reports that you can look up in their system. My company has samples from various docs posted in a database, other companies will fax/e-mail you samples. I find it hard to believe that all those companies are in violation of privacy issues.

bull
The work load will not increase, in fact it has been going down steadily the last 6 months and they are loosing more accounts. I have been using the editing software for some time now and I can assure you that without work being there it is impossible to make double line count and the editing is not that much quicker than transcribing. I say lets cut the pay of the big wigs instead of always trying to cut it at out level!
That's bull that HR has nothing to do with it. sm
On our quarterly updates from MetLife, the name printed on them as our contact is the HR director! It always has been that way, regardless of who the plan holder was. Payroll is the last person I want handling the 401k, and she's never been the contact for that. HR is a complete mess, they've been through SO MANY different HR directors in the years I've been with MW.
Bull.
My credit is NO ONE's business. How I handle my credit is no concern of any company I work for.
It's bull
I have worked on Escription and other VR platforms...it is total bull that you can double, much less triple your line count. I will never do VR again. I'm sorry but MDI might have BEEN a good place to work for but if they are going to be paying $.03 per line for VR they are NO LONGER a good place to work for. I'd be polishing my resume.
Oh Bull-onie
she could get everything she wants at MQ. I also have 30 yr experience and i am happy there!
Sorry but that is a bunch of bull. SM
How did you get on this earth? Were you not someone's child?
Your comments are totally ridculous, rude and disrespectful.
Bull! How can they enforce that?..sm
How can they stop MTs from contacting each other, e-mailig, or otherwise corresponding with each other on our own time? What country do they think we live in? Whom I contact, e-mail, etc., on my own time is my own business.
Do you remember the bull about their new
end up 'earning more' than we did when they took over? I don't want to share any margaritas with their QAs, either. Those people are for the most part half a crayon short of totally illiterate.
That's bull...sorry..but I'm team lead and
spread it elsewhere
I agree - bull crap.
Know what I have taken to do, I email saying May I ask before proceeding to resume, testing etc,
What is the lowest to the highest line rate offered for the position, are spaces paid and is the position for VR. I feel this saves valuable time on both sides don't you? Thanks etc.
They do respond most of them.
Bull honkey. Half the mad posters are the ones that don't like negative
They get just as nasty and rude telling the people to stop posting negative comments.
Thats bull. I was told $2000 was tops a month. nm
They even have a school for MTs, "to help better the, I can't remember theincreasing bull...
They sent out a letter like they were philanthropists, bettering the (I can't remember what they said, it was such a joke). Great tax break for them having an office or school over there, don't believe the lies they use to excuse their behavior. You cannot make any money with these religious, I am all for humanity bull.
10 pages, bull, they want it for free, give them one page or find another job.

Can anyone tell me how the work load is at MDI-MD? nm

QA/work load
I too was with them for about 1-1/2 months. Their QA people were great, easy for me to work with, very helpful. The owner is easy to work for. I left for personal reasons, getting out of this field for awhile. I would go back if I did this work again.
Work load at TT
Crystal...how long have you been an MT? Why I'm asking is that if you've been an MT for any length of time you KNOW that there are certain periods during the year that things will slow down JUST briefly. Labor Day and school starting times of the year is one of them. Another is Christmas and Thanksgiving. Transtech usually has an over abundance of work and all you have to do is take advantage of the times when the work is really booming with the bonuses they offer, etc. and these times when it's a little bit slow you can sit back and relax a minute...and I mean a minute, because it's going to pick back up with a quickness.
The ESL load has been mentioned as being a very

TT work load
Maybe they're expecting. I work 2nd and have only run out of work twice in a year for a few minutes at most.
Work load
I personally almost always have work, although this morning was very slow, it picked up in the afternoon. I know work flow has been an issue for some though.
Work Load
Oh for goodness sakes, don't you know that work flow varies from day to day. As a rule TT usually has plenty of work if one is willing to work on more than one account. So many seem to complain but if they would get out of that little comfort zone and learn other accounts they would have more than enough to keep them busy for 8 hours. TT has a really good track record. The ones that complain probably don't want to work. They'd rather get their lines on message boards.
Work load
Well, have you ever considered moving to the shift that DOES have work then? Geeeeee, what a concept.
What a load of poop
When I put a space in a report, I'm pretty sure that's MY thumb that hits that space bar - I have the tenosynovitis to prove it. Therefore I should be paid. I think if that were the case we would have to send in reports with no spaces just to prove a point. OMG - just let me hang on in this industry long enough to put myself through nursing school!!!!
They only want FT MTs but the work load sm
for me was a PT load and of course at the lower end of their tier system. I had to jump ship.
sure sounds swell. Sounds like 2350 ln/day @ 4 cents/ln=$90./day
in order to figure how many line needs to be produced to make $500 per pay period. ie, how many lines an hour needed per 8 hour day --at your rate.
So say $450 a week would be $90 a day.
For example, if making 4 cents a line,need 2,250 lines a day, 281 an HOUR (to listen through and edit) to make this great wage of $90. a day FOR ALL THIS SAME SKILL, TO KEEP UPDATED WITH CHANGING MEDICAL COMMUNITY. nope Better at Jack-in-Box Pass it up.
When the work load is low how to you still manage to
You're here just like the rest of us. Are you one of those that manages to work in addition to your 8 hour shift to get it when the work is low?
Can I load the Spheris program on my lap top? nm

Spheris low work load
Thought I would respond to the post about Spheris at the top as soon we would be booted off the page. Yes Healthscribe did outsource to India all along. As a matter of fact they were very proud of that fact. They did not send all of the work over there and seemed to keep plenty for their US MTs, however, that is exactly why Spheris took over Healthscribe is because of the India link. That is the main reason they bought Healthscribe, which is exactly why they are letting all the good MTs go and not paying them, etc. They want them to quit. Cheaper than paying unemployment when they eventually let them all go as all they ever wanted out of that deal was the link they had to India and India employees. That is no secret and is exactly why they are all being nudged out of work. The work is there. Your work is there, it is just being sent elsewhere and where as it should be illegal, well it is not. It is just morally wrong and not very American but I think those types of things such as morals and being proud to be an American get thrown out the window when these companies see $ in their pockets. Good old fashioned American pride is not important to these people anymore and thus the results we are seeing. It will be lost for our children and even worse for our children's children. That is why it is so important for us to stop going to hospitals or write to our hospitals that outsource and to get everyone you know to do it as well and make a big stink. That is why it is important for every American MT to rebel and not work for these companies, for their slave wage, etc. They will always need some American MT for that one account who does not want their work overseas and I know Spheris has a few of them, and if they cannot get an American MT to work for them, well, ....I guess they loose that account eventually, and as they get more that want their work brought back to the U.S. and they have no MTs from the U.S. to provide that to them, they lose another account and so on. Eventually the work will get sent to the companies who do promote strictly U.S. work, where it belongs, and the goal of being the largest company, which is what Spheris is striving to be will slowly start to shrink and then American people, we have one. Give that some thought!!
How to load Express Scribe
If you already haven't found out how to do it, save the files to a folder on your desktop, then go into Express Scribe, click on Load or load files (I don't have it on this computer, so am doing this from memory), then click Browse, then click on C drive, then click Desktop, click on the folder, then click on the files you want to load. In my experience, Express Scribe will only load a job if it has been saved in a folder. Hope this helps and good luck
If IM is an employer requirement, just load it and put on your..

Amphion Work Load/QA
I have never been on these chats before but in checking all of them out I am in quite disbelief. I see people complaining about having to do OT and QA issues if you have a bad QA. Are you seriously kidding? You have a job at home, a computer given to you, and you are there if your kids need you, are sick, etc. You don't pay for gas, don't have to worry about the weather, or OT at an actual office. Most people out there are looking for a good company and now people are complaining about having too much work. This is a first for me because in my situation I always have bills, things cropping up for school and X-mas coming up as do most people I know. Remember what do you have and how good you do have it.
Work load is back up.
Most are too busy to post, I guess.

Extremely low work load right now
Supposedly new accounts are coming on board soon.....I sure hope so!
I see a load of crap when it is posted
This IS an unineducated statement.
Really. Uneducated like you not reading IRS regs?
Stuff like paying (giving them) them an interest free loan (business loan) to pay for their capital improvements-
I didn't improve their capita. They had it down pat before I came along.
they want you to use their PC and want a way to pay for it interest free.
Old news. BTDT the last 15-plus years. p.s. their PC is actually as server. Look it up.
This is bull. Plain bull.
Old news, accoriding to you. Facts please.
Hey you want to pay for some things that will only work on their PC, go ahead. Hey jump at the chance.
No jumping involved. Same ole', same ole', been going on since you were born. I just learned how to make it work for me, how 'bout you?

I know the MTs that work this acct. load them from a pool. However, sm
I think that is a very good idea - batching docs and/or specialties together. I wonder why they don't do that, and I am going to ask! Thanks! If you saw my post above, there are a total of 37 specialties on my list, made up of approx. 4-5 docs in each specialty, so I'm looking at learning well over 100 doctors in only 40 hrs. of training? That's a joke.
You can always delete Vista off and load XP with new computers (nm)

Many variables affect work load
Sometimes I have run out of work. Sometimes my accounts are swamped with OT, while other accounts are caught up. Some platforms have more work/accounts than others. Some specialties are overstaffed, some are understaffed. Its pretty much the same at other companies. Its just that people speak in absolutes on this board about their experience. You have to take it all with a grain of salt. I have come to understand that everyone's situation is so different that maybe we all should put a disclaimer that my situation is this and not make blanket statements using words like always and never, nor argue with one another about who's reality is valid - they all are.
Shine templates take too long to load sm
Isn't too bad if you can go straight into it and start typing, but the account I do you have to go in and fill/fix the template after it loads before you can start typing, so it can be time consuming.
