Say Kitty - you definitely are a newby. Maybe after a few years of doing medical transcription you will change your tune and understand why some really nice MTs turned so nasty.
MedQuist newby frustration
I have been with Medquist for appx 4 mos now and can't get to the line count they want me to have, which only is $6.55 an hour. I cannot live on this hourly wage. I came from a larger hospital in my area and did very well with line count with using text inserts for our benefit and made double this and more. I believe I am utilizing everything that I have here to be faster but don't know why it isn't happening. I am very frustrated when I look at other companies and feel that it will be the same thing if I took a new job. I enjoy working at home and have been here for almost 4 years. Am I just wasting my time in this field? I feel inadequate and feel as I have wasted time and money to go to school for this. Can someone give me some advice?
