Will this help struggling American MTs?

Afro pertains to a "hair style" usually worn by black people or African-Americans. African-American refers to a group or nationality of people whose decendants originated in Africa. Has anyone ever been corrected on that when getting audited? Just curious. I see this a lot. P.S. Not trying to stir the pot or offend anyone so please, no racial slurs or offensive posts. This is a ligitmate question. How do you type it? or do you think it matters? ...

I am just getting torn apart with my VR. I have never really worked it before and just started with a new co that wants you off qa the first week. I am missing a lot of small words . Any suggestions? Or am I just not cut out for it? ...

I found this on the AOL home page this morning and after this weeks check, felt some of may find this handy....... Cheapskate that I am, I shop one of two discount chains for staples every couple of weeks. On my latest trip, using off-label brands, I put together the following shopping list and menus. It's no-frills cuisine, and I use that term loosely, to be sure, but that's besides the point. It's a survival diet for someone on a constrained budget.So hold your nose, cruise the ...

I started with a new company 2 months ago. I've never done speech editing until now. The headers are confusing but I make lots of notes, try every day to do this right. I'll think I've done a good job but the next day, there's my reports showing mistakes. I'll have multiple reports with A's but it only takes 1 or 2 C reports to bring down my average. I'm not new at this, 30 years experience but I'm having second thoughts about ...

I'm a recently graduated MT. I started working almost as soon as I graduated. I decided to work from home for pretty much the same reasons as everyone else. But I also, unfortunately, have a problem when it comes to interacting with people, whether it be customers or coworkers. I have a tendency to say the wrong thing, even though I don't mean how it comes out. I'm very introverted and have a lot of social anxiety, so this exacerbates the problem. I thought all of this could be re ...

It is really difficult to tell about the right ventricular impulse, but he has struggling s/l cicention at 90 degrees. ...

Have been on E5 for a year and unable maintain 186 lph. This is the first time in my 20+ years as an MT that it has been so hard to reach the required lines. Today I forced myself to sit in the chair and moved only to go to the bathroom a couple times, and a 1-minute stretch every hour (timed). Still only managed about 170 lph. The audio is pretty bad on my accounts, but still never had a problem with lines with poor audio at prior jobs. I do tend to double-listen now when there is a hitch in th ...

Hey all. I just started at Nuance on 11/18, straight outta school, although I'd done MT before getting formal instruction :( ANYWAY...I like working for this company, and I have 90 days to get my skill set up to snuff. I've made progress, %-wise, like 98.37% but am still making dumb errors and getting not-good reviews. Does anybody that's been doing MT for a while remember struggling in the beginning? I'd love to hear a story about triumph over ad ...

As posted in a previous thread, due to over hiring, the rules for QCs have been changed and we are being closely monitored to be sure we have our LPH at the right level. Why does it seem that, if you are struggling with that and doing all you can just to keep above the cutting point, that all of a sudden your email is FULL of Fiesa errors? I HATE Fiesa with a passion. I see those emails and just want to throw my hands up and quit. I am already on edge with worrying ...

Is anyone else struggling with quality. I just can't keep up with the 99.6 and now 99.7. I am on my "Written Performance Management" and know I am on the chopping block. I am honestly hoping for unemployment and going back to school. Would be nice to know I am not alone....this is too stressful!!!! ...

There are three areas where many MTSO's run off the track: 1. Poor recruiting, hiring and training practices. 2. Poor supervision, from poor selection of supervisors to lack of training for new supervisors to failure to supervise your supervisors. 3. Inadequate compensation. Notice that I didn't say "not having the highest compensation". Between "inadequate" and "the highest" there's a ton of room for ALL of you to improve, but you must AT LEAST co ...

can someone please tell me how or if there is a way I can get Shorthand to jump to end of word, insert comma, go to next word? Sorry if I'm not making any sense! As in a list of medications the VR is not putting in the commas and it's slowing me way down trying to ctrl right arrow backspace comma ctrl right arrow. Working in M*Modal based program. Thanks very very much! ...

After years of worrying and struggling to make ends meet working here and part time at a 24 hour store, I've decided to take my daughter's advice and move. I applied for jobs in San Antonio and found an actual transcription job IN A HOSPITAL! I'll be making a better than decent salary and will be getting actual benefits! I'll be moving in with my daughter and her BF for a while, but we'll be house hunting soon as my place is sold. I will also have the time now ...

My place of business has switched from a very streamlined transcription system to one that is VERY subpar. Process to complete just 1 document is as follows: 1) When a new job comes up to be transcribed I have to first adjust settings and choose clinician, patient and corresponding DOS, type of document/letter, etc. Then I have to work simultaeously with MS Word open - go to my template in Word (cause I had to make ALL NEW templates when we went to this new compa ...

Hello all my fellow transcriptionists! I love this board. I have been coming here and reading most of the messages here for many years now, even though I haven't really been a 'medical' transcriptionist for about 4 or 5 years now. I love all your comments, feel for you when you share your frustrations, and gain insight into the changes that have continued to happen with medical transcription (in particular, with the MTSOs). I am heartbroken for the many of you that are work ...

I have been here for two years and it seems like I am just struggling to make line count every pay period. I feel like I am walking up a hill in a big wind storm, moving but not really getting anywhere. I work nights and I am getting too tired at night. I know most of this is my fault, but worked as an MT before and did great, no problems what so ever and great pay. Does anyone else feel like this? ...

any help is appreciated. i checked the archives but there is nothing very current. ...

Hey, Everybody: In the spirit of solidarity, if we want support for our cause, then we might want to consider supporting other industries in America. There are places to "Buy American" on the website. We shouldn't support Big Box Stores that import everything and make a killing as well as treat their employees like chattel. You know who I am talking about. If we buy into the theory, "Oh, but it's so inexpensive to go there," then we are just as bad as the tran ...

When doctor says: "Patient is a native American" should native be capitalized? (BOS says to capitalize tribe names, but that doesnt answer this question.) Thanks very much. ...

Okay, so are there ANY companies that are actually owned by Americans who live in America? Everyone says they are only hiring from within the U.S., but that doesn't mean the owners are American. Someone here said one company (Diskriter?) was purchased by "an Indian couple." Why wasn't it purchased by an American couple? Why aren't Americans buying MTSOs? What's up with that? ...

This past week it seems all I have got to transcribe are foreign docs. Some are not too bad, but some it is just plain torture to listen to. What is going on? Also this is the first time I have not been able to pay my bills with my paycheck. It is so depressing. Just had to vent. ...

Is anyone on this board a member of this medical transcription organization? If so, has it been beneficial to you? I am asking because I am considering joining because I like what they say on their website. So, I am just wondering if it is worth the money to join. Any and all responses appreciated. Thank you in advance. ...

I've talked with several MTs recently who work for different companies. The companies have to send out reminders to the MTs that they are supposed to be at work at specific times. They also are having trouble with MTs just taking off without arranging for coverage of their accounts. The list goes on and on. What bothers me most though is the attitude of workers. Work was not easy years ago, but people did it with courage and integrity. You don't see much of that anymore. &nbs ...
