MD-IT info? Search function not working...sm
I am wondering MD-IT ... specifically, do they hire IC, and are they only acute care or do they have clinic work? Their website doesn't give much in the way of specifics for employment, but directs to testing. If anyone has any information they want to share, would love to hear it! TIA. 
Never mind, search function back up and working.

TT sent out email saying CTRL i function is 7-12% higher than paid-for line counts,
so you would need to deduct 7-12% off function of CTRL I.
Per TT email regarding this subject, the headers and footers average between 7-12% of a document . . . Conversely, if you are transcribing a two to three line report/addendum, the header and footer may be as much as 50% or greater.
So, it is true that if we transcribe short reports, we are given the pleasure of transcribing almost FREE for TT !!!
This is about as clear as we MT's can get from TT regarding this line counting issue.
I am working there. Email me if you like. nm

Anyone working for Metro in GA - please email me

I could email them, but I would rather talk to someone that is working for them or has worked for th
Of course, they are going to tell you all the positives. I would like to hear from someone that can give me their opinion, good or bad.
If you do not want to post on this board, you can email me.
Thanks.
I function without a lot of sleep
I try to get up at about 4 a.m., work until 7 when my daughter gets up, start working again at 8 a.m. until she comes home at 3. I guess I do work evenings sometimes, but my desk is right by the kitchen so I'm up and down a lot then. Sometimes I stay up until 11 or so to work after she goes to bed. I do sometimes feel like I'm always working, but I ran up some credit card bills a few years ago and promised to bring in a certain amount of money to help pay down that debt, and now I'm living up to my part of the bargain. Again, though, I do work a lot and sometimes feel like I'm missing out on life, but don't a lot of us feel that way?
If you use the Search function
at the top of the page and put in HIP, there are a few posts from 2004 and 2005. Hope that helps a little. Are they hiring right now?
cntr I function
gives you the # of reports. For example, so far today 13 reports gave me about 700 lines, a mix of OP notes and H&Ps. My company does not count the headers or footers either. I think 1500 lines a day or more is probably obtainable on this system. Im new, Im still busy plugging in normals and learning dictators. To have to type 30 or more reports as I was told by one company to even hit 1000 lines is just BS. Of course cntrl I was not enabled so I was essentially working blind. Took me about 2 months to catch on unfortunately.
Word function keys
Yes, this does happen. There is a little program that goes into your computer when they load Transnet, which disables the function keys of Word. Ctrl S in Word is Save, Ctrl S in Transnet is to search prior jobs, etc. Ctrl N in Word brings up a new document. Ctrl N in Transnet ends and spell checks the job. THis should go away when you UNINSTALL Transnet the proper way.
Cannot get search function to work. I go up to the box
at the top of the page for the Google search and move it to search ''MT Stars.com'' but it never comes back with anything. I have tried several companies that I know have been mentioned on this board but it always comes back with no results.
Use your zoom function to make it
larger but make sure to return it to 100% when you are done. It saves it the larger print if you don't. It is easy to enlarge before and then decrease after. I wouldn't want it to come to me other than 100% either....so I am very careful to maintain it when I am done as a courtesy.
yawning is a natural function but
so is flatulence. You don't mind if people and/or doctors do that right in your face without apologizing? Tired, bean-filled, or what not.
Cntr I function should be available within the program
if you're talking about the Extext program where you have to go to the Ichart website to get lines and cannot verify # of reports to go with those lines then this is shifty. There is a line counter within the program that works just fine when it is enabled.
When company does not allow CTRL i function to be used by its MT's.
EXText is the platform you transcribe in, but EXSpeech is the VR portion of Dictatphone EXText.
My STM said it was b/c the Alt-G and history function was creating sm
a potential HIPAA problem because it was copying a viewed patient name into your current document sometimes. Alt-G and history are connected somehow apparently? She also said they were bringing viewing history back later on this year.
They told us before the reason that function had been
disabled was because of the difference in counts, that program counts ALL words and ichart does not -- headers are not paid for and add up to a lot of lines. I don't think there is any difference from before.
If you are using Express Scribe, you can use your function keys and...
the instructions are in the Help section or maybe it is in Setup. Good luck on the test!
Transtech has that function blocked from our use . . . go figure why?
I am at a loss for all this blocking ExText functions from us. Yes, I have worked on ExText before, also, and could use any function that it had to offer to the MT.
Spelling correctly would help search function. nm
Reread, I do not use the Ctrl B function, so cannot answer. Sorry!
try Search function, top of the board, to left of Topics

Is it common practice for companies to disable the cont.I function?
Does that necessarily mean anything?
Ditto.. Over 13 years experience working in hospitals doing all types of reports, currently working
for a national etc.. and Spheris told me I didnt have the qualifications. What cracked me up was the hospital I was working at at the time contracted some of our work out to them.. What a joke..I was good enough to work for a hospital and gave them work, yet not qualified enough for them. What is wrong with this picture.
MQ same situation. No pay for working holidays, no pay for working weekends nothing. Now noone works
much anymore and so they jerk the work out of the accounts to some place that throws it back with a lot of bad bad quality. This is the NE region. I dont know what the others are doing.
Hey OrthoMT.. tried to email you back but the email was returned as undeliverable..
Basically, this is what I'd like to know.. You can email me the information if you like..First off, are they hiring for ortho? and what is their scheduling like, FT or PT, IC status or employee etc. I would like to find a company that is pretty flexible. Also, what platform do they use? I have worked at some like you were saying, took forever to get the line count and I want to work 8 hours and be done. Oh, do you have benefits, and what are they like if you have them? Thanks for any information you can give..
No, but I will email the Moderators as soon as I find the email. You know it's the truth, Becky.

Administrator- could you email me. I never posted that message about Netmed, yet it came to my email
address and I figured it out when someone from Netmed contacted me about my post. Is it possible for someone to steal and use your email address to post things. I thought there was some validation in place.
working from home is awesome but working for DSG is not...
horrible dictators, sound quality is bad, no answers to emails and they run out of work consistently...that is just my experience though...
I am reposting email address, not sure why you cannot email me. nm

They email everyone a copy of the newsletter. Email and ask
and they will email you one if you haven't been receiving it.
tried to email you but your email is invalid
?
Is there an email address I can email them at. nm
:
Why email me? You want people to email you. NM
.
I tried to email you but it said your email is invalid. Can
you email me please.
The email said the owner as she is the owner of the email software package. sm
We got the list from AHDI. If someone does not wish to be on our email list, there is a link to click on at the bottom of those for opting out. We immediately remove those that click the link.
We also have a few mailling going out. Same thing - if you opt out of the email program, we will remove you from all contact.
We need transcriptionists for many new accounts and have ads on here and other sites, as well as several magazines. We are going to need over 100 MTs in the next 3 months due to new accounts and more work on existing accounts!
So how is that working out for you?
x
Really? I'm working, too.
However, I'm working at the part-time job I was forced to get as soon as I figured out Transcend was screwing me. I have nearly 1,800 lines in so far today. How many do you have?
Are you still working for them? LOL
If you are, why don't you take your own advice -- leave. You're no victim except of yourself.
If you're not working for them, what's it to you? We're all adults.
Whether or not a company is "good" or "bad" (such juvenille generalizations, lol) is a matter of perspective and there are PLENTY of us who don't share your views.
Are you working for them now?
I just interviewed with them yesterday and have not heard back. Are you working for them now? How is that working out for you? Are you happy? Thanks
working
I, too have worked for other services. I think Transcend is excellent. You can make as much or as little as you want. I agree with you everyone is very nice and helpful and easy to talk to and most helpful. I have a different job at Transcend now and I think that very much, but I also transcribe whenever I get a chance.
are you still working for them?

I liked working for them but there
wasn't enough work on the 2 accounts that I was on to justify the fee for leasing the equip and I don't make enough yet to make purchases like dictaphone, lanier, etc. they always pay on time and CORRECTLY! if I ever purchase equipment like that I'll definitely be contacting them again.
And how would you know who is working and
I sure don't!
She could have another job and working before she would even
begin to qualify for unemployment. Why put herself through that anguish. She should resign and move on. She'd have a job in one day it is my guess. Unemployment should not even be an issue here. Most people can find jobs in this business very easily.
Who are you working for now? nm
nm
Yes, it's working now.

I am not working for them anyway, so
PTS Dictation in Florida. They said that they only get 8 cpl, and that is why they only pay 6 cpl, and yes based upon a 65 character line. That is not my problem they don't get paid like they should. I don't work for anything less than 8 cpl.
Working for nothing
You must not be in desperate need for making any kind of money because that company paid me terrible! $4.25 per 1,000 words. I can make more money working at McDonald's flipping hamburgers!!
Not a good company to work for! Would not recommend it to anybody!
been working with them 5 yrs now - sm
owner is not very organized and was getting paid 15th and end of month but she has stretched it out to every 3 weeks now but accounts are SUPERB and once you get past the disorganization they pretty much leave you alone to work.
Oh like you are working....
If you have to keep replying obviously you are unemployed. I am not bashing anyone. You are a few others are the only ones calling people names. I never called you a name but you called me a loser. And I do think it is funny, no hilarious, because you so angry and frustrated? Do like the above poster said, take a pill!!
