Are we tired enough of ISR? - Getting old
Posted: Jun 26, 2012
Are you as tired as I am of making dumb little corrections in the ISR system? This morning, I am spending all my time “uncapitalizing” regular words in the middle of sentences. Where does it come up with the underline in the middle of laboratory values (1._4). It adds a colon after dates and this morning the abbreviation, MD, is after some of the headings. There are no paragraphs. I delete numbers in a list because they are never right and it is easier than going back and changing them. I won’t even get started on some of the bizarre things it comes up with. They aren’t “ISR funnies” to me. I would like to propose that next week, for two days, Monday and Tuesday, July 2-3, we bombard ISR Help on the Community page with every report that we have to correct these mistakes – the kind that the system is “learning” to make. I don’t have the time or the heart to spend all my time letting ISR Help know all the time, but if we did it for two days, or even one of the two days, maybe they would know that we are getting really, really tired of this mess. If you don’t feel that you want to do this, please don’t flame. I don’t have the time or the energy to defend the idea. If you like the idea and want to participate, just “like” and we will know it’s worth a try.
Good idea - Thanks
[ In Reply To ..]Think it's a great idea. Anything to get Puke-ance to make our jobs easier. They don't care to make anyone's job easier unless all speak up. I know exactly what you're talking about.
ISR Help - mm
[ In Reply To ..]Don't mean to burst your bubble, but are you sure ISR Help is still being manned? I was told that when we moved to this new *great* VR system that it would basically do away with the need for human intervention on their end.
Also, I think ISR Help and the Community Page may only be available to former WMXers ...
Again, not sure about either of those points. If anyone else knows anything different, feel free to correct me.
Never heard of ISR board - former OSi-er nm
[ In Reply To ..].
ISR Help for former webbers...has a computer generated reply - Getting old
[ In Reply To ..]You might be right about no human on the other end. Anybody send anything lately and got a reply from a human?
All these corrections means job security for me. nm - nn

Almost everything I read on this board expresses a common thread of disgust with the Q. If you really hate that the work is going to India, if you really hate that MedQuist is a greedy heartless monster, and if you really despise what is happening to our medical records because of this company, why keep helping it out by staying and helping them make more money by paying slave wages? I see these words and phrases: unethical, greedy, corrupt, lower and lower wages, wor ...
So Very, Very Tired Of This

I do not like working this late. But, this is generally when the work is available and I understand that it is my best chance of getting work. Not very many people on my account on a Monday night. I see 23 reports, op notes, that are easy lines, require an insert, and right when I am about to begin to be able to download them, all of them are gone. This happens all the freakin time. Somebody had to pull and assign them for them to disappear in a chunk like that.&nbs ...

I've been feeling the desire to hang up transcription for good..tired of the nitpicking..the no raise in pay..the feeling of being anonymous..etc...put application in at the hospital. Yes, I have loved being at home for a really long time now but getting to where I just hate this. Is there life after transcription? Suggestions appreciated! ...

Testing And Tired :(
Nov 29, 2009
It is getting very hard to even find the energy to test anymore. I have tested till I am blue in the face and dont understand why it is so hard to get a job in this profession. I graduated top of my class with a 3.98 and you would think I would have had a job by now. I did not think it would be this hard to land a good job but wow this really is a hard profession to get started in. I seem to do well on the test and dictations but they always send me emails telling me they have already filled th ...

Does anybody know of MTSOs that don't require transcription testing? I'm so tired of spending time testing only to be offered very low cpl in my opinion. I've been an MT for 20+ years and am trying to find a part-time job. However, all this testing is really starting to wear me down. Aren't there any MTSOs out there that just call references anymore? I'm an IC and have lots of references and regularly do fill-in ...

I was recently laid off as the account I was working on went to India. I desperately need to be working as I have 2 kids to support. I was offered a job at 0.03 a line editing. I am debating whether I should accept this as it falls under the heading of a job is better than no job and waitiing in the employment office really sucks and unemployment only pays $300 a week and this has to be more than that, right? So my question is, do I take thiis and if so what kind of ...

mixing up the words "offshore" and "outsource." Outsource is what the hospitals do when they send transcription to M-Modal or whomever. Offshore is when it goes to our "international labor partners" in India. Outsourcing jobs we can live with; offshoring is starving us to death. Get it right already!!!!!!!!! ...

Tired Of Getting Talking Down To

anyone else tired of being talking down to by their QC, so sick of it, they act like we are babies and they are the only ones with knowledge. So we make a mistake, their mistake in this company if making the point value so high on silly things, but there again that is one way of getting rid of us and giving more to off-shoring. Just tired of it all but looking every chance I get. And I guess the higher ups who get copies of all the QC emails probably are eating it up when they ...

reports today with static.

That makes no sense. Some reports are clear as can be. If it was my headset wouldn't all reports be bad? I just did a report that took me forever and I had so many blanks because of all the static in it ...

I sit here 16 hours a day practically waiting for a job or two, anything. I have been applying EVERYWHERE but no jobs. I am so discouraged. We're slowly sinking but all I hear from who I work for is, "it's just slow right now." Slow doesn't put a roof over my head. I ask I just needed to vent. What are ...
