business by the person who owns the business and the person who is purchasing it. She built her business, paid people for the work they did (does not owe anyone more than that), sold it and moved on. Why is it so hard for anyone to understand and why make it personal?

i'm legally bound not to talk about it specifically. but it's the same
just know everything you look up is documented. Sorry I can't elaborate and I didn't mean to be cryptic --I would love to tell everybody what happened but I don't want to be prosecuted.
DSG says we are bound to 500 lines per day
2500 lines per week, 5000 lines per pay period for part time, and double that for full time, even as ICs. Is this correct? It does not look like it from the IRS classification of an IC, but I am really not sure. What is anyone's take on this? And can you really be a part or full-time IC? It sounds like IC is IC period to me and neither full or part-time, as that is another employee classification.
Oracle bound
I've just been hired on to Oracle and I was wondering what their platform is like. The recruiter says it's very similar to DocQScribe which of course I've worked on before but didn't say what it was called. Could she be talking about Bayscribe?
For anyone with experience with this platform please give me some idea of what it's really like. I have read some negative remarks about it but other than that, how was it?
Thanx
You are right. I am bound to run out of stuff sooner or later
and energy and patience. It really isn't Transcend that totally concerns me, it's having to get another job again. Like people above on this board I went with a highly rated company around Christmas time and have to look for another job, because nothing repeat nothing turned out as promised there. Plus I have gone broke trying to hang on and see. I think I am totally disillusioned about the MT career after 20 years of doing it and just am waiting to think out my next option while I sell on e bay. That's all. I have a feeling a lot of us feel this way, and the other day I just about had it with all of the bait and switch in the 2 MTSOs I have been with in the last 3 years (worked for same hospital forever before that). Too bad hospitals outsource these days, at least where I live no one has MTs anymore. So, I am making a life decision here, and doing e bay while I think about it. But if I go to Transcend and it ends up like the other 2 MTSOs with promises broken, rest assured, I am quitting the profession completely.
This is bound to happen wherever you work..sm
as well as in-hospital (or even corporate setting) from my experience. THE MOST DIFFICULT, CRAPPY WORK WILL ALWAYS BE ASSIGNED TO THE MOST COMPETENT WORKER. Ask me if this is fair. Ask me if the difficult work by the most competent worker will be compensated accordingly. Ask me if this is going to change. If you are in a position to confront management about it (i.e., other options) I would, since this is affecting your livelihood, while newbies seem to get a free ride. If not, try to stick it out and start looking.
Not Legally
Legally, I'm bound to not tell you who this company is...but anyone in the MT business has heard of this company, so I'm sure that your first guess about who this is, is right! (I don't think that violates my agreement.)
The legally cannot do that without your authorization
If they did not have you sign a form authorizing them to check your credit report, then that is completely illegal, and I would definitely be going after that company!
In an IC position, they cannot legally
hold you to a schedule or lines. You work when you want, if and when they have work available. You have the right not to work. If there is a schedule/line requirement/or hour requirement then should be considered employee.
Legally, though, you can lie and misrepresent and
what you're saying? I know ethically to expect nothing. I guess I used that term too often. I don't expect any business to be ethical any more, but I do expect them to hide their unethical behavior. I still can't help but think that it has to be illegal in some way, some law somewhere in labor board land, that a company cannot misrepresent itself by posing as an employee and making -- false -- claims about their company, i.e. the lies. That's the part that I am just going to pursue as long as I can - For instance with myself, I share with others in the industry and others who know me and ask, the BS with the company I worked for. It was the entire MT nightmare scenario rolled into 1 job. Everyone shakes their heads and wonders how I found this place, and I share how we have forums on the internet and I had only read praises for this company for a solid year. Well, turns out the praising posters for a solid year are not the MTs, not one. So, to me, that was unethical and I still believe illegal. I'm tired of the bait-and-switch BS, and as long as I have it in writing, I'll try to find someone to help me. If just one MTSO got in trouble for lying on the internet, maybe others would take notice. I know the MTSOs certainly try to get the MTs to be made scapegoats and lots of companies go to no ends to stop internet blogging, etc, about their companies. Well, the same should go for them when they lie and misrepresent, while posing as an MT. I think I need a drink, don't you agree? Too bad I have to work in an hour, but I'll make up for it at midnight. I'll have a double! Anybody care to join me? LOL
Only way to save reports legally is if the
client request you too. If, heaven forbid, you are burglarized and your computer taken, then everything is out there for the world to see potentially. I would be fired in a heartbeat if I saved reports I did for my employer.
Looks American but isnt. All MT work done in India. Hosps in IL dont know. Bound to fall.
Legally, they cant give health insurance to SEs or ICs. They tried that before and had to stop it.

I've got a question about contracts. How legally binding are they?
I was reading the MDI discussion below and a couple of ex-MDI MTs have said that their contracts were changed while they were still employed forcing them to work different days, different schedules, etc. I worked for JLG not too long ago and they basically did the same thing. I signed a contract stating a certain wage and then they basically breached the contract and completely changed my wage.
So what are the deal with contracts anyway?!?!??!?!?! Why do we bother to sign them if the companies aren't honoring their side of it? And shouldn't the MT be able to take legal action against an MTSO that has breached their contract? Shouldn't there be legal ramifications? The MTSOs make sure to put in noncompete clauses in the contracts so we don't steal any of their clients and try to scare us into believing that if we try to steal their clients, they'll sue, but then they completely disregard the fact that they signed the contract and they could be sued for not meeting their end of the deal!
I HAVE HAD IT!!!! These MTSOs are getting away with too much! I have a file folder the size of a freaking PDR with nothing but contracts I've received throughout my career as an MT and I'd bet that if I sit down and go through them, not one of the MTSOs honored them.
Rather than all those phone calls, why doesn't MQ just do things legally and mail out
defining company policies and procedures, benefits, etc. It seems they just don't want to be legal and upfront with their MT's.
What company does not have an employee handbook outlining their policies and procedures, etc. As of late, MQ does not put much of anything in writing -- even the supes will not respond to our questions by imail, but always calls us back via phone. These phone calls really need to be recorded when this happens. Telephone conversations seem to be all the proof of ANYTHING that we MQ MT's have anymore. Have you ever heard of a company that will not respond to emails. MQ has gotten really bad about this in the last year or so. I would much prefer a company to put things in writing.
If you don't complete what can you do? I don't,,,
work myself silly trying to get caught up. If I'm short, so be it....it's my paycheck, so I am really only harming myself in the wallet.The thing that irritates me is that when everyone is short they try to make up their time on their days off during my regular work time, taking work away from me.
you are a complete mess!!

Why The Complete Turnaround... NOW

Complete medical transcription
has anyone ever heard of the co Complete Medical Transcription? I was offered a job, ic status, but when she called the caller id came up as mynameisjoanna, WI no number. Also her email just says joanna. do you think this is an overseas co. any thoughts??
It took me 6 months to get complete refund...
and I left the company in January. They at first only refunded me 100 dollars and said due damage to the monitor they would not be refunding the remaining 200. I explained to them there must be some mistake because the monitor was in perfect condition when I shipped it back to them but they still refused to refund the remaining 200 dollars, but then out of the blue I received a check last week for the 200 dollars and they sent an email saying Although the equipment was damaged, we have decided to refund the remaining 200 dollars anyway. Okay whatever but the equipment was not damaged when I shipped it back, but I am glad they decided to do the right thing.
The company has a complete checklist...
They state you must have Win XP for example. They mention that Word 2000 is not compatible, but that Word 2003 is. They don't say anything about Word 2002. I work on another software that is web based and it's compatible with a USB pedal, so I kinda don't get why EditScript would need a 9-pin pedal to work, in which case I would need an adapter since my PC is all USB.

I'm being hateful to complete strangers?
you've got it all figured out, now don't you? Guess you told me, huh?
Are you dyslexic by any chance, or just in a rush to judgment? The first 10 years of my career, I was an in-house MT with great pay and benefits. We were respected employees in the hospital and I enjoyed a reputation as being a top-notch MT....that's how I got a 30% raise with free benefits at Baylor College Medicine and later at Methodist Hospital in the Texas Medical Center in Houston, working during the hey-day of heart transplant advances made by such world-renown doctors as Dr. Denton Cooley and Dr. Michael DeBakey. You may have heard of them. So you see, I never really considered myself a failure, having been in the position to have the privilege of being a part of that. I guess I needed you to bring that to my attention.
After outsourcing, I maintained my connections to the Baylor and the TMC through my accounts and typed my way through ground-breaking AIDS research and later pioneering advances in plastic surgery. Silly me. I didn't measure my success in terms of dollars and cents, worldly possessions and the like. I took great pride in my work (still do) and learned to struggle through the love/hate relationship I had with it. At least I had the satisfaction of knowing that I was a part of something that was intelligent, important, worthwhile and helpful to others. I stayed in it for the only real reason I have ever understood throughout the years...quality patient care. I had a contribution to make to that. You see, dear, it was not an industry to me...it was my calling.
My post was an attempt to address the unnecessary hate part of that relationship. My comments were not directed toward some mean-spirited stranger in need of a self-righteous superiority fix, but feel free to trounce me to your heart's content. I did not put in all those years of hard work to be run out of the profession by theiving subcontractors or the likes of you. I had a story to tell and a message to deliver to the penny pinching TTD scavenger, no more, no less.
Your judgmental, snide and trite observations are too petty to merit further comment, except to say that you need to reserve the pity party for yourself. You are the one who has made a sad and meaningless commentary here, not me.
But what about the ER report being disjointed and not complete - sm
Is that the way to run a medical record? Is that the way to report a human experience? I think something needs to be done about this sloppy and I do mean sloppy reporting of a patient medical case.
The info given by Happy MT is very complete,
but do remember the amount of income you do your calculations on is the amount AFTER your deductions. Refer to IRS website for deductible office space, equipment, and expenses, etc. for home office.
Sale?
What sale?
i mean FOR sale

why do you think it's for sale, and what are you asking them,
nm
Hmm, WM has a lap top on sale right now
for only 400 bux. I just wonder if you can use a different keyboard and how cumbersome (or not) it would be to do that. I don't think I'd be able to type fast on a lap top keyboard
Thanks! How long does the test typically take to complete? nm

I was also told I had to complete 8 hours even if I got my lines before that. nm

If you want a job, and they want to know how to fit you for which department, best to say what you can do like basic 4 acute 10 years, etc. Nothing wrong with that question. They are just trying to match your skills with the job. Some MTs have only done clinic notes or psych notes and some have never done ops no matter 10 or 20 years, etc. Put yourself in their shoes and you will find a reasonable answer. IMHO
uh, judging by this complete thread, sounds like a lot

Craigslist is full of complete idiots.
The funny thing is, I've seen dealers post with grammar/spelling like that. 
I make it a point to not buy things from people like that. I mean, a typo here and there is one thing, but some of them type like 5 year olds and I don't want to give money to idiots!
Rumor is they are up for sale
but I have not heard anything more about that.
If MQ were for sale it wouldn't ....sm
necessarily be a negative thing for the MQ employees regardless of who a new owner might be (same goes true for any company being sold regardless of the industry).
MTSO's for sale
Does anyone know of any MTSO's for sale?
companies for sale
What in the world are you talking about. I am not from MQ. I opporate a small company out of Michigan.
Keystrokes is for sale? sm
I was just heard from my boss that Keystrokes is for sale for $30 million. He was looking at them but thinks that Spheris will be the ones who will actually buy them.
I know that they are in the U.S.A. only. What will happen once Spheris buys them? Why Spheris and not MQ?

Heartland - Status of Sale
Heartland is such a horrible company, it has been announced that SPI has backed out of purchasing them for good!
Almost all in-house employees are gone, majority of my MT friends left! I don't think they will survive with all these employees gone.
I'll be sure to pass that along to the sale guy.
Ever feel like no one in the transcription industry really knows to things work other than the MTs?
Just remember.....everything/anything is for sale for the right price sm
No matter what, everything and anything has a price tag. Good luck to all KS MTs.
I mean the owner on the sale. The only winner here. nm

VR is example of great sale pitch, not way of
one angle the sales person is using.
