Travelling MT
I recently took a 2-week vacation and took my computer with me. The hotels I stayed in have high speed so there was no issue with working at all. My only regret is that I don't have a laptap. I took my whole honkin' PC with me along with flat panel monitor. It worked out okay but would have been better with a laptop. I have to find a company that will let me use a laptop so travel will be easier. My company provides the PC and insists we only use their equipment. *grumble*
travelling transcriptionists
I am new to this site, and not sure this is the proper place, but does anyone know anything about travelling transcriptionists? Worth it? Are there many companies that hire travelling transcriptionists. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
thanks, looking forward to it
early next month...
Me, too. Looking forward to starting.

leaning forward -- tell us more.
good line rate, benes? Anything else to comment on.
Just forward the e-mails and any
questions you have to your supervisor.
Looking forward to the New Year sm
I interviewed with them the other day and accepted a position yesterday although my acceptance was via the recruiter's voicemail and I haven't heard back yet. This is going to be a great new year. I can feel it. Of course, I will feel more confident once I get a call or E-mail confirming my acceptance.
Boy, it sounds like I have a lot to look forward to! sm
Losing my insurance, my good dictators and work! I too check my work and was thinking the only way I am going to win this battle is to just rush through it for production sake. Then it occurred to me that they would still get me for being below the 98% correct threshold if I did that. I am starting to feel like I am going to get screwed instead of the hope I had that their software was so wonderful I could breeze through it and still be meticulous at the same time.
Please forward me the e-mail that you received.
I do not believe that anyone would tell you to take a few days off (not saying I don't believe you, but I know we are busy and I need to know who told you that).
If anyone is running out of work, I would like to know about it immediately.

Thank you to those who came forward with the proof I needed. It is appreciated.

I realize that, I'm still asking for Transolutions Administration to come forward

Actually, I'm kind of looking forward to those long reports..(sm)
I haven't done Radiology on a regular basis since 1997...but I got offered this job and I almost turned it down because I've been doing acute care for so long I thought I wanted to continue with that...but I took the Rad job and it just kind of felt good to type Rad again. I think I was burned out on acute care!
email busytran2@aol.com and she will forward to recruiter if (sm)
hr@phoenixmedcom.com is still down. Sorry, we are working with the server people.
I'm lookin forward to that teleconference Tuesday
Cool beans - looking forward to maybe catching a few. Have a good day. n m
Same old stuff, huh? ...sigh...really looking forward to making contact based on what you said.

Once you forward resume, how long till Futurenet gets back with you? nm
when docs give mtso a check, then mtso pays you?

Isn't she an MTSO owner - which MTSO ? Just curious. n/mnn

MTSO
New here. What does MTSO stand for? Thanks
Looking for an MTSO where I can do mostly ops.nm

Better MTSO
I would contribute myself. Sorry to sound conceited, but I'm really good at my job - and I want to work with other people who are good at it, too.
I think that the MTSO can
anonymously or pseudonymously respond with line rate range info to provide general info to the posters.
Another MTSO here
Feeling just like you. Look at the ones who complain about working weekends - how many medical professionals do you know that don't have to work weekends? Why are they in this field if they don't want to work weekends? It's a pity trip. How about working in retail or restaurants?? You want a 9-5 job, go get it, away from home of course.
Would like to talk privately but I don't spend much time on this board and don't really know how to do so. Let me know if you do!
To MTSO - sm
I don't fish, so I don't know what you are smelling, but perhaps something from your personality? I have posted this before, and will continue to do so, as IT DID HAPPEN to me, IT IS THE TRUTH, and I have no reason whatsoever to lie. I want the original poster to know what can happen if she gets
hired by Keystrokes. I want others to benefit from my hiring experience so they don't have to go through what I went through. If my posts are so distasteful to you, do not read them. Your attitude in your posts leaves much to be desired as MTSO...wish I knew your company so that I never cross your path. Perhaps someone posted the truth about your company once too often?
MTSO
Not all MTs are employees. There are ICs and there is a difference.
To: MTSO
Many of the MTs who send that great looking resume' with what appears to be a solid work history...are totally bogus. They may have worked for company x, x, x, x, and x in the last five years, yet they condense and fudge to make it looks like they only worked for company x, and x in the last five years. Many MTSOs don't take the time to check. If the MT passes the test...the MTSO is usually so desperate to get somebody in to work, they hire them without checking.
Also, many claim that they job hop because a company runs out of work....guess what? This happens at almost every MTSO, so instead of quitting only to find yourself in the same situation a few months later, get a second part time IC job to fill in the gaps.
MDI, anybody know how big this MTSO
is and how many MTs they have? Does any body know if it is IC or employee status?
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Does your MTSO allow you to use your own
I'm torn on this issue. My company has just strictly forbidden us to use normals unless they were created by the client, since apparently some MT's have left text in the document in error by not editing correctly. I can see how this causes a serious QA issue, but I can also see that my pay just got cut seriously yet again by not being able to use them.
So, what' s the answer here? How does your MTSO handle normals/standards, and what happens if you make an error with one?
To MTSO
At the risk of causing a stir, I am curious about your comment that no serious MTSO would hire a PCDI grad. I am the poster titled Another PCDI grad right below this post. Again, I state that I do not believe it is all about the school, I believe the person and the determination has a lot to do with how far you can go. I feel very comfortable with the 2 jobs I have. I also know that I am not the only PCDI grad with a job. I truly wish that more people would stop looking at just the school, and start looking at the person, because there are all types.
mtso
If I may ask, what does MTSO stand for? Thank you!
What is MTSO?
nth
Well, that's why you are the MTSO and we are the
MTs!! Its your responsibility to divide up the work, and sorry, but most MTSOs I have dealt with have asked me to commit to XX amount of work. They know full well that is all I can handle due to MY other commitments, yet the MTSOs are more than happy to have me at my commitment of XX. That is OUR agreement. I am an IC and on my own. So it is not my problem if Sally has an earache or Dr. Jones has extra work. That is YOUR problem. MTSOs should ASK if we can handle more due to the above situation, but when MTs get dumped on with 2 or 3 times the amount of the agreement, it is WRONG, and very frustrating for the MTs. Thus why most quit and move on to a MTSO who will keep the agreement. Its only common sense, really. Which seems to be a lot to ask for in this day and age.
Top 5 MTSO
Cymed advertises as the 3rd largest for domestic MTs. Not sure how you would verify that though.
Of course....but where are you and are you an MTSO?
It is just hard to give up all my info all the time only to never find out who an MTSO is or if they are legitimate. All of my info, address, etc. is usually on a resume which we submit via e-mail, but if a supposed MTSO never e-mails back, how do we know who we just sent OUR info to?
TO the MTSO
You are not being 'bashed.' People are merely using a public forum to forewarn fellow MTs of poor experiences. If you are truly concerned about your reputation, you will re-examine your business practices and make some needed changes.
Bashing implies an 'unfair' attack - that's not what is going on here.
This is why when you are an MTSO
You should have a payroll account. Any business person knows that you must have an account to pay out subcontractors. My brother pays his subs (painting contractor) every week. He doesn't see his payments for work done until sometimes 90 days, but why then should his subs wait?
If you want to run a business, you must have a payroll account and not rely on what the client pays to you and when.
If you do not have the capital, then quit using subcontractors thinking you are making a buck. Do your own work!
Just yet another view. 
Which MTSO's allow you to use your own

Seems to me an MTSO needs to see example of

MTSO
Where in the heck do some of you people get this mess? We have more work because the hospitals are busy. Stop trying to invent things. Pretty cut and dry if you really want to know the truth. You people always get on here to plant negative ideas in people's heads. Why don't you pay attention to the job numbers and you can see or is it just easier to assume. SHEESH!
me too!! Must be MTSO above..nm
nm
Which MTSO
was this?
Not only can your MTSO see....(sm)
your posts, management, supervisors, etc., etc., BUT anyone who Googles your name or anything associated with your post. I have even gotten onto boards that are subscription only by Googling words and posts showed up on their boards. True, I may not have been able to post on that board, but I sure could read whatever was associated with my search results.
I have a second job as an IC. I let the MTSO
know when I can work and how many minutes I can transcribe. They will then assign me that many minutes and I have it in by their TAT time. If I can't work, I don't. If I request work and they have none, that is fine too. I have no set schedule and am not on call. I work when I want. They have requested I work 1 time when they had a backlog which I did, though I didn't have to, because at that particular time my FT was out of work. As an IC, you set your schedule, they don't tell you when to work.
You must be an MTSO?

To MTSO
Maybe it's time for you MTSOs to get together and lobby Washington to stop this off-shoring that is destroying the American dream. Most MTs today are making less (including myself) than they were making in the 80s and I dare say the MTSO profit margin is probably also less.
Because the MTSO will probably know who I am if I do this.
I am still working for both of these companies (no other choice right now). Both companies post job openings on this site, so I am sure that they also read some of these posts.
