Veddy interesting! nm

Hmmmm - that's interesting
I read here that some hospital is docking the pay of their in-house MTs because they can't edit as fast as escription says they should be able to. Now, who to believe?
HMMMM
The time it took for you to post this, you could have already dialed them up yourself and the got the answer straight from the horse's mouth!
hmmmm
Would not be my first choice... criminal history / conviction problems. Think strings back in Sept about their legal issues in newspapers were deleted from this site. May be a good fit for you, but check it out thoroughly first.
Did you ever think hmmmm
Did you ever take a test and know good and well you aced it only to have a person call you back after several days to tell you you had failed? I tested only because I had approached them, never called them back, got another job in the meantime (theirs was fulltime and I wanted part which I got) and then today they are telling me didn't pass-- don't believe it with my 30+ years of MTing and told him exactly that. Thanked him for his time, of course. What is to be will be anyway is the way I look at life....
Hmmmm
I sure don't recall it taking that long. I was hired a little over a year ago. I didn't go through any testing process at all... Just an interview. I have been totally satisfied and happy with them so far. Good luck!
hmmmm...
Well, it doesn't sound much different than my situation. I have 3 accounts, was hired to do OPs specifically, I also do all cardiology diagnostic types as well, and willing to help out on other work types occasionally. I really don't think it is a matter of that work type running out.
I think I will have to inquire, just doesn't add up. Thanks for the advice.
Hmmmm
Why do I feel like somebody is snooping in my mailbox all of a sudden? Exactly how do you know that's not me? I do over 20,000 lines a pay period at least, sometimes more, so as you can see the highest pay of the new incentive scale is a definite increase, at least for me.
hmmmm
Well one would hope that there's enough work to go around. If that's the case then making sure clients get their reports in a timely manner is a good thing and makes our TAT's look good as well. The idea that they'll take just anyone who'll walk in thru the door over there is a good example of how little thought the MT company heads put into this kind of work. Makes one feel special doesn't it {sarcasm implied}.
Hmmmm
and that is exactly when a great company begins to fail. Have to start hiring more micro managers, transcription leads, etc. Too big too fast, and this is exactly what this sounds like to me, AND I have been with companies like this before, it is NOT GOOD. You end up being a number, not a name. So many companies fail when they grow too fast, not just transcription. Number one no-no. Last year the fight on who to work for was between Keystrokes and Transtech. As of now, they are both getting negative reviews, big ones....stick with a mom and pop co. who treat you right, KNOW YOUR NAME, you are not just a number. You will make plenty of money for those bills, guarantee it! 
Hmmmm...
I applied for a position at Keystrokes, was contacted by the CEO saying my test scores were excellent, was offered a job and sent paperwork to complete, sent back my paperwork with all my personal info and here it is 2 days later and I have not heard back from the recruiter after sending an email regarding whether or not she received my paperwork. Hmmmm.... .... 
Hmmmm
I'm not too sure what to think of it either. I've only been with DVHP for two months. So far I'm enjoying it. I do know that Transcend does the transcription for one of the hospitals near me (docs I have transcribed before). I will be calling in for the conference call Sunday (missed Friday's because I was out Christmas shopping). I would like it if I kept the same accounts I'm on now, since I'm pretty used to their formats, doctors, etc. Then again, it would be nice to be added to that local hospital as well, since I am very familiar with the doctors and area.
I've heard good and bad things about Transcend, but I've heard the same about many other MTSOs as well. We will just have to see. When is this merger supposed to take place?
No hmmmm about it
if you live near East LA. It's a very common term there, unfortunately. I used to transcribe psychiatry and we had a lot of rehab reports with guys who were jonesing for their next fix.
Hmmmm
 Thanks for the info ...no worries about me coming on board then.
Seemed a little too good to be true at first, then the flags started popping up.
Best wishes!
IN RESPONSE MS. HMMMM....
you aren't to bright are you?
Hmmmm...are they hiring??!?
x
Hmmmm... I dont think so
xx
hmmmm - can anyone say antitrust?
Just wondering here, may have to wiki that one. How large would they have to be to constitute a monopoly in the industry?
I worked, ever so briefly, for focus and it was a disaster. Start, middle, finish. It was, I suppose, a great place to get my feet wet, and if they had followed through on their promises as they said they would, I would probably still be there. I had a real problem, though, with the whole smile and nod policy with the support staff. You know, they don't understand a word/text message we say and so they smile and nod?
Anyhoo, there is my two cents.

hmmmm....34 years and going ....
working exclusively at home for the last 9 years has revived my love for the work, as well as changing over to being an SE vs employee in the last few years. I love the freedom from a rigid schedule. I have always enjoyed medical knowledge, feel a sense of satisfaction from deciphering the difficult dictators and making a sensible, readable accurate report out of mumbojumbo. Course I love sailing through the easier ones in between. I guess I still find it challenging on some levels too. Maybe if you find it too hard to do 'one more report' sometimes, then it may help to work a bit less, take more vacation time, to try a new account, new hours, new company or change up something...get a massage, get refreshed!!
Hmmmm, that should be search box, DUH
Hmmmm, I wonder who transcribes these reports.
Hmmmm.... Sounds like you're better off without them anyway!
nm
Glued to my seat???? hmmmm
Hmmmm ... this is a good question ... sm
and one I'd also like the answer to! ...
sounds like slander...hmmmm
;)
Hmmmm has no right to voice things like that...sm
Every poster has the right to post her/his opinion on this board, in a respectfully manner, and let the dicussions begin and go on!
Nobody has the right to tell anybody to 'look for another job or profession' or 'to shut up'.
Hmmmm. Did you just suggest that people not come to MTStars?
You are a total mess, and how anyone could take anything you say seriously is beyond me.
You have a real problem! Please seek help!
Geez.. you must work where I have been working..hmmmm
Sounds familiar
Reading about how other country handled this, hmmmm
just on Entertainment Tonight they were telling about some pretty raunchy things, for example saying body found in net hose and other items that maybe should be left alone. It is not just other country giving out information, better look at our country also. Some of the weekly tabloids get things like this and run with it.
I've got a pretty nasty ESL account with them and I don't get 10 cpl. Hmmmm....nm

Hmmmm..I was afraid of that. I guess I saw that coming. Everyone said it'd change with the merger
and the days of a gift card would be gone. Oh well, it kind of goes along with everything else, different way to get shorted on line counts too. I guess ...This is what they call cutbacks. Tis' the season
What's interesting is...SM
The negative posts seem to be the most prevalent here. For almost every company that's been bashed here, I have heard MTs who say that they had a positive experience there (although not necessarily posted on this board).
Frequently, when positive posts are made, there are accusations of "recruiter," "management," "damage control," etc. Therefore, I take everything with a grain of salt.
Interesting
Very intesting post
VERY INTERESTING
What is CC Road? a freakin Mail Boxes ect?
Interesting
Glad to hear that other people feel the same. We were fed all the same lines from the so called recruiter. Glad to see her go, maybe now we will hear the truth?
Interesting. I did not know that.
Was she able to send out her obnoxious snotgrams at OSI, or did they rein her in?
Interesting, no? (nm)

Well - that's interesting - sm
Maybe I need to reconsider. Are you FT or PT, if you don't mind saying?
i always look at ads. might be something interesting
bet many do the same.
interesting
that is interesting. Do you think that mainly is where there is more of a populated community? I have been thinking about getting business cards made up and checking out the area where I live. But I recently moved from the atlanta area and in a smaller community in the north. I have a feeling I won't be quite as lucky.
interesting
The ad asks for a certain player and the website states a DVIPS - and gives a link that does not work. confusing. The website is interesting but I wonder if they tell us which accounts we are primary and which we are secondary like their website states, would we get a heads up on when we have to cover. They must be pretty lenient with days off, with every account having a secondary covrage.
would be interesting
to know who this thoughtless company is??
Very interesting...did they say why?
x
This is very interesting
I have just given notice at the national I work at because I have never gotten such a low line count. I thought it was probably me...but now that I read this, guess I can put the blame elsewhere. At first I thought ExText was great but after a few months on it I realized I have never done such a low amount of lines.
Wow!!! That was interesting...
They are probably going through another employee turnover because of lack of work...and desperate, I guess??
interesting
I called Acusis and actually had a bit of a hard time getting anyone on the phone. I asked if they hire US MTs and they said not currently. I asked if any of their accounts are done here in the US and the reply was no they are all done in India. I also asked whether or not they had acquired companies that had accounts that had to be done in the US and I was told it was all done in India.
We think? interesting.
How many fingers are on your keyboard? Or did you just screw up the quote?
interesting
tone? Taunt - Everyone bypasses that I stated very clearly - I would work for a company that had their problems if they told me up front, I would work for less if I had the real deal up front, that I was interested in what they had to say - truly interested - no wonder 2/3 MTs on this board feel they get no where with the other 1/3 on this board - not to mention their MTSOs they work with. A sincere question turns to taunt and tone. I hate to say it, but if a question like that or request like that gives a taunting feel to some MTSO - I wonder how they get along in the business world - it seems as an IC I get more taunt and tone than this request.
The funny thing is that remark regarding dumb time bomb below to someone got very little comment - can you explain that since tone and taunting is your forte?
Interesting..
I never heard this. I worked for them for a year and quit about 4 months ago. I would love to know more about this!
very interesting
Very interesting....I worked for Cymed/Spi for 7 months before I quit and moved onto my present job since June 16. I moved on cause they took away the two accts I was working on and I needed more work....that is very interesting.....
very interesting indeed.....
Interesting - sm
I just spoke to someone from there today. Not the best representative for the company to say the least. I asked how many lines per week average and she sang the same song as she did for keyedup in the last group of posts for Compudex. She said that she would not guaranty linecount because transcriptionists up and quit and have no loyalty. Maybe that should tell her something. In order to accept any job, I would want to know what the average line count per week was so that I could assure that I would be making enough money. Why would she not give out that information??? She said the client would dictate 70 or so short procedure notes and down load them all at once then you have a couple of days to transcribe them. I do not know, but it sounds fishy. Oh and also when she left me the message to call her, she made sure that I knew to call the number that she gave me because it was her personal phone number not the company number. I don't know I am pretty sure if she was offering 15 cpl, I would not take this one, and she was only offering 7.
