IT WAS GREAT WHEN I FIRST STARTED, THAT MUCH I WILL ADMIT.  I WAS PLEASANTLY SUPRISED AT THEIR WILLINGNESS TO HELP, THEIR KINDNESS, AND THEIR AVAILABILITY TO THE MT'S.  BUT AS MANAGMENT CHANGED, SO DID ALL OF THE WONDERFUL THINGS THAT MADE DSG SO PERSONAL. 

I LEFT ON MY OWN TERMS.  I WAS NOT FIRED... I AM NOT A MAD IC OR EMPLOYEE THAT WAS TERMINATED.  I WAS SICK OF BEING TREATED LIKE CRAP ALL OF THE TIME.  AND I STILL TALK TO MANY FRIENDS THAT I HAVE MADE THERE AT DSG, AND THEY WILL ALL SAY THE SAME THING... DSG HAS BECOME A VERY IMPERSONABLE PLACE TO WORK, AND IS A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE TO FIGHT FOR YOUR WORK.  WE WERE NEVER ENCOURAGED TO HELP EACH OTHER AND WERE OFTEN GREETED WITH RUDE COMMENTS FROM THE MANAGEMENT WHEN TRYING TO DO SO.  

I DO NOT HAVE TO KEEP QUIET ABOUT MY OPINION OF DSG OR THEIR UNPROFESSIONALISM.  IT IS A FREE COUNTRY.  

THANKS FOR YOUR BLESSINGS, THEY ARE NOT NEEDED.  I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY WHERE I AM NOW.  NO NEED TO FIGHT FOR WORK, AND MAKING MUCH MORE INCOME.  SO YOU CAN HAVE DSG... FOR ME IT WAS A STEPPING STONE ON THE WAY TO A REAL JOB... 

I have seen good and bad about most companies on this board.  I suggest that people make their own decisions.  I don't doubt that your experience or what you say could be true, but I also know of 10 people that love the place (my team).  

With over 1,000 transcriptionists, I do not think it is unusual that there may be some unhappy ones.   I can only talk about my experiences. 

Please feel free to e-mail me if you would like more information.  I do not like to discuss specifics on these forums.

Ops.  All the other stuff is so boring to me.  Not many days go by that I don't have to look something up.  There is always a new piece of equipment, a new procedure, and when you get new doctors coming it they may been from a different part of the country and their terminology is different for the same procedure that the other doctors use.  It is a constantly learning process.   If you have good reference material and utilize the equipment manufacturer's websites that helps provided the dictation is clear enough that you can figure out which way to go with it.  If you can do just one speciality, like doing GI procedures or orthopedic procedures it will give you lots of practice and it will be easier to become familiar with the terminology.  If you can get samples of dictations that will help also.   I would definitely take a chance on doing Ops.  You might not be able to do them, but then you might surprise yourself.    You always have the word boards to help when you really get stuck.   I think it is a great opportunity for a newbie.

You know, it's amazing that you would say you did not have doctors' addresses.  With the plethora of information we are given, it is rare indeed that one has to leave a blank for a doctor's address. 

Ugh! They are rude!

What kind of equipment (if any) does one need to take the PMSI test? It is a written test or transcription test?

Thanks

haven't heard anything yet.  The person who contacted me seemed really nice.  If the test is indicative of their work, I think I'd really enjoy it.

Has anyone else heard how well they did on the test?

Does anyone know if it is IC work or do they have employee status too?

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll get back to me.
