RADIOLOGY TRANSCRIPTION
FT M-F/WE

This is the way the ad is listed. The FT M-F job was my job. The weekend job was the one the other Transcriptionist left in December (she graduated from nursing school).

This is copied directly from their ad in the nearest "major metropolitan newspaper".

It's mean of me, but imaging how much work the three remaining MTs must be trying to handle does give me a little bit of comfort. They wanted the office to themselves - well, by golly, they got it!

local newspaper
I just sent an article to my local newspaper asking them to use some of the things from this posting to hopefully make people aware of their personal info possibly being sent to India. It may be a small step, but like Lillybelle said, if we could get this started, maybe we can make a change.

Newspaper article
The Sunday paper in my area had an article on headphones and the 3 that were compared were Bose,Sennheiser, and Clear Harmony. They basically said that Sennheiser has the best quality of sound and blocks noise the best. They are all very expensive but if you go online to E-Bay there are new ones listed that are about half-price. I have been looking at the Sennheiser, but like you, I have a very small head. The ones I use now I bought at Radio Shack. They also have very competitive headphones. Good luck.

from canadian newspaper
I am sorry, I can't provide the link but it is a direct quote from a Canadian publication.

"Because the health care plan is regulated by the government, bureaucracy shows it's ugly head. Waiting lists are long and wait times for certain procedures are equally long. For instance, in New Brunswick, a person requiring heart a bypass procedure may wait for up to six months. A knee replacement in Ontario takes about the same. These waiting times are expected and those in need should prompt their doctors to be proactive in diagnosing the problems and gaining access to the waiting list at the earliest possible instance."

Okay, wanna wait six months for your CABG? You'd be dead. I do see that as a problem, don't you. I am sure there are Canadians who love it, just as I am certain there are those who don't. I would like to know where you got that 5% statistic from, though. I don't mean that as a smart aleck remark. I really would like to know if that is the case. Can you point me in a direction that would verify that?

not sure this will exactly help you, but there was an article in my local newspaper this a.m. sm
that was stating a local doc got in trouble by the board and in part of his requirements it was required for him to use a transcription/dictation service. part of what he got in trouble for was failure to have an H&P on file and proper documentation. it states - for one patient dr. so and so failed to document basic information, including an H&P and treated the patient with excess of 50 narcotic pain medication injections for headaches. yeah, way to go boards!!!!! i'm gonna contact them and see if they need my services, LOL!

couldn't find an English newspaper...sm
and was newly preggers......I ran around Marseille looking for the International Tribune which was an English newspaper (still is) and then did a scrapbook in tribute to John and I still have that.

They are still advertising the jobs on their website and in the newspaper

Quite a waste of money if they're downsizing. Oh, and did I mention - they just opened up a new clinic, which increased the work load by about one-third, and now they are building a second hospital?

Nope. Not downsizing.

Maybe searching internet and newspaper archives - sm
for any kind of stories related to identity theft resulting from offshore medical (or other) records is a start. Another angle would be to look for info. from editors on specific instances (Pt. privacy respected, of course!) where offshored or even US bargain-basement transcription came back with errors that could have caused injury or legal action.

GOT A RESPONSE ON THE LETTER TO OBAMA FROM 1 NEWSPAPER - Not Sure What to Do

It is just a small town paper, asking some general questions about outsourcing/offshoring, pay, types of businesses, etc. I told him I could not tell him what I actually do for a living or name my company. Can he find that out?

I also sent the letter to the Washington Post, Fox News, NY Times, Associates Press, 60 Minutes, and USA Today. I inserted in the letter about uncertain figures that by my calculation, the number of jobs offshored would be more or less the equivalent to the total population in 3 states in the U.S.

What will I do if they find out who I am and who I worked for? Can I be sued?

I read a local newspaper article about sm
a high school girl started making money at home by converting VCR to DVD. Her grandmother wanted to convert some family stuff, she found out what equipment needed, bought it for grand daughter and off she went. Posted ads on various websites and wants to go full time. Shoot I even thinking. Just have not googled yet to find out what equip. needed/costs etc.

I read in the newspaper that an online betting site had to shut down...
because there were many very large bets on Danielle winning. Supposedly people were tipped off that she won.

I agree that she shouldn't win. Go Terry!

It is so easy to post a letter on a newspaper editorial or magazine. Everybody write one.
If you have a story to tell - get busy. Go to news shows, magazines, newspapers. It is so easy. Talk about the MT business or about the whole offshore process and its cost to the U.S. Any and everything written only solidifies our total point of view. GO TO whitehouse.com for sure. Don't wait for others to carry this for you. Support Travelin MT's efforts on the company board!!!!
