Wegener’s disease - patient will get repeat s/l EN/GOB ?? - Bell
Posted: Feb 10, 2012
Patient will get repeat NGOB or ang/gob ?? I am wondering if this is some sort of abbreviation for a test of some sort to follow the Wegener's. Thanks!

Anyone else see this? Is this an aberration or a portent of the direction Medical Transcription is heading?

Hasn’t anyone read their emails and seen the “exciting” news in the Link today??
“….new compensation structure to be simple to understand, transparent, competitive, to be effective around 10/1….”

Transparent = we all make the same regardless of experience

Does “vigorous pinprick” to the face sound correct to you? I’m imagining the doc stabbing needles into the patient's face.

It is amazing that more people are not committing suicide. I guess that goes to the underlying optimism that human beings are inherently born with. We always think there is good in all people and that we will be protected from evil.
But, what happened to an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay? Every day there are posts about people working hard for their paltry wages, only to be paid late or not paid at all. We cannot even apply for a job ...

See, this is a perfect example. Great!! - So we have people willing to make the same amount doing medical transcription as cleaning toilets. That makes me feel better after 15 years of experience. No wonder this profession is in the toilet. They hire people with 1 year of experience and Cbay "stipens" their people for 6 months only then puts them in a production environment. Good luck to patients getting accurate medical records is all I can say. This will not go over in the longrun, guaranteed. ...

With the transcription industry ever changing b___ s___ with paycuts, outsourcing, VR and big corporations taking over, being a mother is the most important job some of us have. The only good benefits we have today as transcriptionists are we can be home with our children and we can avoid the gas guzzling drive to work. So remember do not let the industry bring us down as we are mothers in this hard time for transcriptionists. ...
Just venting……..I am so bummed. I was doing so well a couple of years ago. I was working as a Radiology Transcriptionist for six years for a very, very large radiology facility, two days in the office and the rest of the week from home in the evenings. Then they went to VR, but kept me on because the some of the docs were not complying with VR so those reports had to be typed and in addition I was doing editing. I was making good money and was able to put aw ...
Was just trying for a job with a company, sent my resume, asked me what hours I was looking for, how much experience I had and then dropped the bomb that they only pay 3¢ a line for VR editing. Is there anyone out there making a decent wage doing editing for so little? ...
