and then decide how wonderful they are. Shannon is a real class act (NOT!) to work with.

You mean not being told to find another job, being promised 3
bonuses that were never paid, a gift certificate for Outback restaurant that was never received, entry into a drawing for $100 gift certificate that you never even heard who won it, would not endear you to a company so you would be its most loyal employee? Now you know why I dumped MDI-FL and went to a company that actually appreciates employees, pays bonuses it promised me, and has equal benefits, and pays more on a decent platform.
ahh must be management post, truth being told ya know.

Wow, let me know if you find that post
I'd like to see that post if you can find it.
Here's the only post I find about them ...

Try to find a positive post here
Sorry, but I don't know about the schools. I got into transcription from being in the medical field.
I don't blame you for not wanting to hear the negative. I am sick to death of seeing this negative stuff as well. I checked in here looking for samples and mistakenly decided to answer a post from someone who asked for a company recommendation. I complimented OSi for standing by me through hard times, then got mortally raked over the coals for doing that. No company is perfect but neither am I.
This board is filled with people criticizing OSi, other companies, and other people. I hope you can get an answer to your question. I have had enough of disgruntled people on this board.
please tell me why you find it necessary to dissect every post-sm
and be so cruel for someone making a type. What is wrong with you??? I for one don't proofread everything I post on here. I can just imagine how you treat people in person.
I checked and could not find my post.

Sometimes you can find an old post by doing a search.
I think the post you are referring to was from 11-28, and is probably on page 2 by now. It was from the owner of AAmT where she wrote:
We are currently in the transition phase of taking on business from another company. Therefore, please do not be confused if you call the office number and hear Synthescribe. Synthescribe is a corporation in Nashville who provides offshore labor solutions to health care providers in conjunction with onshore. AAmT is acquiring service contracts of Synthescribe's and will be providing 100% US labor solutions to these clients. I personally look forward to building a team of qualified US MTs and editors to support these health care facilities. They are thrilled about the fact we will be providing onshore services under AAmT's leadership.
Hope that helps clear things up for you.
Happy Holidays
Thanks for your post, I did find a "true IC" job which I took then...sm
and have been very happy with ever since, real freedom, great people, great system to work with......I think I applied, tested, interviewed, etc, with at least 20 to 30 companies before I was blessed to find the right one for me....don't EVER be afraid to interview the company and recruiter vigorously, talk to folk who have worked there, Google as much info as you can, be sure your info is fairly new.....yes, recruiters are the cheerleaders for the company, understandably, i was able to not only speak with the recruiter, but with the MTSO/owner/boss, and she even game ME referenes for her companies, other MTs working for her (she had their permission for this), all in all, best of luck and take your time evaluating!
I find your post amusing
Why in the world if someone posts on here speaking lovingly of VR, does that automatically mean they are not doing the same job as you and I (transcription)? I worked for years and years straight typing and several times I had people come into the office at the hospital where I worked and would seek me out wanting to watch me type because I typed so fast. To assume that anyone loving only is slow is a total myth and all in their minds. I type 130 or more an hour. I did not ask to go to VR and was really upset when told the hospital where working was going to that. I had worked for the hospital 13 years when VR came along for us. I wanted to stay with the same hospital and dictators. After trained on VR, then came the outsourcing for our department. Well by this time I was up in age, middle 50s and frankly I did not want to hit the pavement trying to find another job. I knew nothing about MTSOs or the like because had always in my MTing years just worked in hospitals doing this type of work. I now am going into my 19th year working still for the same hospital still in the same town, the only difference is my employer is located thousands of miles away. I love VR because I make a good salary, still fast (get some occasional straight because there are interns that dictate from the hospital) but I stayed with VR because of the above reasons. Believe me, not everyone who loves has to be an owner. Never an owner and do not care for a headache like that. I for one second do not doubt the person's typing speed. In the 80s I made almost $70,000 for the year, not bad for a slow typist, huh?
Thanks, that was me, but could not find so thought I forgot to post nmI

I find your post embarrassing and offensive as well.
x
The pay is very low and they also offshore. If I can find the link, I'll post it.
.
If you find the original post so offensive, why did you respond at all?
Why don't you get a clue? A good number of people enjoyed this. If you dislike it, you can just move on to some rosy-happy-fun filled post and leave the rest of us to chuckle without being harassed.
On the contrary, I find your post refreshing and true. sm
I agree whole-heartedly that MTSOs AND MTs are in it for a paycheck. It's not personal. If you don't like your employer's treatment, find another company where their style is more to your liking.
your post doesn't make much sense. Find another job then? That's what the rest of us do!
The lazyMT was from a prior post about testing..NOT about my personal habits. I find it odd that you
would reply with someone so insignificant and to which no one cares about your opinion. You don't know me and you certainly have no idea if I am lazy in regards to my lifestyle habits so go back where you came from, troll..
I find this post funny. If a company advertises constantly, posters question if they are losing peo
3 weeks, since 5/24, there are posts that question if they are growing. Who cares if a company is growing or not as long as they have enough work for their MTs. I started PT with KS two weeks ago and will be going FT 7/10 after my long-awaited and much-needed vacation. They have treated me very well and have plenty of work if the account I work on is any indication. I also came to them on the recommendation of several MT friends who work there, all of whom are very happy and have been for a while.
If you want to work for a particular company, your best bet is to contact them. I have read in several publications that more jobs are filled before advertising than after the fact.
Give them a call, especially if you like/love radiology!
I find your post sarcastic.... shrug shrug
I don't hesitate to ask. Have been told "yes", and have been told "no." Never been to

What was the question again? Cannot find your post or question? NM

Trying to find info on Encompass on this board, can't find any recent. sm
Anyone have any current info. Any employees out there? Give me the low-down if you can! Thanks a million.

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors

You are not allowed to post their link on this site. Post

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.

Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make. I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me. We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level. Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination. The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner. Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter. Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter.
You are right, I told ek to do like ET...
Have they told you that you are going to
be a MEDICAL EDITOR? It's semantics, like the "MLS" title for a transcriptionist. Sounds really impressive to be called a "medical language specialist," but...HELLO...you're a TRANSCRIPTIONIST.
You are going to be nothing more than a custodian, cleaning up the junk that the "hookt on fonix" MACHINE REPLACING YOU has generated and for less money. If the dictators are half decent, you might be able to fly through a report in minimal time, but if you have to sift through the GARBAGE, only to wind up transcribing most of the job yourself, you are definitely going to lose money.
Do you eat only what you are told? If not, try them...

Told me the same
Same bull came from Jennifer week to week.
THANK YOU! I'm usually told how I should RUN
and all kinds of upset stuff.
Thank you! I hope to someday!!!
What I was told
Here is what I was told when
I switched to DQS from Medrite.........
You actually were getting "free lines" on Medrite with the information that populated onto the (TES screen) actual report, for example, patient name, account#, MR#, dictators name, signing physician, address, etc. This accounted for about 6-8 lines per report. Needless to say, and I KNOW THIS FROM EXPERIENCE, a doctor could just hang up on that report and NOT SAY A SINGLE WORD and I would get paid those "free lines" because it was information that populated on the report.
With that being said, if you were typing 8-10 reports an hour, then multiply that by 6-8 for your "free lines" PER REPORT that would account for anywhere from 48 lines to 80 lines AN HOUR! Now, take that 48 to 80 lines per hour and multiply that by how many hours you work in a day. This is why and how you will see a decrease in your lines!
The problem is, is that with DQS, you ARE NOT PAID for the patient's name, account #, MR #, physician name, and so on. I believe this is where the misconception of DQS being a horrible platform and/or MQ screwing their MTs started.
All in all, I am able to type the same amount I was in Medrite per hour. The more you add to your word Expander and familiarize yourself with the platform, the better you will be.
Within a few weeks you will get used to it. I average 300 lines an hour and like DQS very much.
no but I was told that
people who were making a certain rate before DEP training were cut before the training. I heard this second hand from a girl in my class.
That's not what I was told when..sm
I went to work for them. You must be management.
They should not have told you that. sm
There are very few people in this industry that make that much money, especially working for national companies. Do you use a word Expander and do you use it at its fullest potential? The most I ever made was 52K working for a hospital making 10cpl per 57 character line. One other thing you might consider is trying to get your own accounts. Where you may now make 7-10 cpl working with a national, you can make 15-17 cpl with your own account, provided you can handle the workload. Unfortunately, they sometimes fail to tell you that in school. Good luck!
No. Not that they told me. SM
They just told me about the training that I would be going through and kind of just sketched through it. It seemed like they offered okay benefits, but the pay seemed fair. I was just seeing if anyone actually took this position and could tell me more about it. Radiology would be nice too.
Yep, was told would get
...another one, it would be added to my queue that day, but it never happened. This was three weeks ago. How many times should I ask before they get mad at me? It must be nice to be salaried and not have to worry about paying the bills.
they told me no, but when I got the sm
contract, there is a place on there that asks what hours you most likely will be working, so it is not set in stone. I understand that anybody likes to know something but I have talked to others who work for them and they have no problem. I am going to give them a 12 hour span when I could be in there. So far, they have answered my questions to my satisfaction. We will see when I get started. But, I am anticipating everything will be fine.
I was told that too.

I know who you are and you have told me
that you never checked to see if they were correct in their calculations when you were an MT - you just assumed they were right. No wonder you've advanced to QA....LOL. They love people like you.
Who told you not to?

No, I'm not SURE...but it was what I was TOLD. That's way better than the 90% I was doing at a
