Specialty Survey

What is the best paying specialty to get into? I want to get into a good specialty but I want to make sure it is a good paying one if there are ones that pay better then others. ...

When an ad says Specialty: Any. What does that mean? If you have only done Radiology for years and only 2 or 3 years of acute care 20 years ago, would you feel comfortable applying for something as vague as "any specialty". Has anyone out there applied for a job specialty they have never done and still got through it? thank you ...

This is for an allergist/immunologist. "History of venom allergy. She is essentially skin-test negative today. I will need to check a s/l "raz" test for confirmation." ...

Does anybody know which MT specialty offers the best pay rate? I was told by one of my instructors that pathology and radiology were this highest paid MTs around. Another instructor thought that specializing in OP reports would offer the greatest income potential. Thanks ...

I have a pt with "EA" that I am trying to spell out in the assessment but I am not able to figure out what this could be for this pt. I know the pt has anoxic encephalopathy, dysphasia (or could be dysphagia-could be either with this pt) aphasia, respiratory failure, pneumonia. Any suggestions what EA could be in this pt? ...

I am a big cardiology buff and would love to do only cardiology transcription. If anyone has knowledge of places that have a lot of cardio accounts, would you be kind enough to point me in their direction. You can e-mail if you don't want to put names in open. I can offer help in return too as able. TIA. ...

Hey I am possibly going to interview with a Cancer Institute and I have no experience in this area. I am a 7 year medical transcriptionist and had a 7 year job in a small pediatric clinic for 4 doctors. What should I do to prepare if I work here and what things should I study and bring with me to work if I get the job? ...

how do you transcribe specialty names? Gastroenterology vs gastroenterology, etc. Do you always capitalize? sometimes capitalize? if so, when? thanks! ...

There's a site I'd been referencing for a long time when I couldn't find a doctor through Fluency, which is often. It was always easy, user friendly and reliable, and I could usually find the doctor I was looking for under his or her specialty. Now it's been changed to a newer, sleeker pretty look, but the format for finding a doctor doesn't work and is not helpful at all. For instance, in looking up, say, Pulmonary doctors, it shows an assortment of doctors of variou ...

I am interested in learning how many currently practicing MTs struggle to get their lines in due to their being "no work available." Do you find yourself out of work and having to try to make up lines outside your usual schedule? Only occasionally? Often? Every day? Seldom? Never happens? Thanks everyone!Mary Optional data: ...

to spell the abbreviation of subcutaneous? is is subcu or subcut? i have this argument every time with QA. could i get someone to help me please? thanks much in advance!!!! ...

If people were sincerely honest, it wouldnt change anything! ...

Just read through the survey without answering the questions. Waste of time! No matter how many of us answer it and regardless of what we say, after it is all over they will tell us that MQ employees love the company. This is just a way to try to placate us and make us think that our opinions count. You can all take turns flogging me if I'm wrong. ...

I am an MT who has been around for 14 years with this company and I have my gripes like all the rest of you. I took the survey and stuck it to them when it mattered. For example, when they ask if compensation encourages people to do their best, the obvious answer is "strongly disagree" right? When they ask if compensation is clearly tied to performance....again "strongly disagree." Whether our answers matter or not, it's our opportunity to vent our frustrations with ...

I had so much fun using words like despicable and abomination that I just couldn't help myself and filled it out 3 times. I expect when all is said and done they will tell us that the vast majority of responses were positive and almost everyone loves the company but at least I had a few minutes of sheer enjoyment. ...

Wonder when we'll see the results of the survey! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! Ya, right! As if they would be truthful about it anyway! ...

That the enhanced compensation is in place, we have been BOOSTED and we are one big happy globally rebranded party! Whoo-hoo! ...

Like the opinion of a lowly MT/ME even matters. They are going to do what they want regardless of our "opinions." ...

But really,what hasn't? Seeing lots of posts from 60+ and wonder what is the average age of MTs. I will go first - age 61. ...

Before the new pay rule game, I made 7.5 cents (3.75 cents for editing). Then when this new pay game started, I made less at 7 cents. However, I find lately I've been actually making noticeably more money with this pay game. You just got to keep quality and pending to QC under control. In fact, I think I now make a few hundred dollars more per month, if I keep it up, keeping quality up and QC pending down. I know some of you were actually paid 8 cents (4 cents for editing), so there is ...

Just curious. I'm about to unload on it, but wondered if anyone else did?? ...

For those who are comfortable sharing this info, what is the pay rate for VR (as opposed to straight typing) and what is the average amount of lines one can cover in an hour at MModal? Thanks for your help. ...

Question: How many MTs really need their jobs and how many just do it for a little bit of extra pocket $$$ (have someone else in the family who is the main breadwinner)? ...

I wonder if we're all going to be forced to become CMTs? That would be a great way to get rid of a lot of us. ...

Every time MQ sends out a survey they use it to justify a pay cut or cesspool or other "great" ideas. They twist the results of the survey to fit their agenda and then say- see the MTs agree that ASR is better or they are sick of running out of work. JMHO but I am not filling it out so they can use my answers to make my job worse than it already is. ...

Less than 10% of us have taken the long, boring, unpaid survey about your latest software tweak. Maybe its because we're sick of giving you unpaid freebies! Enterprise sucks. Until you get better programmers it will always suck. Any time we report a problem the IT desk diligently finds ways to try to blame the MT's internet provider, or any other way to pass the buck they can scrounge. There is no point in giving feedback when nobody fixes the obvious.&nbs ...

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. ...

Is this survey mandatory? I have only been with KS a few weeks and really like the company and account I am on, I don't really have any ideas for changes ...

Specialty Survey - Meh

To slow you down when they need to and to speed you up - as well when they need to

To avoid frustration, do not answer honestly.. - That is what I did.
