Cphone is fine

Actually Cphone works fine for me. No waiting for files to pull up and sound quality depends on where you live and type of phone service. I've used it for years and years and have no problems with it.

CPHONE AND EXERCISE
Never Mind, I turned the connection upside down and it worked. Thanks, All Have a Great Saturday. I just got out of the hospital for five days HIGH BP STROKE, MIGRAINE, DUE TO YOU GUESSED IT- TYPING ALL THE TIME, AND NO EXERCISE. Did 30 minutes of power walking already. Not ready to go to the grave yet. I challenge everyone to do at least 30 minutes of some form of exercise a day. 
Cphone is Dictaphone
C phone is actually a Dictaphone. Looks like a telephone and you dial into the hospital clinic for dictation. Has a foot pedal and headset. Technology has been around forever and is still used by a lot of places. You can find them on ebay for about $100-200.
Any RAD MT at MDI-MD using Meditech and Cphone?
I use a c-phone on current hospital account - no problems with it and make good money using it. I have never used Meditech platform and would love to hear from any MDI-MD rad MT who has used this combination (Meditech with Cphone) on the pros and cons. They offered me a good per report rate so I am considering employment. Thanks.

i have it and like it just fine
the preventative maintence is paid in full. I don't remember any long waiting periods. I do think you have to have the insurance a year before you can use it for braces tho, which i also did, and i think the max payout was $1000/yr on the braces (not absolutely sure i remember correctly). it has served me well and the monthly rate was fair.
Fine
So that's what was rude. Okay. But did you read my second post? I DID say work was slow. I DO know it. How many ways can I say it????? But, I am still able to get my line counts in. So are many, many other MTs at Transcend? I see many MTs asking questions for word help/account specific questions, as they are typing. They are typing. Why are they? Why are many of us able to get our lines in? Why can't you? Ask for another account. They said in the email sent out yesterday that if you want or need another account to email them, training will begin today? Why aren't you training on a new account? I have been with Transcend for awhile and have had no problems getting my line count in at all. That is what I am saying. I am not going to get on here and say anything else, as that would not be the truth from my side of it. I am not saying that you aren't having a hard time pulling work. All I am saying is that it is still possible even though slow, as I am doing it and so are others.
I think $13.50 is just fine, especially when....sm
I don't have to buy "work" clothes per se, don't have to drive into the office to work, and can be home when my kids get off the bus, thereby saving money for after-school babysitting. I live just fine on my salary and it's not for you to knock what I make or how I live...and yes, we go to the movies AND buy popcorn/sodas there!
I have friends who make $20-25 an hour in their jobs and they drive in to work (we live in the suburbs of a major city), have to wear business clothes, and pay for daycare. Not only do they spend 2 hours a day in the car commuting to/from work but with the costs of them workintg they actually end up making less money than I do - it's all how you look at it and do the math. I on the other hand buy a tank of gas and it lasts usually 3 weeks, sometimes 4 and yet we're not deprived.
That's quite fine...sm
Not my loss 
VPN is fine as well.

Yep, still here. Doing fine. nm

Why is that fine?
Aren't they about the only U.S. MTSO that does that? Are they willing to make their books available to determine how soon after they are paid they pay the MTs? Sounds like it is problematic, and a well run company (which granted is not them, since they're only overflow) would be able to handle this, just like 99% of other employers or businesses do. Why is it fine? Can we tell our utility company or car note company that we'll pay them when we get paid?
I like it fine
Nothing really exciting but nice people to work with. Plenty of work with overtime and incentives quite often. Always paid on time and correctly. Rate is 0.09 for some account and 0.10 for a harder one. Every account has a few hard dictators but overall pretty good. ExText platform. 401K with 100% match of up to 4% after a year of employment. Not very good insurance. I feel secure and comfortable - just not making a lot of money. Not sure about raises. I haven't had one. Anybody else know if and when?
What co was that for? I'm sure you did fine.

You are going to be just fine sm
Every job takes some getting used to and you are never too old to learn new programs. It's just unlearning the old program and relearning the new. You'll get there. TT is very patient.
That's fine
if you are going to judge 'my tone' from posts without benefit of any one on one discussion, you are free to research the possibility of a union on your own.
I'm a straight-shooter, and sometimes that translates to some as harsh... others take my posts with a large grain of salt and/or withhold judgement. Your choice :)
I'm not willing to hold the reins here anyway, merely to help a serious interest proceed.
And by the way, the ant hill is plenty stirred up from my viewpoint. My whole intent was to see if the ants wanted to see a possible solution, or merely to continue venting...
Everything is fine at MQ now sm
We are also being paid downtime for the time we were down, so it wasn't so bad at all!
It's fine :)
Some people have no personality and just love to be negative. I guess it really bothers her that you made a career change. (holy crap)
I think we will be fine and do even better
I think we will have our pick of jobs. I am not worried about any of the names unionized workers resort to calling.
Just keep on keepin' on.
If okay with you, then fine with me
I don’t work for the company but with jobs disappearing overseas today and with most concerned about lack of work, falling salaries, and so on I would think only a matter of time before all go that way.
That's fine.
If they don't have work for me during the hours I want to work, fine. I end up taking the day off. Just part of being IC.
But the problem the OP had was MTSO dictating what hours the MT is to work such as must working from 8-5. They cannot do that. If they need someone to work a shift from 8-5, then they need an EMPLOYEE, not an independent contractor.
Sure, that would be fine

Working fine for me
I haven't had any problems since beginning with Diskriter in January this year. My benefits are great and they just switched to Highmark Blue Cross because employees surveyed wanted a wider coverage area program. I meet my incentive almost every week. Working for me!
