I wanted Eric back. Something about that Kaysar I can't stand, but can't put my finger on it. I think he reminds me of a RUDE convenience store owner that I used to know here and I just could not stand him.

disappointed
My question is WHY the check problem? For crying out loud, don't they have multiple accts over multiple states? Aren't the accts paying us? Aren't you considered contractor status, so therein that is where your income comes from--the accts??? Try applying with Spheris. Can't guarantee there is work, but they are pretty nice to work for; editors, some entry level accts. This career is very frustrating! We work quite hard! Best wishes to you!
I'm just disappointed that
people who become MTs use nonsense like "alot" and sometimes "noone."

It's "a lot" and (other posters) "no one."

I think we should all know these are wrong. If you can't remember it when posting, are you sure you're remembering it in a medical report? Sorry, but these are pet peeves.
Disappointed...

I have been hearing about MT so frequently lately I thought I'd look into it. I just attended an MT seminar held by At Home Professions and was interested enough to come home and do some research. That research led me to this board. Unfortunately, rather than being inspired by my research into the MT field, I am disappointed and frustrated. The postings here are largely negative and lead a reader to believe that the MT field is 1) Full of schools/ programs that will scam you for your money without providing the training/education you truly need to do the job right and succeed, 2) Open to only a few elite or those lucky enough to become gainfully employed w/ a good company that will pay what your work is worth and 3) A field w/ an uncertain future.


Is there anybody willing to share their MT experience w/out all of the drama?


Just your experience. The good and the bad.


For a "newbie"... Is MT a good investment in my future?


Thanks.


 


 


Disappointed with Stedman's
If you mean the big purple "Medical Terms and Phrases" by Stedman's, I'd go with the other one.

I bought this and am rather disappointed with it and have not found it to be helpful on the job.
Disappointed with this field.
I feel the blame is squarely to be placed on our wonderful association. They  have ruined what used to be a good career to have. Now terrible pay, no raises, poor benefits, and you are expected to have perfect work with constantly changing rules so they can sell their book.
yes, you'll be disappointed

If you spend only $20 on a headset. That's like spending $50 on a video card for "super duper" video games.


Bottom line:  SR (speech recognition) is both expensive and time consuming. It's also not for everyone. You could say the same about anything, I suppose. Some people love Instant Text and others don't. Ditto for platforms. YMMV.


I'm not trying to sell the product, but I'm a tad  at so much negativity about the product.


I was disappointed too, especially that they expect me to believe that people who have been at each
other's throats for the last few seasons (mom and George, Keith and David, and now Claire and her new boyfriend) are suddenly going to have all of their relationships work out fine in the end.  I guess why they call it fiction!
Guess you were one of those disappointed folks (nt)

Anyone else really disappointed with the 2006 QLDB?

This latest version seems like a beta version.  Could it be more time consuming with all the clicking, scrolling, and tabs required to click on?  Even the new search feature stinks as it does not bring what you typed in to the top, it just leaves it on the bottom and you must scroll to bring it up.  This one is definitely NOT built for production.  Has anyone figured out how to import things from previous versions of their drug book into this one?  I cannot figure it out with this version and my e-mails to them for help have gone unanswered thus far.


Is it faster than paging through a book?  Yes.  Is it up to the standards of their previous QLDBs?  Not in my opinion and I have been very happy with the electronic version since 1999. 


shrug. disappointed but i know u are busy.
maybe the night time folks have more time. will check back.
