My recollection is a bit different -
Let's see....
I had toxemia and was taken off work and placed on disability status at 8 months. Had to have pretty much total bedrest.
Had 12 hours of hard, induced labor which progressed much too quickly without dilatation.
Ended up having an emergency C-section as it turned out my daughter had a nuchal cord and her heartbeat was rapidly dwindling with every contraction.
After major surgery, I was in severe pain AND taking care of a newborn infant for a total of 8 weeks before I was deemed well enough to return to work.
And you have the audacity to compare maternity leave with a PAID VACATION???
Maybe eventually you'll get that same type of paid vacation when you undergo hip replacement.
My recollection of the incident...
As I recall, the poster was not upset because there was a christian forum, she was upset because on the christian forum they were referring to Jews and their money-making schemes along with other antisemitic comments. I am surprised that you, as a Jew, do not find those types of statements offensive, but to each his own!
hasn't it been said it can be 30% less...

Is there any company which hasn't been...
complained about???
I've read the posts and wonder.
It hasn't been announced yet..
But some of the office people have "leaked" the info apparently.
Really, that hasn't been my experience at all.
I was initially concerned when I heard the company was sold, but honestly you would never even know they are a part of Transcend unless you actually knew it. (Does that make sense??). The owners are still extremely active, and my managers and team leader are really special.
You are the first person I have ever heard has noticed a change. MDI is growing, but they are growing on their own. I think they have almost 500 transcriptionists at this time. BTW, I don't think Transcend is much bigger than MDI - they also have 500 employees.
This hasn't been my experience other than to say
do my work. Working before anyone else gets up and then end of day seems to make all the difference in making line count in my situation with MDI on a C-phone account. Perhaps it is an issue of what accounts you have and how versatile you are.
OSi hasn't changed
I just left there because of the VR and the low work volumes. They aren't offshoring, I can tell you for sure. I can tell you also that the work is still very low, the VR pay is terrible and forget it about communication, and yes they still micromanage through the IM.
This hasn't been a situation that has gone on for
months. The biggest account took some of the work back in-house w/o warning. It was done w/o warning and the other accounts have had to absorb all the MTs who were left w/o work. I have been there less than a year so I don't know if the work flow is a cyclic thing or not, though if you read the board it seems like the workload is low all over. I know things are frustrating, but at least they pay for down time.
IT HASN'T BEEN IN OVER 3 YEARS!!
I have never known them to use the supervisor as a recruiter!!!!!!!!!
it hasn't started yet, still getting set up
X
It still hasn't been resolved for everyone. I'm still in limbo. I'm going
to give it until tomorrow.
Huh??? CyMed hasn't been around for almost 2 years now.
They were bought out by SPi, which is one of the worst companies out there! I know this for a fact as I worked for Cymed for about 2 years until they were bought out by SPi in the mid to late summer of 2006, so they don't even exist anymore.
This is the first year Oracle hasn't sent anything...oh well.
Not even a thanks. As a matter of fact, been unusually quiet this week. Hhmmm, feeling guilty maybe?
I'd like to know why this bunch of crooks hasn't
I can think of a few MTSO bigwigs who could use 150-year jail sentences.........
The industry HASN'T advanced. sm
That's what the 'gripes' and 'complaints' are about. Technology in this field has advanced, but normally with advancement of technology comes advancement with compensation for continuing education. That's not happening in this field. THAT's what the complaints are about. I, for one, welcome advancement in technology. I'd still be working on a Selectric typewriter with carbon paper if I didn't. What I don't welcome is the fact that while technology is advancing, the working conditions are declining. While we are continually learning and sharpening our skills, researching new terms, equipment, drugs, procedures we are LOSING pay. This is one of very few industries where the workers are continually required to learn more and do more, but the compensation is going backwards instead of advancing. When technology advanced for the physicians and for the nurses, did they take cuts in pay? No, they actually advanced with their fields and their compensation increased based on the justification that they had invested time and money to learn the new technology. They became 'specialized.' When technology advanced for the medical centers and hospitals, did they lower their prices because their staff could do their jobs in a few less steps? No, they raised prices based on the premise of increased price of equipment and costs for doing business. What about us?? We have increases as well! What honestly justifies a cut in pay when the cost of everything else is skyrocketing? Can you tell me that??
This MT board is really the only way we have to communicate about our field. The 'griping' and 'complaining' is a symptom, and there wouldn't be a symptom if there wasn't an illness. So obviously there must be something wrong with the way this field of medical transcription is moving. This networking board allows us to discuss it openly where we can't with our employers or management. It almost seems as if some people won't be happy until they can take that away from us too.
So you're one of the lucky ones who hasn't
taken a cut in pay for working longer & harder? It's sad to not be able to feel compassion for your fellow MTs who are struggling to make ends meet when their pay is being cut & the cost of living is rising. The CEOs of the MT corporations aren't going hungry, but some of our fellow MTs are really struggling. My compassion lies with them.
Are you sure you don't mean MDI (Medical Dictation Services, Inc.? MRC hasn't been around
s
She has been told this for years now. Hasn't changed.
You would be shocked at how many MTs have left them. Amazingly they keep finding others to hire. Sad, sad, sad.
I was told it hasn't started for any account
In order to finish you have to start and as far as I know no account has been started with this new line counting utility. When I questioned this, on several occasions, each time I was told its still happening but that was the extent of any information that was conveyed to me.
If your company hasn't paid you come payday and
promises it will either be overnighted to your or in your account by the end of the day and it isn't, and the next day the money isn't there and they wait until the end of the day to tell you they don't know when you'll get paid doesn't that sound very fishy? I think the CEO should have issued a statement and outlined exactly what the issue is. If it isn't a matter of money (like they don't have it) then why not say what the problem is.
Someone mentioned this situation yesterday or the day before and got reamed, but I think this is now a MAJOR issue. Fortunately for me I got a big tax return and I haven't paid all the bills yet so I'm not hurting, but I can imagine there are more than a few who NEED their checks NOW.
Hasn't your mother taught you any manners?
What is wrong with you to judge? Do you think every MT has to be just like you. Every business has the high achievers and the ones who struggle, possibly to find they have chosen the wrong field, or the wrong company, specialty expander.
Your ladies who toss off your smart a$$ comments at every chance are part of the reason MTs are considered difficult.
If you are like this 24 hours a day, I have a feeling you spend a good deal of time MTing because there is no one else in the house with you. Who'd want to spend time with a person who could cough up a post such as yours? A masochist possibly.
Find yourself a sense of humor and until then, cease posting in representation of medical transcriptions. We have more class than that where I am in this business.
Current Amphion employee...I'm very happy. The part of Amphion I work with has no faxes, lists,s
minor demographic work..superb QA and feedback. Fellow MTs on same account are more than willing to help and now they also have mentor program. My pay is what they said. They do have different pay for different levels. 
Medware..There hasn't been anything on this board since August 2007...(sm)
Does anyone who works for Medware care to share their opinion about the company in regards to steady work, flexible schedules, platform, benefits, etc.? You can e-mail me if you wish. TIA.
WELL SAID TT12 - mine hasn't run out yet (I love slow times though)
CEO hasn't left yet, she's leaving in August. Co's are bought and sold all the time and I
think this is that big a deal.
The owners haven't changed, MT supe hasn't changed
I've been in their office. I know the people. It is a sweat shop and you will never be paid a decent amount or get respect. You won't know which is a good or a bad day for the person you report to until you literally get yelled at.
They have to offer bonuses because their reputation is that bad and nothing has changed. You may get work that has been recorded 3 times from some of the worst accounts you could ever imagine. They take accounts no one else will touch. That hasn't changed.
Amphion
Do you know if Amphion is hiring for radiology now? I tried to find their website but was unsuccessful. Anyone know their toll-free number?
Do you know how they pay for radiology -- by the character, line, or report? Range of pay?
Amphion does
Amphion uses this for their platform!
?? about Amphion please
Their website says they check references which could hurt you at your present job. How do they handle that? Also do they pay more if you do work nights and weekends? Thank you.
Amphion pay
8.5 cents but good luck getting there, you need 4 quarters of 100% QA.

AMPHION
Amphion
and how do you get hired?
Amphion
No, they only hire as employee status. Good company though. Lots of work.
Amphion
I work for Amphion now.. GREAT company... Their pay scale differs on what level you are but where I am is 0.78 line to 0.81 line depending upon quality. That is for multispeciality. Acute care I believe is more...
Amphion
They use ESP word Expander for Microsoft Word and they do count spaces. I work there and think they are absolutely wonderful people to work for... No doubt..
Amphion pay?
Would anyone who works for Amphion mind sharing what their average pay per hour works out to? Considering them, but also worried the money might not be there.
Amphion
Amphion seems like a good company, but I wonder if the money is there. Their pay structure seems vague.
Amphion
Ditto! Nice staff, but questioning if it will be possible to ever make a living working for this company.
Amphion
No Radiology Accounts
Amphion
Try Amphion. I start with them tomorrow and so far I have been treated like a queen!!!!!
Amphion
I actually just tested for them today. I haven't heard anything back though. How long did it take them to conctact you after you completed the test?

Amphion
At Amphion PT you could do 800 per day. nm
Amphion
Amphion is great!
Amphion
Anyone heard of this company? Hoped I spelled it correctly. I'm wanting to find out a little about them before testing. Thanks.
Amphion
If you have high speed internet go for it. I know some quality people who work there and I think they are reputable.
Amphion is
They are needing a lot of help for bigger accounts coming on live. Training people everyday. If you know what's out there, come on for a place to work that's great. They were a small company, sold out, then bought themselves back again. Wow!
