Hi,

I'm new to Webmedx and am having trouble navigating part of their platform and have yet to reach anybody there for help. 

If you're familiar with it, can you shoot me an e-mail?  Thanks.

I am new to Amphion and have this account that has a lot of account specifics, no automatic ADT (which means I have to search for the names, etc) which is not a problem for me, but there is one dictator who is ALWAYS awful, and I have been getting him back to back to back my first week with Amphion.  Did you find that you basically only had 1 or 2 dictators while there or did you have more?  Of course, I would not mind doing him occasionally but can't do this all day.  I will never be able to make any money, especially at the line rate that I am being paid.  I have 2 children of my own and 3 of my sister's children in my care.  I cannot afford to do this everyday and don't know what to do.  I work as an IC for another company making 9 cents a line, which is much more than Amphion, but really wanted employee status so was willing to make a little less, but I am afraid it is not going to work.  I do not want to have to find yet another company and start all over with them to only find out that they suck too.  Any suggestions?

Any MTs out there been asked to do overtime on a specific account and told this was mandatory and then when the time came to do that account were given something else entirely?  How frustrating is that especially on a Friday afternoon when you would rather not be working anyway!  It is also bad enough that the account they do give you has the worst audio in the world and keeps breaking up. AHHH!!!  Sorry, had to vent.  I have pretty much had it!

That's one reason.  Another reason is that its usually first in first out.  If suzy Q is sick that day, who will do her work?  All of the other employees have their assigned work to do, so where does that leave suzy Q's dictators?  Just out of luck? 

I work from a pool.  I love it.  I can pick and choose or I can sit all morning and take nothing; that's IC.

Now as an employee, assigned dictators could work but what if that dictator is on vacation for two weeks?  Do you get someone else's lines and take work from them?

It should really be first in first out.  I have my own accounts and I guess considered a small MTSO.  I do the work myself though - no subs.  If I had subs, I'd have them do first in first out even if that meant a different dictator every report.  That would be fair for TAT. 

If you want just one particular dictator and then the work runs out for that day, do you then start taking Suzy Q's work or do you sit and wait until tomorrow? 

Do you see how this can get really hairy for an MTSO?  They need the work done within TAT and can't spend that valuable time worrying about whether or not you are familiar, making the best lines for your pocket, etc.  It's not in this business to worry about the MT, the MT worries about themselves and how good their skills are and can perform the job handed to them.

One of the reasons the hospital I worked for outsourced was because they were tired of the work getting backed up when one or the other of us lonely 2 transcriptionists God Forbid needed a vacation day or two or three or maybe a week or two. 

I'm not trying to bash you, I just want you to think about their side of things and how no one would want the mumbler or the ESL, so how is that fair to that person who is assigned that ESL?

I would not have cared so much had I not already worked a FULL month of overtime.  Also, it was radiology which I cannot stand!  If I wanted to do radiology I would have kept my other job.  Not only are these short and do not give lines, they just stink.  Just my opinion.  Sorry all MTs who like doing them, I do not.

and will do the install for you - there will be a link where you hand over control of your computer and they install and test everything so you're ready to go.  Good luck to you!
