Doesnt matter. Not much from one MT but X many

Doesnt matter if YOU see it as conflict or not.

Doesnt matter how good the platform is without work does it.

Hosp's. would HAVE to pay more if we could stem
by continuing to sound off to anyone in this country that will listen. Why should the US worker subsidize offshore companies by sitting and watching their futures in MT dry up?
No ESL's? Maybe a clinic, but never a hosp or MTSO.
In this business, it'd be rare to find an account/hospital/MTSO without ESLs. It's part of reality. And keep in mind that whitebread docs can be worse that ESLs, by far. If you REALLY don't want to do ESLs, cruise the clinics in your vicinity, interview each doc to listen to them speak (ideally get them to do a test dictation for you), and make them an offer they can't refuse.
Seriously, though, you might look for companies that have midwest accounts/are located in the midwest, as the ESL ratio often is lower in the midwest states.
And if that doesn't work out you might look into legal transcription. Anyone notice that there seem to be fewer ESL lawyers than doctors? Lol....
If a lot of MTs, hosp. personnel, & docs are on all

Are the ones who lost their main hospital on 6/3. Good for them. Not great for the rest of us. :(
Does anyone know what services the Hosp. of Univ. of Pa. uses or who to contact there for info of MT

ho ho ho but the hosp can play Russian Roulette w/going to court with
Those medical records became cheaper for hospitals how? When they go to court with those expensive incorrect records and LOSE, wonder if they think it was cheaper?

Pays for downtime when work runs out and benefits are pretty decent.
Glad to hear things are better. Hang in there. I know how hard it can be... this profession just isn't what it used to be.
Good luck to you!!

TTS-Why doesnt this come up in the archives?
Maybe it's my search engine but whenever I put in TTS, TTD or anything abbreviated, nothing comes up. Anyhow, does anyone have any information on this company, TTS?
OMGosh, TRX who doesnt pay is advertising.
Be forewarned. They DO NOT pay.
Just hope your TL doesnt have initials MA.

My brain would look like an overdone fried egg if I do do VR for more than one day. At least when we do straight-typing MT, we're creating something - a medical document. VR is just robot-work, and adds to the concept that that's all we are, as well. Nonhuman, dispensible robots.
Doesnt it seem like there arent many companies hiring right now. nm

You said it's not TT..but the name does start with a T doesnt it. This sounds way too familiar.
 And personally, I have about had it. They want you to submit your schedule but you never get to work it due to lack of work on your accounts so you have to bounce around, log off, come back later, etc.. It's funny how there's no work during the week but come the weekend when no one wants to work, then you can find some work if you want to work every weekend ....no thanks
It doesnt make sense to just keep job hopping
The reality is changing jobs doesn't necessarily create a better situation. There are new insurance deductibles to be met, learning curve and lost wages due to that, and then once you get settled in, the company may go a completely different direction. These companies are rapidly making changes as technology advances. Just because a company is currently paying 70% for VR doesn't mean that is what they will be doing tomorrow. Changing jobs is often a pain in the rear. I'm not jumping around anymore. I'm tired of it. It is stressful, and I have come to realize when you change jobs, you are just shifting problems around. My last job, I could not tolerate the crazy QA audits that demoralized and were a constant source of stress, mandatory OT, and just being nitpicked to death over senseless stuff. At least at TT I am not stressed in that way. I'll give them some time to figure things out. I don't think paying people half for VR is the answer, at least not in the system I work on (I have heard it is better on the other platform they use). I think they will come to realize this. They may have newbies lining up at the door to do VR for half pay, but that will bite them in the butt if that happens because the quality will drop. I have many, many years experience. I should be paid for my brain and paid well if they want their reports to reflect any kind of quality. I think TT will find balance eventually ... at least I am hoping. For now I am staying put.
That doesnt sound too slow to me.. I would probably be slower, I am tired and old too.
 Wish it were just my fingers though.
Oh my gosh.. Do they realize they outsourced to someone who doesnt pay her employees, thus she cant
them apparently. How sad is that? I know when I worked for our local regional medical center here they had MQ do their outsourcing but the worst was when the hospital did not renew MQ's contract but they failed to tell their employees. They knew months in advance the date their contract ended but still didnt bothering telling the employees who kept trying to dial into the hospital's system only to find out their passwords didnt work anymore. I thought that was kind of bad on their part. I have never had any contact with MQ and did not know about them up to that point but that sounds pretty low to me and about par for these online companies. I am about burned out on the whole thing. So, is it possible that your local hospital is not renewing their contract with TTS?
You are fortunate. I hope you always have work and it stays that way and doesnt change.

Not yet but our office is being transferred there I think with out accounts. Doesnt sound good. Why
did you transfer from Foxboro. I wont stay there if they take me off my accounts. How is the quality with putting people on all these accounts. It is my understanding all the NE offices will be working out of Amherst fairly soon. What a fiasco that sounds like it will be. How long do you think this will last until all the good MTs move on if that office contines to do that.
Jesus doesnt post on this board. No point in asking Him any questions here.

Of course company doesnt feel compelled to share this info. Is there anyone there who would be
;P
There is no working out the bugs on bad sound. If it doesnt work you move on. My
accounts have problems but I put up with it, some people will, some wont.
Agree, lines are hard to get. I also think the sound quality doesnt help things. nm

Has anyone ever noticed how DQS picks up noise terribly in the background. Doesnt make my life any
easier trying to hear the dictator.
I suppose you have to write down the line count for every single document and it doesnt track them
for a total for the while day. That is what I was wondering.

Bummed!!! Apparently the MDI-FL side doesnt get incentives. It seems like the benefits/incentives
would apply to everyone. Oh well, wouldnt be the first time. 
What does it matter what others do?
I don't believe you're an MTSO at all.
CPL DOES NOT MATTER
So well said. With a bad platform and missing demographics you never get to transcribing.
Not a matter of...
doable. It's a matter of the difficulty of your account!!!! Consider yourself very lucky to have gotten an easy account.
Why does it matter?
Why does it matter that it is MQ overflow as long as you have work??

Why does it matter?
Either take and use the advice or don't. You guys make us all look like a bunch of grumpy ol' hags. She simply gave some advice, she wasn't trying to insult anybody. No need for everyone to get defensive. If you are an experienced MT and know what you're doing with your resume, then chances are you're not putting Burger King on there....so she's obviously not talking about you. I wouldn't suggest anyone put their email address on there....spammers search the web and have bots that search the web just for that. Any email address they find....spam, spam, spam. Also, any spammer could send an email with an attachment saying it's a resume but it's actually a virus. They have to safeguard themselves too, and many times that means not opening attachments from senders they don't know/trust.
Does it really matter?
Seems like the certification would be a waste of money to me.
What does it matter...
Speech and straight type are totally individual opinions. There are so many different factors and I am trying to sort those out. It is not the difference between scared to try and how many others love it. I want facts, which never appear on this board. I want to hear from the people who have been doing straight type for at least 10+ years, no less. That is what I have been trying to say in my case...it does NOT mean I am ignorant, because I certainly am not, and it does NOT mean I can't face change, which I certainly have had to do over and over again in this industry. Haering some of the responses so far, it seems as though some think it is just like learning a new account, and that can at times be gruesome..but with the added cut in half of pay.... So give it a rest you speech presidents. This is an individual thing and all I am tring to find out is the true ratio of experienced who like it/not and inexperienced love it/not. So far, I am not sure. I am so confused right now, my brain is rattling and I think I just need to go watch Housewives of New York. I can dream of being rich eh?
sometimes it's not a matter of...
sometimes it's not a matter of typing slow. you should consider the fact that sometimes due to demos, ESLs, quality, etc, etc, it is just impossible to go any faster. I'm a pretty fast typist and a good MT, but on certain accounts, I struggle to make the LPH. Good for you that you make good money. Unfortunately it is not possible for all of us. Consider yourself lucky. ;)
truth in the matter
I know people who still work with Transhealth and they are just sticking with it until something better comes. They don't feel appreciated. When I worked with them, the mgmt team needed to practice their professional skills. Everyone has their right to post their opinion and that is what it is, an opinion like anyone else who posts positive/negative comments about the company or any other company. It is up to the person to make the best decision and all we can provide is our opinions regarding the matter.
