exactly the same on every report and you have put his ROS and PE in your abbreviation expander, but sometimes he will dictate something out of order.

Just had to share this. An ad on the local radio inviting "everyone" to a seminar to become a "medical transcriptionist. Earn more money working at home than in an office." I laughed. I would definitely have gone, but unfortunately it is at least 1-2 hours away on a working night. How I wish it was closer. I would have love to have gone and given them an earful.

Whatever she's called. I never talk to her on the phone because she is much more interested in what her kids and dogs are doing than what I have to say. She changed my schedule by phone one day, and then called me the day after I was off to find out why I hadn't worked the day before. I went part time and sent her an email with the request, worked the new schedule for over a week before she called me to say she had to evaluate my request for schedule change. Tol ...

I was looking at glassdoor, where you can see reviews of different companies. I was looking to see if there were any reviews on M*Modal. AND there are. The majority are bad -- really bad.
