I'ts time to throw in the towel
Most of us have had good careers before choosing to work from home but the MTSO's don't bother to see us as individuals and instead dish out the same garbage to a 20-year veteran as they do to a 20-day newbie. I'm sick of the abuse and pay scale that is less than 20 years ago. Let them pay a newbie 7 cpl or send it to India. I don't care anymore. I'm going to start looking earnestly for a real job where I can be appreciated for who I am and will probably double my income overnight. If enough of us remember our own value maybe it will send a message to these greedy people on the other end of the obnoxious emails and instant messages.
Question for "Thanks"
Once upon a time there was a QA system where the dictating physician actually READ the completed reports and if there was a QA issue they didn't mind one bit letting the MT know about it. There are a few of those "old" MTs still around who passed the muster on the supreme QA and doesn't matter to them if you QA one or 1 billion reports, they're going to be doing the best they are capable of doing. Mistakes...yes...we're ALL human, but still every report they complete is going to be the best they can humanly do so why on earth would they even need to be QA'd? Don't know the OP from Adam so haven't a clue whether he/she fits in this category or not...probably not or he/she would be saying "go for it, QA every report or no reports but I'm giving you my best and I can't give any more."
oh, my. TIA means "thanks in advance"
xx
"thanks" for sharing this!! Interesting & sm
sad to see the crumbling of the industry. They keep saying shortness of MLS - do they not see why, cannot make a living providing the same skills and company excpectation on such a wage cut 40-60%. One paragraph says to the effect, can make more or the same. Bull. I worked on Beyond TXT, terrible platform.
Interesting how everything is all boxed up, (shark-like) very little mentioned about the MT (MLS). They will continue to buy up the competition just like MQ did and thus become a monopoly. It is important to get out the calculator and figure out how much you are getting an hour when all is said and done and how many hours you put in for that 2.5 to 4 cents a line.
Just how many lines can listen through, edit during an 8 hour shift.
2500 lines/day at 3 cents is $83 day= $10.37 hr. for all this skill and must keep up with the constant changing medical community. Can you even listen to that much dictation (minutes) and correct.? See why shortage of MT MLS
Okay, just a little frustration showing ...
Don't let it get to you, if you can help it. Life goes on. Good luck.
careful.....your IP is showing......LOL!

Nothing of mine is showing.
Don't worry 'bout me ;-)
Maybe I'm showing my ignorance
But I don't know why it wouldn't. When we use these platforms, at least in theory they are not supposed to do anything to our copy of Word. They just sort of overlay it with their platform. Over the last couple of years, I've accumulated several different platforms on my desktop without problem. Maybe if you tried running both at the same time you would run into issues, but using them separately should present no problem.
ur ignorance is showing now..
You stated VR demands constant checking and correcting throughout the whole document.
Those are the MTs who are so terribly outraged about the change to VR because they cannot make usage of their so helpful, comfortable and practical Expanders anymore.
How dang dumb is that statement. Those helpful, comfortable and practical expanders are what made us more lines and thus made us more valuable to the MTSO by making them more money! Sheesh....
Dennis Paulik not showing up
You know what...those 2 ladies did his dirty work for him...the 2 of them have built quite a reputation for themselves. I wonder if he (Dennis) will turn around and find them to be overpaid so that they will find themselves out of jobs too. Let's be honest, there's nothing they do that a person from India can't do...Just remember...you reap what you sow. That motto applies to not only to Dennis but to Kathy Clemmons and Colleen Neidert as well...because remember, God doesn't like ugly, which is all that they seem to have spewed here. This is a horrible situation and if I were in the shoes of these 2 women, I would worry if I would be the next person to stand in the unemployment line.
Your anonymous and just showing one of the reasons
that SS is a horrible place to work.
And you guys R showing everybody YOUR true colors!
What a spiteful bunch U are! Jeez, Louise.
I've been working 5 hours and it is still only showing 250 lines. It will
come up eventually correct, but seems to take forever.
Is Transtech payroll being done in-house now? My DD is not showing up yet today and it always is.
I know payday is Monday, but mine has always shown up at my bank today. I hope they don't start delaying our paychecks because it is being done inhouse instead of being outsourced.
Anybody else see their's in bank yet?
Again, your post is showing your lack of knowledge of the company now. sm
I am not going to argue with you but suffice to say that RD is no longer here either. It has obviously been a while since you were an employee of the company. I don't know and don't care why you left/or were let go, but do not speak of something you know absolutely nothing about. It only looks bad on you.
It was a web-inar showing how to use the BCBS insurance site, mostly. sm
Talk to HR if you need more help. It was presented by BCBS, not our HR group. Showed how to access your account, benefit stuff online.
I hope they keep posting. They're showing everyone their true colors. :) nm

Want to call you all kinds of management but showing them, no response at all. zzzzzzzzz

Typed in the USA
To be honest, I was not 100% serious when I posted about starting up Typed in the USA. But the response from people is so unbelievable that I am starting to. I'm trying to write back to everyone who wrote to me.
Do you think the trend might be starting to reverse from the cheap foreign services? The doctors are realizing that YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. Duh! And many transcription companies (not all because there are terrific companies too) are losing good employees who want to be paid fairly and treated well.
Look at all the sign on bonuses being offered in the Want Ads and the same companies posting over and over. There must be something wrong if you are willing to pay so much for new hires. I have never run a company so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about, but I would try giving that sign on bonus to the good employees you already have to make sure they stay and produce. Then maybe you have to hire less trainers, managers and overworked QA people because your employees stay longer and are motivated. You therefore have less overhead. Hiring more people at lower salary to save money might be a kind of trick that companies play for their stockholders or whatever. They can say look how little we spend on payroll while they are actually losing money in the long haul when quality goes down and they lose clients. But eventually the piper has to be paid.
Anybody see the movie Wall Street with MIchael Douglas? That movie is SOOOOOOO right about what is going on today. CEOs, instead of investing in their communities, became vultures. They would destroy a company to make money for a few backers and then the workers and community would be left to die.
Sorry to get a soapbox here! I'm transcribing orthopedics and my mind is wandering!
I don't know when she typed them
.
cpl - I have never typed for
I have never typed for anyone that required a line rate. Mine were always minutes.
That is funny because I typed in
DocuMed and it came up the very first response. Also, you can type comments on DocuMed in Google and it will show old postings from sites such as this one. I would like some info on them, too:)
The NPs and PAs I've typed for said
things like erythromy-A-cin and digoxacin and larNIX and pharNIX. So are they illiterate/dyslexic? We all know they're reading it from the chart. Amazes me.
OH I can't believe I typed "I was do." I'm so ashamed!!!
I KNOW you have to send it out as if you typed it yourself (sm)
My question wasn't whether I had to send it out at a 98 to 100% standard. My question was whether all of you VR lovers actually do that. I can't in good conscience send out work that is less than my best, but by the same token, I can't figure out how to edit the VR crap fast enough to make a living.
WHAT IS YOUR SECRET????
I realized it after I typed it :)

I have typed oncology only.....
for at least 10 years. Of course, in my opinion, it is easier to do this because when doing clinic work you have less doctors, less work types and such as that. For me, the pay is the same as any other MT. I love typing oncology though and would hate to have to go back to acute care.
Yes, typed 3 voice files
The recruiter gave me three voice files and I had two hours to return them. Not bad, one was kind of hard. You only have to fill in the blanks, not transcribe the entire report. Just like doing an edit. From the time I applied on-line, got a call from the recruiter and tested and then offered a position was less than two days. They sent me an equipment package and paperwork, I trained and now I am working my way through the three week full QA process. Nice people so far, I am very happy with Medware.
Ugh, I have typed face lifts before. sm
No way would I want that spoon elevator peeling my face off the muscles and then wrapping my head in gauze. So gross. I'll take the wrinkles any day.
Tssc pays for everything that is typed sm
So if you type a patient name, dob, or dos, you get paid for it. TSSC works for some people, for some it does not.
I've heard and typed that before.
I don't really see the humor, it is just technical terminology. Just my opinion.
I like Typed in the USA, but I would make it Transcribed in the USA
It's longer but better description than typed, at least I think so. Good luck!!!
review typed reports
The only way I know to review reports already typed is they go to QA for anything. Of course, when new, the MT is on full QA.
It sounds like the OP is wanting as much info on DQS as possible, so here are a couple things I don't believe I saw in this thread.
Keep in mind that as new accounts are started, there will also be blanks left, usually for demo things, landmarks, etc., so that is a big help, too.
Bravo! Your message should be typed and placed on
But most importantly, of course, on the desk of every MT company CEO across America.
Greed is NOT good. It's why our entire economy is in the mess it's in today.
Probably typed by templated machine -
I seriously doubt the tech of the physician himself. The company I used to work for also had this and it was a templated program that typed out the report (in other words, VR).
Also wanted to add, if they want spaces typed, they
dang sure better pay for them!
All questions are being TYPED; everyone is on mute. nm

99% Indian offshore typed - They hold on
to US transcriptionists until a new account is up and running, then let you go. I am friends with someone that did QA for them - she told me that was the company's practice. She no longer works for them because she spent more time retyping reports.
I've typed radiology on Extext...
for several years now and I wouldn't want to work on any other platform. I love it.
The session statistics will vary depending on several factors. I also worked for a company where the ability to view was not allowed, and the reason for this was because the Extext line counting was different from the line counting used by the company I worked for. If the specific contract your MTSO has with the account you work on is not paid by the same line counting configuration, then the session statistics will not be the same as the line counts you get off of the iChart website which are set up according your account's specific line counts parameters.
You will probably find as many people that hate Extext as you do that love it...I for one definitely do love it. Good luck! :)
Let spellcheck to its job. When typing and I knw I typed a word
h
That's ridiculous. If you have ever typed a pathology report
you would know that. It is sometimes a double process, typing the gross and then going back in and typing the microscopic.
I cannot fathom how anyone could offer so little money for those type reports as the terminology is extremely technical.
easy, typed test reports
no ESLs, typed 2 test reports in under 10 minutes, these are just cysts, skin pathology.
I think she means don't bold it until you've typed
after a space. Then once you've transcribed past the header, go back and bold it. Meditech is blah!! You'll get used to it, but it's not transcription friendly for sure.
speaking, sorry for the typo, but I typed it too fast! nm
nm
It usually is 10-12 lines typed per minute of dictation. nm
x
Please excuse the typos. I typed fast as this
is such a hot subject with me. I should have proofed before I hit post. The content of the message is 100%, although the QA did not pass well. Forgive me!
I have big compassion for typos typed in haste
or even anger! Everybody does this.
But the errors that I pointed out are not done out of haste or anger, these are done out of lacking of grammar and spelling skills.
Done repeatedly, in this post 10 times the same mistake!
It is MT
MTs for plural
in the 60s, not in the 60's
etc....
I know, but some posters use it as moniker too, especially when typed with capitals..sm
Imagine, I even know that 'sm' means see message, wow, ain't I smart!
Don't feel bad! In an e-mail to my sup, I typed "here" rather than "hear."
Just concentrate on the reports being typed. This board isn't the Wall Street Journal. We are usually tired and/or in a hurry when we post.
11,000 per week editing lines, 5,500 straight typed.
Don't know how much it is for husband and kids. $70 a week for me and two kids.
Must have typed too much, lots of spaces taken out. I'm not error-ridden, what's up w/that? nm
