T minus 6 minutes and I'm OUTTA HERE

Only warrants periodic scans. If anyone comes back at me for that, they can listen to 64 minutes of nothing themselves. If the doctor dictated, too bad he did not follow protocol = put the dictation on hold when not dictating or hang up the phone! ...

It appears to be only counting the active time to be the actual time the audio is playing and not all the time I spend in ADT and formatting. Looks like they may be manipulating the figure to ding people "for not actively working" for long periods of time. Hmmm, building another way to fire people? ...

Just wanted y'all to know that I lasted all of 4-1/2 months with this company. I've been in this business for 30+ years and have never, ever worked where things were as crazy as they are at MedQuist. Good luck to all who are successful as employees here. For me, I'm outta here!! Life is just too short to put up with their crap. ...

Found another job. Boo ya nuance! ...

I think the straw that broke this camel's back was when someone suggested those of us with legitimate medical issues regarding the snowflakes leave until January. I believe the specific quotation was something like "See ya!" Well, no you won't. I had hoped to be able to contribute to the community and to develop some friendships on this board when I joined up, but I am taking the hint that I am unwelcome. Despite the low pay, I love what I do. Because I love what I do a ...

Hey Everyone! Yesterday was my last day with the Evil Q. I've had a non-MT job for a couple of months and I was finally assured it will be permanent and I gave notice. I've been with the Q for 10 years. Like everyone, I saw my paychecks dwindling and could no longer make a living, nor could I afford more of MedQuist's "experiments" at my expense. I saw the writing on the wall years ago and did nothing because of a fear of leaving and thinking things ...

Which is preferred? I find equal validation for both. ...

Ever have one of those moments where you just can't remember how to type something correctly even though you've done it hundreds of times before? A simple little thing like "plus or minus". Is is spelled out or written like this: +/- . Sheesh, I'm having a Monday on a Thursday! ...

The patient is 8 days postoperative left great toe amputation. The diagnosis is s/l osteo minus left great toe. TIA. ...

In some sentances they say 5 out of 5 to muscle testing, sometimes 5 minus out of 5, or 4 plus out of 5. I am not allowed to use the + or - sign. I've got the 5/5, but is it correct to put 5 minus/5 or just type out 5 minus out of 5. ...

Does anyone else have this rule with transcription? I was told a while back and cannot remember where I heard it that you are not to use plus or minus signs anymore unless using them for actual math. For example, positive bowel sounds instead of + bowel sounds, or +2 pedal edema should be plus-2 pedal edema. ...

I have looked everywhere trying to figure out how to transcribe. I got the pT1mi and the ER/PR. It's the n zero I (eye) minus that I don't know how to write. Also, if you have a site that is very detailed for cancer staging, etc, please leave me a link for it. ...

Hi, I just had this dictated: "...minus two to three degrees of extension..." My account is strict BOS 3. I'm not sure how do transcribe it. -2 to 3 degrees -2 to -3 degrees Help? Thanks! ...

Are there any companies that pay minutes or line count whichever equals the most? I have docs that leave a lot of air space on voice files. ...

Instead of wondering how many LPH one can do, I'm wondering how many minutes of editing a person should be doing in an 8-hour day. I'm asking this because this is a discussion in the company I work for right now. Thanks for any helpful replies. ...

did anyone log in after 15 minutes after scheduled time and still got in? I downloaded a job right at the very minute my shift should have been over and it still let me download a job. Just wandering if i can take an extra 15 minutes logging in at my next shift and still get in. Did not get a straight answer from ccm. She just said it will allow you 15 minutes ahead of time but nothing about logging in 15 minutes after. TYIA. ...

Can't work, can't make any money to pay light and internet bills so I can work! ...

There was a story on the people who lost their jobs. They have COBRA, but there are no jobs, unemployment pays $200/week or so, and COBRA insurance costs $1600/month (I can't remember the exact amount). So they are jobless, losing their homes because they can't pay their mortgages, moving in with other family members, who also have lost their jobs, and of course have no medical insurance. My heart went out to one woman when she just cried out that she didn't know where they ...

then maybe 1 or 2 short jobs and then NJA again - do we have to wait another 15 minutes or do you count the prevous 10 minutes of waiting and just wait 5 more minutes. I could go on all morning with waiting 8, 10, 12 minutes, then get 1 job, then wait 5 minutes, get a job and so on and so on. Should I just add the total wait time until I get to 15 minutes or do I need to have a solid 15 minutes before I can log off? ...

I am just getting back into transcription, and I forgot something. I am an independent contractor, and I want to work 5 hours a day. Roughly how many minutes would that translate into so I can ask my coordinator how many minutes to give me each day? *I know it's different for everyone, but I'm just looking for a rough estimate. ...

in the north region, anyone else? This is getting old! ...

Didnt sign off fast enough, couple more just came through..darn ...

Does anyone know about how many minutes the average radiology transcriptionists types? ...

How long does it take to transcribe 75 minutes of dictation? ...

how do you know you've been paid that time by looking at your pay stub? And does it show up on your time sheets as an adjustment by your CCM? The reason I ask is because I don't believe I have ever been paid this 15 minutes of time (the waiting time when we get NJA). I asked about this recently. I asked both my CCM and payroll, and my question was never answered...it was just swept under the rug as if I never asked. I am planning to call the labor department about this becaus ...

73 freakin' lines because of the way the dictator did. Very slow, lots of stopping and dead air, repeating himself. In fact, he dictated the Impression 5 times and would say correction and start over. He even had the nerve to laugh and snicker and said "to start over again". Wish I could reach through the computer, down all lines to wherever the **** this jerk is and rip his tonsils out by hand without anesthesia. ARG. Glad I'm done! And he is a ESL ...

What could "insilun" be?? She was conscious immediately after the fall but became lethargic over the *insilun* minutes... Thanks! ...

Does anyone know what 100 minutes of dictation equals in lines per 8-hour shift? ...

they send out email asking us to give up our weekend time to help out??? Uh, I don't think so. ...

I waited for 14 minutes with NJA and then 1 job came up at 14 minutes when I rechecked. I did that job and now I am again waiting now for 6 minutes. Can I count these minutes together to report NJA or do I have to start counting over again each time I get 1 job? Thanks! ...
