In my experience, our work has always slowed down just before school starts.  Most people are focusing on buying school clothes, books, supplies, etc., and aren't taking the time nor spending the money to go to the doctor or into the hospital for elective surgeries.  Believe me, after the kids get into school and start passing the "bugs" around, it will pick up - or at least it always does for us.

I think a lot of people may be leaving just because of the unknown. Myself  I plan on sticking it out. Of course we got the short update today. I myself need the insurance and love the time off.

Not sure who your sup is, but i guess i have been lucky as a remote MT. I have had not been given any thing bad to say about anyone in Toledo, or remote sups. At this point all i can do is wait and see.

Medscribe was the worst job I ever had in 30 years of working.

I am now happy and hopeful for the future.  Seriously, that job was depressing.

I was also never audited before DSG.  Furthermore, I was not audited my first year at DSG.  That was something that they have always made up as they go along. 

The only thing High School or immature here is your inability to present any valid arguement.  All we hear is how much you feel sorry for me... and dont really feel sorry for me.  I feel sorry for you.  DSG is a total rut of a company to be stuck in.  I hope they miss me every day - I was a good worker and always went above and beyond for them, and was never appreciated or rewarded for it. 

Unless you want to point out something positive, a true and valid point, dont bother with the rhetorical responses. 

I am a single Mom. Nine years in the field. I am deserpate to get OUT!  The thing is I don't really hate transcription. Years ago I went to school and started an RN program. I really intensely disliked it. I am ananxiety type person. while I enjoy people I didn't like the stress or the hands on aspects of care. So after thought I went into transcription. This almost 10 years ago and in-house positions were readily available. I had one within 1 month of gradulating from a community college 1-year MT certificate program. I also received my Asssociates in Science with all the credits I had.  I worked for a large teaching hospital for a year and then went home to work from them. Within a years I was making pretty decent money, great benefits. Couldn't have been better fora  single Mom with 2 small kids Well it didn't last. The hospital outsourced before my 2 year anniversary.  I was devastated.  I didn't know what else was out there but struggled for YEARS to find anything comparable to that first job. I have worked for many nationals, one local hospital in-house (with a tyrannt of a supervisor), and a few local services.  I am making peanuts. I don't even have insurance right now. yes I know there services who offer it but the accounts seem to be so terrible. May be most of the good work is being outsource or may be I am just burned out. 

I had considered returning to finish the RN just because I amassed so many credits towards this degree and the job security and pay is so much better than MT. But the stress and anxiety of the job and schooling would do me in. Also, being a single parent I really cannot take 2 years off working or even working part-time to go through an RN program.

I looked in coding/RHIT because at laest I could build on my MT skills, but that seems as dead-ended as MTing.  I had heard coding will go the same outsourcing route as MT.

So now I am looking at business degrees, maybe accounting. If it were totally up to me I would go in occational therapy or speech therapy but given that it's a masters degree its simple beyond me at this time without the support of another adult.

It's so sad what this field has become. If things were different I would get the coding RHIT and just stay in health information but the writing is on the wall.... time to get out.

I WOULD RUN FAST>>>>>>>>>>>> NOW!!!!!!! 

Been there, and done that myself!  GO!!!!

I worked for Focus for almost 5 yrs but with new management - aka Nuance - no thanks - income dropped, accounts lost, no job security and I was losing $500 a month compared to when Focus ran the show!!  You did great for leaving!!!
