Here in the US, what are you making (without naming names) per line for straight typing and for VR?I see, below, about OTI lowering to 6.5 CPL straight type and I was just recently offered a job at 7 CPL straight type (as an IC). I thought that was the going rate nowadays for company work. Am I wrong? Are there still some out there that pay a decent wage? ...
Patient noticed bleeding from underneath her left breast. A large mass was noted, which she thought was secondary to s/l "hider-in-dias." Biopsy showed grade 3 infiltrating ductal carcinoma which was ER/PR negative.
Thanks! ...
I want to work as an employee and have benefits. I need health insurance and really want PTO. I want a company big enough to be busy but I CANNOT AND WILL NOT work for MQ again. I thought that DSG was the answer for me and have enjoyed working there the last 2 years. Yesterday was my last day as I refuse to be an MQ employee even for a day. I have a small savings account, and my husband has a decent job, so I am not desperate but I will need to be working within the ...

"He had previous (S/L) PHILLIP right coronary artery stent in 2005 followed by a two-vessel bypass with vein graft to right posterior descending and another vein graft to the circumflex marginal."
S/L "PHILLIP" stent, but it's not in my book and I can't verify it anywhere. Has anyone come across this yet? ...
Can someone tell me the names of any medium or large size MT companies that are NOT owned by Nuance and where you get benefits for full-time employee status (I'm not looking for IC status). Also, if the company happens to be great to work for (ha!) please let me know. ...
Anyone know of a reasonably priced headset with microphone (not wireless) that has the big ear pads that fit over the whole ear not just on the ear. I'm talking an ear pad about 2-1/2 x 3 inches. The one I'm using isn't all that tight, it's just that after a whole day one of my ears hurts from even the small amount of pressure. I need stereo. Hoping for under $100. ...
I live in a large metro area with many physician offices and lawyer offices. I am a great transcriptionist and am currently doing just a couple of files a month (I know it's so little). I need more work and am going to try getting my own. Can I just drop off a letter to the offices? I am thinking about doing $1.25 per audio minute or 10 or 12 cents per 65-character line. Any advice on this method or the rates? Thanks. ...
I mean, REALLY! Where are the good ones anymore? NOWHERE! Granted, there are still some small, mom & pop MT companies out there (fewer and more far-between than ever) who are decent to work for. But the biggies? All them are cut from the same cookie-cutter, and all aspire to be just as evil as that Monopoly Of Mediocrity, MQ. I cringe whenever I hear they have once again shafted their employees, because without fail, all the other ...
Does anyone know of a legal recourse for work injuries caused by company equipment? A market leader, at-the-time generous transcription company sent me an old fashioned monitor, which after years of looking at it caused ocular saccades (lateral jitter of eyes). Also, they downgraded to cheap earphones with a solenoid in them that thumped, decreasing hearing permanently, evidently, in the solenoid fitted side of the headset.
I think the saccades are diminished to absent now ...
I am wondering what the pros and cons are for working for a smaller company versus a larger one? I work for a small company and this is the only one I have worked for, but find myself lately wondering if I need to move on as I am afraid that my skills I learned may be deteriorating and there has been such a lack of communication. I realize that every place is different, but I need some opinions from others that have been in the field longer than myself. Thanks. ...
I just found out I am being placed on an acute care account for a hospital that has over 500 physicians! Is there really a way to make a decent income from on an account that large? It doesn't seem to me that I would get the same physicians very often, making it much more difficult to get used to their speech patterns, normals, etc. I believe this account will also be partly VR editing. Will that be any easier with that many physicians?? ...
...in case there is more than one, in particular I am referring to one on the LG supe team? Is it going offshore soon? Wondering why I was moved. Not alot to do. Very curious. ...
She is status post a thyroidectomy, is being treated for a DVT with Coumadin, has migraine headaches and tremor. Med s/l basslid or vasslid??? I got nothin!!! Thanks so much! ...
Hi, I was on this account working directly for the hospital when we ended up outsourced, first to Transcend and then with Nuance when they took over. Back in the day, we got a TON of compliments for our work. However, at this time, I do not know a single person who used to work for them that is still there.
I ran into a friend who still works in house in med records the other day, and she said the quality on the work has been ghastly! I am not trying to say any of you guys are responsible ...
