Could someone explain the reason we went from working as ICs with our own accounts to MTSOs who pay half that? Was it the cost of EMR software? If this is the case, why do we depend on MTSO's for work when we can download freeware that enables transfer of sound files and Internet transfer of files back to the doctor? Where did we go wrong?

The cartilage graft was then placed in the region of the s/l squ-ti-matic to cover this defect created by the atticotomy.

I get a pop up that says my current DQS log in has expired and the system will shut down.
Then it shut down on me. I was TYPING at the time.
I swear, if I log back in an all that work is gone, I am going to go ballistic on someone!!
Has anyone else had this happen? ...
I just read a rather crypic e-mail which indicates this is the case, though no clear reason was given as to why. It may be that at least some of the TSMs knew this was coming, which is why some of them have been so unpleasant lately. ...
Guess we will have to wait and see. Tuesday 3 hours of work because of doctor's appointment and could not make up time if there was any work. Today second job, cannot make up time. All morning no work. Will have to work more hours at second job I guess. Retail, not guaranteed hours but better than what I am getting at MModal. ...
I personally know someone who works as a middle manager for Nuance, makes well over 50,000 and has had constant raises since being hired. From what she tells me she is very effective, but even the other middle managers who are not at all effective with huge make up costs and teams who fail audits constantly do not get terminated. Plus, they do not have to be MTs. They just sit in their home office and write rah rah emails to their team to keep them going and make sure they cove ...
been here just over 5 years, passed audits, no issues, then 4 verbals/write-ups in the last 3 months. How do you deal with that....I would consider MModal a hostile work environment. ...

"And the driving force behind the losses is just as troubling. Given that the ability to find a new job is almost nil in the miserable job market, workers are feeling trapped. (For example, the quit rate has hovered at a very low rate since the recovery began.) That gives employers huge leverage in pushing their employees to take on heavier loads without higher pay."

If no noun following such as female or male should this be hyphenated,
i.e. if stated "A 10 year old has stomachache".... should it be

I am checking out my community college catalogue and getting excited at so many interesting courses. I'm not looking for a long, drawn out process or degree, just some subjects that will be fun, creative and could also translate into making me more marketable. As an MT, I lean more toward writing, computer, and maybe even something medical, as opposed to something like car mechanics or accounting. Any ideas? ...
Doctor says: "He is a 40 ish year old white male in no acute distress."
What is the right way to transcribe the 40 ish part? I've seen a lot of different ways. I was thinking "40-ish-year-old" but not completely sure. TIA for any help! ...
Hello fellow MQ MT's,
Does anyone know if we get paid time and a half for New Year's Day? I've looked up and down on MQ Central but can't find holiday pay listed anywhere.
Thanks! ...
I spent the morning reflecting and trying to figure out what to do and where this profession/company is heading. In doing web searches found that MModal is opening up yet another center in Mysore, India and hoping to employee 500 employees. I guess I am trying to figure out if it is indeed cheaper to employee Indians than US based employees after all the perks the Indians get like healthcare for the whole family including parents until they are 80, gym, free transportation, the cost ...
My daughter will be driving and I can leave transcription/editing ! I just hope there is enough work to last that year. I love working at home. I've worked with some mean office women before who are backstabbing and downright evil, but at least I had security in my paycheck and paying my bills. This job has been great as far as being home with my daughter when she gets out of school and being home when she is sick, but now she is older and when she starts drivi ...
Besides issues with a company that seems to have workflow problems and therefore tells the independent contractors to not work on their scheduled days because the work is low or on another day is sending e-mails that there is extra work and everyone needs to hustle , there is now a notice that there will be an adjustment in line rates. Of note, this company does not pay the highest line rates to start with. They want a schedule and we're expected to be available AND must produce a min ...
I'm only staying this year for the insurance. I'm pretty sure they won't be able to offer it so cheap next year. Then I'll be free to do whatever I want. ...
Does anyone know personally of any MT who makes $50,000 a year or more? A college recruiter called me at home one night and asked what I did for a living and when I told her I did not make that kind of money she said "I was told most MTs make around $50,000 a year. Only in my dreams. LOL. ...

After surgery, if his symptoms do persist, we may want to obtain an MRI and s/l "dem or even them" _____ test in the future.
