You have obviously never worked as a pharmacy tech

In Reply to: I disagree - Janine
Can you rattle off from memory the top 200 frequently written drug names? Can you calculate the rate of an IV drip of a drug based on mixing it into different types of IV solutions based on mg/dL/kg? Have you ever had a report filed against you with your state's Board of Pharmacy because you dispensed a 3 month prescription of a drug and failed to notice that one of the packages was a different strength than the other two, potentially killing a patient? You don't have to have a BS degree to work as a PT.
You can say what you will - but you show how under educated about real business affairs in your posts.
Years of experience for newbies and having a tough time finding jobs? Not when I look at jobs offering 5 cpl and the caliber of the MTs who accept those positions, or when I look at the nationals who are raping the incoming MTs with their mentorship programs...or what the newly merged AAMT/MTIA organization is doing to change how to define a character line because of MQ's legal woes from fraudulent billing practices and the MTSO business leaders who hold positions in the MTIA are mostly offshoring corporate executives.
What our pay should be is no different than that of any other business in this global economy. Did you know that Microsoft has petitioned the US Government to lift the limitation on the number of work visas for highly trained foreign workers because they cannot meet employment demands based on available US similarly trained workers?
I don't even own a television and I feel a bit more educated in these things than you. Please don't preach to the choir. I understand you are trying to educate others, but you're argument has holes that a truck can drive through.

In our town, we have a little local pharmacy or many
I tried to stick with my little local pharmacy, but started having problem with insurance issues, which miraculously didn't happen at CVS. Something about CareMark is my insurer for meds. So, I switched to CVS primarily due to these glitchy insurance problems with my scrips. All went well for a month or two, though I felt bad ditching the little local guy. Well, then I started having all sorts of medication errors from CVS - wrong med being given in my bag, wrong dosing, etc. When I started complaining, I realized that CVS and CareMark are basically one and the same - another mass merger thing. So, I believe that CareMark deliberately gave me problems when I used anyone but CVS, and it turns out it was true. I have gone back to my local pharmacy, and he confirmed what I thought had been happening. Its like conspiracy theories everywhere these days. He said he couldn't say a word, though, as he had been threatened by lawyers not to make the connection for people - we had to figure it out on our own. Well, me with my big mouth, I'm telling everyone I know!! LOL. So, no, not impressed with CVS either, and no, they don't care about their mistakes - locally or corporate. We're all humans, after all, though some have jobs that could kill fellow humans. LOL.
I worked for Med-Tech Resources many
years ago, went through their in-house OJT program, which was excellent bar none, but only worked for a short while for them because of another transcription opportunity presented to me closer to home (we had to work in-house then). They are a good company, have been around a long time, and I have one friend who has worked with them for years.
Would not hesitate to recommend Med-Tech Resources in Marietta, GA.
Have worked for both. Trans Tech is by far the best choice!! nm
Yes, I had contacted tech support and that is how I found out to try the adapter but it never worked
I just wish I knew why they dont just do away with the 9-pin and just either go with a 15-pin or USB.. the 9 is a dinosaur.
I also worked there. Hated DocQScribe & left after tech person toasted my

Have you considered radiology tech or lab tech?
A lot of the credits you have acquired for nursing transfer to both of those programs. Probably a little less stressful.
try transriptiongear.com's tech support. They do gearplayer tech support whereever you bought yo

Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Svcs?
Which is the one that everyone is always saying is so good to work for? Trans Tech Medical Solutions or Trans Tech Services out of Iowa? Thanks for any clarity you can provide!!!!
I worked for a temp agency for 3 years..LOVED it. Just worked. No counts, no hassels, GREAT pay..
No benefits at the time. I even learned pathology while temping (8 months on that assigment). I loved the variety, the ability to say I'm not available such and such time. I'd do it again in a heartbeat if I didn't need benefits.
A company is ONLY supposed to verify that someone worked there, what dates they worked, whether PT o
and last date worked. It opens everyone up to a lawsuit if more is given, so most companies are told by their attorneys and business advisors to verify only.
No one has a right to a reference, only verification of employment.
Med-Tech
I worked there for 2 years and I liked it fine. The company has been going through changes internally and going onto a neew system, so I don't know how it is now. You do have to work in-house until you get up to speed (I think that is still applicable) No problem with getting paid direct deposit every two weeks. Supervisors and QA people are readily available for questions/problems. A very fair and nonabusive QA team Some have not liked the company, but I found them fair and easy to work for, one of the better services I have been involved with. They deal with hospitals and large clinics, no individual practices. You get a variety of work. You do have to start out working evening shifts, I believe....like I said I've been gone for a while, but I hope this helps.
Med-Tech
I tested with Med-Tech a few days ago and I got an E-mail today to contact them regarding my scores. Does anyone know if this is a good company and/or if this is good news? Thanks!

Med-Tech
Are you still working for them? How is it?
tt tech
how is the technical department at transtech? Is it better to have your own computer or are theirs pretty reliable??
Thanks to all in advance. I would appreciate any input.
Med-Tech Help . . . .
Does anyone else work for Med-Tech? I got my first check but not my second and no one in payroll has responed to me as of yet. Do they only pay once a month? Or only cut a check over a certain amount? I'm really tired of fighting for my money with these transcription places. It makes me sick. I work because I have to work -- it's not like it is just a hobby!
re: Med-Tech
They pay on the 1st and the 15th of the month. When did you receive your last paycheck?
MT Tech
 Why do they have a flashing "now hiring" sign? Everytime I call in for work the pool is dry!
CPR Tech
Also did a short time with company. Dictaphone needed and second line. Thought platform was easy enough. No training given, jump right in with heavy ESL and super speed MDs (was told ESLs but not told almost every dictator would be one). Rerecording makes ugly MDs even worse. It was assumed experience in all fields. Pay was on time, however.
Med-Tech
Does Med-Tech offshore?
Maybe the tech can get in there and see if
s
T-Tech
I know there has been a lot of discussion about T-Tech on here lately but would like to know if there is anyone there who really likes it and would be willing to e-mail and share their experience. Would like to know about schedule flexibility, software, ESL, etc. Thanks in advance.
Med-Tech
Is there anyone out there with familiar with the company Med-Tech? Any information grealy appreciated.
Ask Tech
There is a word Expander on BeyondTXT. Ask them. I do believe they can include what they call a short-cut which will export your Expanders over. Not exactly sure, but they are really helpful... glad to see we have new MTs.... keep in touch if I can be of help. Im relatively new but would share what knowledge I have. I work on BeyondTXT for 2 months. 
can't the tech help you do that?

Tech should help
The techies are very aware of how to transfer your MQ Expander files to be used in MDI. Ask Matt or Greg, they have been doing this for years! Ask them about the aco file, do not try to do it on your own.
MED-TECH
Anyone know what MED-TECH pay is starting at? I have a year exp. I am wondering what kind of pay the offer generally. They sent a test to me. I hate to waste time on testing if the pay is not good. I already have one job with bad pay. I don't want another.
Med-Tech
Does anyone in the world work for Med-Tech, at home or locally. Infomation on this company is like looking for a ghost!! It's like no one really works for them. Even locally. Or is there information that you just can't get on this company? If anyone has worked, is working, or has any info on this company please share.
MED-TECH
Did you take their test yet? It takes the recruiter awhile to get back to you. I passed their test and was offered a job, but it took awhile. For various reasons, nothing they did, I turned them down.
Med-Tech
I don't know. I Emailed you.
Med-Tech
I think they are in Covington. I spoke with a man.
Med-Tech
Hello MTs: I was wondering if anyone had any information on a company called Med-Tech located in Metairie, Louisiana. Is pay good per line, are they a dependable company, do they pay on time, just general information. Thanks
It worked! Latest suggestion from DJ's email worked. nm

If I worked a longer day, I just put my regular shift, 3p-11p, or whatever. If I worked sm
an extra day, then I was told to fudge the hours around on the other days so it all came out to 40. I didn't really mind -- have learned not to expect overtime in this profession -- and I was happy to be able to work whenever I needed to get the lines I needed. However, them telling me directly to fudge on my time sheet would seem to be a violation of the wage and hour laws. I suppose it doesn't matter now if they do not even have enough work to make the minimum line count necessary. Several of the companies I thought were golden seem to have gotten a bit tarnished lately … sad.
OSi tech setup
When an OSi tech person is in your PC, I would watch every move they make, especially when they are setting up your OSi email address.

tech support
The tech support is very good and very reliable at Spheris. A nice solid company.
Med-Tech or MWP services
out of Michigan, may specialize in x-rays. Anyone know anything about either of these companies? I have GOT to find something to supplement soon! Thanks!

Med-Tech in Georgia anyone?
I found a few posts from a couple of months ago, but only new hires. I would love to know how it is going for you guys? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Med-Tech - How long did it take
for you to hear back from them? I took the test, but I haven't heard anything. Thanks.
Med-Tech Resources. nm

Yes, make sure you tell the tech because sm
I think the TA speed actually is used to count your lines in some way.
Trans Tech
So do you like it there or what?
How is their tech support ?

Re Trans Tech...
Are their incentives pretty easy to obtain? Have heard many good things about this company. Thanks.
Uh, how about Tech Support?

Anything on Med-Tech Resource?

I was offered a job also. I asked about ASR, was told they have it, but if I did not want it, I would not have to do it.
Any other questions about T-tech?
ttech ttech ttech Can we get them a board already.
Tech question
I don't know if this is the place to post this, but I need help. I am waiting for tech support to call me back, but in the meantime, I am not working all morning. I work in a ExText Word. I just started working on my new laptop. For some reason, whenever I have to make a numbered list, it is automatically indenting when I need it to stay flush left. I am not computer savvy, and don't know how to fix it. Can anybody help me?
And - unfortunately most of the tech support
... I've ever dealt with is not as savvy as they make themselves out to be. I have worked for several companies and to be honest I know more about general stuff like this than they do. You definitely came to the right place at MT Stars.
