That to me is why using the personal normals is so important. When you have a similar procedure/ROS/PE/etc., right there in your report to compare as you transcribe, the dictation suddenly becomes more clear. That can be a real confidence booster. There are some very excellent MTs who have been gracious enough to share, so I say use them. :)

Does this guy's first name begin with a J?
If so, I know exactly what you are going through. Good luck!!!!!!!!!
don't know where to begin..
This all makes me so sad. I first stumbled across this site about a month ago, saw the Word Help thread and thought this was such a fabulous place, transcriptionists helping other transcriptionists. I've done this job for almost 29 years now, presently working part-time as casual staff at a local hospital and an IC for the most part from home. I have to say I love, love, love my job as a medical Transcriptionist - making sense out of nonsense, deciphering difficult dictators, playing detective searching for words. But since I have been coming here, I have just found this all so depressing. So I will continue to love what I do, but I won't be back here. To those who are fighting for our jobs and for respect we deserve, please continue, I wish you all the best.
Yes that was the question to begin with!
I was scheduled a time with the recruiter and the recruiter failed to follow through. That was the whole point of my post, why did the recruiter not call and was this they way they handled everything. I wasn't whining because I didn't hear back from them. That would have been fine not to hear from them, but I was responded to and asked to schedule a time to talk as they wanted to offer me a position.
And I would suggest we begin by having a SM
better education system. The school systems have gone downhill and other countries are ahead of us in math and science.
Does it begin with the letter

Who could begin to guess?
Spheris has production incentives but I couldn't even guess what rates a new employee might be offered. All I've heard is that it is lower now than it used to be.
Let the flaming begin....
I also have had nothing but a good experience with TT after almost 2 years. I have very, very rarely run out of work, and at most for an hour or so. The people in the office have been nothing but kind to me. I was not thrilled with VR, and stated that fact here. I also came back and stated that I was wrong, it just took some getting used to, and now I am back to my normal paycheck (it only took about 3 weeks or so). I realized at the time that you can keep trying to run from VR, but eventually it will catch up to you. I felt bad about what GP and others said they were experiencing with TT, but has not been my experience at all. I would still recommend them to anyone. The business has changed drastically, but for now I have a home, and I too will defend them. I am not saying others haven't had a different experience, just that mine has been pretty much all good.
To begin with, we can get the word out, beyond
After all, THEY are a major player in all the greed that has taken over medical transcription. The American public has quite a few bones to pick with healthcare, already. Might as well add our situation to the fracas, as well.
Bad doesn't even begin to describe it!
I'm all for giving anybody the benefit of the doubt, but if this is actually OSi doing this, they're stooping to the pits of desperation and I don't know who they think would ever trust them after such cheap tactics.
Does anyone know if we can begin 401K any time?
Or is it one of those things that have to be done in January and if you miss it, you wait another year...
Thanks. Have a call in and am waiting for their return phone call.
does this company begin with the letter O?
curious if it does. Sounds almost similar to an experience last year although never made it past the phone calls but made it seem like oh yeah, we have room to hire, and then never heard anything. She said she was working on finding me an account. yeah right.
I work for a company that does not begin with F
that is losing an account in about a month, and I have already started training on my secondary. It is a great company and I wouldn't dream of leaving it. It is highly regarded by everyone. Contact your supervisor. I would look at the boards here for info on your company and if most is good stick with it. If not, look elsewhere. Good luck.
Do their last names begin with P and M. I think they should throw them out before everyone quits.

The letter about the pay cut in ASR was mailed out and is to begin October 1. No question about it.
Didnt you get the letter.
MQ a good place to begin an MT career? I disagree.
I was relatively new to the MT world when I began working at MQ. I recall it as an experience that almost caused me to totally QUIT the MT profession. For one thing, the majority of dictators were horrendous. Add to that the fact that communication with supervisors, QA, etc., was almost nil. Then, I learned about the MT questions person, but I quickly became embarrassed and was afraid that he/she would get tired of me. Working at MQ was definitely a learning experience, but it is my opinion that it harmed me more than helping me. For one thing, I do not enjoy the experience of hypertension and migraine headaches, and I am sure that I would not enjoy the experience of a CVA. Obviously, I do not work for MQ any longer.
As it has already happened twice, I won't be surprised if I again receive a telephone call in which I am invited to reapply and work there again. The first time that they called, I told them to take my name off their list, or put my name on their DO NOT CALL list. But, they might call again. For this reason, I have placed my old trumpet next to the phone. A good blow of the trumpet in the caller's ear will be the only response they get from me. I understand that pushing the O button on a touch-tone phone will create a similar effect.
Horrible doesn't even begin to describe them. If you'll search
the archives you'll get more details and lots of people saying the same thing. You can also click on the post that says related messages (or something like that) in your original post and it will pull up other posts.
This company advertises ALL the time and it isn't because they are getting new accounts.
Can a Diskriter MT tell me when health benefits begin (90 days, 1st full month)?

Jewish high holy days begin at sundown tonight.
