In Reply to: I did psych and almost - went cuckoo
at the reports we would get. It was adult/adolescent drug and psych wards. I loved it, thought easy and not boring. Remember the time the man kept complaining about his neck hurting. Went to 1 doctor after the other, no help, no one listening. He finally had enough and got a noose, got a chair and decided to hang himself and end it all. He jumped off, popped his neck and guess what, sorta like a chiropracter, solved his problem and he was a happy man. Just 1 of the many.

Hopefully no one died. I'm just saying..sm
that for the most part, people disrespect companies because of something they themselves did, not the company. A lot of people like to gripe about nothing just to get their nose out there. If they don't like the company they are working for, then they should leave.
But see, if YOU died, your DH could probably
and he wouldn't have to sell the home he loved.
The thread seems to have died
why revive it?
Who died and left you boss?
I already know 1 person who died at her desk, and
If MT continues the way it's been going, I'm sure those 2 numbers will go up.
Who died and made you boss (or MTSO)-LOL
and who died and made YOU the pants kicker???
such arrogance!tsk.
Dont know who died but Oh Brother has my vote.

You said I would love to QA you stuff myself. I just love it. You probably just need to stick with whatever else you are trying to do.
cant stop laughing

I am laughing here as I cannot take a test
I want to use my pedal but.........this is crazy.... never mind the test is too ridiculous!
Look for lawsuits. Like we need someone laughing at us.

I am laughing so hard here...
Don't let someone make money off of our sweat and tears, when we could be making that money ourselves. TTD can go fly a kite for sure! 
Where DID you come from? You have me laughing myself silly!
Love the comparison with MQ and MDI-MD...
Not even close - laughing
I am just one who has been trying to offer 'food for thought' posts, that's all.
I'm sorry, laughing so hard
I can't type this.
I can't stop laughing! Nice one! nm

I'm crying over here laughing so hard
no message so you don't have to bother looking inside the post. I thought same thing when I first got here...thought boy is this NM lady annoying. LOL!
Rolling on the floor laughing .... nm

when you are finished laughing, pls read
I strongly disagree with you. To say all MTs are highly skilled is to demean the whole group. There are roughly -- very roughly -- two categories of MTs. There are those who do it because they can stay home and breed their chihuahas and herd their babies. Then there are those who absolutely love the field of medicine and work for that reason. I began in-house and never dreamed that I would eventually work from home. The MTs who are willing to research Hiszysrinksigo's syndrome instead of blanking it SHOULD be paid more per line than the puppie brokers.
I am laughing at there is always work on second and third shifts. If you say so.
Go on with the bashing. Im prepared.
If I could only figure it out...stop laughing...LOL

I don't see ONE single post where anyone is laughing at the SM
MT who is owed the money. NOT ONE. We are laughing at the so-called friend who comes on here insulting and bashing anyone who *dares* to ask a question about the situation and who stoops as low as to insult people about anything from their screen name (which is really mature) or saying they are in a 12-step program or calling people insecure just because of their screen name. THAT is what we are laughing at. I would think that was quite obvious...
Fell off my chair laughing so much at that!
Thanks for the laughter. Hahahahahahaha....
While you are laughing, that might not be a good thing because
I thought I was reading up at the top of this that the pay for VR at TT was 3.5 which is even less than what this person is making. I think at 3.5 or less folks are really going to be unhappy.
Losing ANY job is no laughing matter
.
sick and on treatment and they were laughing?
honestly, one day these people will get their due.. unreal that people can laugh at someone's misfortune, an employee no less. Tacky and sad.
CrankyBeach, how can I be laughing even as my BP rises?
I've of course had the insurance company experience with an illness of our own, so your too-vibrant description of doing it all day has my stress level leaping even as I relax waiting for my smothered chicken to finish. Never on this earth. Maybe in the afterlife if I'm very bad.
Hey, stewed, laughing as I read this one
A gourdboard, who would have thought that 1 up!!
Rolling on floor laughing my butt off.

You mean, but not PSYCH?
LOL
psych
How can I find them? Could not find anything on them....is that an MT company or the name of a hospital? Thanks for any help.......
Psych
Thank you Been There, Done That. I appreciate your honesty and courage to speak out.
Psych
Thank you Old CMT. Very sound advice.
Psych
Thank you NM. This board is wonderful for helping us new MTs. I did not know that it was illegal not to pay for 45 days. I asked because I had never heard about going that long before receiving pay before. I received an email from another past employee. She said this woman is very nice over the phone but was very mean and critical to her when she was an employee. She claims she was fired for being late once during an emergency. I think I have decided I will not look further into this employer. If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck .... Thank you so much for your time.
Psych
Thank you, thank you NM. This woman made me feel like such a fool for questioning 45 days before a first payment. I am new and was so unsure. She kept telling me I am sooooooo easy to work for.You have no reason to question me. You are just nervous because you are new. She seemed so nice, but also kind of like a snake oil salesman. Ha! Ha! She kept yakking about the so easy to work for so much that it made me uneasy. That is why I came here to search. I am grateful for job and experience, but I want to work for someone that is honest from the get go. Thank you so much for educating me.
I did psych and almost
did tons and tons of it, strictly psych hospital - adults and children - for quite awhile. Figured I had to get away from it when I found myself thinking Well, maybe he really does get signals from outerspace through his neighbor's television but the deciding factor was when I thought What is really so terrible about saving your feces in your dresser drawer THAT SETTLED IT FOR ME!!! 
The positive side was that it was EXCELLENT money, EASY dictators, really a gravy account.
Just try to remember that feces belongs in the toilet, NOT in the dresser, and you will do fine
psych
Is it for KCS? If so, email me privately.
Psych pay -- too low
I pay my IC's 8 to 9 cpl, I set up standards for each type of consult with tests in the standards, so lot of times they have 2 to 4 pages already done when they begin and just have to plug in some test results and a few words here and there. I make 3 - 4 cpl off of them for the pick up of tapes, proof the reports, send back to the doctors, bill them. They also get 2-3 days to get the reports done. Each report is between 400 to 600 lines for them. Takes about 60 to 90 minutes to get each one done. To me, 0.6 is way too low. But that is me. I cannot make 50% off of my IC's and look at myself in the mirror. Patti

Try Vitallines (info@vitallines.net). I worked for them a couple of months but had to give it up as I couldn't work for 2 companies as my work picked up with my first company. The owners are very nice, fair, and the pay is average; but my own opinion, I would take a good employer, steady work, easy dictators, and very nice people over a high CPL. They stay in close contact with you if need help or have questions, but don't breathe down your neck, and leave you alone to do your work. They have an onsite IM setup in case you have questions and can ask other employees who are also very helpful. Everyone is so nice and helpful. No ESLs. I typed for a Behavioral Health/Mental Health account out of Georgia dealing with adolescent and adults. Their contact number is 678-799-4665. The owners' name are Meg and Charles Jordan.
I hope this helps.
There are a lot of MTs out there who like psych accounts.
They're super easy to type with tons of macros and not much technical medical language. It's cake money. People just aren't willing to give that up, or it's going to VR.
psych accounts
I know that Medware just got a new account that has a large psych facility.
Psych Transcription
Hello! I am a psych MT as well. I am working part time but I am looking for another part time job. Care to share if your company is recruiting? Feel free to e-mail.
TIA! 
psych test
Isn't this illegal?
Maybe you need the psych eval. sm
I do believe MTSO is a medical transcription service owner - therefore, it is a person.
Secondly, you read into my post too much! No one criticized you, the recruiter, unless you have something to be defensive about, your post was very defensive in nature.
Thirdly, I was voicing my opinion, why did you take to heart? Do you really think a psych eval for MTs is a smart solution? I do not!
That is all I have to say on this topic!
Psych Evals
Agree wholeheartedly. Companies should be the ones being psychoanalyzed for their behaviors and "corporate cultures"!!!!!!
Psych evals.....sm
are growing in popularity in the job market and it's not just transcription. Employers try to screen those out that they think aren't compatible with the position; however, they have to be careful that they don't reject someone over something that could be covered under the ADA laws.
psych test
Last time I checked, SpongeBob and Xbox are names of cartoon characters and video games. What are they doing on a psych typing test in the first place? In the grand scheme of things, does the assessment, diagnosis and/or plan of treatment for psych patients hinge on the correct spelling of such things? Talk about not seeing the forest for the trees. Ridiculous! They should have their heads examined.
Move on to greener pastures where your skills will be better utilized and appreciated. Who would want to work for them anyway?
