I posted this in response to
post below which has now been removed. Trolls do seem to show up on Fridays for some reason.
Why? Because no one posted a response?
There was a response posted on this site--sm
last week saying the resume posting site was being overhauled and it would be back up soon. Guess it is not done yet.
Has anyone posted a resume lately and gotten a decent response that way. nm
:
I just posted a response here and WHY was it deleted? It was not insulting
I was just asking why everyone seems to be so unkind as this person does and just asked for moderators. The nasty posts should be deleted, not questions pertaining to that. Makes no sense to me.
Sorry - posted on wrong forum -nm

SPOT?
.
HIT it on the spot.
Thanks so much! You answered alot of my concerns.
Greatly appreciated!
I like the spot questions
I'm not sure why you freeze up? Pretend you are transcribing. Don't you have to answer these same questions on the fly every day? I know sometimes it's something like a drug name that I've relied on my expansion software to memorize for me, but even then, I can get the other 13, 14, or 15 questions right. I'm a transcriptionist. It's what I do. Same with you. Take a deep breath and do your best. A heck of a lot more fun than taking one more , egggadds, on-line test.
I correct it on the spot...
By doing so, it may hurt productivity, but the way I look at it is that productivity ain't worth a thing if the transcript isn't accurate, and by waiting to correct it, I may forget to do so. Of course, the software I use will not let me send a transcript until it has been completely spell checked, so that helps, too!
I do! And there was always a sandy spot on it sm
that would tear through the paper, and I'd have to start over. We weren't allowed to use White-Out or corrasable (sp) paper then.
If you find a spot for just OPs
I want to be invited too! Those are my moneymakers, but unfortunately I don't get them as often as I like!
Thanks, I wasn't sure if I was in the right spot
.
and how do you spot a liar??
just wondering. I have a bridge for sale.
This post is spot on.
It has been my experience in-house in my moderately large urban area and with a service that VR will always need editors and is no threat to good MTs. It is absolutely EMR. In my area, many 4-10-doctor clinics now use EMR. They DON'T use MTs anymore. But some still dictate. I think in 5 years, it will be very hard for a newbie to find work.
Boy oh boy, have you ever hit on a sore spot with me! -(sm)
I'm up against the same thing with that da**ed BOS. Every other day, it's something. Put a dash between words. Don't put a dash between words. And then each account varies from the BOS in its own unique and utterly ridiculous ways. Frequently the BOS goes against what's correct punctuation and writing style.
This whole BOS cow-pucky is keeping a lot of people busy, and in all the wrong ways. We're so busy worrying about the absurd minutia that BOS tells us is Law, that it's harder and harder to get a decent day's worth of transcribing done.
If MT co's want to use the BOS, then they should tell their clients that that's the standard they're going to be using. But no, every account, even every DOCTOR, wants it their way. I have no problem with typing every account and every doctor their way, but then I sure don't want QA flooding my inbox with marked-up reports, telling me I've done it wrong.
I truly believe that the whole purpose of BOS (besides making couple of shady characters very, very wealthy, is to further justify paying us less and eventually driving American MT's entirely out of the field. An MT can be very experienced, accurate, and fast, but if you keep playing the shell-game with the account specifications, and changing them up every other day, no one on earth is going to be able to keep up with all that and maintain a high QA score.
And the bottom line? Since WHEN does it matter to patient care (which is SUPPOSED to be the bottom line in the medical industry) whether you spell out numbers below 10, or type them in numerals? Since when does it matter if the date is March 14 or 3/14? It DOESN'T! When the doctors check our reports to sign, or before going into surgery, etc., does anyone really think they give a rat's backside about whether we capitalized "operating room", or spelled out the number ten? All that matters is accuracy and readability! The almighty BOS doesn't matter to them one iota.
This whole BOS/QA analness of MT is driving me crazy, too, because it's all about being jerked around.
Or try Folex or Spot Shot.

You are right. I've always said I'm just in a good spot. sm
I hope I have never acted like anybody wasn't good enough. I sure didn't mean to.
I have used Bio-Spot on my dogs for years. (nt)
how 'bout a camera on that spot?
I was asked to take a pay cut and quit on the spot.
I needed the job, but I would not allow myself to take a pay cut. I am working again for more money than I was making.
This is only a test of the URL link spot.
Bald spot on head???
Has anyone ever had this happen or know of anyone who has had this happen? My 14-year-old son has a spot on the top of his head that is bald. It's about the size of a quarter. He has never had this and it came all of a sudden a couple of weeks ago. There is no hair growing out of this spot. ~
Should I take him in to have it checked or is this a common thing? I typed it in Google and came up with something called alopecia maybe. ~ I'll take any advice anyone wants to give me. Thanks!!!
I think our bodies are just not made to sit all day in one spot! sm
I have the same problem - I can't sleep at night and I am bored and sleepy all day. I am getting ready to ask to change my work hours so that I can go for a walk for about an hour mid-morning. I used to do that and it helped tremendously with keeping my energy up and helping me sleep at night.
That is also a very sore spot, I agree
I requested the same thing about 2 months ago, could a physician pleaseeeeeee spell a name, especially when wanting a cc sent and was told if I could not find, just to pend the note and so I do. Why they are so against asking for a spelling is just beyond me. That should be a no brainer but noooooo, don’t get a high and mighty physician upset.
bright spot in the employment picture
I just got a job working for a hospital with a 3/4 million dollar transcription budget whose HIM director wants to bring all the work back in house. He's offering IC as well as employee with bennies/time off positions. The wages are fair, and I'm making a great line count on their software (he even let me install my own word expander). This is a Michigan hospital, but he actually has MTs in other states who work for him. I had to go in house to train, then I went home. For anyone who's interested this is at Covenant Hospital in Saginaw, Michigan.
oopsie! 2nd response in. Just followed 1st response.

Hayseed; I luv ya!
Hayseed! You are my kinda gal! I am in just about the same situation; plunked into a small, rural town with NO job opportunities available, hit rock bottom, etc. I answered an ad, like you did, scored an interview, aced the test, and they told me, like I said, that I'm the only person without "experience" they have ever hired, but, my background, determination and fortitude impressed them. Did you have to buy your own equipment and resource books to get started, too?  By the way, I have a friend who moved to Bangor. I was her secretary for two years before they moved from here. She's a psy nurse, her hubby's a child psychiatrist. If I ever get there, I'd love to meet you! (love your picture!)
Hayseed
Good for you. I don't think I could live so isolated, but you seem to do just fine with a lot of humor. I love reading your posts, and I love your piggy.
You said it Hayseed!!!
I agree as well. Sure, it would be great if I got paid more, but for me it's the unpaid benefits that are worth their weight in gold. I save money on clothes (not too many people can say their work clothes are comft PJs), gas for my car, and child care for my children. I get frustrated like everyone else, but I think of all the good things I have going for me working at home, step back, and then jump right back into it.
Well said Hayseed!!!
Hayseed
Most, if not all of your posts, make me giggle! Honestly though, I've thought of doing the same thing from time to time...
Hayseed
I like the way you think!
You go Hayseed!
Things would be different for me, too, if I had a "hubby" to bring home a paycheck and bennies and stuff. I am an excellent MT, too, BTW!
Hey Hayseed
Just wanted to mention to you about dentalplans.com. I had not been to the dentist for some time because of the insurance issue, so went looking and found these guys. It is NOT insurance, but the dental plans offer a range of pricing and covered services (plan fees are one annual payment of about $159, more or less). The hygienist was amazed at what the plan covered for me, as was I. I had to have the deep cleaning done (which was charged at about $1,200 per quad, but my cost was about $300 per quad with the plan -- not to mention the savings on the root canal with crown/crown extension that I had to have -- BIG bucks, but I saved quite a bit there too.)
Anyway, you can get a plan where you get free cleanings and x-rays, I believe, but then the more extensive work is not covered as well as with the plan that I chose (Presidential, I think). You also have a 90-day period of time during which you may change from one of their offered plans to another (like if you choose the free cleanings plan and then discover you have a lot of work that would be better covered by another plan).
I know . . . I'm starting to sound like a commercial or like I work for dentalplans.com, but I was just really glad to find them and I felt like it was as good as having actual dental insurance, since most of the insurance plans I have had or reviewed are not that great anyway, and usually only cover 25% of the costs involved with seeing a specialist.
Hayseed
Are you a Steeler fan??????
Yay, it's HAYSEED!
So glad Hayseed responded! I couldn't help but write too. I have been lurking the last day, and have to admit I have missed this place. All I had to do when it was down was go on smaller MT boards and lurk, but still had too much time for e bay and working! (Note to boss: Sorry ,just kidding, I do work all the time and am only on here when I have my break, really! Note to husband: Sorry about my paycheck going to e bay rather than auctions, it was not my fault, really!)
But real reason for writing. Glad to see hayseed is here! Hayseed you really cheer this MT up lots and glad you are here still. You have fans you know, and if you disappear, it won't be the same! :) You have cheered this HolidayMT up on more than one occasion and wanted to thank you for that. When this place was gone, thought there was no chance to let you know, so here it is in case this place disappears again.
Well, that's it for now, cheers to all from the HolidayMT.
Hayseed....
