Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

I'm not preaching. And anyone who cares is still paying attention. SM

If you don't care, then you'll be without a job soon enough.  The rest of us will try elevate medical transcription while you work for pennies and compete with the Indians.

I think you are preaching to the moon.
This subject is just as bad as politics and religion. Good for you, you don't eat meat. As for me, I think nothing tastes better than a nice big juicy steak! Yum, yum!
Helping is one thing. Preaching is another.

What are you paying your MTs? If you're only paying 7 or 8 cpl

and expecting extremely experienced MTs, forget it. You're not going to get it.  If, however, you're willing to pay 9 or more cpl then you will find what you're looking for. There ARE experienced MTs out there who will work their fingers to the bone IF they are compensated well and treated with respect.


ATT- I was paying $320 for 7000 minutes, I am now paying $175 for 5000 minutes in CA. nm

You pay 100% attention to work while SM
you are working and get someone to care for the baby while you are working.  Same when it gets bigger.
Pay attention to the above post...sm
This lady knows what she is talking about....not that the others don't. When you allow the Lord to have reign over your life and let Him love you, things do turn around in ways we could never imagine in our own right. I wish I had realized this 8 years ago, but sadly I did not.

I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me. Philippians 4:13
And if you pay attention to all of her postings
strange
I should have paid attention,,,,

I got approached about possibly doing the transcription for a local doctor office - 4 doctors.  I have DSS player and they have used DSS system before, but how would I get the files from their computer to my computer.  Could they load them into a folder and then winzip them and sent to me? Is there an easier way?


I know this was discussed before. I had no idea then I might get this opportunity, so I didnt pay much attention to the post. 


ATTENTION TYPISTS!!!!
Back in the 1980s there was a doctor in California who used to start each dictation with the command, "ATTENTION TYPIST."  He was a real peach.  He had no friends in the transcription department, I can assure you.  Later on, when I graduated from college and was an RN he had the gall to call up the nursing station and demand that one of us "girls" get over across the street to his office as one of the patients we had cared for in the hospital the previous week had gone over to his office for an "office visit" (that was because he was so pompous that he did not wish to see that poor patient in the hospital). The patient while in his office  "defecated" on his carpet and he felt that was our "job" to clean up after incontinent patients even if they were in HIS office.   I swear this is true.  We told him he should call a cleaning service.  He blew a gasket.   I guess it could have been worse if we had the Chimpanzee guy.  I think I would have knocked him in the head after I sued him for harassment.  I saw down further where someone hoped he was a now a patient.  Me too and I hope he is constipated and no one gives him a stool softener.  I hope when he rides in the ambulance from the acute care to the rest home that he overhears the ambulance attendants refer to their call as a "lizard run."  I hope someone puts cornflakes in his bed.  I can't stand pomposity!  I hope he is roommates with "Attention Typist" - they might actually understand each other.   
Attention Administrator

When everything hit the boards a few days back, you (well, whoever is running the board these days) stated that if anyone had a problem and wanted to leave this board, send a message and write "unsubscribe" in the message line.


I did that and just did a test post to see if you unscribed my email address.


You haven't.


I think everyone here is watching your actions and I expect you to unscribe me. I am posting this in public as you failed to respond to a private email.

Kindly delete any of my posts that you feel the urge to edit.  I would rather you delete than skew the content and purpose of my communication caused by your editing.  Of course, it is not necessary for me to participate on these forums at all.
hang in there, pay attention
Just hang in there.  Pay special attention to every report, especially the errors you have done in the past, and follow your account specifics exactly (keep a copy next to you)  Practice makes perfect. 
Someone called it to my attention
that I should use the term offshoring instead of outsourcing. We use the word outsourcing at my hospital so this didn't even occur to me. So just wanted to address this:) thanks again!
B. No and E. Who cares. nm

No and Who Cares.

Who cares really...I mean is this.....
really important?  I can tell you that my life is no different now than before.  I agree with the other poster...if it will pay off the mortgage or make a payment then I will care, otherwise, NO!
who cares, he is...

Who really cares, Jay? sm
Are you the same Jay who used to be so vocal AGAINST the AAMT and offshoring and you are now their biggest fan?  Well, that says a lot about you, doesn't it?  Cheerleader #1!!!  The AAMT failed it's biggest test.  Defending and protecting the AMERICAN MT.  Then, let's have the annual convention in Hawaii, when a lot of us, Jay, are making a lot less money than we used to. We don't have the money to go to Hawaii, Jay.  Get the picture?  At any rate, whatever floats your boat.  The AAMT is bogus.  Maasalamah!!!
Nobody cares who the MVP is..
Take this nonsense somewhere else...PLEASE!
yea, right...NOT...he cares nothing about u...nm

Who cares how old it was
it is STILL happening!!!! That's the point. You just don't get it, do you. Well, you never will then. Good bye! Have to go!!!
Maybe it's not where OP is from. Who cares
x
Nobody but us cares.

And if nobody cares.... sm
Why should you? :D
People, please pay attention. This isn't just one person
that had a personalty conflict of whatever.  Everyday there is someone else with a valid issue. 
no problems. you must learn to pay attention as you go along. once is enough.
btw, if it is a very difficult person to do i will listen twice in the course of transcription and then flag it for QA.
sounds like he needs attention and is afraid

Good for you. That's really all we can do is call their attention to it.
nm
I posted this to get the administrator's attention
Thank you.
Attention QA people - PLEASE READ :)
I'm fed up with the company I work for.  Can any of you who are HAPPY with your QA job tell me what company you work for?  I have been looking but it's hard to know which companies offer :1) Decent pay;  2) A relatively flexible schedule; and, very important 3) Appreciation!  I would like to find a smaller company as I work for a very LARGE national company (can you guess who? lol) - I'm sick of feeling ignored and invisible and would like to work for a smaller to medium sized company that actually values its employees.  Please, don't say you can't tell me who you work for - I really need some guidance here!  Thanks. 
Awwww. She just loves you and wants some attention. sm
I have one cat in particular who always hits the keys.  When I see her coming, I have to roll my keyboard drawer back under the desk or my transcription will look like this or get signed off prematurely.  zzzz zzzz zzzz zzz zzz zzzzz zzz zzzx xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxx
I think she's a dork who desperately needs attention
x
Oh, geez. This is a troll! LOL Pay no attention!!
LOL
No - don't give it up - just keep going. Pay attention to their style and what they want.
You will do fine. Stop beating yourself up. Every company and every account may have a different style they follow. You should have account specifics - just review those and follow their guidelines.
The nastiness had some attention on other forums, and seems to (SM)
have toned down. Good Luck! Small steps add up to big things. And, "Well-behaved women rarely make history."
who pays attention to those initials anyway?

But I still know what you mean.  I sometimes type things that I don't agree with.  But his opinions, his take, I am just the MT. 


ATTENTION EMDAT USERS!!!...
If you use EMDAT, you may not have to purchase one of the Start Stop pedals that they say you have to.  When you are ready to sign onto InScribe, there is an options box, click on that and hopefully you will see the system that you already have.  If not, I suggest you load express scribe and then you can use it.  Just thought somebody out there would find this info helpful.  Hope it helps someone.
awwww who CARES?????
That person probably has 10 kids of their own.  Who cares????  If you can support 'em pop 'em out like a friggin rabbit for all I care.  That poster just needs some lemonade and then they will be happy, happy, happy.  Do you remember the happy, happy, happy poster?
Dont believe me, who cares?
How silly you are.  Dont believe me, I dont care.  MQ has been sold.  I will post again once you get the news from MQ.  I will post *I told ya so*.
I do acute cares and can do 250...
not sure what you mean by copy and paste. I have text Expanders and "normals" that I use that really help, they are built into Chartscript or it may be called SoftWeb and you can add all the shortcuts you want. I am trying to learn the abcdz system of short cutting.
Who cares if you will be perceived
as a troublemaker?  There are as many of us involved in the association as you who are disgusted with the status quo and my suggestion is that you ride it out and run for office and move the problem folks to the back burner.  Believe me, it can be done.  Women, unfortunately, allow themselves to be herded and if you don't like that notion then you have to stay and do something about it.  Things don't make sense if you don't make them make sense.  If your state organization is running amuck .. report them to Modesto .. talk to Peter Preziosi directly and tell him straight out that you want action.  I think you would be very happy you chose to talk to him.
Who cares what solicitors think!
And if they think you are cranky, then maybe they won't have the nerve to stop by!! Solicitors are so annoying!!! I say, get a sign, "NO SOLICITING!"
who even cares anymore what the BOS says?
not me!
Ok. GET A LIFE! Nobody cares about JLG.

Oh brother. Who cares?

im sorry, you think Obama cares about MTs?
yea, right. im sure all the politicians do, but newsflash Obama as a president is NOT healthy for small businesses

bottom l ine there needs to be a standardized MT industry, but nobody steps up to the plate to create it. The general public has no idea you think? You think they'd like it if their medical records were being done overseas? not so sure most would... they just dont KNOW it. who fights for us anyway?
No one really cares what your typing.

Don't you get it and even if they did they wouldn't know what they are reading anyway.  Furthermore, there is something called minimize!!! It's on your screen, check it out some time, it actually minimizes the screen so no one can read your important secret information. 


It amazes me how people can jump on here and just judge away and sit back and think they are just so above everyone else.  No one cares, get it?
