slip up
a super let it slip
Uh....before you stop visiting here
you might want to check out the post further down the page. Doesn't sound like sour grapes to me, more like you did that one wrong.

Maybe the reason you have caught a lot of grief on this board is because you apparently know how to dish it out but you can't take it. What goes around, comes around. I hate to tell you this but you come off sounding rather bitter yourself.

I'm just wondering why you people from Keystrokes feel the need to defend yourselves so much. There must be some truth to what is posted here about you. They can't all be transcriptionists who can't cut it or don't fit. Maybe the bad fit lies within your organization. How did all those bitter people get hired in the first place?

There is an awful lot of pettiness and ugliness in those who post from your company, dear. Those who live in glass houses shouldn't cast the first stone.

I do wish you the best and I hope those growing pains that you seem to have had for so long feel better soon.
To any visiting clients

The opinions expressed on this board represent only a fraction of the MTs that may be servicing your accounts.  As an MT who is proud of the MTSO for which she works, I apologize for the appalling Jerry Springer-like antics of this chat board and wish to assure that most MTs that I work with are thoughtful, hard-working professionals who do know the difference between venting a frustration and turning into an ugly mob of pitchfork-carrying villagers. Though I defend their right to an opinion no matter how churlish and embarrassing it is, I also assure you that there are still MTs working on your dictation who realize that there are live patients who depend upon us.  I just thought you needed to hear this.    


To any visiting clients
I agree! I appreciate the company I work for and am happy to have a job.
A slip of the finger? sm
It required thought to ocopy and paste a resume and personal information. That's no slip of the finger; it was irresponsible.
This looks like a freudian keyboardian (slip). nm

They'll slip in something bad, wait and see. NM

I don’t work for them so I am just visiting this board
I am not paranoid because I already do VR at another place. I thought the reason for the question was trying to figure out by having so many or so little as to how VR would work. Well, gotta go as time for me to start work.
Which is why I don't care if a few mistakes slip by.
Hope they're saving those pennies for the eventual patient lawsuits, either for malpractice, or ID theft.
To any visiting clients - the opinions SM

you are seeing come from years of being treated badly by the companies you sign transcription contracts with.


We are treated like indentured servants.  Every year, our benefits disappear or cost much more.  Every year, we are not only not given any kind of a raise in pay, but we are forced to accept pay CUTS with little to no notice given by our employers.


Part of the responsibility for this mess is in your lap also - for demanding that services provided to you come cheaply.  Would you demand that your own employees suddenly be paid 1/3 less for a portion of their jobs?  What would happen if you did?


If you're feeling really bold, why don't you experiment with that concept?  Ask your nurses to be paid 1/3 less for the portion of their job that requires paperwork, for example. They aren't providing direct patient care, so that portion of the job should cost you less, right? 


Tell all of your employees that you will no longer offer direct deposit for their paychecks.  Then tell them that they have to pay $25 to have their checks FedExed to them or depend on snail mail for free.  How well do you think that would go over?


Just a slice of what we MTs have to accept every day. 


Funny slip of tongue or freudian
zz
Usually on visiting doc's office, they ask if I am in the medical field because
I can speak right along with them on most they say, don’t have to have it put in laymen's terms. I do not say I am but am asked if not in the medical field, countless times.
To the clients visiting the board: Please realize

that this is a board set up FOR medical transcriptionists to vent, to socialize, and to network.  I'm sure that as management you have your own means of networking.  If you are visiting please know you are welcomed, but please do realize that the comments made here, while some may very well be 'Jerry Springer' like, are made out of frustration for our field in general.  With the majority being remote transcriptionists, we do not have the normal venue for getting our things off our collective chest at the water cooler or in the break room with our colleagues.  Most of the time we don't even know the names or emails of our coworkers in our own companies.  So we come here and sometimes the venting gets rough.


Please, do not take it personally, as some feel you may, but also please keep in mind the context of the posts and the fact that you will have Jerry Springer-esque behavior anywhere and everywhere.  It is not limited to the MTs, the residents, the PA's, this board, etc., and it is probably less than 5% of the total number of posters.  I'm also hoping, as a former manager myself, you're not thinking the same term I am about those who feel the need to run up and apologize where an apology isn't necessary.  After all, we are professionals and we do know how to take things in context.


oops.... meant Transcription (slip of the finger!) nm

That is gripe board. Freudian slip as in get a grip. LOL.

I think they get tired of pulling teeth when backlogs slip. NM
So they cover that quite well not giving a rats arss about the fallout it has on us.


in addition, while the office staff are partying, visiting with each, breaking whenever they want to
with pay, we are struggling to pound those cold keys with our cold fingers with our break drinks, meals at our desk . . . no time to take off due to no pay for any time taking off for a break or lunch.   We are grabbing all the work we can get now before another MT gets it, as our paychecks continue to dwindle due to VR/ASR and leads and others taking the easier dictators from us (those who have ever transcribed a word in their life) and passing all the other down to the piecemeal worker, the MT.
No, Not with Keystrokes, visiting friend and using her pc, she got job with Keystrokes
I forgot to change the Name. I do not think Keystrokes is hiring anymore now. Would like some info about Diskriter though.
