we won't have to read any more of such ridiculous babble.

I was trained by a mentor.  She had, at at time, over 25 years' experience in the field, about nine years ago.  I have no idea what they teach about this in the classroom, but I suppose my answer would have to be that it was chiseled in stone.  LOL!!! 

However, just for you, I found this information provided in the BOS2:

In an independent benchmarking study of the MT profession conducted in 1999 by the Hay Management Consultants (HayGroup), three distinct professional levels for medical transcriptionists were identified and described. 

The first item listed for the Professional Level 3 states, Recognized as possessing expert knowledge of medical terminology, anatomy and physiology, disease processes, signs and symptoms, medications, and laboratory values related to a specialty or specialties.

Level 2 refers to the same knowledge, but as seasoned rather than expert.

Level 1 refers to the same knowledge, but as basic rather than expert or seasoned.

I would think that an expert level, even a seasoned level, would include available dosages and what the medications are used to treat, wouldn't you?

Does this mean you have to know this?  No, I don't think so, but I would also think the transcriptionists with expert and seasoned knowledge earn more than those with basic knowledge.

Hope this helps! 

Did you get fired from a company in IL ?

I joined JLG about 9 month ago and I am thrilled with the experience that I have had.  Although the company has been around for 20+ years, a group of good industry veterans who know how to operate fairly to both employees and clients have joined the company in the past year.  I followed my manager from another giant company. 

I have also worked on this account and it was plauged with problems from the start.  The hospital required the account to be implemented in a matter of days, there were technical issues and the hospital management staff was new and the employees were mad because transcription had been outsourced.  Personally, I won't miss this client but good luck to those that get it. 

There is plenty of work at JLG and I have already been advised on my new assignments

I actually know a couple of the people who regularly post positively on this board about Transcend. I email with them quite regularly. They aren't management. There's one theory down the drain.

And, no, I'm not management trying to create a story, either, although you probably suspect that I am.

Try to accept that people can be happy and supportive of their employer. It's better to be part of the solution than part of the problem.

positive experiences with Focus.  I've seen other posts like this where a person will ask about a specific MTSO and say something like just good things or no negative posts please.

It just strikes me as looking at the world through rose colored glasses.  How can you make an informed decision if you only consider one side of an argument?  It's just silly.  Why bother to ask any questions at all?  Just take the job and be done with it.  People take time to answer questions honestly here and try to help out fellow MTs so they don't make the same mistakes we've made and what thanks do we get? 

Pollyannas like the OP who just wants to hear the good. 

about companies. I hope it's not you being sued. I don't know if you ever worked for TT or not but  I've seen some of the outrageous things stated against TT and I just don't know if I would believe some of those posts. I think they may be disgruntled employees taking out their hatred on a company that, until a few months ago, had great reviews. Then someone posted a nasty comment about them and it's been going downhill since then.

This board is for comments on companies, but not some of the nastiness I've seen against TT lately so, again, I say, it all started with one disgruntled employee and snowballed from there. If they are suing someone, they must have a good reason, don't you think?
