Dishonest

Why are they dishonest? What do or have they done to make you feel this way?
Amen sista. NM

amen sista!
I, too, edit India reports and day after day correct their errors that definitely would have had me fired in the blink of any eye. For instance, one error was Patient is a wheechair. It should have actually been: Patient is a realtor. This isn't an isolated incident, but happens report after report after report. These reports have already gone to the hospital and are corrected after the fact. With the advent of electronic signature, docs do not read their reports anymore, and do not realize the danger they are in should they end up in court. I doubt you'll see an Indian MT/editor/manager around to take responsibility for the error. In this day and age, I don't even think I'd want to be a doctor unless I KNEW FOR A FACT where my dictation was being transcribed.
Amen sista...
I also love the one-liner emails that just say can you tell me about the job? I put everything in my ads that an MT needs to know and if someone won't take the time to even read the ad, I know the attention to detail is not going to be there. Also, if I post 3-5 years of experience, that doesn't mean I will accept 6 months because you list I type fast. Keep the resume short and to the point as well. I do not have time to read through a 10-page resume that tells me your children's names and what activities you are involved in with them, how many pets you have, etc. Be specific, provide the full name of the company and the contact information. I am wary if I get a list of employers without contacts and then the provided reference list only lists personal references. We aren't going to contact every employer on the list, especially your present employer, until we know more about you and you have tested, etc.
Regarding testing, don't you just love the excuses people give for not completing the test? My favorite ones are:
1. My power went out.
2. My phone went out.
3. My 2-year-old spilled Coke into my keyboard.
4. You misrepresented the test and didn't tell me there would be foreign doctors.
5. Don't you have any other files you can test me on? These are hard.
6. I fell and hurt my wrist/arm/leg/head.
Amen to that, sista!
I like my time off too!
Amen Sista!
Especially in this business. Never, ever seen so many witches with bad itches. Thank goodness I'm no longer in this crap hole of a profession. My regrets go to each and every one of you. Send the crap to India, who cares, they can have it!
Amen, Sista, that is what I was
trying to say. When I'm knocking down about $800 in a week and I'm part-time, I find absolutely nothing to complain about!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that I'm not bothered with 100 or so stupid emails from all levels of management every day as some companies do. Just give me the work and leave me alone to do it and I'm a happy camper.
Amen, sista!
I'm not going to start a ruckus by saying what I think of most, NOT ALL, of the QA people these days, especially those with the useless CMT initials. No jealousy here...BTDT, I quit with that nonsense when the AAMT, or whatever they call themselves now, quit supporting the MTs, if in fact they ever did.
Amen sista!
She probably works for one of the companies that posts these false advertisements.
I hear ya sista!
Amen!
AMEN, SISTA!! nm

You tell 'em sista...
People want feedback.... Here's your feedback and I heard the same thing as you! Not worth it!
DISHONEST TIMES 2!
I transcribed 1,195 lines and ichart reflected only 154.08 lines the next day! I documented line counts every day, and for one pay period it was 2500 lines off on their end! - disqualified from benefits too. NO answer from supervisor.
I see. So that's why you are calling her dishonest?
Apparently there were changes made. That does not make her dishonest. It means her plans changed.
Could you explain what was dishonest?
I got an email saying that I could not sustain my life with 1 doctor - so they would have to let me go - that = you aren't working here anymore. So, the next step is to call your unemployment office - they determine whether you are eligible to receive benefits or not - and because of the emails that the lead MT sent - she is the one who hung KS - it was determined that I was eligible. Then you look for work - for which there are many different aspects of what you apply for and what you do or do not accept - there are not so many employment positions for MTs -more IC jobs which do not count as employment. I did everything as layed out in the guidelines. KS just didn't want to be responsible for their part of the unemployment - siting laws in their state - which are not the same as those in the state where I live - and you state's laws are the ones that count - not theirs. Please tell me what is dishonest about this. I did nothing dishonest while working for KS - all I did was work. Oh, I did miss one TAT because my broadband was down - and that was in a year.
Well that's just plain dishonest then.
I wonder if the MTstars quote was actually written by the the recruiter him/herself then. I think I'll pass on this company then.
Amen, Sista Jill!
Couldn't of said it better my own little self.
Amen sista' preach it! :) NM
Actually, I think we all would like to forget them. It has been proven that they are dishonest.

Defending dishonesty is being dishonest
.
LOL I didn't think so! Right on, sista!!! *high fives*

I've got mine, too, sista, but whereas you care nothing except about yourself,
there are those of us here who understand what is happening in this forcing of being creditialed. You obviously don't have a clue, but that is generally the case with the me attitude so prevalent in today's world, an attitude you have displayed magnificently, BTW. I got my CMT because I WANTED to, not because I was FORCED to. Will being forced to be credentialed make you a better MT? NO. No more than being called an MD makes you a good or even excellent doctor. And boy, do we know some really stupid, careless, arrogant, physicians who ought to be in prison today instead of practicing medicine? Doesn't really make any difference that they have MD as a title, does it?
I rest my case. Once again OSi shows how dishonest they are.
This makes me ashamed that I once worked for them, but also makes me glad that I work for a decent, honest company now and do not have to be a part of their BS!!
Yeah..they are dishonest. They most certainly are in India. Do you really want to work for someone
that is dishonest?? not me..
Why take it to email. Shouldn't we all know if this is an employer who is dishonest to their
employees. Inquiring minds would like to know if they really offshore..
Most Indians in the MT business are dishonest scum
nm
If you are such a dishonest person, maybe they saw through that and let you fall to the wayside inte
You should be ashamed of yourself. This is called FRAUD. It is ILLEGAL and can give you prison time. You deserve it. You give MTs a bad name and I hope no company EVER has to deal with you that they have a way to talk to KS or any other company you have ever done this to.
I also hope they catch you and prosecute you.
Please look at your posts defending dishonest cherry-pickers, then look at yourself.

How are they dishonest for taking out premiums for insurance that we signed up for? sm
Wow. People will bash any company for any reason.
RE:Sure is and the gal out of Nashville that runs it is a rather dishonest person - to boot. nm TNMT
I've feel for the same thing and tired of dishonest people.
My favorite was when a recruiter would actually do all of her recruiting by pretending to be an MT. She went to great length singing the praises of her company, even though others were badmouthing the company. She was very convincing until I put two and two together. Actually, she wasn't too smart. She private emailed me from the board as the MT saying that she would contact her boss to recommend me.. Well, though and behold her boss and her both had the same email. Now, do I look like a moron or what. So, honestly, I rarely trust those cheerleaders on here and just take it with a grain of salt because you never know who your talking to.
MT-Friendly?
Can anyone please provide any info on the Emdat/Inscribe platform as far as it being MT-friendly and in terms of productivity?
TIA!
It's SUPER FRIENDLY for the MT. sm
It's all pretty self-explanatory. Spell check is fine, not sure what exactly you are asking about that....
Some friendly advice
If you can't research the answers to your questions and find them independently without help, you're not going to like Amphion.
Medium, friendly co.
 They have around 100 MTs. Jenn (the owner) is above wonderful. She is the best boss I have had. They leave you alone too, but are always available to answer any questions. Platform isn't too hard to learn either, at first it seems like a lot of info to remember, but all jobs seem like that at first. Tons and tons of samples.
MT-friendly platforms
You have read my mind. I love good old Word and sound files on Express Scribe. Still looking for more clinic work. Had a great gig and lost it due to another company typing for cheaper. My former MTSO raised her rates and lost a lot of her accounts. I am with a national now and I am not liking it very much.
MediTech not MT friendly
Yes Meditech Magic and Client Server are 2 different types of programs. We have client server. MediTech is not a good program for transcriptionist. Our corporate has several sites. When staff are transcribing going from one site to the next can be cumbersome. There are several reports for line counts but they all measure a line differently. We had to create our own report that was based on a 65 character line. It is difficult to manage reports without accounts - prereg, etc. They hang out there in pending until an account is available. We are currently looking for a different transcription solution.
friendly warning
I've known 3 people who worked for them now and here's the deal. You will constantly run out of work. There are short periods where they will pay a premium rate for overtime, but it will not make up for what you lose due to no work in general. Also, don't expect your paychecks to be on time. They are mailed from Canada to one of their editors in California and she then remails them, so it never comes on time and recently people didn't get paid at all, the pay was over a week late with no real explanation. They just don't have it together.
It is TERRIBLE and NOT MT Friendly...sm
You will NOt make any lines on that thing.
Yep. Not user friendly at all. It
requires a lot of going from keyboard to mouse and back and forth. My backup account is Mongoose and I liked it much better.
user friendly software
Is there really a user-friendly software? Is there one that you don't have to type in demographics anymore or at least get paid for it if you do? Is there one that is actually fast and doesn't require a lot of changing from screen to screen? What would it be? I am not a computer savvy person, but it seems like all this technology is taking us backwards. Also, I don't suppose you would like to tell us which company you work for.
Yes! There really is user-friendly software out there. /sm
You have to do your research, and ask questions in regards to companies with user-friendly software. Both companies I work for use proprietary software that is Word-based. It is all internet- The IC position software- I never change screens, the jobs download in seconds, press one key and demographics fill in (for which I am paid, including headers/footers)- tab down and there's the page you start typing, One click to physician roster- everything right at your fingertips, i.e. account specifics, BOS guidelines, etc. Full-time position - only two screens (demographic) then transcription screen. Everything at fingertips, doctor roster, etc.
I find it very user friendly. nm
xxx
Is it relatively user friendly and fast? nm
nm
Precyse a MT-friendly company?
Who works there right now and is happy or not, and why?
How is the flexibility, workflow, hardware/software, benefits, health insurance, PTO, etc. ? TIA
Meditech is NOT transcription friendly.
You are better off working per hour than production. Maybe KS would consider that for the ones who are not happy. Maybe the happy Keystrokers who post here are not using Meditech. I know from 15 years of experience that Meditech is not the program to make production lines on, and whoever can do a lot of lines with all of the pauses and lags should try typing in Word, you'd be rich!!!!!
Meditech is not a transcription friendly
I worked on it for years. You are better off working per hour transcribing using Meditech. Some like it, some don't. The spell check is not medical. There are a lot of screens to go through before you actually get to type. I guess once you find a rhythm you won't be donating too much time. The F keys across the top of your keyboard are essential for maneuvering through the platform. Also, be sure to save long reports mid report because sometimes Meditech closes out for no reason and then you could lose what you've typed. FYI. 
that is untrue. once you get used to it, it's very user friendly
and you can move around in it just fine, look up old reports on the same patient or any other for that matter --
Friendly warning-if you reply to OP here she SM
will email you through the board. I replied below and got one. I don't know why replying here wasn't enough.
