Spending the afternoon crying my eyes out - sm


Posted: Dec 04, 2014

Just so sick of the run-around by Nuance and the crappy speakers. Feel so trapped.

Rent Gone with the Wind .. do as Scarlet - does - especially the end..

Cry a little, dust off your skirt (or pants) and figure something out!!!

don't let them win or do this too you!

(I am working through the same thing myself)

Good luck!

Don't get mad, get EVEN! Get creative. - There are lots of things you can do....

Work slowdown, non-proofreading, intentional sabotage by mucking up reports and sending them through, even calling the clients and alerting them to what is REALLY going on behind the transcription of their medical records.

Or, just make it easy for yourself, and quit now. It's not like you're going to be making much more working for this unscrupulous company than you would being without work entirely. By not wasting 90% of your waking hours working for these fools, you'll have the time, along with the peace and quiet, to find a REAL job.

Don't get even by putting that patient in jeopardy. If you feel that strongly that you need to do that, just walk away. No one needs you to be so petty as to do that and screw with their life like that. Grow up or walk away.

I'm the OP - sm

I would never put a patient's life at risk, FYI. Thx.

Just fer-instances. So call the client and tip - them off, which will HELP the pt.

Already Crying...
May 06, 2015

First job of the day.  Shoot me now.  Too old to be crying....especially by some jerk.  What's WRONG with people?  Can't even say their name.  Have to bark it out and stumble over it 3 times...and it's their own frickin name.  And they can only hold the mike under their chin....UNTIL that they have to cough.  Oh yeah.  Make sure you get that mouthpiece right up there, buddy, for the cough.  And your d*mn cell phone is ringing!  Aga ...


Crying In My Oatmeal
Dec 02, 2009

My entire "pool" is completely and utterly out of work.  My sup emailed today saying we could plan a day off if we wanted.  Before you say it, I KNOW this time of year is feast or famine, don't need to tell me (I've been an MT for 15 years), but this is ridiculous.  Its been slowly dwindling since late summer where I was scrounging around for ANY SHIFT that would provide me a few lines, now its NOTHING. I have a backup job that is also empty, but for a company (MQ) that ...


Not On The Verge Of Crying, Tears Are Pouring
Aug 06, 2012

I have NEVER cried with a job before. Over 20 years in this world and it has finally brought me to this. A new QA/Team lead has now informed me that the specs are wrong and to do it like she says. Next problem, report had that a patient had her bags stolen from an airline. She had her "big bottle of narcotic pain medicine" in those bags. She called her pain management doctor as soon as she landed. He told her to go to the nearest ER. I could not make out the drug with 100% certainty, so I ...


So.... How Are All Of You Going To Be Spending All That
Dec 01, 2013

extra holiday pay you earned for working on Thanksgiving?  Nuance is so generous, aren't they, to make you work and to compensate you so well for your time too?  (insert sarcasm).  Hope it wasn't too bad for you ladies (and gents).  Let's hope they let you take off Christmas.  ...


Ok, All Afternoon...
Feb 19, 2013

All afternoon, the work trickled in, one job, nothing, one job, nothing...  Suddenly it jumped from around 500 jobs to over 1900 jobs in 10 minutes!  It seems like the work is given back to us when offshore is done for the day.  Then we get the cleanup of what is left.  So, is this company going to become a 2nd shift only job?  ...

No Work This Afternoon

First time I have truly encountered no work all afternoon.  I have had periodic times where for a little while I got no work but there has been ABSOLUTELY nothing on this account - it is making me wonder what is wrong.  I won't be able to make this time up so now I am out hours and ruined my Saturday.  Sent out emails and no response from anybody!!!  So frustrating ...

TTS - Pleasures Of Spending The Past 4 Months
Apr 03, 2013

The pleasures of spending the past 4 months being micromanaged at TTS has resulted in my leaving for greener or shall I say different pastures.  I actually am very glad I learned the eScription platform...it is a pleasure to use.  My account with TTS was a real plumb ripe for the picking...sweet and fast...really didn't have much trouble making 350 lph editing; however, despite hitting this line count, I barely made more than $10 an hour.  Well, this notwithstanding, I persisted working ...

This is so ridiculous.  Friday afternoon and no work.  I can't keep checking back every hour and do perhaps 2 charts and run out again.  Stop sending so much work to India and at least leave the US MTs something to do.  ...


Spending More Time Fixing Demographics Than Transcribing
Jul 14, 2010

I signed up for college this fall to get a HIT degree and hopefully get out of transcription. Seems I spend so much time looking up incorrect demographics, patient account numbers, etc., due to dictors entering the wrong information, and with the company I work for, it counts against us, YET we dont get paid to lookup demographics and fix errors, but its our responsbility. I am finding this so frustrating and spending 9 hours a day to make barely 90 bucks. ...


Sick To Death Of Spending Time Testing.
Dec 23, 2012

Why can't we do the test once (they seem to all be about the same) and have it posted somewhere centrally for these potential employers?  If you can't get footpedal to work with the transcription section it is a real time consumer and PITA. ...

Today I get the paperwork from the HSA that we had the option to join for the new insurance.  Included is a bunch of tasks they want us to hurry up and do (which we cannot do since they have not given us insurance cards and their website won't let us register without numbers off the card).  Also included is an "account fee and rate schedule".  They get to charge us $15 to set up the account and $2.95 every month thereafter.  They say this "may" be paid by our employer (y ...

Eyes Don't Want To Focus
Dec 04, 2009

My eyes do not want to focus today.  I have to actually think and make them focus on my computer screen.  I had to put my glasses on already today.  Does anyone else have this problem ever?  Is this an occupational hazard or is there something wrong with me?  I do work a FT job and a PT job totalling over 60 hours a week, maybe my eyes are just extremely tired.  ...

EZ Eyes Keyboard
Mar 26, 2012

I type many hours a day several days a week and usually use the old clicky keyboards but thought I'd give this one a try.  Don't waste your money.  It's smaller than a standard keyboard with big letters on the keys and it's so light it moves constantly. You nearly need to velcro it down.  The touch is hard, makes your hands very tired and the backspace is in an odd position to you constantly hit the wrong key or have to stretch your pinky out a couple of inches ...
