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.

review it.  This way, requests for post deletions won't appear in the newsletter.

do you mean the resume bank?  I am also looking for work as an IC and wondering if there might be any other place to post one's resume on this site.  TX!

And to you and anyone else who read it, did you go back and try to read it again, only to find that it was GONE?  Um... yeah.

Every single thing you have said is true.  Every word of it. 

Time to jump ship or drown.

I've been a member for years here. I have a validated email address and have been using the same moniker for at least a year.

Something is not right.

If you cannot control your emotions when discussing OSi topics, you will be banned.

I have deleted an entire thread about OSI pay because of the vicious personal attacks.  If you cannot respect others opinions or state yours without being so vindictive, don't post here.

If you want mandatory credentialling, then do something about the pay range for MTs!  8 cpl does not cut it when you consider the knowledge and education required for a qualified MT.

Coders in the midwest (where I live) who have their CCS make $20/hr with little to no experience!  Do not for one minute compare the CMT to the CCS!!  AHIMA is taking care of its coders, making sure coders and records techs are acknowledged for their expertise in the heath information industry and compensated for achieving their credentials.  The ADHI only wants our money.  They have done absolutely nothing for the MT who is credentialed --- 8 cpl or 9 cpl!?!?!!? --- does that sound like we are highly regarded health information professionals to you?
