They would never be successful in getting that legislation passed. There are more MTs who could probably pass their exam but won't take it because of the ridiculous cost. Plus, doesn't one lose their "CMT" status if they don't pay their AAMT dues? More ridiculous drek. I know of more former coworkers as MTs who have been in the career for 30+ years and NEVER considered becoming certified. A stupid cliqish group.

Absolutely agree with you....S/M
Hope an entire new crew comes in or they cancel the show as it's gone downhill..........
I absolutely agree with you 110%! sm
My son is applying for PreMed, has 4.0 GPA, passed all AP exams with a 4, but the colleges will take "other than Caucasian" with lower GPA and lower test scores, etc. Discrimination is rampant in USA of White Americans. It is nauseating to say the least!
You tell me - can we help it if we are smarter, work harder, etc? It is not our fault that we were born "white." Can't believe it has come to this in America!

When did MT Stars become a haven for overt racial overtones? Sad!Sad!Sad!
Absolutely agree!
I have always found it important to take that break, eat, and either read, meditate or do some resting yoga poses to stretch stiff muscles. Makes the afternoon go 10x better.
Agree absolutely! It's
That's correct . . . this process is necessitated by HIPAA. It's related to protecting patient information.
If you think this is some employer control thing, you're dead wrong. It's a security and privacy requirement mandated by federal regulation, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
Do you know what the fine is for disclosure of personally-identifiable patient information? If not, you're not keeping up with the industry.
Would you want YOUR name and insurance information leaked out? So someone could use it? Do you know what medical identity theft is? If not, you're not keeping up.
If you do not know about this, then your employers are not providing adequate employee training. If you're self-employed, then you are not providing yourself with enough continuing education.
This is a serious issue. It has nothing to do with trying to hamper productivity, pay you less, or interfere with your life. It is, in fact, one reason the largest user of MT services in the country just banned offshoring and are looking to return to in-house MTs only.
This is a non-problem. If you want to check your email and do research on the net, just do your part to protect your clients' patients and get a laptop.
I absolutely agree with the recruiter above - sm
I worked with a woman who claimed to be a medical transcription instructor, 20 years experience, so on and so on. Get this - she could not understand a simple line of "the lungs are clear to auscultation." I AM NOT LYING ON THIS!!
I cannot tell you THE COUNTLESS NUMBER of transcriptionists that get an attitude about needing to take a transcription test when they have X-number of years experience, but you know what?? I would say a little less than half of the "prima donnas" that had this attitude, could not transcribe for beans!! I worked with a company that had travelers that sent out transcriptionists that had the prima donna attitudes, and again, their transcription could KILL A PATIENT!!! They didn't care. They were doing it for the line count to make the money. One woman if made up crap just to get extra lines.
I absolutely agree, Endiqua. sm
I agree. I'm not absolutely convinced that he did it (sm)
And obviously the authorities feel the same. I hope it is, for the family's sake. They don't need any more pain.
Absolutely agree 100% with your post!

Absolutely agree with Olympus ws-110
My local doctor uses that and he sounds crystal clear. I love it. It comes apart in the middle and has a USB connection. He plugs it into his computer, downloads the dictations, sends them to me. Easy.
I have to agree. Absolutely prosper with it and love it! sm
I, like you, produce 2500 to 3000 lines per day and CAN pay my bills on it; however, I do make way above the average cpl on EditScript.
Absolutely agree! Word of mouth and networking are key!! nm

I absolutely agree with you. You've made it grammatically correct
hope this all comes through.
Your change is much better than the one suggested below which totally changes the sentence and would not be correct in my opinion.
absolutely agree; they needed a good dose of Exlax. where was the local talent.

Absolutely, I absolutely love my job and

Agree, agree, agree! Just listen to Benny Hinn..
he speaks perfect English, especially when asking for money! Also, in my opinion, blanks should be left in the doc's dictation if not able to be transcribed, maybe then they will know that are NOT understood. With QA fixing them, what need is there for them to care if we understand them or not?
you are absolutely right and I know because I know
which is just as good as knowing any other way.
a policy of kindness is the only *way* to go....
Absolutely not, just a FYI. nm

Stay at the Polynesian - it's right on the Disney Property and it is OH SO LUXURIOUS! Very reasonably priced, too for what you get. They have a great luau (sp?), and you can walk out your hotel room and hop on the tram straight into the park.
Speaking of parks, you MUST to go Epcot and bring lotsa de casha for the country of Germany - they have colored crystal that will knock your socks off and your pocketbook clear out of your purse.
IT IS TO DIE FOR! THE POLYNESIAN AND EPCOT!

...the immature vitriolic attitude some people on this board have. If it bothers you so much to see what may seem to you a no-brainer question posted, please feel free to move on, sparing us your crappy, holier-than-thou attitude. I'm absolutely ashamed to have people like you part of my MT community.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
MQ has hurt too many people and their families. I don't even work for them, but the hospital that I work for bought their DQS program, which is wonderful, but it also included the DocQmanage program which CHEATS TRANSCRIPTIONISTS!

How do you know DocuManage cheats MTs?

I agree with you! However, I do not consider people taking necessities to survive "looters." HUGE difference with someone taking shoes, jewelry, TVs, and nonessential items. These are 2 different classes totally. People trying to survive should not even be compared to a looter. I was all for shooting any and all looters that were caught in the act!

I wouldn't encourage my worst enemy to get into this field!
Absolutely not!
NO WAY - YUCK!
Absolutely NOT
MQLOVER would get upset. Yeah you sure did dig yourself into a big one. Just keep on going and may be you can find some more people to hire in China when you get there.

I've been working a 13-hour per day schedule recently (getting ready for changes coming up). While I do slow down by the end of the day, I'm still holding quite steady and a decent line count. I've been accomplishing anywhere from 3016 (my low so far on the 13-hr schedule) to 3653 (my high so far on this schedule). TOUGH? YES! Possible??? Absolutely.
Absolutely! Go for it!

No, they absolutely do not.

Certainly the length of time it would take to complete the transcript would be dependent on a lot of things, but I personally would not bid less than $40 per audio hour, and due to the availability requirement of -- "I need for you to indicate your days and hours of availability. These
days and hours should NOT be flexible. These should be the days and
times that you are ALWAYS available to work. You will be receiving jobs
during these days and hours without advance notice and you are expected
to do them, no excuses."
I would not even do it for the $40 mentioned above.
no you are absolutely not alone!!! nm

Absolutely not. They will appreciate it more
and will take better care of it if they have to work for it. We obtained a loan for our son to have his car and then he had to pay us back monthly, as well as keep up his insurance payments, car repairs, etc. However, I do know that A LOT of parents feel it is a requirement for them to buy their children cars. I personally think that is asking for trouble in the long run. Nothing in this life is free and kids need to know that, especially since they're getting ready to enter the real world.
Absolutely.
I've been doing this for 20 years...don't want to do anything else.
Absolutely NOT. I take
every single job that comes to me...good, bad...long, short...do my best and go on to the next job.
That has absolutely zero to do with this. She could have SM
been an atheist, devil worshipper, a Buddhist, and what she did would still have changed the world.
ABSOLUTELY!
I have hired numerous MTEC graduates, and have not had a problem with any of them. They are excellent MTs. The program is worth every penny. 3 of the girls I hired five years ago are now making over 25/hour on production.
Absolutely yes!
The question really should be, if Michelle were healthy enough to skate at nationals, would she have been on the team. With all else being equal, she would have been in the top 3 and therefore would have gone anyway.
Absolutely!
I read anything and everything I can get my hands on pertaining to this profession.

I have worked for over 25 years for a major medical institution as an MT, and it all goes away in two weeks. First came outsourcing to India (clinic AND academic), and now comes the EMR. There is very little for me to do these days, except try to edit what little academic comes through from India. I have come to the sad conclusion that quality doesn't matter when it can be done so much cheaper overseas, broken English isn't that big a deal when it all gets dumpted into an EMR anyway, and that now, at the age of 49, I have to find something else I can do to get by until retirement, since I honestly believe outsourcing is here to stay. Physicians with whom I've had a wonderful working relationship through the years have practically ignored me the last few months. One doctor half-heartedly offered me something for two days a week, but it was too little, too late, and too sad for me to accept. I would never, ever promote this field to anybody, since when I see an entire medical center outsource and go totally EMR, there just is no demand for what I do any more.
Absolutely not
MT is a dead-end, no respect, joe-job with no room for advancement, best suited to people with limited social skills and low expectations for themselves. Anyone who wants to better themselves instead of stagnate in limbo should move on. I have.
Not from PA, NJ.... but absolutely looking
for a different company. Let me know if you still want me to drop you an e-mail. Thanks for your reply.
Absolutely Not! nm
