is anyone familiar with it?  There seems to be a lot of turnover - do you think it's because of bad dictators, bad sound, or what?? 

I have been looking through the archives..  I was interested in applying to the Diskriter Florida hospital position but I had heard that you had to take a drug test, credit check, criminal background check and a pre-employment physical.

Is that true?  Especially about the preemployment physical.  I just find that completely weird.. 

Does anyone have any info on this acct with Diskriter where you are an actual hospital employee with hospital benefits??

back in 2005 when Diskriter first landed the gig.  I had to take a drug test, see my personal doctor for a physical and have him fill a very long and involved form, and get a TB test all for a facility I would never set foot in!  It took three long weeks for me to get through all the red tape and actually start the job.

The work was okay, but it ran out and you had no secondary account because you were employed by the hospital.  So if you wanted a backup account, then you had to go through more red tape to actually be an employee of Diskriter too and there was a bunch of legal mumbo jumbo that came with that because Diskriter was managing the transcription department for this hospital and the hospital had a contract that said that Diskriter could not put the hospital's employees on Diskriter accounts without express consent from the hospital. 

The supervisor of the hospital employees was employed by Diskriter and was incompetent.  We weren't able to get sample reports, normals, etc. out of her.  We always got the standard I'll look into that or It's in the works.  It seemed she had no contact with the hospital HIM department at all.  However, they could have a new person in that position now.  Like I said it was all brand spanking new back then.

Oh and your benefits were out of Florida.  So unless you're planning on flying into Florida to see a doctor or have an operation, you're basically screwed.  The bennies may have changed too by now though -- so who knows.

After three months, I just decided it was all just too much and left.  All the hoops I jumped through to get the job and then to have the job be such a disappointment was just irritating!

Email the recruiter, Deb Hull at deb.hull@medicaldictation.com

For some reason, any info on them always gets deleted... and i have been watching for years and it's all bad.

I also worked for them... words cannot describe... it had a bad effect on me and I didn't deserve that.  I work like a dog and am very conscientious always, my entire life.  This was in the top 3 of worst work experiences of my life.

The most eerie thing is that they have only 4 people listed as key players in their management team.  One of the VP's quits and no one says anything about it?

I'm out of work constantly and fed up!

Stay away, cheat with line counts, treat you like dirt.  The worst account I ever had.  No joke.  Everything and anything is an improvement after that place.  The trainer has an accent that will drive you insane.  The recruiter is a total jerk who thinks up stupid contests and demeans you and she is lazy lazy lazy.  If you ever call with a question she is like so annoyed.  She hasn't had her sandwich or her coffee or she just woke up.  Worst of all you make almost no money.
