Love that angular jaw!!!

Isn't it considered a breach of contract for them to state certain things in their job ad and training session but not follow through on those certain things?  I heard such great things about this company.  The reality is just not what I was told.  The account is easy and I got to pick my own schedule.  Those are about the only positives.

Certain things about this company are so much worse than anything I ever complained about.  I can't go into details or they'll know who I am.  I know they lurk on this board because that's how I got the job to begin with.  The office staff is so short-tempered and rude.  They pass the buck and blame everyone else for everything.  We get daily group e-mails ranting about quality and production but we were dropped into the job with no account specs or QA feedback.  You follow the BOS, then you get chewed out for not psychically determining account style preferences that weren't provided to begin with.  It's impossible to get decent lines there due to the lousy platform, daily faxes, and patient lists to enter MR info from.  It takes 20 minutes each morning to weed through emails and download faxes.  They run out of work all the time.

I haven't been able to sleep for a week now.  I'm feeling really depressed.  I told myself this would be my last MT job ever or I'd get out of the field because I've been reamed over too many times.  Christmas is less than a month away.  I can't even find another job.  I can't just quit either with a mortgage to pay and their contract I was dumb enough to sign.  Why would people say this company is so great if it's not?  I can't be the only one having problems with them.

The doctor billed you $500, but his insurance reimbursement is approximately 150 to 200 per case.  They don't get paid for the PE before this or the f/u visit to discuss results.  They cannot do 20 of these per day, well no a doctor that you would want treating your mother.  There are still office costs while they are over in the hospital doing procedures. Some office expenses run them 5000/day for help, equipment, rent, malpractice, etc.

Believe me, this doctor is not getting rich doing colonoscopies.

I'm so disgusted and discouraged.  I've had three interviews in the last week, about three more in the last month, and ALL of the recruiters I spoke with had absolutely NO clue.  After listening to their canned speech about their company, they invite my questions.  My main concerns are the platform, how a line is defined (with or without spaces), headers and footers included, progam compatible with Expander that I have (IT or Shorthand), do they take out MY state taxes, (some don't), how is PTO paid, and a few more, but for each interview, but the time I got to this point in my list of questions, I'm totally disgusted because the recruiters cannot or won't answer my questions.(They are good about skirting the major points of things).  They have to contact someone else, who is not available at this time, etc...and will get back to me - yea, right.  WHAT is wrong with these people?  Can't they answer simple questions?  I don't feel that my list of questions is that outrageous, do you?  Am I out of line for even asking these things?   I've been burned too many times to agree to a job without asking these, and quite a few more questions, but can't get past first base with these recruiters.  Are they so far removed from the actual transcription aspect of their companies that they can't find these things out beforehand and be ready for an appplicant's basic questions?  The recruiter makes the first impression for a company, and if they are so far out in left field, what is the rest of the company like?   ANYONE else have this experience?

I have to admit that not everyone I've interviewed with knows what "CMT" stands for, but when I've explained it (the continuing education part is the point I stress), it is usually received well by the interviewer.  Employers want to know that you care enough to make sure you stay educated enough in your field.

I'm not knocking anyone who chooses NOT to become certified, and I've certainly seen my share of people who are certified who are crappy MTs.  But, I've seen a lot of crappy doctors, too, and they still have their certification in their area of specialty. 

To me, a CMT just means that you care enough to want to align yourself with a professional organization, stay updated in the field by continuing education, etc.  Does it guarantee someone that you are an awesome MT or employee?  Certainly not, and there are plenty of non-CMT MTs who keep themselves educated and up to date in the field, but they can't prove it.  When you are a CMT, you have to get the continuing education credits in order to keep your CMT, and you have proof to a prospective employer that you've done that education.  That's why it is important to me. 

CYBERSLAPS MYSELF!!!   THWACK!!!  *lol*

Apparently mine have more than one because I have one dictator who likes to use the following phrase:  Patient was told that he might have death and loss of current life. 

You are so right.  Everything is going up but our wages and it's happening all over.  It is time for everyone to get their finances in order.  We are all going to have to tighten our belts and get our finances in order and get rid of credit cards! 

not surprised  guess I should really go read the story but if no details

of this person first I wonder if she really exists and if so and if they

can't brag on her situation, why can't they?

it should have been gwendolyn gopp from Op, Alabama who has worked for MQ

for 5 years or something like that.  show a picture, show us her co-workers, show

us.
