What do you do if you are typing on a document for 780 seconds and the dictator at the very end tells you to cancel this and erase everything because she already dictated it? In all my years I was lucky enough not to get this until now. I was thinking about sending it in anyway because I just spent all this time on it!!!! ...
I'm the one who walked last week. Boy do I feel better too !! My stress level has decreased to near zero. I have 2 interviews this week. If neither pan out, I'll find a job outside the house doing whatever. :)
My question is I had taken 2 days off last week (scheduled way prior to my quitting) so obviously my check will suck. I want to cancel my insurances ASAP. Who do I contact? Thanks. ...
This job is not worth the trouble. It certainly does nothing for me when I open the "paycheck" every 2 weeks and see that despite my 40 "power hours" every week, I made less than last time. No matter what, I cannot manage to make a decent living here any more. I am over it. Sad to admit, and yes, the shame is on me, but I do wish for NJA or even better, to be FIRED from this place. Just had to get this off my chest before I burst into flames of fury at the horrid qu ...
Hi, everyone. A year or so ago, I read a message by a former transcriptionist who had gotten into medical school and was at last working as a physician. I'm sure it's still here in the archives somewhere; please forgive me for not digging it up. I remain grateful to that poster to this day. Yes, even if she was making it all up! It still inspired me so much.
Last month I began work at only the second job I have ever held outside the MT field. It took me seemingly forever to find it, a ...
When did this get scheduled? Just noticed it.
We will be performing emergency maintenance beginnning at 12:00 pm Eastern 3/25/2010 and lasting for up to 10 minutes. There may be a brief interruption of some services for DocQmanage and DocQscribe users. ...
I lost the printout I had of the dates--I know it was something like just about every other week--and was suprised by tonight's maintenance. Oops. Thanks in advance! ...
I'm in PST (pacific standard). I was thinking this BST could mean mountain time? BUT, the time isn't correct, 5 am Eastern time wouldn't be 10 am mountain time...Hmmm. Let me guess....is BST a time zone in INDIA????
I know, I know, so what's my point. Sorry, don't have one. Just sayin....... ...
Just wondering if they are still going to do the maintenance. I would think not because of yesterday, but you'd think they'd take the note off the website. ...
I'm interviewing tomorrow morning with Amphion. Even after all of these years in the MT business, I admit that while I'm excited, I'm also a bit nervous.
Has anyone else interviewed with Amphion recently and can clue me in on what to expect? I was told the interview process would take about 30 minutes but no other details.
Thanks for any input anyone can offer :-) ...
beginning tomorrow, I will be working any time, any day, whatever it takes to get my hours/lines in. There is work in the afternoons and on the graveyard in my region and I will be there. Whatever it takes. ...
I turned in my resignation 2 weeks ago and my last day is tomorrow. No more nagging about line counts and MUP when they can't even pay me minimum wage (although mine is the second highest in the nation). I've done this work for almost 9 years now and have enjoyed it, but the pay is just getting too low and I'm sure I can find something better in another field. Good luck to you all. ...
my new life of not dealing with trying to produce a medical report for a MTSO to look good and make profit. How things have changed in the medical world and it is getting ulgier by the day. The demands put on MTs are totally unreasonable. I am walking away because of retirement and I am thankful I can. I honestly do not know if I could survive under the stress of trying to produce perfection for such minimal pay and know that a MTSO is making as much as me for each line I ...
Well, everything is all set. I have all my reservations and my travel plans set. Leaving tomorrow at noon, meeting the team on Monday morning at 8:15. I'm scared to death!! Besides this being my first filight EVER, I'm nervous about the second test that I'll have to take - I'm hoping that I pass!
...
I work on Saturday second shift on the west coast, so their Sunday EST maintenance period falls at 9 pm on Saturday night here. I've got other things to do on Saturday day than start work several hours early every single every other weekend. I've got a social life too. ...
So... I've been at Medquist for about 6 months - I was a new grad so I only make 0.05 a line (I know, I know, save your comments about that people!). I actually have really good accounts so I never make less than $12 an hour so at least I'm not making minimum wage. But anyway I was wondering if anyone knew what people with a year experience start at and what my hopes are for raises in the future. Surely they can't pay me 0.05 forever, right?? right??? ...
He says "I have ordered blood tests to rule out the possibility of an inflammatory edemunothologic condition."
Any idea? I'm starting to lose it!!!!!! ...
I am no where near as experienced as some MTs even though I have been transcribing for 12 years. Problem is, I have only done ortho. When my in-house job went with the service, I went to. Then my work was offshored, so I moved to a different company, still doing ortho, and making better money, about $40,000 a year. Now the company has lost that account and I am unable to go with it.
I have been switched to an acute care account (clinic work only), doing VR. Can any ...
Hi, I did do as someone suggested and contacted via email Erin Brockovich, but we have to understand her organization does deal mostly with environmental litigation. I did try and summarize our difficulties and requested if she might direct us to an organization who might help us. In listing our complaints I found they were too numerous to list, and since we are virtual, I was not clear as to whether we could prove some of my/our accusations.&n ...
Well, just quit Nuance. Can't believe I made it nearly 2 years, after being at OSi for 5 years. They sent all my work overseas and there has not been any work there for the past month! After reading many many posts here I thought MT days were over! Then a job came up, I replied and for 2 weeks I have been working for a small local company, no VR, you can copy and paste for your lines (instead of it being against "HIPAA policies" per Nuance!) and what...a local Englis ...
I left an MTSO that started off okay to begin with, but the honeymoon ended shortly after with a barrage of e-mails to speed up, slow down, work more, longer, etc. I didn't realize how much this all stressed me out until I stumbled upon my new job which is THE most amazing company I've ever worked for!
The pay is twice what I was making at my previous place. NO ESL, VR, only straight typing. Most importantly, an amazing caring and understanding TL. I am left alone to do what nee ...
