MTDaily was very slow.
Not much going on, so not worth my money. Why pay for a membership when there are so many other MT message boards around that are free.
FU on e-Tranz

I noticed today that e-Tranz has posted available MT  positions on Mtjobs.com.  I have sent the owner of Mtjobs.com several emails, along with several letters from other former MTs associated with this company, concering the latest unprofessionalism of e-Trans, i.e. bounced paychecks, inconsistent payroll practices, and Mtjobs still continues to post jobs for them.  Please be aware that not all the companies that post on Mtjobs.com are good companies to work for.  I am so ashamed of Mtjobs.com for their apparent noncaring attitude of MTs.  I have been an MT for a long time and have always looked at  Mtjobs  as the leading source of information concerning MT positions.  That will no longer be the case. 


I urge all of you to extensively investigate any company before you put yourself out on a limb.  There are some very good companies to work for, but then there are those companies who should not even be in business and who consistently break the law.  Be careful out there!!!!


E-Tranz, Inc.
This is a company from Georgia and they have contacted me, but after reading from dls about pay problems, I am leary.  Any further info available?  ANY info available for GOOD transcription companies?  I have over 3 decades of experience in every field and just want to get with someone good and where I can once again enjoy my job.  Thanks.  lsb in Florida
Run away from e-tranZ (GA)..sm

I see e-tranZ has a job posting on this site.  Please do not consider sending your resume to them!  Their checks are consistently late, and when they do come, they bounce.  Trying to get a replacement check is like pulling teeth.  I know this from experience.  I left several months ago and I'm still trying to get the money I am owed.  The owner of this company won't answer emails, and if on the rare occasion she does, they are demeaning and rude in nature.  She makes you feel like it was your fault that HER checks bounced.


There are too many good companies out there that are hiring.  Stay away from this one, please!


I'm done. Hello mtdaily, mtdesk. this is a joke, both of them.nm

I found some on mtdaily.com/mt1/samples.html nm

Are you sure you're not talking about e-Trans Plus? e-Tranz

e-Tranz does not offer benefits and have no employees, all ICs. 


The owner has a habit of not paying the NEW MTs whom she hires just to get back into TAT but then does not to pay them.  I was an MT for that company, and it was an awful and terribly stressful experience, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. When I would email her (at first) and practically plead with her to pay me, she shot back some very sadistic and unprofessional emails, sounding as if she was getting joy from what she was doing.  It was the worst experience I'd ever had with any MTSO.  She blocked my emails, and I couldn't ever reach her by phone. 


She ended up paying me eventually after 2 months had passed since that last invoice, but that was only after I informed her via a third party that I would definitely be paying her a visit in person for a little face-to-face, one-on-one "discussion" about our little problem.


Please, please don't ever work there, especially if you live paycheck to paycheck and need that money to survive each month.


OMG, anything to make another buck.
how ridiculous. I doubt any company will go with these types of changes, and I'm guessing some doctors will gripe as well. How to be lazy/sloppy, at a monthly charge - no thx. perhaps they can offshore that book.

Someone take up a collection for the ADHI and let them retire.
No, the buck stops with the doctor - sm
he/she is ultimately responsible, not the MT. If they started to require this many would leave MT is droves I suspect. Do you really think the MTs overseas get liability insurance?
WHY is MQ recruiting on MTJobs...
when people in Amherst have NO WORK??? What's up with THAT?

Feedback on B.I. (right now on MTjobs.com)?

Does anybody know anything bad or good about this company?  I am looking for a good MT employer.

It's the almighty $
You are right, Jenn. Most doctors do not want VR, they don't want to take the time to train on VR, and they don't want to have to correct their reports. They value a human MT.

It's the almighty dollar that has the last word. It's expensive to implement, but cheaper in the long run to use VR rather than human MTs. Administration is not concerned with the quality, only the expense. If it looks good on paper, it's a deal. VR is bundled with PACS in radiology settings - and all radiology facilities will eventually be using PACS as x-ray film has become obsolete. A digitized radiology dept. does not have to worry about huge files to store, processing equipment, darkrooms and developing chemicals/waste.

Teleradiology is here and medical facilities must keep up with the technology to provide their services. Rad MT positions will be hard to come by as facilities make the switch to digitized systems. For rad MTs, it isn't looking good down the road.
The buck stops with you (all of us). What confidentiality means is

that you/me, the MT, do not discuss the name and contents of a report with anyone outside the immediate realm of responsibility and only within a professional context. 


If you feel really uncomfortable with doing it and have the option of sending it back for someone else to do, that acceptable but not entirely necessary.


If you *have* to do a report on someone you know, do it, and put it out of your mind.  If you see that person, you cannot discuss anything about it with them, even if they ask.  The onus is upon us to keep.our.mouths.shut.  That is all that confidentiality entails.


 


I hear that all the time, just tell them to go the MTJOBS and SM
apply for any job they feel qualified for.
Almighty doctor
Actually...more likely the almighty insurance companies or to take it even further, our almighty govt. is to blame.

MTSO's in order to compete with offshore and with doctors cutting back and insurance companies cutting back, have had to lower what they charge doctors (or lose business to offshore), therefore they have to pay MTs less. It's a vicious cycle. It's happening in the tech industry, as well.

If we don't like it, we should think about how we VOTE, because that's the only power we have left at this point.
The almighty numbers
I totally agree with Patti. Who the heck do they think they are (AHDI)to change everything they feel like on a whim. It's all about the money for them and we all know that.
Nope..the almighty bottle came first with my EX

After 25 yrs, along with 4 before that of dating then he decides the bottle is more important....well it was & still is and I got outta there


Bottom line for EVERYTHING is the almighty

yeah, it's just that people will enter for something FREE, but if it costs a buck

Yeah, I earn 50k a year and I just bought a house for a buck!

Oh and I just got 25% of 28 million from a prince in Zimbabwe! 


 



 


Not MT related, but pet dog related. See message.
I have a 5 year old Maltese dog who has always been a great sleeper at night. He has always slept on my bed next to me and never budged all night. Last week he started to wake up shivering and panting in the early morning and could not settle back down and would just jump off the bed and go off somewhere else to sleep. Now he starts this shivering and panting as soon as the light goes off in the bedroom but instead of jumping off and going off on his own, he just stays there next to me and keeps sivering and panting and is unable to fall asleep. He's perfectly normal otherwise during the day and sleeps fine during the day, behaves normally and is eating and drinking normally. I called the vet and she thought he was having nightmares. But I'm not so sure. Last night when I went to bed and the light was on for about 15 minutes he was quiet and comfortable lying next to me. As soon as the light went off he started the shivering and the panting and could not go to sleep. Anywone gone throught this before? Should I be worried about his health?

You dare question the judgment of the almighty RN! How dare you!
Don't you know that RN's know everything and are the beginning and end all of all that's holy in the medical kingdom!?

But seriously, you have my sympathy, girl. Hang in there.

if mt paid 9, editor paid 4 or 5...how can company charge 14 and make it..sm

I know the going rate in our area is 14 cents per line.  As MTs most companies here pay us 8 or 9 cents a line.  Now add in the Editor rate at 4 or 5 per line..you are paying OUT more than you can charge a line.  How would companies stay in biz?


Unless all work is sent by the company overseas at pennies per line, this would not pay for a company.


just curious how this works out


But how much are the US EDs gonna be paid? Typically this work is paid at 2-3 cpl. nm
:+
You don't get paid an hourly rate you get paid by line - sm
so because of how you are paid (not an hourly rate) you don't get OT, especially if you are an IC.
I would move on. I think it is so unfair not to be paid for spaces! I think we should get paid

per keystroke, but that'll never happen.  I just think that these national companies are going to keep finding ways to cheat us.  I found a job working for a hospital as an employee, paid hourly plus incentive, and they let us expand everything!  Somebody's gonna have to kill me to make me give up this job.  I will never go back to the national's again.


I feel for you though.  I know that for us MTs those good jobs are few and far between and some have little choice but to work for the nationals.  I just happened to luck into the job I have now.  I just applied at the right time. 


Good luck to you whatever you decide.


If those companies paid a fair wage, and paid more
all came out equal, people wouldn't feel the need to try to make up the deficit by going for the good stuff. I actually prefer the harder, juicier reports. But I can't make a living doing only that, because the pay is not commensurate with the difficulty. So even though I prefer not to, sometimes I have to pick up some of the easier, more boring 'line-o-matic' reports just to make ends meet. Tell your MTSO to make it work their while, and MTs will stop taking all the easy work away that you obviously would prefer to keep for yourself.
You wont show UE being paid because it is employer paid -
the employee will never have to pay this.
Not MT-related (sorry).

Anyone know the official name for crime scene tape that is used by just ordinary people to rope areas off?  It says something else besides crime scene.  Need to buy some and trying to do a search at different stores, but you can imagine what I'm finding when I search for tape.


Thanks


Not MT related but --
What would you do?  I have a home I am selling thru a realtor.  This realtor listed the house and has personally shown in to no one (4+ weeks).  I have had people see the house thru the MLS, but I had to be here to show them because she was always busy or could not make it.  She had an open house last week, I live on a street that is about 3 blocks long, dead end at both ends, about 2 blocks off a main street - there were no signs posted at the main intersection, none at the next corner, directing them to the house - she put 1 sign up, in my front yard - needless to say no one showed up (she was also 20 minutes late for the open house).  She has also forgotten to call me when she makes an appt and I was taken totally by surprise when the possible buyer showed up at my door.  Maybe I am wrong but I don't think she is doing her job - any ideas or suggestions, am thinking about cancelling her contract already  (will cost me $250) because I feel I am doing everything myself and also because houses in this area usually sell within 2-3 weeks of going on the market.  Any suggestions or ideas?  Thanks.
are we related?! lol
i have a SIL exactly like that!!  
non-MT related but
do cats go off to die alone? I had a cat which has disappeared. It's been about 2 weeks now since I've seen him. He did used to drink out of the toilet (gross, I know) and I'm wondering if this made him sick. Otherwise he seemed okay. Just wondering if this has happened to any of you.
Just MT-related?

My divorce is final!!!!! :)


What is up with you? Are you related to Frank?

Frank knows that.  What a sourpus.


Can't be related to MQ lawsuit

My ipay statement said is was for a DEP adjustment, but the majority of the lines in question were done on the various old platforms, Medwrite, Enterprise, etc...remember it goes back to 1998.


I got the ipay notice but no check or letter yet.  I have direct deposit but nothing in there either


Not MT related, but need advice.

Is it inappropriate to wear black to a wedding? 


If so, what is appropriate? 



Not MT-related but I must vent

When a hurricane is headed toward a given vicinity, I thought the drill was have plenty of water and food for at least 3 days for each person in the home.  You'd think Floridians would know this better than anyone.  I'm a Floridian myself.  Fortunately my area was not affected by Wilma, but guess what?  I STILL have supplies stocked.  I LIVE IN FLORIDA for heaven's sake!


As soon as the wind let up, people were forming lines... and they expected water and ice to magically appear on every street corner.


Granted, the elderly and poor may not be as equipped to prepare like the able-bodied and financially secure, but these are the ones and the ONLY ones who should have been needing help at this early stage.  Did you see the caliber of cars in those lines?  Many were new, nice, and expensive.  No excuse.  I'm sorry.


It's bad enough that many are going to go without power for weeks.  Wouldn't it have nice been if local, state, and federal governments had a couple days to position themselves in an organized manner?  Or be able to provide for the poor and elderly in a more expidient manner rather than servicing a gaggle of people? This would have been hard even under the best conditions, but at least possible had more citizens cooperated by heeding recommendations to be prepared.


Thanks for letting me vent...


Maybe not related to homeschooling, but...
whatever happend to kids just going outside to PLAY???  I don't think these structured lessons and sports are quite the same thing.  Kids are so micro managed anymore that they wouldn't know how to go outside with the kid next door and just climb a tree.  If they did, they'd have to wear a helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and carry a cell phone to call for help once they got up there.  I guess being a kid in the 1960s was just so different.  We went to school, made our friends, lost our friends, read at our grade level (and that was OKAY), and for the most part we're smart successful people.  Oh well, off my soap box.
are we related RadGuy??? nm

Not housekeeping related but why would you be

I have a QA related question
Concerning my new job, which I started about two weeks ago: My QA, so far, has only given me feedback twice. When one of the errors was over misspelling the name of a local clinic, I asked her if she could tell me where I might find this information. I have yet to get a response from her. Another error was misspelling a clinic docs name (not from the hospital I am transcribing). I asked her again with no response. Am I asking the wrong person? Should I be asking HR instead?
Thank you!
Not mt related but need info
on drug and alcohol addiction intervention - my sister is doing one Wednesday night at church for both her husband and her 23 year old daughter and I would like to know what to expect.  I think the husband is so far gone nothing will help.  The daughter is into alcohol and recently got into meth, has a 2 year old and am terrified of what is going to happen to her if she does not get help, she went into rehab but they only kept her 3 days and now is going to 5, 8-hour days of therapy.  Her and her mom are always at each other, do not get along (mother is also bipolar),  Any ideas as to what I can expect?  Any information would be greatly appreciated.
RE: totally not MT related
What a childish attitude. The woman is not seeing your husband, nor is she interested as per your post, so why would it upset you? Your best option would be to put it out of your mind and consider placing your anger at something more important.
