as if I needed more proof

I got this email this morning - yes, he's threatening to sue me over my paycheck - Remember, he owes me $415: I have your email (received Friday 4/2/2010 at 3.30 PM) wherein you have agreed to the settlement offered by us. We are prepared to send your check for $171.00, as you have agreed to below, by Express Mail today so that you may receive it tomorrow. Finally, today I have received some emails from you that were sent to the Nevada Labor Commission among a host of other people.& ...

I was guilty of taking my audits for granted and putting my tail between my legs and truding on, thinking my situation was horrible and would never change. Then I read about many MQ MTs challenging their audits, calling QA on the feedbacks, keeping logs, keeping copies to compare before and after QA and today I had my opportunity to call them on a HUGE discrepancy! I got a score of 89% on a report, had 2 "critical" errors, had ALL the dictated headings changed, and added at the end of the ...

I'm too slow and have heard other people say they don't proof their work. I am so tempted but find too many mistakes to dare try it. I'm curious how many do and don't, how much it helps with line count (when you don't), and if there is a good way to train yourself to do it right the first time so it's not necessary. ...

elibility to work here in the US. What do they need to see to prove I can work here? ...

Maybe the company is going down. Post stated: Oh, and I understand that 100+ others received the same notification on the same day. Reasoning...none given other than it was an at-will company. Other employees were called out of client meetings to inform them that they were no longer employed...and this included all levels of employees - from managers to MTs. ...

I'm curious as to what your most effective way is to proofread reports. When the report is short, only several minutes, I don't have a problem listening to the entire dictation again and read back through what I typed, but when you have one that's, let's say, an hour or more long, I'm really cutting my pay in half. Do you go through the entire report while listening to the audio again, or do you proof two or three sentences at a time while still wor ...

The account I have has some extremely horrid dictators and about 75% are ESL. They were hounding me to get my line count up to goal. We can only edit as fast as they talk and none use the pause button, making our stats take a nosedive. The only way I could meet goal was to quit proofing at the end of the report and force myself to focus and proof as I go. How many oithers do this and what do you think of your accuracy proofing as you edit? Are their some dictators that require ...

My manager (not an MT) is challenging me on the method I proof my work. How do you proof? a: listening to the audio at a higher speed while you review and correct the text on the screen? b: print out on paper, read, and then correct on the computer? c: read the screen with no audio and correct as you go? ...

Just typed a letter to a peer review committee regarding a discrepancy in an operative report and a discharge summary. The doctor gave the explanation that it was simply a typographical error either from his mumbling or unclear dictation, and that the dx listed in the discharge summary did not make sense and he would not dictate that. Yes, he actually admitted it could have been from his mumbling. But, why didn't he catch that incorrect diagnosis when he signed the discharge sum ...

You all have helped giving me averages based on line output and cpl, but I know MModal is going to try to make it look like they're really giving us a good deal, and the hospital doesn't want to pay us unemployment. Where can I go to cut and paste something into a document that PROVES the TRUE amount a normal transcriptionist would earn full time? Anybody know? ...

When looking for a job and you're on unemployment and have to show proof of the job search, is it possible to use all these MT companies? I mean, we take all this time to submit applications and take tests and then don't get hired...it seems we could use them as job contacts. Has anyone done this and it was okay? ...

So hoping it doesn't come to this, but I'm thinking I may need to take someone to small claims court. Would my invoices work? Logs? Or do I need the actual reports and if so how does HIPAA play into that? Any advice? many thanks busybee ...

Failed another audit. Third failure in a row and worse than the last 2. Going slower, proofreading, trying harder does absolutely no good. Fooled by ASR a few times too. I am also sick of getting dinged occasionally because AAMT/ADHI decides to change the way something should be written. I have been transcribing for 30 years. I was so careful that, for the first time in a real long time, I have some makeup pay, i.e., I made less than minimum wage. Although I need to inform my QAM that ...

The company I'm working for has no way to verify my line count on line, nor do they provide a count on my paystub. I have no way to verify the lines they are paying me for. Is this legal? ...

It's just reorganization because of Nuance buying Transcend, as far as I can see, and we all knew that was coming. As far as MM buying Nuance, you have to be kidding. MM was just bought by Chase, and they are in bad shape financially. They (MM) refused an offer from an unnamed company prior to the sale, and that offer was much higher than Chase's offer, FYI. There was speculation that Nuance was the company, however, no proof. Nuance is riding high with Nina and everything else the ...

I am typing a new doctor. He said FBS is 150. ACBA1C is 5.9. Blood sugars are about 150. I know the A1C part, but was it ACB. He does not take a break, but runs ACBA1C together. Any help appreciated. ...

I was informed that some companies will train you, or fund your education, and then you work for them. Is this true? What are the companies? I am really interested in becoming a MT. ...

I have been reading your posts for sometime now and I can’t imagine how much this field has changed for some of you who are veterans. I have been considering going to Career Step through a partnership program they have with Fayetville Technical Community College. I would like some insight from those who are MT’s. I do not expect to make the salary I am making now working in the legal field but what I am looking for (besides wanting to get away from lawyer ...

Can someone please help me in finding out how I gain experience in medical transcribing. I have completed a career diploma program from Brighton College. Received a 3.945 gpa. If it wasn't for the fact that I love learning I would think gaining an education is a waste of time. Thanks for any input. ...

Hi any help would be so much appreciated! I am thinking of going into MT. I have done a lot of research, some (well more than some) is negative as far as gaining employment, but then there are the positive comments. This is something that I really want to do, so I am going for it.. Can anyone please tell me if it would benefit me at all to get an AAS in Medical Transcription or would I be wasting my time and money. It is costly. Thank you in advance to anyone who could help me out.. & ...

I came across a website this past summer from someone that posted on MTstars and cannot find it again. It stated that if you were a graduate from another school you could still take some courses or mentoring from them to beef up your resume. Please, if you know what I am talking about, let me know what it was. This is driving me nuts!!! ...

Sounds like LATROLOSE for a medication. The only PMH given is that the pt has a history of alcoholism. The only thing I can find that comes close is Lactulose and I'm pretty sure that isn't it. ...

I am working on a discharge summary for obstetrics by a Chinese physician and it is very difficult to understand him. In the HPI, he dictates what sounds like, "on the morning o addmission, the patient had a vaginal exam of 3cm-hand-placental cebo," I have listened over and over and cannot come up with what he might be dictating. Would anyone have an idea? I appreciate your help. ...

I am an MT student of At-Home Professions with a course completion of 76%, and have landed a temporary job with my primary care physician. The job entails transcribing 2,000 patient files for her clients as she closes her practice. I have been told the files will be relatively simple. However, being less than a Newbie I feel I need support and have been told mentoring is a standard practice in the medical transcription profession. Are there any old timers out there who might give ...

Can anybody help me out on numbered lists when there are sublists? Can't really afford time on shift to try to find the training for that part and listen to the slow explanation. Thanks! ...
