Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Several of us have directly emailed our liaisons and D, and have had absolutely no response.

Considering the fact more than one account has been without any appreciable work for over a month, I don't believe the speculation is all that 'wild.'

then you would know that I only drew the difference in what I made and what my weekly unemployment amount was - and applied for other jobs - offered a lot of IC work, but I already had that.
You never said any of those things. I've followed this entire thread

You don't have to read the entire board there
certain company.  There's no reason for you to be rude, she or he is just trying to help!  I'm one of those MTs that is fed up with the B.S. being fed to us by these we strictly hire U.S. MTs only companies. 
you obviously didn't read my entire response
or can't understand me.
Maybe you should learn to read - like the entire sentence!

I believe if you read the thread that

someone posted below you'll get the good, the bad, and the ugly.  As far as the nasty person I believe she has been talked to as things are better.  . 


Obviously, if you had read the thread, YES, she is affected!
She explains fully and in great detail how this could potentially affect her area, MTSOs, MTs, etc. Who is being vindictive? You're trying to stir up something and make no sense! Maybe Linda?? And comparing what sounds like a huge scandal, complete with convictions and fraud, to "a mistake"?  Trivializing a bit, don't ya think?

I have already called the management company who manages this building. They have no knowledge of a JAX Transcription who currently occupies or who will be occupying.

I need the suite number in order to check it out. There are several businesses in that office building. The rent in that building is very high...doubtful that a new company would start out in that building because of this.

If I have the suite number, I can go and see who actually occupies the suite. BUT, according to the management company, there is no such company in their building. This is the same building that Transcend is in. I have called Transcend and they have never heard of this Company. If you call the phone number that is provided in the posting by this company, you will get a regular answering machine. I think this is totally bogus.
RE: The Lisa thread... read this
I applied for a position with Transform. Sent my resume a week or two ago. This morning, my email program told me that my email was deleted before even being read. And the email was sent to Lisa.
Because YOU didn't read the thread... sm
It wasn't about the hearing test. Holy crap! It was a comment made that a woman's husband's company makes people sign something saying they can go into their past medical history. they don't want to hire them if they think they will make too many insurance claims.

That would unfairly bias the sick and the elderly.


Did you read this thread from the beginning, so that
you know what it is all about?
Do not jump in in the middle of a thread!
We all know that we can creat a 2nd email address for ourselves on our computer.
The discussion was about something completely different.
Read the thread from the beginning and then comment.


Read this thread that discusses it

OMG-this thread is ridiculous! I only read a few
posts but good grief.  With this much animosity in this company, no wonder it sucks to work for them.  As for the TTCEO, shame on you, your post isn't funny even if it was meant to be a joke, which hopefully it was or you are a very selfish and dangerous person to know in this business and I sure hope I don't ever come in contact with you!  As for the grow up versus grow-up poster, get a life-who cares how its spelled for cripes sake!  Out of this mile long thread that is all you can get out of it?
not okay for me to get angry but okay for her to antagonize, read the whole thread
if she talks like that to someone face to face she deserves to get her teeth knocked out.
Recruiter thread removed; please read. (SM)

I removed the thread about the recruiter as it was too identifying.  Some even used initials.


I want to point out two things: 


1.  Everyone is allowed to post their opinions.  If you disagree, say so, but do so without the name-calling.  It doesn't matter if you are supporting or disagreeing, stop the name-calling.


2.  If you post your name or list any moniker at all, do not be surprised when someone uses it.  This is a public open forum.  Anything you post is open to reply.  If you don't want your information used by others replying to you, then just don't put it out there.


If you have any questions, please let me know.

I read this thread earlier today and I was

amazed that nobody had called you a liar yet.  I knew it was coming.  It is human nature to be envious. 


I for one believe you, and I'm glad somebody is still making some money in this field. It gives me a little shimmer of hope. 


you really need to read through all these pages...see thread inside
there are threads on pages on this company board that are not positive. however, people tend to post negative rather than positive at this site.

people are not going to do your searching for you. do not assume because no one answered your question it is positive sign.

for example, here's a thread at page 10.


http://forum.mtstars.com/company/v/1/94910.html

good luck.
Read the whole thread, the comment we are referring to,
all the posts in between and THEN give your opinion. Do not jump into the middle of a thread and start bashing without knowing what it is all about.
Go to the beginning of this thread and READ ALL the comments!...nm

OMG PEOPLE... it wasn't the hearing.. you have to read the thread
It was the looking into medical records to see if you would be costing them too much insurance.

well it's kind of taken over the entire

how about listening to an entire conversation -
either on the telephone or to someone else in the room, you have to listen to make sure he doesn't remember to start back on his note.  I even heard a conversation about myself when I was in a hospital setting. They haven't a clue what is recording.
For the entire 8 weeks you've been there?!

Speaking strictly for weekends, she's probably not working, and has forwarded her calls to the help desk, where they could put you in touch with the weekend supervisors, if need be.  But I truly doubt she's ignored you the whole time you've worked there.  She's simply not like that.  She has answered every email I've ever sent her, and always answers her phone during her normal weekday.  My supe has an usual name that starts with D, same as yours, right?


I still have never run out of work the entire 1.5 yrs I have worked sm
there (with the exception of the holidays), and every single time I have asked to be put on another (additional) account, they have happily done so.

Doesn't scare me. Most of the entire MT
The ones who should be worried are the ones who've been screwing MTs for the past decade or so.
Of course its my career - has been my entire life
That's what makes no sense about this rant above me. She recounts 30 years of her life as an MT and how horrible its been, all the failings, and how it has ruined her life since nearly day #1.  Per her own words, she blames everything, from her blood pressure to her endometriosis, blames her divorce, missing out on her son, blames everything on MTing, yet she has done it for 30 years and now is back at it again.  She claims over and over to have failed at literally every aspect in her life she felt worth mentioning, blaming it all on MTing, yet here she is an MT. What part of that makes sense to you? We're to feel sorry for her??  I've been in this business 30 years and have been a success. I've had a zillion trials and hardships and battles, but my career is a success, or I would have gotten the heck out of it when it became a disaster. If that doesn't make sense to you, which obviously it doesn't, then there is no reason or sanity with which you can be approached.  Substitute MTing for any career - if you are failing at it, and you've lost everything in life due to that career, why are you still doing it?  That's a big question, because the blame is not on the career, its on the person.  Nobody else to blame but yourself. Period.
In a nutshell, that's what's wrong with our entire
economy! 'Way too many chiefs, and not enough Indians'. ('Native-Americans', I guess I should say, NOT the eastern variety!)

Too many people in management, and not enough people who actually do the work. Just like AIG, which is currently paying bonuses to its less-than-useless CEOs for doing absolutely NOTHING, you know the MT companies are giving raises and bonuses to the managers, recruiters, executives, etc., all the while trying to justify offering the MTs that actually produce the finished product in the service that they sell, lower and lower wages, which are not only ridiculous, they're no longer enough to live on.

The hospital I used to work at was the same - it was all about their image, and the fluff, and they achieved that fluff by grinding their workers into the dirt.
You misread. The entire MT industry is a
out of hundreds of thousands. Most people that get hired for job get put to work as soon as possible. The MT industry 'hires' people, then twiddles around with them for weeks. The MT is always the very last one in the pecking order, even though they are the ones who actually do the work that the MTSO gets paid for.
I had not worked the entire hour.....
I said I had made for a half hour 17, actually it was 17.84 - that was a total of 446 lines, count it yourself. That was NOT a full HOUR. Guess not smarmy after all, hehe
Well, my entire post didn't take
Anyway, the entire report would be free of most formatting.
It's like an entire industry run by a bunch of
With a little luck, and some back-at-ya kharma thrown in for good measure, maybe one day some of the MTSO CEOs will be Bernie's new 'neighbors'.
Yes, exactly!!! The entire profession will wind up being "dumbed-down"

to where anyone with a keyboard and software can do it.  It used to be that medical transcriptionists were required to have a great deal of knowledge to transcribe medical documents.  If they are reduced to being custodians, cleaning up the punctuation and doing odds and ends because the VR program already knows how to interpret the "big words," then anyone would be able to do this job, anyone.........anywhere in the WORLD!!!!!! 


Tell me, how many American MTs/editors are going to be left once we "fix" the broken machine that is replacing us all?


You make a WHOLE LOTTA SENSE, and it's becoming clearer and clearer that employment with smaller "mom and pop" companies who still believe in quality is the way to go. 


I know the entire staff there and they are all wonderful. If what you say happened sm
there is more to the story. I know you don't just get locked out of work for a medical emergency. The person in charge there would not do that. She is one of the nicest people around so it is my guess there is another side to the story.

To anyone thinking about working for TH, they are a wonderful company. If you want a fair company that has a good QA staff and nice supervisors, pays on time with their direct deposit, has good benefits, you certainly could not go wrong trying them.
That was my question the entire year I worked
for them. There will never be enough work and they will keep overhiring. Not sure why
IC pays ENTIRE tax to IRS, company does NOT pitch in.
This is a BIG boon for the companies as they try to pay ICs the same (or lower) rate than employees. At the end of the year, you will find yourself owing Uncle Warhead a really big chunk of money - and deductions? Forget it unless you can come up with more than $5,000 worth, which you may be able to do if you are buying a home - be real careful if you are renting. I don't care what anyone tells you. Talk to a tax professional before considering going IC.
Can you clarify last line? It contradicts your entire

I don't agree - you need to smell entire coffee pot

You don't know most men in this country...that would be a fact.....and in today's world, some of us prefer the foreign men, after decades of American ones.  It takes all kinds to make up an entire world and then an entire planet.


Live Globally, Dream Universally.....


Whatever. You're missing my entire point.
Nobody could be faster, and I have zero errors - I also QA. I score 100% on any audits, and can churn out 400 lph if I choose. Trust me, 20 years into this, you aren't as eager to churn out 400 lph/8 hours day. There is a ceiling, and many of us have reached it. Have fun!
I'm afraid their entire platform crashed.
I say their even tho I work at MQ as I am fortunate indeed in that my one and only account uses their own platform, not MQ's.
This entire forum is just too mentally deranged
And Bravoing? A woman's sad story who apparently has sacrificed her son's growth and childhood, her marriage, her own quality of life, and basically failed at MTing... now blaming it for even her multitude of health problems, yet she's back at it???  And she's lashing out at an MTSO apparently, because she herself failed for 30 years as an MT?  And you're yahooing her?  What is wrong with you all? Are you another woman who failed at MTing, have lost everything in life, including your health, and are blaming it on the MT industry, yet are still here doing it?  This is senseless and crazy.  I don't know the TTD person, or any of you, but god help us all if this is what my fellow MTs are all about. No wonder we can't get organized or on the same page.  You guys are in your own books entirely. 
The point of the entire mess is that a person, any
then spend about 30 years in that occupation, which, according to the person, was responsible for nothing but misery and failure and losses and misery and failure and losses.  Yet, and this is the key point, this person stayed in this occupation of which she obviously was NOT successful, i.e. a failure at this career.  If she were not a failure, she would have been successful. She herself blamed MTing on every item she listed - she blamed being an MT for losing her marriage, her health, her son, everything.  And then after she became so physically disabled and crippled from MTing and the lack of time to take care of herself, she RETURNS to MTing, only to come here and rehash the horror of her life, blaming it all on MTing. Oh, for Pete's sake, where is the sanity behind this?? And now you're here blaming me for pointing out the obvious, that this woman is not a success as an MT. As Dr. Phil would say, It ain't working for her.  Move ON!! She was able to fully reflect every incident in her life and that it was the fault of MTing- she should have gotten another JOB 30 years ago.  Where are you not seeing the common sense in this? After 30 years of her own personal failure in an industry where most of us ARE successful, she's blaming the industry and you are backing her.  Talk  about enabling someone. Bet somewhere along the line her husband wanted her to quit. Anybody care to take bets on that? I'll bet somewhere along the line her son asked her to quit MTing if she never got to spend time with him, or missed 8 out of 10 Christmases. She herself states she was holed up in a closet typing her fingers off. Well, she should have QUIT and done something else and maybe she'd still be married with a close son/mom relationship. Something is wrong with HER career choice, and that does not reflect the average human being - no matter if you're a lawyer, doctor, MT, McDonald's clerk or a garbage man. If it doesn't work for you, and its killing your life in every single area, do SOMETHING ELSE.  I ask again, what's wrong with you all who are sticking to this and making poverty wages?? Do something else!! I just don't get it and thankfully never will. I'm the nicest person in the world in real life. I'm a wimp. I'd give the shirt off my back to help someone. I've spent many a night crying over coworkers who got a bad deal with one big MTSO, but I would never sit and listen to a coworker who had ruined her life because she was not making it as an MT. I would help him/her find a career that was right for them.  Never just give praise to such a catastrophe. Obviously this person needs prayers, and direction, and guidance in life, but I think its way past pity after reading her post. Its way past that.

You judge an entire company by the posts of 2 or 3 out of 500+ employees?
That amazes me with MQ too. A few people post but the what they write it taken as gospel.

Keystrokes is very well run; it is sad that someone can make a blanket statement about something they know nothing about.
