and then the finalist gets another shiny $100 gift card! Put on your "Quality Eyes" and let's all get busy writing!! Yay! Rah M*Modal! Seriously, why do they even bother with MT week? They don't give 2 rats' patoots about us. Why pretend?

They already know who is going to win - anon

At least that's what I believe.

$100 that will be taxed at a high rate - just saying

They keep the charade up of pretending like they care because there are always people who enter their dumb contests. Then the essays become company property which Shaw then turns around and peddles as his own innovation. Think he came up with those tips on his own?

I'm looking forward to winning again - this year,

since they raised the quality requirement, but with Shaw's productivity tips, I just know I'll have my productivity up again in no time. Thank you MM!

Debbie, you are my inspiration! - I am going over

What are Shaw's Tips? Where do you get them?

Do not forget his best one- send it through - no editing

Per his latest tip: Because ASR has been drastically improved we only require you to delete the demographic info at the beginning of the report, spell check and submit. No need to edit! This should all help you double your line counts and increase your paychecks.

For all those who cannot figure out this is a fake tip - this was meant as a joke.

Just like "Debbie" is a fictional character - It was a joke, folks

Last year, several posters on this board came up with the "perfect MT" named "Debbie" who was saintly & perfect & who would surely win the MT week essay contest. To the Above Debbie, if you are real, my apologies...

I exist only in the mind of - Shaw... Deb. NM

takes exerpts from ASR fixed and unfixed (so they cant id the patient),,,post them on FB. People are under the impression that voice rec is the greatest thing since sliced bread..show them otherwise..

Unfortunately if you post them on facebook, it is immediately taken off their page so you would have to keep putting it up. Would love to do that.

I would like to how you became coders? I saw someone went to Andrews, is that where most of you went? I was a coder at a local hospital about 12 years ago. I was taught on the job, no schooling at all. I know things are changing and have changed significantly since I coded, and the way it sounds ICD-9 is going to ICD-10. What suggestions would you give someone like me? I also did transcription and have been doing that for the last 25 or so years, but I do not like t ...

Hi All, Some IC questions for all you ICers out there.... 1) I know cpl is a 65-character line by most standards, but how do you calculate headers and patient info such as DOB, PatientID#'s etc.? 2) Also, how do you write a contract up for places who want to hire you as an IC? 3) What are some of the most important things to include in your IC contract in your opinion? 4) Software...do you need "platforms" such as everyone talks about on these forums that they use for th ...

This is specifically for ambulatory care MTs. The axe has fallen and it will probably get worse, if that is possible. I got out a month ago and am I ever happy that I did, after hearing what the new exciting changes are. But I started applying, testing and even trying out other places months ago, and it took a while to finally find a good small, keep-work-in-the-USA and care about our team company. Start looking now, because the resumes will be flooding any and all good-s ...

I was an MT for 14 years with multi-specialty experience. I have been out of the field for 10 years. I am interested in getting back to it. I have some questions: -Should I work on Certification before finding a job? Should I get Registered before Certification? -What equipment/software is generally being used this days for at-home/contractor? -What is the average PPL? -How does straight transcription compare to VR editor as far as pay? -Right now I live ...

I've never been paid by the line. I have over 10 years radiology experience, and this company wants to hire me with radiology experience at .07 per line "to start".....is this decent pay?

I am so very excited to FINALLY be getting back out in the work force. I tried to hang on to being an MT as long as possible, have been job jumping for some time, but thought it would get better. It never has, for me, and I know it's time to move forward and be able to once again ...

Does anyone know of an MT company that employs full-time workers that are employees rather than independent contractors that pays 4 cents/line for SR editing and 8 cents/line for "regular" transcription from the very beginning once they hire you (rather than at Nuance where you have to "earn it" to go from 3.75 cents/line to 4 cents/line? How about 5 cents/line for SR editing and 10 cents/linge for regular transcription? Or is there no such thing? ...

OK transcriptionists.......We are all in the same boat that seems to be sinking. I am throwing everyone a life preserver. I know I can offer the doctors out there an easy way to dictate that is "clear, understandable, personable" (with transcriptionists assigned to their own personalized physicians). This is the way I have done this for 20 years. It worked great. I have a connection that will integrate transcription into the EMR that they are using. When I spo ...
