In Reply to: Nice one day, turns on you the next. I guess the MTs who - Me, too.
Perhaps you missed the email about contacting your direct supervisor. I would never call her for anything. I have a person to go to.

Why would you talk to owner?
Perhaps she is an account lead. That, or a buttkisser.
A special is defined as a special in Radnet - i.e. anything sm
from a PICC line placement to c-arm to interventional.
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!
and this is special because.....? nm

No, not very special.

There ought to be a special SM
piss and moan board just for all you negative types who like to do nothing but complain and be miserable and start trouble.
Well, now - isn't that special?!

you must be special, most people get 8 cpl or
less if on the new platform which only pays 60% of your line rate.
You must be special, some of us get nuttin
I haven't seen overtime request in 9 months.
How is the ESL situation at MDI-Fl? Any special
nm
You must be special, I never get a call
and only get a list of work to be done. A thank you once in a while would be nice, or even an offer to change accounts since there seems to be a hiring spree for them. I feel like if I fell off the end of the earth that they would call in 2 days to see why the work was not done,but no one gives a care whether you live or die there.
These special teams they have is just SM
sugar-coating the fact that you get the worst of the worst all shift, every shift. It allows them to funnel all the bad dictator to the MTs who can do them and allow everyone else to have the lighter stuff. I think if they are going to have BEST, STARs or whatever teams, they should be paying MINIMUM 12 cpl for this kind of dictation.
No, they were never special enough to have their own in the first place.
nm
Nah, nothing special. They are interesting though. Perhaps you could ask for some?
Maybe they can put some in your cue now and then. Just a thought.
I have never had a problem, but I know how *special* I am! LOL
I sometimes get ignored, but I know when certain people are in the office or at home, on shift or off. About 96% of the time I have no problems at all. Had platform problems today and got a prompt answer and had it all fixed up within about an hour.
Special situation
Hey guys,
I got kind of a special situation and was curious if anyone had any suggestions. I am living abroad for 6 months and then will be returning back to my house in the US. When we came abroad I was working for a company and then started with another company a short time ago. I like them a lot, but they are mostly VR and I can't stand it and make no money doing it, so I was out looking for another company. I am a US citizen and pay US taxes, but I am having trouble finding a decent company to work for. I know some people do this job and are military wives stationed all over, so I thought maybe someone would have an idea of a great company hiring at the moment? I am fresh out of ideas. I have several that will gobble me up gladly when we get back to the US, but I need to work while we are away. I can stay where I am, but I am not really making any money and went part time due to the VR editing mess. Anyone know of any solutions?
Thanks in advance!! 
I saw that ad and took special note of it also. (sm)
My first thought was their accounts must be extremely backed up and they (KS) are in danger of losing clients, thus the need hire MTs who are going to be able to pull off that line count within only their first week.
However, there is ALL WAYS more to a story than meets the eye.
It takes special ppl to do what we do. Either you have it or you don't. sm
Not everyone is cut out for this field. I'm sorry that it didn't work out for you because it definitely has it's perks! Like sitting in my PJs as I type this, while my hubby sits in traffic. It took him 5 hours to get home the other night from an ice storm. I'd list more bonuses, but there are just way too many and I have to get back to work.
Jayne, I didn't have to do anything special. I have
my SmarType running with MS Word and when my Word program opens SmarType is running with it. Load your SmarType and see if it will automatically start running when you open your Word program.
A special place in hell
awaits those people who told you that. I was an MT for 15 years and the most I ever made was 32K. That was several years ago when I worked at one of the last hospital jobs still around then. My pay actually got lower each year. I finally left the field.
Back in the day when I first started doing this, I constantly heard stories similar to my sister-in-law/aunt/cousin/best friend works in Florida/Texas/California/New York and makes $20 an hour doing transcription!!!!
I kept hearing about those big money jobs but I never found one. I've worked in every hospital, clinic, doctor's office and national you can think of and barely made ends meet. I'm so sorry they got to you. I wish I could get to people before they put down their money thinking their going to make big bucks. It's such a lie.
What makes u think u should get special treatment?
Tons and tons of ESL and you can't avoid them.
Is there special equipment required with
Just curious.
yes true, unless on Special Teams, then 9 cpl
nm
Do you need a special foot pedal for DVI?
nm
Special foot pedal
You need a special foot pedal for TransNet.
You must be a special person - to have someone care so much about you.
NM
So you deserve special treatment? sm
MTs that don't have kids are ALWAYS stuck with the weekends and nights. It is expected of us to take up the slack for the MTs with kids ALL THE TIME. And when asked ONE TIME to switch and work a night or a weekend so an MT without kids can do something, the answer is always NO I want to be with my kids. Go ahead and flame me because personally I'm SICK OF IT!
Nothing special about it. I'm an IC, and those were my requested days
x
Well, aren't you just SOOO special!
I also have a special needs child, but my company routes
our work so that one person can't do lots and lots of minutes and there not be any for the others. Usually there is plenty of work for everyone to do lots and lots of "extra" minutes. There have been rare days where there wasn't a lot of extra work, usually due to the hospital system being down, and I may be a couple of hundred lines short because there needed to be some work for everyone, but usually the next day there was plenty to go around. Unfortunately most companies just want the work done and doesn't care who does it. If someone stays up all night to work that is better for TAT, which is a major concern with most companies these days.
6.5-clinic to 8-acute, special teams-9

Any special reason, asking for a friend desparate for a job
Do they take newbies?
Can you tell me about testing? Do you need special foot pedal? (sm)
How quick are they to get back with you once you send resume? How quick is entire testing/hiring process?
TIA
No special errands to run, just work your shift. :) nm

So all three you just filled in the blanks and didn't need special equipment?
The MT I work with and I might test with them this week.
That's exactly what makes them special. They haven't lost touch with the MTs. (sm)
That's why I believe they are such a success. Seems like a lot of people are saying the same thing. I believe this will be my last MT job - they are great.
Agree. You can't fake experience with OPs and special procedures.
It's much better to be honest but tell them how much you want to learn & ask them to give you a chance.
I was told needed special foot pedal for Transnet,

Think his/her point was the share of the WEEKEND work. What makes you so special? sm
Everyone else has to work a weekend at least every now and then.
Go to their website. They don't pay for headers, footers, special chars. and they're Indian

No special software. Just copy and paste the report you typed to Microsoft Word on your
computer. Under the Tools menu, select Word Count. Characters are listed with or without spaces. Take the total of either and divide by 65 to get your line count. Then match that with what your company is giving you for a line count.
If you don't have Microsoft Word, then you can download a free trial of Abacus line counting software from the internet.
This is Ms B. - Talk all you want, I
You drove me to drink. A six pack just won't get it anymore. I am on the hard liquor. Just kidding. Get back to work.
You would have to talk to them about that.
Sorry. I believe that is confidential information as far as pay but as far as their requirements, it is my firm belief that 5 years is needed to be a good QA person.
I can tell you this because I still talk with MTs that
work for them currently, my name is still on the mail list, and I have not been there in over 2 months. I'm not doubting that they have hired people, but keep in mind that they have brought down the 3-5 year minimum experience, now down to 2 year minimum expeience. So that accounts for A LOT of the new hires.
lp talk
I think they pay very well. Correct about turnover on QA managers. Pay is 1st and 15th, but once in awhile, they change it to 7th and 22nd, and you wait an extra week to get paid, which is quite horrible. Is your new job Emdat? Did you find the job through here?
Like to Talk More to You
Hello,
You have an interesting name, something like HappyWithoutPS? Anyway, I see you know a lot about Precyse, the true straight skinny, eh? That's what I wanted to know about.
Do you mind telling me what company you are now working for? Do you like it? I am looking for a good one. Thanks.
Linda D.
No talk?
They also cannot control your rights to freedom of speech, as long as you are not spreading lies.
So, let's think of something else to talk about
nm
thanks for pep talk
I appreciate it. I was feeling like I just shot myself in the foot. I will check them out. From what you say, they sound okay. Is this one people refer to as MDI? I saw there is also MD-IT. Which is which?
before you talk yourself out of it,
you'd be wise to consider the future of MQ in this country. I left there after a long time and long time being their cheerleader. All the red flags of concern are in place.
You might be able to talk...
MDI-MD into that one. They seriously need weekend coverage.
