And I was simply pointing out that saying
you weren't a recruiter. I didn't say you weren't a happy employee, most recruiters are, and so are employees that get referral bonuses. In fact, I didn't even say you were a recruiter. IMO, it could have been just as easy and more polite to say, No, I'm not a recruiter than to give the snide, condescending remark, now wouldn't it?
Yes, I am. And simply look at the archives. nm

I personally would take the $15 simply because
production-based work stinks regardless of how easy and how many normals there are. Production is never going to be a salary you can count on. Go for the $15. I sure would.
I don't think anyone has attacked you. You are simply

I was simply posting that
I was hassled by an MT who was fired. I could care less about your know-it-all antics. I'm over 30 and too old for your immature crap.
LOL!!
I was not IC, simply helping out
my local hospital when it was swamped with work, and agreed to help, at $1 per dictated minute. WONDERFUL $$; I could type off at least $130-$140 a day, and over 20 minutes an hour. It really is worth it, but ask for at least $1 per dictated minute. 
This is simply not true. nm
There was never a time that they could not meet payroll due to not having money in the past 6 years. When they first started out it was tight, but they are a huge company and I have never had a problem. I worked in the office for a while. They have a line of credit and never have to worry about that.
I am not a bully. I'm simply trying to tell the OP
to do something about her situation instead of whining about it and posting on here that there is no work and looking for pity.
There are plenty of companies hiring. What's wrong with google? Ever heard of that?
Geez - try to help someone and you're called a bully, Grinch, and told to go away.
So what does the OP want? Because at this point, I'm clueless as to what she would expect with a post like that. Almost any company on here would kill for a 3rd shift MT.
Simply trying to follow along here.
So what is the real concern in security here? I work with Escription and nothing is stored in my computer, download and upload each report to the company. Most infringements are most likely occurring only by an MT who does not understand and practice confidentiality or HIPAA guidelines in this case mentioned originally. We have been warned for years an MT can lose a job by any infraction, but this is a perfect example of that happening after the damage is done.
I think it's simply many people do not have
enough money to go around and simply don't go in for medical care. At $20 a visit copay for internist, or $40 for specialist, then the prescription, many people can't afford the copays, especially if they have children.
Our good sized hospital is slow, as are the others in town as well. People just dont want to come in and have major procedures done and end up with the copays of hundreds of dollars.
I think people are prioritizing; feed your kids, keep a roof over their heads, or run to the ER for a case of the sniffles.
Nothing to feel sorry about. You simply got an offer
"too good to refuse"...Happens to me all the time whenever I interview for several positions, and they all have understood, as long as you're just honest. Sometimes the company you end up rejecting tries to match the offer of the better company. Then you realize how you needn't have felt bad - the original company would have, or could have, offered you more, too!
Mostly, I simply ignore the "trolls"..don't need em...nm

I simply asked her what the reason.. sm
..was for her post, to find out her motives, and to hopefully help deter some MTs from divulging more information than they should about themselves. You never know on these boards. So I feel that you insulting me was unnecessary, not my question to the OP about her motives.
US companies are in India, not simply SM
subcontracting, they are established as companies in India. Large companies. And there is nothing anyone can do about it.
Simply put & point being - no different than a med student

Am I the only person who is simply grateful sm
to be employed? Wow. I don't understand why so many people feel entitled to a bonus. Back in the day, yes, it was much more common to get a gift or a bonus (esp if you worked for a smaller company) but now, with the economy as it is? I'm just happy to have a good, stable job. Count your blessings and don't envy what you don't have.
A former colleague went to work for them - said it was simply
I won't be more specific except to recommend that you pass on this one.
No sore spot at all. I simply do my job,
get my lines and hours in without much trouble and don't fret about who's getting the gravy work. I get along with my lead and supervisors well. I can do any report that comes my way, even the ESLs that others continuously skip over or suddenly lose their connection when they see the name or number. Simply do the job I was hired for, collect a nice paycheck and when my day is done I don't think about it again until the next day. 
I know people there who need to be fired and they won't fire them. That just simply sm
is not true. They are a very nice company. They have benefits which include PTO and sick time.
She is here to slander a good company just simply
because they decided to change their mind on an MT trainer position calling the owner a liar. How sad is that. If she only knew the owner and what a good woman and professional she is.
the OP did not badmouth; simply asked questions.
nm
Wow....calm down. She simply stated it wrong..
All you have to do is say don't you mean...
Take a Xanax lately? Just a thought.
I simply send back a reply to
all political emails to ANYONE that thinks I don't have the intelligence to form my own opinions and say return to sender. Some have definitely stopped.
That's simply not true - the policy is if you are documented OOW sm
you are not required to use your PTO. Whoever said that is wrong and you should go higher up the ladder to ask about the policy.
Yes, its simply called a No Compete contract.
in our industry. MTs and management alike are bound by them, so really should be no hard feelings or a big deal. Its a very understandable clause and common in all industries, not just ours. If you don't like the clause, you don't have to sign or work for the company. Its not a biggie, really, and very common.
You are simply incorrect! I do support my family...
however, I have been able to adapt to all the changes that the medical transcription industry has encountered over the last decase; in fact, I welcome the changes and it has been interesting if you keep the right attitude.
That is simply not true. They still offshore approx. 80% of everything
and will continue to do so. That was the whole point of Nuance purchasing Focus. Whoever is telling you otherwise is simply lying to you...or you are lying to us!
I know, that wasn't the point. It was simply the play on words....
......simply the play on words in the Google blurb that fit the situation, not the whole related article.
I had assumed eScription was simply editing, not correct? (nm)
I wasn't being cold, simply matter-of-fact. sm
My own reproductive history isn't a factor in my opinion. In the list of medical procedures, some things are necessary for life, others are not, they are elective.
Medical insurance exists to protect you against catastrophic financial burden due to unforeseen medical expenses. IVF is personally chosen, it is 100% elective, and it is done only to satisfy a personal want.
Also easy to put an end to it if the company would simply communicate their denial of the rumors, as

To my knowledge, the owner still lives in India, simply owns a home here. sm
The work is received FROM the Indian office and sent TO the Indian office. They used to hire only American MTs, but then started outsourcing to a company in India (big surprise).
I understand what you are saying, though. And if they are honest about it, then it is the choice of the MT as to whether he/she wants to work there. The fact that they blatantly misled in their ad angered me, but then again, I have been an MT long enough, nothing should surprise me. I guess I have done my part, and I have no particular axe to grind so I should just leave this alone now. I just was shocked when I saw the ad.
Good luck to all of us in finding a job that treats us well and pays us even better (smile).

So you're telling me that DRC got sold to Acusis? What phone call is everyone talking about?
Acusis
The hospital we were outsourced from now uses Acusis for about 80% of their transcription work. It is my understanding they are 100% Indian with no U.S. MTs. Also lots of quality issues. They send a ton of work back with blanks which the hospital then has to pay in-house MTs to review and fix. Go figure.
Are you Acusis -

Acusis dba DRC? nm
:
Acusis/DRC
I too am worried and feel like I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. And it probably will... Perhaps the customers are worried too and have started farming work out elsewhere to test the waters before they drop A/D altogether. One can only guess. All I can do is shake my head and say, what a shame -- DRC was the best -- what a shame.
Acusis??
I am in the process of testing with Acusis. Can anyone give me the good/bad and the ugly about this company.
TIA
ACUSIS US
consistently run out of work. I have my resume out. Been working there fore 6-1/2 years and now it is time to go with no work every week.
There is an Acusis
.
Acusis
 Great company!!! It was great as DRC and still is as Acusis. The platform is the best, the pay is higher than most companies, and there is plenty of work. It does slow down around holidays (just like every other company...why doctors think they deserve a vacation I'll never understand :). I have never not gotten my Keystrokes in though...yes, they do pay per keystroke. I highly recommend them to anyone wanting to work for a company who expects high quality work!!
Acusis/DRC
What a time to find out about the loss of their biggest client -- just before the holidays. How many will be out of work? 
Acusis/DRC
Appreciate the words of encouragement. Someone posted a note that Spheris got this account. Wonder if that is true. I too loved the account and am so very sorry this has happened. I almost feel like those doctors and NPs and patients are part of a very large extended family. Quite a few got married while I was on this account. Am very worried about loss of benefits though, especially now with a very sick husband. What will you do?
DRC/Acusis
haven't gotten a certified letter, but keep getting the no more files available message when I try to get work from my account for the past 2 days...This is certainly upsetting!
former DRC/ACusis
Yes, I did and I only started this week and love it. It is Landmark Transcription. They use Bayscribe, which is in itself is not the best (I found out there is something wrong with each/every platform) but the company is wonderful, the account I am on is a dream with only 1-2 ESLs. I have only been there a week and so far it has been absolutely terrific. I will let you know if and when things change.
Acusis
Does anyone have any current info on Acusis? How is the workload? How is the new platform?
Acusis
Does anybody work here or have knowledge about the company? At least as far as pay and/or benefits in comparison of some other companies?
Thanks!
Acusis
A friend of mine went there from Medquist and she absolutely loves it. Says she makes good money, is treated well and highly recommends it. I have no first-hand experience but I trust my friend.
Acusis PT
Part time employees must produce 600 lines per day, or 3000 per week. I'm pretty sure you have to be full time to receive health benefits, but I'm not sure about the 401K and PTO benefits.
Hope this helps!
Acusis
Anyone currently working for Acusis? I would really like to find out anything about them. TIA
