In Reply to: No, it is EDITING court transcripts - parttime scopist
Thank you both for answering my not dumb question! Years ago, I transcribed depositions for a VA Hospital and you had to get every *ahem* or cough or whatever was being said, even in the background.....sounds very similar. Before I went into the MT business in 1980, I really considered doing courtroom steno.
Thanks again!!!

Has anyone worked as a scopist or know one? (sm)
I would like to get more info on this field. Thanks
parttime
I like them although I only work parttime, so no bennies, can't help you with that part of it.
tech support is very responsive. sometimes I have a hard time figuring out who to direct my non-tech-related questions to. more than half the time I get an email back that says 'not my responsibility.'
they are good about paying when they say they are going to, which is 4 working days after the end of the pay period (twice a month).
firm requirement of 135 lph and they are threatening to let people go who don't meet the requirement after 2 pay periods.
the best news for me was no ASR, and they say they don't outsource overseas.
I've been happy with them so far. Compared to MQ they are a million percent better!
as always, everyone's experience is different.
I have two parttime jobs as well.
Naturally, they both dump on me on the same days each week. It's feast or famine around here. I've been looking for another job, possibly even employee status instead of IC because I'm tired of this. I can't make anybody happy and I'm tired of the huge fluctuations in workload and income. I just don't know where to apply. When I do apply somewhere, potential employers have these long interviews and tests. I don't mind doing them, but then I get dumped on from both jobs. It's like they know I'm looking elsewhere. Maybe it's karma telling me to stick it out or not to take the new job. I don't know. LOL
Will definitely keep you in my prayers PAMT! nm

Agree with Gina. Do parttime to
see what the company is like. Learned the hardway, quit one job to go to *greener* pastures and was way sorry. But still working at home and love it. I personally would never go back in-house! Good luck!
I remember your post last week, PAMT
I think our doctor appointments were on the same day, as I remember reading your post when I got home.
Hope we can get speedy and favorable results! I was looking at my facility's web site and it said they forward the results to the PCP and patients should hear something "within 10 days." Hope it's a lot sooner than that!
Anyway, hope they have the AC cranking at the mammo place. Between the heat wave and the no-deodorant edict, it could get a little funky in there! Good luck to you too, PAMT.
Good luck tomorrow to the OP and also to PAMT!
Let us know what you find out. Will keep you in my prayers.
I had to have a re-do mammogram a couple of months ago because they saw some suspicious calcifications on the first mammo. I was so scared. Turned out okay though. Stay strong!
