I'm beyond thrilled! I have a good lead on a non-MT job. I have been promised multiple things and they have never happened. No raise in many years. Someone tell me again, what are the benefits of being an IC when you have to do the work of so many other people PLUS transcribe? It's ridiculous. Years ago, when I didn't have to do the work of others plus mine, I made SO much more money. ...
I had an ignore to my IM request by a QA lead team member. ?? Why would someone do that? Shouldn't I be able to communicate with this person? I'm confused. ...
Just read the MQ Central news about the pilot program for a new position called Region Team Lead (RTL).
I'm already confused enough, I don't need a new acronym.
They said the CTL would now be doing 100% QA and transcription.
It didn't really specify who will be doing PTO requests, etc. (unless I overlooked it)
I'm glad I already requested Christmas off and it was granted! Thanks CTL! I'll miss you! ...
An S8 lead was introduced in the lateral fluoroscopic view, and AP view was used to drive it to the mid T6 level. The lead was in the midline and then an s/l Octrad lead was placed just left to that one described above. ...
Hi fellow MTs.
Does anyone know anything about AssistMed based out of California or has anyone worked for them?
I am curious about their transcriptionists and also lead transcriptionist position. If anybody has an experience with this company, I would appreciate any info. Thanks.

There is a job on craigslist in my city for an MT job paying $17 an hour, part-time, Monday through Friday. Perhaps there is a Quest in your city or another lab that has an MT position. Just a small lead, but I thought I would share. ...
A needle was passed into the S3-4 foramen. Testing showed a a good s/l *bell-low*...

I have worked exclusively from a home office for 8 years as an MT. I've worked with many different platforms, straight transcription, editing, VR, training new MTs in on accounts, etc. A hospital in our area has a listing posted for Transcription Lead (in house). Who has made the change from MT to Lead and is willing to share about the transition? ...
it's just not working out for me there. I would rather have an IC position. I have an interview with another company. If I get it good, if not I will go substitute teach at the school...would prob make more money.
This fall I will be going back to college to get a BS in biology. I will be out of this disappointing career as soon as I can. What a waste of 2 years of my time to study medical transcription and the last 4 years trying to make money doing it. ...
my work and then I would have no problems getting my lines every pay period. What pieces of trash did they select to put in quasi-management positions? ...
Does anybody else get this impression? Or am I misunderstanding what this position is all about? All I know is, I have a weird sense of deja vu about it, like I've heard about this job before but with a different title. ...
have never been treated so badly at any company. My team lead sends out the nastiest e-mails I have ever received in my life. When I talked to my ROM (who is no longer there), she said I just needed to realize that this person had a very strong military background and that is "just how she is". I have been around a lot of military and most of them were taught to be tactful and at least half way nice. You never know what is going to set this one off or how she will react t ...
for some help yesterday and got nothing but garbled answers. I asked how to do something and got part of an answer but then told she did not remember how to do the rest of the steps. I can understand not knowing how to do something, but at least refer me to someone who does know how. This person was definitely not nice and thought it was very funny that I was having so much trouble with the system. The attitude was the worst I have ever encountered. Thes ...
My manager said the low sound was fixed, however, I have reports coming in timed right now and the sound is still extremely low. I am on the West Coast. Anyone out here having problems still with the low sound? I can't hear the doctors! ...
.....dangled in front of me only to have it yanked away shortly! I am tired of not knowing from one day to the next whether there will be work or whether I will even HAVE a job!!!! Tired of chasing after work that does not exist! There MUST be SOMETHING out there for a 50+ year old person with 20+ years of medical transcription experience to be able to support themselves on, but if there is, I have not found it yet! I have said this before, and I will say it aga ...
I had my hardrive recently reformatted and I do not have any sound drivers. I don't know how to get them back. I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite. Anyone know anything about that? ...
The following nasty gram was sent to all independent contractors from the company owner. I'm just curious to know . . . how many ICs treated like this?
Hi everyone - I wanted to touch base with all of you immediately, as we have a very serious problem. Aside from a very few MTs who have notified us in advance that they would be out, we have many MTs who are not working their agreed upon shift and it has put us in a serious hole. If there is work in your pool for the physi ...
The doctor is stating, "There were palpable pulses in the epigastric area." This sounds funny to me, and I have never heard her say this before. What do you think? It is pretty clear, but this doctor is a ditz at times? ...
Wouldn't it make more sense if, with our improved digital and fiberoptic technology, the reports sounded BETTER instead of worse? I guess it is more about convenience -- they can dictate in the bathroom, on the soccer field, in the locker room, checking out at the grocery store, or riding a motorcycle. . . ...
Someone here mentioned the sound quality at DSG. Has anyone ever addressed it there? Seems that in this day and age, sound should be perfect. I have mentioned it here and there to them, but nobody has ever gotten back to me on it. Some of dictations sound like there's a piece of sheet metal being slammed with a hammer. Not good. And with ASR, it's really a mess. Oh well, probably getting out of this business anyway. ...
like an idiot, but would someone kindly tell where in the h*ll to find the information on the schedule change? i have yet to find it or the swap board and CCM not returning any emails. any insight/info would be appreciated. thanking in advance.

I'm trying to troubleshoot something. Does anyone else have sound-quality issues on DSG dictations? Just curious if I should seriously have this looked at on my end. It's not all reports, but enough so that I need to look into it one way or the other. If I'm the only one, I'll hire someone to look into this. I have no problems with audio otherwise, just work-wise. ...
