Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Contradiction Bonnie J. Monico

..you state you would not trust posters on this board because of anonymity, yet you offer an invitation for employment(?)

I suspect, MS Monico, other underlying issues are what raise the resentment here.

Thank goodness THERE IS a board with anonymity. The MT industry has been hung upside down with all of the sweeping changes that have nothing to do with protecting our profession, but rather politics and greed.

Yes, the poster misspelled the owner's name incorrectly, but I think the hot issue everyone is so heated over is OUTSOURCING PRIVATE AMERICAN HEALTH INFORMATION WITH NO REGARD FOR THE PATIENT'S AWARENESS OF THIS PRACTICE OR CHOICE.

It seems, Ms Monico, that the dreaded offshore outsourcing has reached proportions that force many to give in to, go along with, and otherwise sacrifice their beliefs to put food on the table. There would be no need for anonymity if this were not so.

The powers that manipulate the industry and AAMT have turned away from the professional Transcriptionist in the UA. I did say professional transcriptionist, not anything less. AAMT has also tried to hush the voice of the majority of the transcriptionists in this country, provided a different agenda other than what it should have been - a professional organization to uphold the industry, and that should have included protecting our private health records here in the United States. AAMT has been nothing but a puppet for AHIMA who care less about professional medical transcriptionists. Their agenda has always been a power play over the transcriptionist, and this has contributed some to the dilemma we are all in now.

Thank goodness for anonymity. Is there any other place where one can voice or vent their frustrations with this industry without fear of retaliation or being blacklisted? The owner of this web site is to be highly commended for her courage, class and professionalism to allow our voices to be heard.

contradiction same CPL, less pay(of course)
My cpl did not change - the only thing thrown in the mix was the VR - and of course, paid less for that...

See what they do is less and less to NONE of traditional MTings. I make 5.7 and 9 cpl but it ended up average 6.7 cpl and would even go lower as less and less regular MTing
To Monico
If you won't trust many or any of the posters out at this site just for the plain fact that no one will use their real names, then why on earth would you come on here and make a spiel for recruiting?

Take your snobby attitude and stuck-up nose off this site. You truly belong at Medware.
Monico
You know, one would wonder why you feel it necessary to attack me personally instead of addressing the inconsistencies in your own post. At least 3 posters including myself have pointed out those inconsistencies.

I have been in this business longer than you, and I have never heard anyone outside of your little AAMT inner circle say anything good about you. You need to get out of your ivory tower and talk to some real MTs.
Bonnie, would you please explain how offshoring sm

can possibly benefit US MTs?  I've seen nothing but harm in many ways (except for AAMTs benefit for increased revenue as well as MTSOs getting cheap labor).   I'd hate for my medical record to be transcribed by someone who doesn't even know which terms belong in a PE and have a hard time stringing the words together to make their requests (check out some of the occasional posts on the Word Help Board--it's shocking).  Thanks. 


 


Wasnt Bonnie with Medware, then StatIQ or something and now Transolutions?? Kinda makes you worry
when a recruiter keeps changing jobs too.. Maybe, it's because she is unsure of whether her companies do or DONT offshore... Hmmmmm...(scratching my head) Could just be the sad state of affairs in that before you know it, even the most solid people become job hoppers. I had ONE job for 10 years and all I have done since I started doing this at-home stuff is job hop. Very discouraging.
