaced workers since they are sending all the work to India, especially those displaced due to buyouts.
