Phoenix MedCom
I have been with this company as an IC since they started over 5 years ago and before that I worked with these same owners at another company which was bought out by Medquist for over 6 years. Phoenix Medcom is a great place if you are loking for an IC position.

Phoenix MedCom is currently looking for experienced acute care tx. Visit www.phoenixmedcom.com and fill out an application. Great company to work for
Phoenix Medcom
I haven't ever heard of this company before but they had a posting in the job bank. I'm wondering if they are worth my time applying for. I have a job, just looking for extra to do. Anyone's experience would be appreciated. Thx!
Phoenix MedCom
The co is Phoenix MedCom
I'm referring to Phoenix Medcom
They sent me a lot of info when I inquired & were very specific: they pay per 65-character line, with headers & footers, no spaces.
Overwhelmingly, Amphion, Phoenix Medcom & MDI-MD (*not MDI-FL)
Good luck!
Would that be the one in Phoenix? nm

Phoenix
They don't pay for spaces. I've tried explaining to my thumbs why the work they do has no value in certain environments, but they refuse to understand & in general continue to prevent me from applying to a company that I've otherwise heard pretty good things about. If your thumbs are happy working for nothing, I'd say go for it.
Phoenix
I would recommend ANY company to work for - except Phoenix. Their website is bogus - nobody makes $25 an hour. They'll toss you a book to hook up your computer - and when you're having questions - you'll get an attitude when you ask for help. Horrible, horrible!
Phoenix
I have been with Phoenix MedCom for 1 year now and they are a great company. I work on an internet account that does not pay for spaces. We have a new platform with another account and this does pay for spaces. I tried both platforms and it works out to exact amount of pay, 10 cents without spaces and 8 cents with spaces. DG
University of Phoenix
I did some checking several years ago and I found from my research that University of Phoenix was the one with the most prestige as far as on-line degrees. You have to be careful, because some of the places offering these are not worth the paper they are printed on, to an employer. But, I found that UOP actually is the *best* of the on-line universities. I didn't enroll, but I seriously considered it. It is extremely expensive and I've heard from someone I know who was a student with UOP, that it is challenging (she worked a full-time job in addition to her classes), but she really loved it. Unfortunately, I've lost touch with her now and I have no idea if she ever finished and got her degree.
Re: University of Phoenix
To the woman whose husband is a student there: Racism is corrosive. It will ruin your heart and your soul. Please look into your heart and see what is behind all of this hatred. Hate is never the answer.
University of Phoenix!!! LOL
Duh- yeah!

I'm in the metro Phoenix area and we were in the mid 20s last night. That's cold for us!!...
I had to cover my frost sensitive plants with sheets.
No way. Univ. of Phoenix is considered a joke by employers!
http://uopsucks.com/negletters.html
The best way to obtain an on-line degree is to attend an accredited university that was already well-known for its academic program way before the internet was invented.
Check out University of Massachusetts, Temple University in Philadelphia, University of Minnesota.
The fly-by-nights like U. of Phoenix are the equivalent to the crap that used to advertise "degrees" on the back of matchbook covers and have no credibility in educational and career circles.
Seriously, stick with an accredited, well-known school, not some bogus piece of crap like that.
You get what you pay for.

Only 90 degrees? It was 112 in Phoenix yesterday, supposed to be hotter today.

how could it not happen?
and how could we have stopped accepting ESL's? I dont know about you but I have worked as an MT for many years and there is no way we could have stopped it. First of all, doctors come from all over the world, medicine is a universal language with many different accents..that is just the way it is. Most doctors I have worked with have accents. That is part of the job, learning ESL doctors. I personally dont want any work sent overseas, even the mumblers, ESL's, etc.
This used to happen to me
This used to happen to me back in the 1970s..When I told my doctor, he said it was just that I woke up before my body was able to start producing my chemistries and such fast enough..So I was suspended, if you will, for a few seconds, which felt to me like minutes..I can remember waking up in my mind but my body would not move and I would panic thinking I have to get up..move arm, move leg, get up!! I believe totally in the paranormal and spiritual word. I have had experiences in the spiritual world both with family who have passed, animals who have passed and just researching it myself..but..hmmmm..I will have to research what you post about the not waking experience..I tell you, it is quite a frightening experience. P.S.: I love Sylvia Browne..I have gone to three of her seminars in Los Angeles..
Does this every happen to anyone besides me? (please SM)
After transcribing for lengthy periods of time, do you feel irritable? Kinda like you want to run to the nearest window and jump out cause you feel all this inner energy but have to sit in a chair and type and it is driving you nuts?
I probably need to takes walks or do something physical but am working 8-10 hours a day.
Just wondering if I am going nuts or what. It is rather unnerving, this feeling. Maybe it is menopausal as I am nearing that age, also. Can anyone identify with this strange feeling?
Where did this happen?

Don't ever think it cannot happen to you. You are in
zz
this always does not happen
That is not true. There are too many people working and not enough work. They will always tell you the same thing; it is slow during the holidays, it is slow during the summer, it is slow in the fall, the holidays are coming, etc. there is a storm outside, anything to just shut us up. They just think we are stupid.
changes happen everywhere (sm)
I used to work for another company that has since changed its name and merged with another company. We had so many changes in the 2 short years I was there, enough to make your head spin. Most of the time they were changes not to the advantage of many, or they made it more difficult to keep up with the changes.
Having had this happen to me I am
going to tell you that you have to get a restraining order on him both personally and for a distance that includes your home and such. Then go to the phone and satellite people as well. If you give the phone people access they can monitor but you have to be willing to prosecute when they hit the nail on the head. I suspect it may well be the same with your satellite folks.
My husband had passed away and I got involved with someone who smelled money .. being an idiot I fell for all the honey/dearie stuff and it cost me money and it cost me my home and damned near my life .. never mind my self esteem. You had better come clean with your family and get their help because it is misery alone and that is where I was save for a few friends who almost did not believe me.
I never thought I would see the end of it .. but I am here alive and kicking and believe me it is a good lesson to learn. I am recovering slowly and have days I could probably commit murder yet, but first start with your computer and have it reformatted, get it cleaned up and then scan it every damned day if necessary.
Never had this happen (sm)
but common sense says she was scammed. Why would you have to pay to get a grant? Sounds fishy to me.
I have had this happen before...
and was told that it can just sometimes "happen". Sometimes the test can be done wrong, etc. Hopefully in your case, that will be it. In my case they did a repeat PAP smear, and everything was A-OK. Try not to worry and stress too much.
Anybody ever have this happen?
It seems that the owners to the company I've done work for over the past week have simply disappeared. I cannot contact them via phone or e-mail. Has this ever happened to anyone here? They could be on vacation, I guess? There's no work posted since Friday on the FTP site either. Weird, huh?
I had that happen too
I use the Olympus pedal and had never had any problems, until one day . . .
Anyway, I unplugged it and plugged it back in and that worked, but now it happens all the time (VERY irritating). For me, I think that it may have to do with playing .wav files (vs. the .dss Olympus-recorded files) because it seems to happen with the .dss files only when I have been transcribing .wav files and then switch, but with the .wav files it may happen even if I walk away for a while and my computer "goes to sleep".
I have had this happen too
and it mostly happens when using my doc's templates. These templates were originally done in Word Perfect and altered to be compatible with MS Word. I think it has something to do with that, but I don't know how to correct it, other than to get new templates.
How did that happen??? Should have been

I have had that happen, but
like you said it always goes away pretty quick. This hot tea is really helping, I am feeling it less and less. Whew!!!
I Had Something Like That Happen
I was supposed to be on review for 5 days and I was still on review after 2 weeks. My accuracy was 99.6%, so I wrote the guy above my supervisor and told him I'd been on the 5-day review for 2 weeks. He apologized and the next day, I received an e-mail telling me I was off review, had 100% accuracy now, and was doing great.
I would say that he just forgot. The guy was not upset I contacted him, and I've had DSP (direct submission privileges) since.
Amanda, RMT 
Where in MO did this happen??...nm

Had that happen to me once as well
The company took a 15% pay cut on all employees - including the CEO and board officers, although they did get to keep their hefty yearly bonuses that the employees did not get. I stayed a year on the promise of it being given back, then left. That was 12 years ago. I have a friend who still works there and she is still waiting....
OMG, I cannot believe this would happen.....
If you watch all of the news, a lot of parents leave their children in their vehicles all the time "just to run into the store long enough to get" blah, blah, blah and the vehicle is left with the keys, child sleeping in the back and all stolen. So what, pray tell, are you talking about??? Stupidness can happen everywhere and it does. Sounds like, duh, I didn’t know it would happen in my community.....
Anyone had this happen to you?
Yesterday, I gave my notice to the company I have been IC'ing for the last 14 months because I found a job that pays more and pays weekly by direct deposit. My boss acted like I committed a crime and has been a total jerk ever since. This is not the first he has acted like a jerk. Anytime he has a bad day, he takes it out on his transcriptionists and treats us like crap. I am just really tired of it and needed a change. So now, he is not communicating with me or sending me any work. Have any of you ever had an experience like this?
This is exactly what can happen when you
network. Let everyone you meet know that you are a medical Transcriptionist and love your job. These are the kinds of situations that land you your own accounts. Good luck. 
something has to happen first
We should be concerned and most of are very concerned about data transferred overseas, but until something happens, something bad, something with a direct link, no media attention of substance will be directed towards it...and economic deals are first and foremost, security second.
While I would like to see that happen, too,
The bottomline is cost. By paying for a service to come in and handle the transcription, the hospital frees up valuable office space, has no asset investments to upkeep or even purchases to make, does not have to payroll employees and all the benefits and SS taxes, etc. Having employees is very expensive.
Hospitals have got to cut costs to continue providing services. Obviously, the less they pay out for running the business, the more funds are freed up for investing back into the facility.
Transcription services (small or large or nationals) offer that solution.
This used to happen to me using
a different program, and the other MT I was working with told me about hitting some combination to turn it off. I think it was CTRL shift period or ALT shift period.
Does this ring any bells with anybody else?
That used to happen to me, until one day I said no. SM
I had just gotten back from a plane trip out of state to my father's funeral! The response to my answer no was one of shock. I no longer work for that company, but I think it was just the account manager's personality, a bit frantic.
had this happen
Several times and spoke to Dictaphone - they went in - deleted some logs, but still happens. Then when I do not make my count, I do not want to hear it - now I log on an occasionally will get the first minute of a transcription and the player stops responding. I love the program, but becoming a pain in the butt. I thought it was me lol, told no one else had this problem.
net with never happen without
 - don't you read posts? Obviously, net needs an IT person or net would be up and running by now. Oh that's right, she needs money too! Maybe she sent the money already sent to her to her new boyfriend overseas. Good luck to her! But, I think this forum will be just fine! 
You must like it here or you wouldn't have posted! This site has never been All-American, and so what if it wasn't then and/or isn't now! Whatever floats your boat! I like it here; I don't mind it at all!
What do you think will happen when the MT
finally trains the VR so well that it nearly starts to churn out 100% accuracy? Do you think your MT editing job will still be needed? If this takes place, and there is a good possibility it will, how much do you think they will want to pay then? I am afraid that the MT's wages will even worsen in time with improved VR accuracy, which is unbelievably sad to predict.
I have never had that happen to me.

That is just not going to happen...
some of these doctors have been dictating like this forever and they are not going to change...part of life I guess
