A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry

Came back to check on this and main - Board

Posted: Sep 04, 2013

And found I still need my hip boots on for all the cr** that's on here. Never seen a more depressing, hateful, self pitying bunch of people in my life.

And you just have to sound off and make everyone feel worse! - GoodGrief

It might be that many are a bit depressed with the reality of the situation right now, but it doesn't mean they aren't working hard to rectify their situations. Many of us are currently striving to improve our situation. Honestly, though, can you really say things are good? Jobs are still being off shored, automation is taking over many jobs, and many haven't had a raise or even steady pay for a heck of a long time. Plus, it's not easy to get back out of this "career."

We almost all work in isolation, so this is one of the few places where we can sound off. Nobody makes you come here and nobody makes you read the board.

someone who would visit this board and think those people are crazy, losers, self-pitying, depressing, etc. Then guess what? All the bad stuff they were complaining about started happening to me. I wouldn't wish this mess on anyone, and maybe a few escape unscathed, but there is absolutely no reason to think that what people are complaining about here is only some sort of mass delusion.

Newton's III law of motion "For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction."

What were the adjectives used to describe posters on this board?

Depressing, hateful and self-pitying?

What opposite force coudl possibly have created this phenomenon? Hmmm, I wonder. Could it be the self-loving, self-serving, self-gratifying ever-so-proud of themselves greedy MTSOs?

No, it couldn't be THAT, could it? LOL. Pardon me, my sarcasm is showing.

Please ignore this post. - NM

Don't worry, none of us will feel at all upset if you choose--sm - anon

Why don't you go back to your cave LE and do something constructive for a change.

I tend to agree with you. - nm

Something is seriously wrong. I am very rarely OOW on my main acct, especially on Friday nights.

Either work is very sparse or too many people are in my account flexing from earlier in the week. ...

with a link to the Dept of Labor. I encourage all of you to go check it out and write to them if you feel moved to do so. Maybe if they get enough inquiries about this company, someone will take a look at them. All I want to know, bottom line, is if they can legally do this, meaning cutting our line rate in half and our produced lines in half and then further reduction for what they deem as quality issues (which is very subjective in the best case scenario). It would be n ...

On the main board there is a message titled "Gotta Vent" and the following replies regarding coding have made me sick to my stomach, especially because a couple people stated seeing their coding departments wiped out by the EMR systems. Could someone shed some light on this? I am in a coding class now and I am not feeling so hot....but be honest. Thank you! ...

We recently had a new account start and the doctors often do not dictate all the main headings of the template that loads. The hospital keeps changing their mind as to keep it unused main heading in versus take it out if not dictated. Typically, I have always removed it if it was not dictated. But what do most of you do? Thanks for sharing your experience. ...

I am wondering why in the past 2 months or so the VR on my main account has become worse than when the drs were first VR. I am finding myself typing more than 50% of the supposed VR instead of just editing it and dropping my paycheck even further. This is very frustrating when you are stuck on a VR for triple the time or more of the actual audio time. I proposed this question to upper management and their response was that they have no idea why this is happening, but they are seeing this a ...

Does not surprise me.. the Canned reports featured in EPIC I am sure will take over to completely do away transcriptionists. Clearly healthcare is okay with homogenous reports that really are not particular to the patient, just trying to stay within the slimmest margin of the law. It's like legal liability insurance...the bare minimum required. ...

What is going on with those main terms? My coding textbook keeps wanting me to identify the main term, but I can't figure out which one it is. If you can find something under three different words in the Alphabetic Index, how do you know which is the main term? The one I choose is never the one the book says is right! This is frustrating. Does this mean I am not cut out to be a coder? ...

This is quite the eye opener and may explain why a lot of us are running out of work. Part of the problem is the complete mismanagement by TSMs and COMs, but the overall issue may be that EPIC is growing by leaps and bounds. It does not bode well for us MLSs. ...

I read with interest the article contained in the post on the main board because it occurred to me that this is the only industry I know where as an employee, for most companies today, Nuance not excepted, you accept a job and then you, the employee, provide your own equipment, you pay the expense to have your computer repaired and when it is down you are not paid for the downtime, you pay your ISP internet charges (which can be costly if you are running extra turbo charged service to meet minim ...

Hello, I would like to transcribe from home again. However, I HAVE to get up and walk for a few minutes at least once an hour. You see, I had to have 2 back surgeries in the last 18 months. I've been a transcriptionist for many years and this is my profession. Does anyone have a suggestion what to tell these companies that will hire you to work from home when you have to get up so much? The last company I tried had a "pop-up" box that appeared on my screen if you were up longer than 10 min ...
