about the accounts they are outsourcing?  Should they really be doing things they are not proud of?  Does anyone in management take into consideration the fact that these foreign typists (and I will not call them transcriptionists because most of them are lousy) contribute nothing to our economy - it just pulls money and jobs away from the United States.  In fact, India has banned most US imports so they do not even contribute to our economy by purchasing anything made or produced in the US.  

This is the holiday season and work is normally slower anyway, but who is going to be able to afford to even buy a present if we have no work? 

I just posted signs around a very large doctors' group who has a lot of workman's comp cases and informed the patients that their medical records were being transcribed overseas.  The unions are now pulling  their insurance agreements away from this group and directing them to doctors who support local employment.   You can make a difference in this world!!   Being complacent is not going to help anyone. 

Does anybody have any info on Fast Chart? Thanks!

I was contacted today by this company, and in trying to determine how they reached me I searched the job listings and found nothing, any clue on who and how they are?  I find it interesting that I have not posted my resume and they make contact.

They stated they got my resume off mtjobs, but again they do not even have a listing there, past or present that I see for me to review.

Any information would be helpful.

Does anybody have any recommendation on a good school --- I don't care to hear the negative - just the good stuff.

Thanks!

Can anyone please provide any info on the Emdat/Inscribe platform as far as it being MT-friendly and in terms of productivity?

TIA!

Hi,

I've considered applying here, but would like more info. first--all a search turns up are very sparse and ancient posts on this company. 

Thanks. 

a company that supplies the computer.  I know every company is not a good fit for every person, but I would prefer a company that provides the computer... then I will start from there looking for the place that sounds like it will fit me.  Any and all suggestions are appreciated.

anyone using dial up with radiology accts, are you getting good line counts?  i've done a search on archives and reading info about the company.  anyone else radiology-wise care to share their experience?

thanks!

Right now, I am employed as a full-time psych. Transcriptionist in an office.  I currently make 25k a year.  Before I make the plunge to invest in my MT training, i really need to know if I can realistically make the same amount of money my first year. 

i would really love to get into med. transcription, but my family's financial situation requires that I make no less than 25k a year.  I do understand that you make the least in your first few years, but im not sure we could afford that right now.

Is it realistic to expect 25k a year my first year? or should I wait until my family can afford less?

I reallu appreciate your honesty! if youo would like to reply by email, that is fine too.  Thanks so much!

I was needing some current information on Superior Global Solutions out of Plano, Texas.  The posts that I found were old.  I was wanting current information on pay, benefits, etc.

Thanks in advance.

by TRX because I am not a member of the AKC. Disappointed.

I swear, I usually get along with most people but this one is trying my nerves.  This lady did not get along with the other transcriptionists.  She claimed they made too much noise, their hand lotion smelled (even though it was unscented), they shook the cubicle too much, always a complaint.  So what the boss do? She moves me and the this whinny lady to a little office all to our own.  I wasn’t complaining.  Anyway, the only thing I hear out of this office lady is either bragging about herself or putting one of the other Transcriptionist down.   She does put atmosphere in our office.  I had to get up and go pee.  She gives me a dirty look.  I say “what.”  Then she says I have this psychiatric disorder that I have to get up and down too much.  Another complaint she had about the other office girls, they were in an out of the office too much, never sat still. 

Then, she starts complaining about this ESL she was transcribing for.  He is horrible, he needs to go back where he came from blah blah blah, I just chuckled a little.  SHE says “ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee.”  Then she starts in on how her neighbor in her apartment complex was making too much noise with his girlfriend last night.  I chuckled.  ITS NOT FUNNY, in-house employee. She had to walk further to her apartment.  I said why, she said “OBVIOUSLY SOMEONE HAD MY PARKING PLACE hospital employee.” Then she slammed something on her desk and went to typing.  I am sorry, I don’t know how to deal with this.

I would LOVE to be able to find out what the doctors are paying these national companies for their work.  I have heard so many times, that the transcriptionists have to take a pay cut because of the economy and because of outsourcing.  And personally, I do not see how any of us can work for less than what we are getting now. 

Is there a way to actually verify what these nationals are charging the docs, maybe calling around and getting quotes is the only thing I can think of.  Does anyone have a better idea.  I would LOVE to get ACTUAL QUOTES and see how it compares to what we are getting.  Any ideas?
