Well, it doesn't sound much different than my situation. I have 3 accounts, was hired to do OPs specifically, I also do all cardiology diagnostic types as well, and willing to help out on other work types occasionally. I really don't think it is a matter of that work type running out.
I think I will have to inquire, just doesn't add up. Thanks for the advice.

HMMMM
The time it took for you to post this, you could have already dialed them up yourself and the got the answer straight from the horse's mouth!
hmmmm
Would not be my first choice... criminal history / conviction problems. Think strings back in Sept about their legal issues in newspapers were deleted from this site. May be a good fit for you, but check it out thoroughly first.
Did you ever think hmmmm
Did you ever take a test and know good and well you aced it only to have a person call you back after several days to tell you you had failed? I tested only because I had approached them, never called them back, got another job in the meantime (theirs was fulltime and I wanted part which I got) and then today they are telling me didn't pass-- don't believe it with my 30+ years of MTing and told him exactly that. Thanked him for his time, of course. What is to be will be anyway is the way I look at life....
Hmmmm
I sure don't recall it taking that long. I was hired a little over a year ago. I didn't go through any testing process at all... Just an interview. I have been totally satisfied and happy with them so far. Good luck!
Hmmmm
Why do I feel like somebody is snooping in my mailbox all of a sudden? Exactly how do you know that's not me? I do over 20,000 lines a pay period at least, sometimes more, so as you can see the highest pay of the new incentive scale is a definite increase, at least for me.
hmmmm
Well one would hope that there's enough work to go around. If that's the case then making sure clients get their reports in a timely manner is a good thing and makes our TAT's look good as well. The idea that they'll take just anyone who'll walk in thru the door over there is a good example of how little thought the MT company heads put into this kind of work. Makes one feel special doesn't it {sarcasm implied}.
Hmmmm
and that is exactly when a great company begins to fail. Have to start hiring more micro managers, transcription leads, etc. Too big too fast, and this is exactly what this sounds like to me, AND I have been with companies like this before, it is NOT GOOD. You end up being a number, not a name. So many companies fail when they grow too fast, not just transcription. Number one no-no. Last year the fight on who to work for was between Keystrokes and Transtech. As of now, they are both getting negative reviews, big ones....stick with a mom and pop co. who treat you right, KNOW YOUR NAME, you are not just a number. You will make plenty of money for those bills, guarantee it! 
Hmmmm...
I applied for a position at Keystrokes, was contacted by the CEO saying my test scores were excellent, was offered a job and sent paperwork to complete, sent back my paperwork with all my personal info and here it is 2 days later and I have not heard back from the recruiter after sending an email regarding whether or not she received my paperwork. Hmmmm.... .... 
Hmmmm
I'm not too sure what to think of it either. I've only been with DVHP for two months. So far I'm enjoying it. I do know that Transcend does the transcription for one of the hospitals near me (docs I have transcribed before). I will be calling in for the conference call Sunday (missed Friday's because I was out Christmas shopping). I would like it if I kept the same accounts I'm on now, since I'm pretty used to their formats, doctors, etc. Then again, it would be nice to be added to that local hospital as well, since I am very familiar with the doctors and area.
I've heard good and bad things about Transcend, but I've heard the same about many other MTSOs as well. We will just have to see. When is this merger supposed to take place?
No hmmmm about it
if you live near East LA. It's a very common term there, unfortunately. I used to transcribe psychiatry and we had a lot of rehab reports with guys who were jonesing for their next fix.
Hmmmm
 Thanks for the info ...no worries about me coming on board then.
Seemed a little too good to be true at first, then the flags started popping up.
Best wishes!
IN RESPONSE MS. HMMMM....
you aren't to bright are you?
Hmmmm...are they hiring??!?
x
Hmmmm... I dont think so
xx
hmmmm - can anyone say antitrust?
Just wondering here, may have to wiki that one. How large would they have to be to constitute a monopoly in the industry?
I worked, ever so briefly, for focus and it was a disaster. Start, middle, finish. It was, I suppose, a great place to get my feet wet, and if they had followed through on their promises as they said they would, I would probably still be there. I had a real problem, though, with the whole smile and nod policy with the support staff. You know, they don't understand a word/text message we say and so they smile and nod?
Anyhoo, there is my two cents.

hmmmm....34 years and going ....
working exclusively at home for the last 9 years has revived my love for the work, as well as changing over to being an SE vs employee in the last few years. I love the freedom from a rigid schedule. I have always enjoyed medical knowledge, feel a sense of satisfaction from deciphering the difficult dictators and making a sensible, readable accurate report out of mumbojumbo. Course I love sailing through the easier ones in between. I guess I still find it challenging on some levels too. Maybe if you find it too hard to do 'one more report' sometimes, then it may help to work a bit less, take more vacation time, to try a new account, new hours, new company or change up something...get a massage, get refreshed!!
Hmmmm, that should be search box, DUH
Hmmmm - that's interesting
I read here that some hospital is docking the pay of their in-house MTs because they can't edit as fast as escription says they should be able to. Now, who to believe?
Hmmmm, I wonder who transcribes these reports.
Hmmmm.... Sounds like you're better off without them anyway!
nm
Glued to my seat???? hmmmm
Hmmmm ... this is a good question ... sm
and one I'd also like the answer to! ...
Hmmmm..... VEDDY interesting!

sounds like slander...hmmmm
;)
Hmmmm has no right to voice things like that...sm
Every poster has the right to post her/his opinion on this board, in a respectfully manner, and let the dicussions begin and go on!
Nobody has the right to tell anybody to 'look for another job or profession' or 'to shut up'.
Hmmmm. Did you just suggest that people not come to MTStars?
You are a total mess, and how anyone could take anything you say seriously is beyond me.
You have a real problem! Please seek help!
Geez.. you must work where I have been working..hmmmm
Sounds familiar
Reading about how other country handled this, hmmmm
just on Entertainment Tonight they were telling about some pretty raunchy things, for example saying body found in net hose and other items that maybe should be left alone. It is not just other country giving out information, better look at our country also. Some of the weekly tabloids get things like this and run with it.
I've got a pretty nasty ESL account with them and I don't get 10 cpl. Hmmmm....nm

Hmmmm..I was afraid of that. I guess I saw that coming. Everyone said it'd change with the merger
and the days of a gift card would be gone. Oh well, it kind of goes along with everything else, different way to get shorted on line counts too. I guess ...This is what they call cutbacks. Tis' the season
