if they are as bad as a lot of people say they are, they really need to get it together before sending out them ads. scccaaaarrryy

Yeah, but the AMA doesn't encourage patients to go
Yes, it happens. But the AMA doesn't encourage it. The AAMT on the other hand has done more to systematically destroy the MT profession than any other organization out there.
Thanks. So I guess it is close, then? Yeah, I wonder why it doesn't give you the # of reports Th

Yeah, this site doesn't accept quote marks. You have to
use an apostrophe around your phrase instead, or at least that's what I do.
LOL! Good to see you on here! Yeah, I took it and
more at Spheris, I'm sure Scott Bozo would hire me back in an instant after I called him a humorless Nazi when I left. We're out of work here, I mean NADA; even our friend in Ponte Vedra has nothing, this company is totally without. That's one of the main considerations for getting out; WMX is screaming for OT from what I hear. I'll keep ya posted! Good to talk to ya, GF! Maybe you could take a trip to Biloxi for me.....
Yeah, good luck getting anything....
from most MTs. 
yeah right. not good enough of a coverup SORRY
Stop making excuses for Softscript. All you did was show others including newbies WHERE NOT TO APPLY. So immature and unprofessional.
Yeah, and since when has it ever been good business
practice to repeatedly shuffle MTs around, off of accounts they're fast and accurate on, to ones they're going to be slow on until they learn? And once they DO learn, you yank 'em again.
Why do you think constant employee turnover is good business? No matter how much money you *think* you're saving, did it ever occur to you that the constant turnover means:
1 - There's something wrong with the way you're running the place, or with your pay, or your equipment, or all of the above.
2 - Crummy quality. Do you think your clients and prospective clients don't know that you change employees more often than most people change their underwear? Of course they do. It shows in the work they're getting back.
Oh. And BTW: Don't think for a minute that you're getting away with sneaking all that work off to India, thinking 'they'll never know'. And if they don't know, then all us MTs intend to tell them.
Yeah, you get to see how good or bad their voice quality is!! nm

Yeah it sure does feel good to vent here tho
..
Yeah, and the really sad thing is they will lose the GOOD MTs.
Yes, I too see a mass exodus of the good MTs as those who have no other choice but to stay at TT are stuck with VR.
Very disappointing, TT, very disappointing...
Doesn't sound good
I did not know they outsourced to India. No wonder they are paying the Transcriptionist so darn cheap. People in India can live off making very low pay. I better look elsewhere. Thanks for your advice.
Thanks!...Doesn't sound so good! lol n/m

Doesn't do any good to go to the media; i.e., TV
I sent letters and emails and watched their programs.Never a word mentioned.
One idea might be a Letter to the Editor of your local newspapers. That should get some people riled up in the local area. That's my next step. Government agencies aren't going to help. They're the ones who want this, so big business can profit.
and just because you have been an MT for 20 to 30 years doesn't mean you are good at it...
nm
Oh yeah, I'm sure that one of us will come up with some good letters to send the clients. nm

Hmm..that doesn't sound good. Thx for sharing. NM

Thank you - that doesn't sound good. Continuing to look ......nm

Doesn't that hospital MT job for Smartmed look really good?
10-12 cpl, lots of PTO, all basic-4 - Has anyone applied yet? I don't know if I want to go FT these days, but that sure looks enticing. I am curious as to what they count as a line. Can anyone share their experience regarding this ad, or this company?
Phew...! Doesn't sound good! sm msg
It sounds as if the owner loses her cool! Not good! Thanks!
Superior offshores, Pro doesn't have a good
reputation. I can't see anything good coming out of it.
This good Christian company doesn't pay their MTs. nm
I'm so sorry to hear this. It doesn't sound good. I hope you
nm
Umm, MDI doesn't know who she is by her post so she isn't obligated to give a good exp.
I'm sure MDI doesn't appreciate the lies and people posting like they know something when they don't but I doubt they mind someone posting in their defense re: pure crap posts.
Yeah, but the sound quality is horrible on all accounts. Good luck with that!

Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did. I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did. There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon. I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
Beware of really good marketers. They spin. The marketer doesn't make your schedule. nm

lmao!! yeah maybe I'm the recruiter...suggesting that my co-worker is the problem. yeah that make

Yeah, yeah, I spelled health wrong -
I am very angry right now and my fingers are taking it out on the keyboard.
Doesn't apply if your OSI account doesn't use Ichart.
It is the Ichart only for OSi where you are cheated.
TT doesn't pay for spaces or ExText doesn't
nm
Yeah, yeah, AND enjoy!
 
That doesn't fly - KS doesn't offshore
nm
He doesn't trust VR, or doesn't trust his MT to train it correctly?
Or perhaps his MT(s) has/have been filling his head with horror stories about VR and how it is a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Personally, I don't see any reason an M.D. would not trust a VR program, unless he's seen the products of a report edited by a less than competent MT who didn't do their editing job appropriately.
The best co. ever! Good work, good people, good pay, good bennies.
x
Yes there is! Good pay and good bonuses and good benefits.
Yeah - n,
.
Yeah! Take That!
I like OSi too!!!
Yeah let's go there.
x
yeah right.
come on, every time some MT posts this type of problem, there is always the same response back from KS. Like you don't think they have sent email after email and call after call trying to get things taken care of or get help? Please. You don't think that we have the number and haven't called a million times? This is all just for show.
Yeah, sure!!! Like we believe you!
TS
Yeah????!!!!!!!!!
I also am very happy with my employment at OSi. I think it is a great company, one that listens to the needs of their employees and does their best to accomodate. It is pitiful to read how so many bash OSi and other companies on this board and you don't even work for them. If you have in the past and have found employment elsewhere, move on and knock off the infernal complaints. If you are employed with the company you are complaining about, then find a new job. We don't need or want your constant bantering. And if you are still employed here, that tells us you obviously aren't good enough to get a job elsewhere.
Yeah. RUN, RUN, RUN,
There are much better jobs out there.
yeah but
I would be typing all night.
yeah,
well, you know.
Yeah for you!
Good to know there is life after MTing.
Yeah, I know what you mean
about the taxes and sure can't blame you there.
I hope you can reconnect and get the job with him, though. If more docs start to realize what's happening and leave the companies that do the outsourcing, that will send a huge message to these companies. Might also force them to treat their American employees better.
In the age of terrorism, I don't see how it CAN'T be a security issue to outsource medical transcription, especially to middle eastern countries. Think about it. Besides access to the obvious personal demographics of the patient, they also know which medications the patient is taking. With the way elderly people order medications from Canada, I can just imagine an elderly person getting an ad in the mail for the medication they're on at less than half the price, order it and wind up dead. It seems that large groups of Americans could be targeted and harmed based simply on their medical information. (Maybe my imagination is running wild, but I never could have imagined that anyone would think to use a plane as a missile to kill a large group of people, either.)
yeah, but . . .
what about all the employees of some of these companies who are being told to be patient while work returns to normal after the holidays, yet have been virtually w/o an income for weeks now. This shouldn't be happening consistently in the winter months, holidays or not. What rights do those people have as far as any compensation? They're being left hanging in the balance with no way to pay the bills and yet not being given the option of collecting unemployment benefits because they're still technically on the payroll. How far is this going to go before people stop accepting the obvious? It saddens me to no end to see companies treating their long-time loyal employees this way.
Yeah right. I just bet you do.

Oh yeah
I have been with a smaller MTSO (about 100 MTs) since leaving MQ. I love having the QA that I never got at MQ, but what bugs me is that when I send in a blank or a flag, they answer not only me, but everyone on the whole darn QA team (okay, there are only 4), plus the president of the company.
Now, come on, if I'm just asking for a second listen on a cc doc (new account), do you really need to copy the Prez on that one?
yeah
I guess that is average then. I was hoping to make more by now. My goal is to one day get my own accounts and start my own business
Yeah I know
Lack of communication seems to keep getting worse and worse. This is along with other issues I have I do not want to discuss on here. I just am trying to decide about some things. I used to love the flexibility but now even that is in question.
