Had to give it up after almost 17 years. My wrists are shot (CTS) (surgery failed to help) and have cervical radiculopathy (numbness and tingling in arms and hands constantly and shooting pains up forearms). Went on Work comp then SSD. Get out before you ruin your health. It's not worth it. ...
I read the post below from the MDI/Transcend MT who is struggling with BeyondTXT. When I was informed last week that this platform was going to be installed on my computer in a day or so and then training would take place for God knows how long, I hung up during the conference call and immediately resigned. I had started another job, which I was going to give a trial period before leaving Transcend, but I realized that taking the time and effort to learn this unfriendly user pl ...
Hi all. I've been doing medical transcription for over 20 years, and have been with the Q for almost 12 years (the first year in the office and at home, and then they sent us all home). Been through all kinds of changes, from working in the local office and at home, to working at home, to being moved to the responsibility of another office, to that office closing down, then to working for a "virtual office" and finally a "service area." I lost count of how many superv ...
Just gave my notice! Working for the Q was just too stressful! Pay was crap, hours were crap. I couldn't take it anymore! I went from an awesome job making about 25 bucks an hour with great hours to the Q? My other company closed down (it was local) thanks to EMR. I must have been desperate. Just accepted another job for better pay and better hours.. ...
I thought I found a good company to work for until I got a two returned checks from them in the mail. The first time I thought mistakes can be made but AGAIN my check was returned. That really upsets me because I work hard for this company and they give me a bad check. There is no excuse for doing this to an employee. I have not been contacted about this check and I just quit because enough is enough. This is very dishonest and unprofessional to say the least. I have a family to take care ...
I sent my resignation letter to my supervisor. I am getting out before they completely destroy my self-esteem and physical health. I've had enough. ...
....an episode of supraventricular tachycardia. The episode was a few hours in duration. He developed chest pain and dizziness. The electrocardiogram was caught by the rescue squad. The heart rate was about 220. I assume that the rescue squad gave the patient (s/l) a-dem-a-see. ...
giddy and dancing around the room. At the last second I tried to cancel the e-mail, but it was too late. Guess it was meant to be. I have been with this company for 8 years, and they don't deserve me any longer. ...

when there was no work ... how about, "it is too sunny to work?" LOL
They are still running the ad portraying outsourcing as evil. You'd think they would know the difference between outsourcing and offshoring.
A few more days and it will not be my issue anymore ........ ...
It was probably the sweetest present he's ever given me! He and his sister and three friends are playing "Rock Band" in the living room, two rooms away, right now, and I can hardly hear them while I'm working! What a son! ...

It's a terrible s/l but really is best I can do with how fast she dictates. Always, always, indistinguishable and run together this way.

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. For example, the dictator still says the same exact things he always says, but sometimes instead of saying "EXTREMTIES: No clubbing, cyanosis or edema." He says, "EXTREMITIES: No edema, clubbing or cyanosis." Do you go back and change it or do you leave it since he is saying the same thing? And if you don ...
My TSM is fired up today cuz lots and lots of no shows for shifts and nearly every account is out of TAT. Why does this surprise her with the news that we received last week? It was hard enough, and then they make it even harder to make a near poverty living. ...
I have not heard this in a long time and I forget how to transcribe it. The doctor dictates the white blood cell count as 12.3 thousand. Do I leave it like that, or is it 12,300??? TIA ...

Thank you so much for helping! ...
We've always known it, but now the medical research is bearing out the same truth: MTs are more accurate than speech recognition. I try to keep track of studies like this; they're good ammunition!
