... the e-mail purge: of course they don't want anyone to be able to point out all the inconsistencies in every single policy, account related or not, over the long term. been with the Q since '01 and always thought anyone complaining on this board was here to do just that. but i stand corrected.. on the same account since '02 with so far 5 (or maybe it's five) different account managers, and every time a new one comes along, turns out i've been doing everything wrong ...

I have a psych doc who always says "the patient was less complaintive today." I've changed it o "the patient complained less today." But the doc sends the report back for correction and wants the word "complaintive" which is NOT a word! I've been giving it to him, but man it drives me crazy. I have an ortho doc who ALWAYS says "all were in agreeance" and I change it to agreement and so far so good, but he is still dictating agreeance. ...

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

Everytime I do this doctor's transcription (ironically he is a pulmonologist) he snorts phlegm in the back of his nose right into the microphone and will even cough from it sometimes because he does it so hard. Tonight during an 11 min. dictation by him, halfway through I had to get up and run to the bathroom because I was gagging. He did it 5 times in the first 5 min. of the job. I once reported a doc who uses voice recognition and apparently did her dictation on her lunch break WHIL ...

I'm sure that the bigwigs at MM are very aware of the many disgruntled and downright angy posts on this board in the past week or two. It's sad that no one in the head office has addressed our concerns, either with a company-wide email or even a post on this site. It confirms that we are truly at the bottom of the totem pole and that they just want results, not happy employees. ...

but it sure leaves us short of work. But, hey, at least she gets her bonus. ...

I am currently awaiting a call from my boss about going salary for my position as an MT, and I have no patience , so just for fun I googled "how much salary does a medical transciptionist get paid" and I clicked on this link to one of those question/answer sites where someone asked about the average transcriptionist's salary, and what I read made me sick. This person wrote a huge answer about what is to be an MT and how they get paid and such. This person is claiming essentially they ...

I can't take much more! I didn't get a single bad report on FIESA for 2 weeks. Then they did that evaluation and wanted me to change my shift, being really nice to me. I changed my shift completely this past week. This week I get hit with 7 reports with numerous critical/major errors that I really do not remember doing at all. Then I get nasty emails because I had been an hour short last week and the importance of working all my hours during my s ...

Please to explain why we have to be physically talking to a Support person in order to claim time in Webclock? Even if there's no conversation going on, they are still in the computer "attempting" to install or whatever it may be. We are still unable to work, obviously. Odd how some will say, oh we can just stay on the phone while I'm doing this, while others say they'll call back when done. Prefer to stay on the phone, it's more interactive and proper (and we should be getti ...

I agree that the MT biz has become extremely hard and frustrating, but I am copying and pasting something I read below because if I had responded to that, it would have been lost, as messages don't get updated on this board, and I would like other's opinions. "You are absolutely right. I had worked for a couple of other good companies before going back to MQ, and found that the "experience" I got from MQ was not very good at all. The new companies followed the Book of Style 3, w ...
