When was it they "capped" our pay, giving most of us a pay cut? I meant to write it down (don't know why, but I usually record these things), but I never did and can't find the cheery e-mail informing us of our "new" rates! I have all my pay stubs, but they're basically indecipherable.
Anyone remember what month that was?
...
They made a point of saying they can't pay us for doing it. Golly, we couldn't expect them to do that! They need every penny to gobble up more companies and for suit bonuses! ...
in order to be hired. I tried to do this, taking it to a notary, who refused to sign it, saying they "don't do that." So now I may not be able to get the job because the company requires this. What have any of you done? I went to a notary at AAA...maybe I should try a different one? Ugh..... ...
Okay, dictator is terrible. Had to send to QC. Please tell me how QC can fill in the blanks. NO WAY. I have been doing transcription for a long time. Why can they guess at what is said and we can't. If it isn't 100% clear, it should be left blank. QC shouldn't be able to fill in what the doctor "usually" says. If you can't hear it, DON'T FILL IT IN. Maybe if they got all of their reports back they would try to do a be ...
I am taking PTO for Christmas and the day after. I have worked Mon and Tues of this week with no real problem and have gotten in my hours. Of course, because I have a cheesecake and other things to make later today, I get on this morning and there is NO work at all. I wil try to get in my 8 hours for today, but what if it just isn't there? I have no PTO time to use for today and I am NOT working tomorrow or Friday!! So, my week will be 8 hours short o ...
Someone please set me straight if I'm wrong, but it is even possible for a child (or anyone) in any case to have a hematocrit of 340?
A dictator said: "hemoglobin 15, hematocrit 340" It really sounded like he said 340 but that didn't sound right to me, so I left a marker. But it was filled in with 340. I could have done THAT. I guess I could be wrong--but in my 10 years as an MT the hematocrit is always just about 3 times the hemoglobin (which ...
Perusing the latest TSM diatribe too many work tickets means we need to change our schedule to one more fitting the needs of the accounts. Also if we fill out a work ticket we are not allowed to finish our current shift, we are done for the day. If we choose to make up those hours it has to be from a list of available shifts. So for the 50 cents or so I would get from filling out a work ticket why would I purposefully put a target on my back regarding schedule changes, end my shift prematurely ...
Well here we go again, fill in the gaps games in our POD. Nope, no way, and if they change my schedule one more time to any later in the day, I'm gone. Done playing their games. Hire more people, stop demanding mandatory OT, and give actual bonuses and this would not be a problem. P.S. Don't expect me to cover other "groupings" gaps. I already work the weekend and late Friday night (still working), only have 1 full day off a week. No threats to "chan ...
How do you fill out an application for Digital Transcription Services? I've been over their website and only found career opportunities but nothing about the application. ...
Cant believe the crap they are dictating today..Must be the solar flare. they make up drug names that could be one of maybe 3 possibilities..Im pretty sure I know which they need but Im not the DOCTOR,,I just play one on the computer..Im leaving the blanks let them figure it out..Do your jobs correctly for a change..Kind of makes you scared to ever have to go to a hospital for anything. ...
"I reviewed the CT scan which was done on the 8th."
How do I transcribe 8th? The patient's last visit was 6-4-10 so I assume the scan was done in June. Since it is not my job to assume, how do I transcribe this?
Thank you!!! ...
VR is such a bad joke, I've corrected such stupid mistakes it's not funny. It can't even get the date right, always is 2013 instead of 2015. Seems like that's a no brainer. Guess not. Just needed to vent. ...
Does anyone know if there is a new rule in MQ land about never writing out the date, always making it numbers only? I get back reports every once in a while with all the written dates crossed out and replaced with numbers yet the CP does not specify either way. So, when a doctor states March 3, 2010..that is how I type it, if he states 03/03/2010, that is how I type it. I am going to complain to my manager about this but I was wondering maybe I missed a new rule. Tha ...
In transcription, when a doctor dictates 12/4 or December 4th what is the correct way to type this? I need this information when I'm taking a test to find a job because the doctor has not been giving the year and from what information I've read I should type out the date as December 4th??
Another question I have is on a test if the doctor transcribes out of order such as first he says medications, and then next he says social history, and then next he says chief complaint, do ...
any MT's that have worked outside of MT industry ever been with a company that posts pay 5 WoRKInG days after the pay period ends - say HOLLA! MY company treats me sooo well! --- and then do tell us all what cocktail of medications you are on. Cheers. ...
Archives are divided -- half happy and treated well and doing the work they expected to do, paid on time, good benefits. Other half got jerked around a bit, given different kinds of work than expected, said line counts are incorrect, missed a couple of paychecks (which is strange since they do direct deposit - maybe they didn't back then.) Thanks. ...
Time zone isn't the problem. Time displayed for a ticket matches my time zone.
The date is tomorrow's date, and you can't enter today's date for the ticket because it won't accept a ticket date prior to the 'expected date' (tomorrow). Can't change the expected date field either.
Guess I should have filed my NJA for today yesterday ;) as there aren't any jobs for me today.
Cover my butt for the mismatched date of NJA versus the true date ...
I started the application for Q.E.D. Transcription and saw that the initial section requires a birth date. It won't stop me from applying, but isn't that a form of discrimination? I wish the MTSOs would at least provide a secure site when they require personal information such as physical address and phone. ...
I have just recently accepted a job with keystrokes. I have read all the information on the archives. Is there anyone out there who has any recent information on this company? Appreciated! ...
I'm new to SS. This is only my second pay period. My first paycheck was direct deposited last time. Weren't we supposed to get paid today? Just wondering, because I didn't. ...
I recently acquired a dictator who wants multiple dates in EVERY report. In the past I had just typed out entirely. I am sure there must be better short cuts for doing this than I am able to think of. Any (alpha only) suggestions appreciated. IT is my expander.
Thanks! ...
Nasty virus going around that attacks your internet explorer and basically will only let you go to 1 website, the site to buy the antivirus to take care of the problem. When I called support they just took my address to send me a new computer. Just a heads up to you all. Oh yes and this was with Kapersky already installed. ...
