Whenever the word "present" is dictated, we automatically get a bolded heading: "HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS:" Can anyone explain how the program is "trained" to do this. Kinda scary!

While I am enjoying all of the new posts on this board, I have to admit it's a lot to read/take in! As a recent coding grad who passed both the CCS and CPC, I just want to say good luck to all the new posters in your coding studies. It won't be easy, but you can do it! ...
Shows how much mental health has progressed over the years when this ad shows how much they care. One would need a psychiatrist in thinking that this is a great job...oh, and if you don't pass, you are lucky to wait 6 months to take it again. Sweet! ...
This is a rad/onc report. Here is the sentence:
"...woman with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer with neuroendocrine features, EGFR _________ wild type."
The blank s/l either "and AOK" or "NAOK"
Any clues anyone?
Thanks in advance :) ...
I think I have found my out of MTing finally. I am going to try to be a home health aide. It is perfect for me in every way!! I am just so excited! ...
I found the below on the Company Board, and wondered if this could be true?
... Because you've already put in your 40 hours. It is illegal to change your timesheets so they don't have to pay overtime. If they can't give you sufficient work and keep hiring people who take your work away from you, find a company that will give you enough work. Save the emails and send them to the department of labor. ...
I just found out that even though I am doing the minimal required lines (120) I am not earning minimum wage and so even if I increase my lines I won't make any more money....Until I am typing over 160 lines. I am so angry. Now they are pressuring me to get higher lines so I can get out of them paying minimum wage. Which is insulting in itself. I am going to try to do it and then be a benefited employee. But I am just angry that 120 lines doesn' ...

I have been in this (medical transcription) boat for a long time. I have enjoyed it and been able to support myself. The last few years I have been stubbornly trying to hang on and "ride the waves", but have finally gotten it through my thick head that this is NOT working for me anymore! I hate what this industry has become!
Anyway, was looking on the website of our local technical college, and I think I have found something I may be interested in. Going to lo ...

Just for the heck of it, I went to the resume section of this board, and noticed there were quite a few MTs with "entry-level or less than 5 year's experience" wanting to be compensated 10-15 cpl -- I really seriously doubt that is going to happen, especially for a "newer" MT. I would suggest that if you are really serious about finding a job in MT, then revise your expected compensation rate to something a bit more realistic. ...
I also posted this on the main board, but here goes.

In my quest to improve SOMETHING, I stumbled across "job burnout." I think it is my problem and wanted to share.
"A strong signal that the burnout victim is sliding into an existential crisis of meaninglessness is evident when the person's statements about work are cloaked with a "so what?" or "why bother?" attitude. This is particularly striking among burnout victims who were once very enthusiastic and dedicated."
There is some very good information and might be helpful. At ...
I put my resume up on one of the resume sites and it had an area where you could find out what the local and national average salary of whatever career you are in. I typed in Medical Transcriptionist and my area. Locally, I should be making $38,600, and on a national level I should be making $39,000! Are any of us anywhere near those numbers??? I sure as heck am not! My mouth would be totally shut if I was making that. I know there are people who definitely ma ...
Time to do something, nja, not enough money, will not allow me to schedule so I can find part time employment to supplement. This company is abusing us without question.

I was looking for job openings at our local hospital and it's a long story but, found out that they have taken their transcription back in-house. Too many mistakes, not enough quality work, bad turn around times, et al. I am applying today, in person with them. I will offer to scrub their floors if that is what it takes to get back in to transcribing. I know folks who work there and they get a very fair wage, benefits and time off! ...
I agree with her 100%.
There will always be more of us, and we really could make a difference if we would just band together.
I have always wanted to start a new association for MTs-AMERICAN MTs.
Don't let them win. ...
a nonMT job!! It is at WM. As much as I hated WM, if they give me a job and I can earn a straight, steady, hourly wage, I will be SO grateful. After being dumped on and treated like an idiot for 18+ years, I am almost out. I sure hope so. I need this so bad. ...
I saw this post while doing a little research into the field. The company is not named, but the location was given as Franklin Tennessee. Hmmm, I wonder what company that could be.

for example, even though the dictator is obviously finished, so you upload...but if you don't listen to the very last millisecond the report will autopend and that will count against your QC.

I always thought that companies paid for PTO based on an average of your last 3-6 months production.
I just found out that my company pays by the hour! This means my PTO for a week will be half of what a I normally make?
Have you ever heard of this? Is this the norm? ...
that due to the problems of the Kapersky program they are not pushing the remaining few of us to install. I spoke with my CCM yesterday who told me that almost everyone was up on Kapersky at this time. However, there are still some of us that have not been contacted to install due to major problems it causes running MQ programs such as ASR.
Personally, I was not happy with McAfee even in its advanced stage. So I purchased on my own Microsoft One Care Live (I got permison ...
retirement hut. It is on the inner island. If it makes you feel better there is no tsunami and/or hurricane season in this area of the South Pacific.
Bunion, I was not sure of your island preference, water, beach or inner island hut. There are plenty to choose from.
Shipwrecked, you may have NJA tonight (I have it almost everyday as well), but it won't be long before we say "Q who" and move into these huts in paradise.
