I used to work with her way back, and we have lost touch many years ago. She probably would not even remember me, but I've often wondered how she is doing. It's been far too long and too much water under the bridge to try to contact her again, but I was just wondering if anyone knows of her.....

Anyone had experience with them? Archives look positive. I sent a resume and got a quick response back. They want me to test. Curious to know anyone with recent knowledge of them. Thanks!

That runs in cycles
Hospital can't find transcriptionists, don't want to pay benefits, don't want to buy the equipment or want to use the space for something that pays and then they outsource. After they outsource for awhile, they don't like the quality of the work, don't like the turnaround time, don't save as much as they thought they would or can't verify the bill and then they bring it back in house. After awhile, they can't find transcriptionists, etc, etc and so forth.
Could you tell me how much your insurance runs for family?
Thanks..
It's all the same thing. Alex that runs MDI-FL also
Even though Larry is in charge, it appears to be by title only because even he defers the final say to Alex. So anything done at Transcend has to have the final stamp of approval of Alex, who also has the final stamp of approval at MDI-FL
Spheris never runs out of work

Platform runs too slow for my expander
Spell checker you have to provide. Management - I experienced two good team leads, neither of whom are there anymore, other than that, not impressed. Have had situations where what I earned did not match what I was paid. Last team lead I had had a problem with being rude and expecting everone to drop their previously scheduled lives for her, while she was virtually unreachable to us otherwise. They do something every year and can a bunch of editors or MTs, bizarre yearly ritual. Perhaps things will be different now, perhaps not. Good luck either way!
Is this company in Florida that runs out of work? I think we must have the same job LOL
Heaven help us.. I cant have anymore down time.. I'm starving here..

Anyone know what Medware's ins. for family coverage runs. Thinking of applying
Just looking for a company that offers decent insurance for family coverage.
i couldn't take it and the crew that runs it? forgetaboutit. double horrid.
sorry you got screwed... go far far away from them. they dont' deserve you
Well you are less than professional. Act like
one if you want a professional response. I am not who responded in the post you just responded to but you certainly are not acting like a professional.
That was a very professional
It is professional to do this
I believe you always should leave a company on good terms. Of course, on the other hand, if work is super low and they wouldn't feel the pinch if you left, I think less than 2 weeks would work. I had to do this at my last job. I gave them a week's notice because I just could not afford to work part time at a company where I was promised full time.
Professional Transcriptions
From Florida, any info from anyone on this company?
focus is not professional
I also work for Focus Infomatics, I mean worked. I have been working for months. They payvery poorly 6.5 cents per line. as compared to other companies, that is very low. Also they trick you into thinking it is a transcription job, then they tell you when you are trained, that you are going to be doing editing, without giving you a choice. I am very disappointed with them. I also thought they were good in the beginning. They are not very professional. I would not recommend this company to anyone who is looking for transcription work.
I would think you would know, pay should never be discussed with anyone - not very professional.

I am not your honey...please be more professional (nm)

Professional tester SM
I feel like a professional tester. Tested for so many companies in the last six months I can't remember all of them - not one answer from any of them.
Just tested for Transcription1 and still have not heard from them either. Anybody have any info on this company?
Just my own professional belief sm
I personally do not think that anyone who is taught English as a second language could ever type or edit American English as well as American English-speaking people that are trained to do so unless he/she has solely devoted his/her life to mastering the craft. Granted, there are many, many Americans who do not use the language properly even a little bit, but these people typically do not become MTs either! I cannot imagine learning Russia as a second language, barely being able to articulate it, and then overseeing a born-and-raised Russian's grammar and punctuation skills. Just my personal opinion, of course. I'm sure there are exceptions...somewhere.
I thought she was professional.
I talked with a recruiter once who talked to me like I was her long lost friend... it was kind of distracting.
I like the way the DR recruiter conducted everything. She was professional and pleasant, but not overly friendly.
lol You just did yourself in, professional recruiter!
Buh-bye.
How wonderfully professional you are!
Is this from the same mouth that threaten LEGAL action for imagining having been called a liar? Calling someone a psycho and ignorant? You neglected to mention the NUMEROUS emails you write to me, not just one! Yes, I'm sure anyone checking this site for suggestions or recommendations as to where to work will find this post helpful. they will realize that we have and maintain such a high standard that loons like yourself cannot possibly ever get hired on. For that, we are blessed and quite happy, and successful I might add. You have doctor friends- seek one out and get help. I pray for you...
to the point and v. professional and well-said.

You would think a professional would use the name of her company sm
and not a moniker to post with, plus like the other poster, I am not sure as a potential employee I would need to know about her 26 surgeries (26?!!!). I think I'll pass.
Sorry, I meant Professional. Thanks
Was in a hurry
Actually, this is a professional website and
that is probably why they told you not to mock their advertisers. Put youself in their place. If this was your website, would you want MTs to mock your advertisers?
You are not a professional and by far, your post was not an opinion
It is apparent that you possibly are one of those MTs that has to jump around from company to company.
that's professional of her. Isn't one of them taking today off...sm
Was it Kathy or Colleen? Perfect timing, dontcha think?
Professional Dication Associates
Am looking for more info, I know they use Emdat. Has anyone worked for them who can tell me about part time line requirements, hours and in general how they are to work for? Thank you.
Anyone heard of Professional Transcriptions of NW FL
Any info, good or bad?
Thank you also. Very nicely and professional stated...nm

WHAT? No one holds you back from being professional! OMG!
Talk about utter lack of accountability and responsibility!
You don't have a clue about running a business, the cost of capital, etc.!
You are an angry little person, huh?!
experienced and professional MT poster
You are just wrong. I started over 10 years ago when one could make good money working productivity with bonuses and benefits. The behemoth -- the Walmart of transcription - came in and bought most everyone out and reduced line rates and decimated benefits. All others had to also to stay in business. I have a devil of a time making the same wage I made 10 years ago. I recently left a place because I was making $12 an hour - working as hard as I could (less than 1/2 what I usually make). The HR person called and asked why I left. When I explained, she said those days are over and better get used to it. If a CEO increases productivity and profit -- they get millions. MTs are expected to double their productivity while making about half what they used to with VR. Sorry poster, this is reality. If you have prospered, be thankful, but don't put the blame of the dismal working conditions of transcription on disgruntled workers.
MDI-FL and Cornerstone Professional Services
Could I please hear from anyone who is currently working for MDI-FL or Cornerstone Professional Services. I have searched for both companies, but would like to hear how the people who are still working for these companies like/dislike working for them. Any information would be appreciated...both pros and cons.
Thank you.
