Then what you said in your first post was in error. sm
You specifically said, and I quote *The American Medical Association allows foreign nationals who practice in this country to join their association and nobody thinks a thing of it.* That was an error then, right? Because they are certifying and allow members from other countries, who have driven the working wage down and taken our jobs. That is the reality. Did you see where union workers are very angry about the illegal aliens. Why do you think that is? Do you know that it is projected if the illegal aliens continue to flood this country, the minimum wage will never be raised. Illegal aliens and offshoring benefit the greedy employer and the rest of the work force are punished for it. I'm so happy you can be so magnanimous about it. If you are certifying members in INDIA, PAKISTAN and TIMBUKTU, you should take the name AMERICAN out of the name of the association. Period. Full stop. End.
Your post has an error....
If you do not proof your email when I applying for a job, how do we know you will be more careful when transcribing?
Does that include the recruiter proofreading a post on this board? I see an error. What gives? I know you are not an MT, but can you find your own error?
I would have to assume that works both ways. Have a great day!
Geez, that was a sloppy, error-ridden post on my part. Yikes, sorry...nm
,
Maybe because not ALL companies post there. He/She just asked a simple question!
x
freak?...immature, simple minded post
nm
I agree...you post a simple answer and someone has a bad day and WHAM...
turns into a huge thing...
Ya, but it's not a spelling error, it's a grammar error!
Get it?
You are kidding, right? This is just riddled with grammatical and spelling errors!!! nm
ERROR....
I posted the above asking for information about Transform, Inc. and said they were located in Wisconsin. I made a mistake they are located in Missouri. Thanks.
error sm
supposed to be hire not high resistance....darn expander!
Not a lot of room for error
If you know the BOS 2. Then apply. If you don't. Do not apply. A very strict MTSO to work for.
you DO get an error message BUT
you can just bypass it. it says that you are not connected so it cannot get rid of your job but just click cancel and when you connect it will get rid of the jobs. it is the voice files it is trying to dispense.
Good luck with your Grandma!!
Have you figured your error out yet?
nm
Now here's a spelling error!
foreing?
That's not the only problem they have. I get more error
messages and downtime from that crappy program than I spend working. Nothing is user friendly and its always one excuse after another why it can't be fixed.
that would be **** chained*** error n/m
n
My math error, sorry. sm
But it is not for me, I don't want to do 2000 lines a day, 250 lines an hour, for 7.5/lines for $150. bucks. Burn out. Nobody should have to work like that to make a living not with the junk dictation.
but ya all go ahead..
If the error changes meaning of the report
Because that's dangerous. It should be something that almost never happens though.
Sorry, error made here and I meant to say
it was NOT as much as I first thought. Sorry :)
QA error values survey...
I am just curious and trying to get a randomized answer regarding error values when an editor/QA/QC audits reports. For example: Major medical error has what point value, minor English error has what point value, etc. Also, if you don't mind stating what company this is or was for? If you would rather email me, you are more than welcome.
Subtle way of correcting her error. I like that.
nm
The e-mail I got didn't say anything about an error. If
there was an error why not just say so and tell us what it is and put our mind at ease. The email Thursday assuring us the money would be in our accounts by the end of the day or checks overnighted to us shouldn't have been sent when they know it wasn't going to happen. Not e-mailing us first thing Friday to tell us what was going on didn't help things. I'm fairly new so I'm not in panic mode yet, but then my bills are paid and my cabinets are stocked. I do think the situation has been handled poorly and for top management not to address the situation is irresponsible.
Mine didn't say error either
This is the part that is so unsettling for me too. And the fact that the human resource/payroll person doesn't even know what is going on and the fact they will not let her know what is going on is what is unsettling for me. If they would just come right out and let us know what the heck is going on, then I would be a little more at ease. But, no one is saying ANYTHING. However, supposedly the money is there.......
I guess it depends on what your error was.
x
Yes, they do. So sorry to have made an error and forced you to have (sm)
to take your time to correct those of us who are not perfect.
If one dares to point out an error a QA
made, one might just quit because she will make your life really nasty, especially when she's the supervisor's friend.
And this does not only apply to Axolotl. It happens everywhere.
This was in ERROR-was referring to Trans Tech!
This post below was in error. I thought you were referring to Transtech - all of the same applies, however, great company (Trans Tech) pay on time, etc etc:)
She didn't make 1 spelling error that I can see.
nm
It all depends on the percentage of the error assessed.
I have worked for a couple of companies who charge an extremely high amount of points for punctuation errors. If this is the case, one can definitely dip into the 80s with punctuation errors.
That is heard, not heart. Must be a subliminal error!
nm
YES it requires more, well-know 50% med. error rate in hospitals nm,
. We have much more to know and keeping educating across the board than most medical people as we cross across ALLL medical/surgical specialities and related disorders/meds/products etc that go with them
I once saw an Indian error where he/she changed the name of a famous street
which was mentioned in a report, just because he/she didn't realize it was a street name. The Indian MT changed it to say something real romantic and inaccurate, like The patient was on the street where the lovely sun sets. It took me just a moment to realize from the context that the dictator just mentioned the street name, Sunset Blvd. No way an American would change that!
Must have typed too much, lots of spaces taken out. I'm not error-ridden, what's up w/that? nm

Relates to a posting below; correcting a spelling error n/m

It isn't quite that simple...
Thank you for your input; however, it is a deeper issue than that. It is a major opportunity to teach the offending MTSO a lesson. Speaking for the collective MT group, we are human beings and we deserve the same respect as any other human being. It seems that MTs have, for too long, allowed themselves to be doormats. Obviously, there is an exception to every rule, but I am not referring here to those few exceptions.
It is that simple...
There is no deeper lesson to be taught. If you feel that you are being treated as a doormat and do not want to be, then do not accept the position and move on.

Simple
If you type 100 minutes of dictation for this company and their operative notes are 1-2 minutes maximum (I worked for a company that paid like this) and they add up to 30-40 lines per report, you would be typing anywhere from 3000-4000 lines for 100 minutes, which equals $100.00 for this amount of lines, which in turn equals about 3-4 cents a line. Believe me, they pack the dictation in this amount of time. The company in turn charges the hospital or clinic per line and they pay you the minimum.
It isn't that simple
It isn't just whining! These people are taking MONEY out of the other MTs' pockets! While an MT with integrity does all the jobs that are assigned to her and gets hung up on an extremely difficult dictator, while the other MTs are taking all the easy dictators and making money hand over fist. That is NOT fair to the MT with integrity who makes chump change because she refuses to stoop to that level.
It is not fair and it is up to management to put a stop to the practice.
Don't judge others until this has happened to you. It isn't fair and this is the only place MTs can come to vent their frustrations over it. If you don't want to read the posts, just skip them, but don't tell people they are acting like children fighting for candy. This is FAR, far more serious an issue!
OSI plain and simple
Speech recognition, outsourcing, massive turnover, only the beginning. The only way to offset this was to offer more benefits but they also upped requirements to receive them. You can't make more lines if more and more companies are outsourced, and two new ones have been added to that, Mayo and Sarasota--Ochsner already was. They aren't being that generous with benefits in the long haul and as someone said the other day nobody will stick around long enough to actually receive the benefits.
Simple solution
As long as Cymed can continue to find MTs who will put up with this crap and accept their positions that don't pay for spaces, they will continue to do what they're doing.
Why would a quality MT accept a job that doesn't pay for spaces. Why would a quality MT stay there?
SE versus IC. I know there is s simple
but I'm a math retard. If an SE made 10 cpl and an IC also made 10 cpl, and everything else were equal, then the SE is actually making more because half of the 15% social security tax is paid by the employer. So the SE makes 7.5% more than the IC, correct?
Now here's where I'm a math retard. If you take that 7.5% into account, what is the SE's *real* line rate? Sure, it's still cpl but when you figure the employer is paying 7.5% of the taxes then does that make the line rate actually more like 10.75 cpl? Or am I off on my math?
Simple -- 5 steps
1) Do NOT answer the phone if it is not about your child or your husband, period. Get an ans machine and check it on your breaks. It is your responsibility to treat your job with respect and spending your time on personal calls is not respecting your job, your pay, your finances. You're an adult; you can do this.
2) Try to arrange your appts during nonworking hours.
3) Make an alternate schedule for yourself that you can commit to when appts or emergencies call you away.
4) MAKE everyone aware that you are working during ## hours and that you are not to be interrupted, then do not ALLOW them to interrupt you. If you answer - you are allowing it.
5) Define what really constitutes an emergency to TAKE YOU AWAY FROM WORK and stick by it.
It sounds as though the phone is your biggest problem. Simply stop answering. Let everyone handle their own problems...they are adults, too.
If you take control of your phone calls and have an alternate schedule for true emergencies (I mean - child/hubby sick, etc.), then you'll be able to handle unexpected/unplanned pressing needs such as your cousin (going to Iraq) dropping by!
Make YOUR time the most important time in the world. Because it is!!!
Some simple feedback for you..
Just wanted to say I think it was your tone with your suggestions that angered a few. It sounded bitter, angry, and downright nasty the way you spoke/typed it. We have all had our run ins with recruiters who make promises and do not follow through irregardless of the resume itself. I think you just hit a sore spot. :)
radical yet simple
Pay based on knowledge and difficulty NOT production. This will raise the howls from those on the board who want all ops -- but you reward knowledge not limber tendons. Higher line rates for those willing to slog through ESL Discharge summaries and medium line rates for flying through ops and ERs.
Simple solution -
email me.
The rationalization is simple...(sm)
I'm laughing here because it's so simple you're gonna laugh at yourself for asking! Of course they're now trying to sub-contract to other companies, no one wants to work for them. So, if they hide behind another American MTSO, they can get American transcriptionists that way!
Anyway, thanks for the warning. I hope everyone who is contacted by or contacts another National company does what you did and ask where the work is coming from.
I use ChartScript and it is very simple. The only
demographics I fill in are ptient's name and doctor's ID # if there are any CC.
A simple solution...
get a fake email address. go to hotmail or yahoo and just make something up. i will never know who you are. :) I do understand your hesitation. I wouldn't email me either. LOL I'm safe, I don't work there anymore.
Line counts?! Um, yeah. Encouraged to be dishonest to the MTs regarding that also went against my grain.
