Convince to go locally
Anyone have any good answers to this question:
Why should I (physician) let you to do my dictation(local person) VS hiring a National Company to do? Any help would be appreciated. Trying to prove to Dr to choose me instead of the leech-like Nationals that are only out for themselves and taking advantage of this profession that once was valued before they came along and started slave labor.
Convince to go locally
Are you a physician looking for someone to do your trascription? If I were you, I would go locally if you want quality.
Work locally so it's different
I work for a nephrology office and I'm assigned to five doctor's. I do their work in the 8 hours that I have to put in each day. If the doctors (the ones I work for) all have the day off (and it's happened), then I don't have to work at all. That's my favorite part. LOL.
Been offered a job locally....sm
the pay is 0.06/line and includes all characters, spaces etc. Says that this amounts to about 0.09/line in the end ??
I've done all 3 x10 + PT employee locally

Unless you are working locally, where you live
has nothing to do with what you make. National MTSOs have their own pay scales, everyone is different.
Sounds like an account I work on locally
can ya try to focus on ONE thing. I know I would NEVER go to this doctor. He's not sure if he did a colonoscopy or an endoscopy??? Scary.
I bought a Dell because I got a better deal than buying locally.
I got the computer, Windows XP, WordPerfect, other software, a photo printer and a digital camera shipped to my door for $398. However, I worked as a computer technician for several years, so I know I can add components, fix it, or upgrade as needed. I don't like the fact that Dell offshores so many jobs, because they totally forced technical pay rates down, laid off thousands of American workers, and forced computer prices down. However, I figured they'd be losing money on this deal if I just bought their basic system on sale with nothing added. Some guy from India called wanting to sell me an extended warranty and service plan. I told him NO because I can do all of that myself, as well as working any job at their company. I didn't want to buy locally because most of the local computer stores are staffed by idiots. There's a high rate of bankruptcy and computer stores going out of business here, then they won't honor their warranties.
I got my computer locally so as not to deal with Dell and Fed Ex etc. I have a flat panel and I
think it is okay but not as clear as the regular monitors. I think if you pay a fortune for an LCD you get great clearness but with the 3 or 400 dollar ones it is adequate. I live in PA also. I got it because it is better for your eyes.
If you decide to pursue your own accounts/doctors locally, how/what software sm
do you use for internet transcription. Do not want to pick up work as it may be several hospital versus one facility. Where do you buy software like this or does the hospital provide this? Unsure, new venture for me.
I went to the Red Cross to volunteer locally and was told that I needed to apply to the state for a
background check, which will take from 2 weeks to a month to get back. I understand red tape as well as the next person, but is this really necessary? They are asked for people to help load trucks and pack and sort supplies right now, but only from people who are already in "the system." I guess I'll go another route and go to one of the local churches and volunteer, without the red tape.
When buying a new computer would you use a company locally that builds new computers or go with Dell
or a large outfit like that. This local company has been around awhile. Not sure what to do about buying a new computer that is going to be compatible with just about all MT jobs.
