Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

From of the tone of these posts, perhaps an early morning drink would be in order. sm

I'm not saying I do not sympathize with the no-work situation.  I have been gone from TT for almost 2 years now, and it happened back then (without the holiday as an excuse) and will continue to happen will be my prediction.  Being called sweetie and told you rock doesn't butter the bread. 


You have the right idea, though ... relax, enjoy the holiday.  I plan an afternoon on the patio relaxing with a friend and some margaritas ... hold the omelet and bring on the guacamole.

I would, except the tone of some of your posts leads me to believe
?
Clinic or acute care? I am looking to work 5-6 hours a day during the morning and early SM
afternoon hours.  Which type of work is more appropriate for this kind of schedule, clinic or acute care? I really do have some time constraints outside of these hours as well as on weekends, so I need to find something where I can concentrate on working during those daytime hours.  I am a newer Transcriptionist (at this point looking for IC), and I am hoping to find a place to stay for a long time.   Any advice appreciated.   Thanks
I forget which of the early posts on this subject
it was, but one of them made me think it was possibly a misunderstanding, that the pay cuts would be either for radiology or for the move to VR. Am I wrong? I'm getting weary of the job jerking my emotions around.
by the tone of her ad, she almost sm
sounds like she is NOT an MT and is trying to pick up accounts for others to do to make herself some money.  If so, I wonder what she is paying them out of this 6 cpl?  If this is the case, it would have to be going to India or the Phillipines.  MT stars needs to pull that ad off the board.  But they probably will throw people off the board who insulted the poor baby!
Rather nasty tone -- that's what they get (sm)
I've been in admin before. If you are a good enough MT, a good company would save your resume for the future, possibly contact you and let you know there is nothing presently open, or even contact you for testing. Smart recruiters don't just put valuable people on junk lists (valuable being key--I would put the Dear Sir kind of countless offshore applicants in Junk Mail in a heartbeat). That sounds more like someone with a little Napoleon complex than anything.
because of the tone of your post
if I were an MTSO, I wouldn't respond. Sorry, but it doesn't come across as a real inquiry, but more of a taunt.
Just the tone in her ad would make me not
want to apply, but also Meditech SUCKS big time and I think is really an outdated platform. 
I took great offense to the tone in that job ad.....sm
I have typed dermatology for over three years and it is not as easy as everyone seems to think it is. When my docs are dictating, they not only talk about their dermatology problems, but other medical problems as well and that can be any specialty under the sun.

Personally, I think she/he can take their job and stick it where the sun don't shine!!
Did she drink on the job? How do
you know she's a drunk?  I see you haven't posted any answers to questions or comments.  Whoever she is must have said the honest truth ------ drunk or no drunk.  You're cruel.  Wish I knew what posting you are referring to.  I would E-mail the MT and find out what company you work for.
ooh.. I would take that massage and drink
x
I'll drink to that
:)
I drink one just about every day. Helps with periods. sm
The soy actually makes my periods shorter and less cramps, which is a HUGE deal to me.
I'm not using them for weight loss, just as a high-protein, low fat meal or snack, especially on days that I do weight training.
Did you drink your username. MT6pack?..nm
nm
You left out *eat a ham sandwich* and *drink a beer*. sm
(wink) - Gotta have those!
Does WMX still have you "clock out" for every drink of water, snack, or pee break you take? No
s
Thank you, I am young. Do NOT drink alcohol if you take Xanax, dummy..
MT advanced to a recruiter, LMAO !

I got a travel mug! I work at HOME. I drive 10 miles a week. I don't drink coffee. Sheesh! lo
nm
Not the only one. My co has gag order too.

What do you mean by out of order?
Do they offer IC or employee status, full and/or part time? Just curious. With respect to the out of order comment, do you mean disorganized?
Out of order
By out of order I mean she was downright rude when I suggested that I would like to work with my text Expander and dictionaries rather than theirs.
ETP has a gag order on the employees
and few privately.
Unfortunately in order to make any
money, you have to be the MTSO.  If you apply with nationals and the people who have the accounts, you are not going to make the big money, they are, otherwise, why would they need you.  It is very unfortunate, but it is true. 
Me, too! And to think I joined DRC in order to get away - nm

That's because they have a gag order on employees
when you hire on, you have to agree not to talk about them on the internet and give them permission to read your mail if they want to see what you write. Also, you agree not to participate in any kind of union activity. This all happened after they hired some consultants to restructure their business practices...and one of the owners even canned his MIL. Fun at family get togethers, huh?

You might get some private emails, but you won't see anything posted in public by current employees.
That is probably a tall order with only

Excuse me, so you are saying that in order to (sm)
get a raise in this business and be compensated correctly for years of knowledge and medical terminology, that we have to increase our speed?

Ummm...NO! In 12 years of doing this profession (and I choose to so someone else is not raising my kids - and don't you dare call that a benefit either because it is harder) I have NEVER gotten a raise.

I should be compensated for the 12 years of knowledge that I have, not told be work faster and harder. Every other profession does that - REWARDS THEIR WORKERS FOR THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE.

It is not a matter of being selfish and want, want, want. It is a matter of what is right and wrong.
the new world order
Welcome to life at Acuspheris
court order?
Terri Davis is gone by court order? How? Why? Such dish!

Who's the businessman running the place?

More info is needed! Totally interested now!
They probably have a gag order on their employees - nm
asldk
Keystrokes, Execuscribe, MDI-MD in no particular order. nm

8 cpl isn't a 'tall order' even for a newbie. It's not
.
US MT's are paid so little per line that in order to
reports as possible, and the faster you go, the more junk is likely to be produced. I try to proofread everything I produce, but when my tenancy is on the chopping block and the rent is overdue, I type as fast as I can, don't proofread, and hope for the best. It's all about survival.
QA must have heard it in order to edit it sm
They knew the sound quality was bad. They had to know. I worked somewhere where the doctors dictated on a tape recorder and then played it into the phone. It was a nightmare and when I said anything, they said they could hear it fine. It was not fine at all.
It was distant, the volume was low and it was fuzzy.
Other than through a court order!!!! Never said the info was NEVER given out at all! nm
laskdjf
Do you have to be local to their office in order to work for them? nm
xx
I know you need to type 1800 lines a day in order to get 11 cpl.

correction..."in order to work as an MT in the US"
...
Emails daily regarding TAT, order of work
it's usually first thing in morning; then the auto-generated emails regarding STATS. Otherwise, it's *no news is good news.*

It would seem strange to get no communication at all.
Your point? They have to obey a court order. nm
nm
hmm, strange huh? You are right, wrong order of business seems to me nm
,
p.r.n. (and search won't allow periods in order get the right company)
Is the other company in Ohio as well?
She said she's going through the resumes in chronological order and is kind of swamped right now.
s
No, we did not give out information. No court order involved. sm
Obviously, TT was able to look at the information provided in the posts and determine who they FELT were making the posts.

No information has been given out by MTStars on this situation whatsoever.

Move on.

Yes, a day early!!!

Sorry about that, it's still early...nm

MQ has required a 40-hour commitment for years, in order to get benefits. nm

My understanding was that in order to receive Medicare/Medicaid payment sm
providers will be required to have EMR.
I have always been an early worker but now..sm
there is NO work and when it does come in it seems everyone is waiting like me to grab it and then there is NO work as there were only a few reports. I addressed these concerns only to be told I needed to be more flexible.
I was asking who the one who paid early is! nm
nm
To early riser
This is exactly who the posts are talking about. Gosh, wonder if this is the only 1 who apparently does this time after time because most seem to know who it is.
whoops, go FOR it, too early
