Exactly what I was seeking
Yes, this the kind of advice I was seeking. Thank you!!!
I'm seeking out a second job...
Right now. I don't mind helping a company meet their goals and deadlines, as long as they help me meet my goals and deadlines by giving me enough work to make enough to live on.
Hopefully it won't come down to me having to seek out a 3RD job.
Seeking information
Could anyone tell me anything about MDI on their Meditech Radiology Accounts? I would like to hear from anyone who is currently or have been previously employed with this company. Specifically concerning their line counting, is this calculated by Meditech or some other method? How accurate do you feel their method is and if you could maybe give me an average estimate on daily line counts you have experienced. Also anything you can tell me about the work flow for the weekends. Does it easily run out? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you.
Seeking information
Sorry about that. FL
I was seeking a response
from someone other than my TL because she makes me feel I'm bothering her. In general, what is the role of a team leader?
Seeking my own account
If anyone has an account in the Atlanta, GA area that they'd like to pass on or know of a doc who is looking for a reliable Transcriptionist (work from home), please email me.

seeking work
I need some advice on applying for jobs. I have 8 years acute experience but have never worked for an online company. I have my own computer, and am willing to add any programs, buy the books, whatever. I am fairly firm about not working Sundays or graveyard, but all the rest of the week is fine. I want to quit this in-house job and go home. I have applied to 6 companies; one likes me but said they have no work which I am taking as a nice brush-off - I aced everything - I aced all the written tests, flunked the first company's transcription test, but now I either don't get that far or I pass the trans test. I am knocking myself out, leaving this in-house job nightly and spending at leats 2 more hours on the compuer applying. What is it? ARe there any tips? Is it that I've never worked from home? Please help me just a little if you can. I'm losing my self-confidence.
Seeking good company
 Anyone have any info on Eight Crossings, Inc, or Sierra Medscribe?
Or know any services that will either accept MTs with dial-up, or help pay for satellite?

new here/wanting to leave MQ/seeking a better place!
That's right, MQ has finally really, really gotten to me after eight long years! I have told and told and told myself that it's okay there are major lawsuits against the company that imply terrible wrongdoing, it is okay that MQ seems to change CEOs every few months, it is okay that I haven't had a raise in two years, it is okay that I do a brilliant job without anyone caring... and finally, finally, it is just not okay. I am talking to Medware who apparently won Employer of the Year in 2002 and 2005. Can I get a witness? Anybody work for them? What about Spheris? Flexibility of schedule is utterly crucial to me, and I have to have benefits, so no IC work. Where can I go where they'll appreciate me? I'm a former high school English teacher with 15 years as an MT (8 in acute care) and some QA experience. Help???
Seeking home-based MT job from Canada!!!
Hello, I am seeking a full-time MT job from home (in Canada). I want to work for a great company that pays well. I also want my computer and all required supplies paid by the company. I will pay for high speed internet!! Where I reside, we have fibreoptic telephone lines - therefore it is the best place to do medical transcription, the quickest speed of voice data and the clearest in north america!! We also rarely have storms here! I live in New Brunswick, 1 hour for calais, Maine.
I have 5+ years of experience and I am also a coder trained in Toronto. HOpe to hear from you soon. Thanks!

Desperately seeking psych trans job from home
Does anyone know of any companies who are in need of transcriptionists for psych? I am available immediately. Please reply asap!
I agree. Sounds like a controlling attention-seeking parent so

I work for the person. I know. Very excellent person, personally and business-sense.
It is an INSULT to have QA hovering over seasoned MTs who know what they are doing. She trusts her MTs and again if there are questions there is one person, a trainer, who can answer them via phone, e-mail or instant message or you can send the whole report to them if you choose.
Point was is the person willing to make up for the slack of the person who types 1 job when there is
if that is all they WANT to type. Is the person who wants to be a supervisor willing to make up for those people?
You have crap supervisors, editors and mts in the business like you have good ones. Sadly, the really good ones of all of them are few and far between.
When you have a QA person that is picky and another QA person that is very lenient where does that
leave the MTs because some are getting a lenient reviewer and others are getting one that picks at everything. How do you reconcile that issue with the difference in QA mentality. Some people make out well and the other people could be just as good but dont. I wonder about that.
The person MTSO pays is the person who

Agree, verbatim transcription equals poor quality transcription.

One person's "custom" is another person's
"house arrest". I'd never go to the Middle East because of how they treat women. I don't agree with their laws or "justice" system. For example, the woman who was gang raped as punishment for the actions of her 12-year-old brother, a boy who wasn't even an adult. How's that for a "custom"? Let's not forget bride burning. Burqas.
Besides, foreigners don't follow our "customs" when they come to this country. Half of them don't even bother learning English. Instead, we're expected to pay for healthcare and foodstamps for illegals and print everything in Spanish.
I won't be oppressed or treated as a second class citizen, and I wouldn't treat others like that either. A "custom" is more like putting up a Christmas tree, not being abused based on your gender.
i'm sure it will vary from person to person.
I recently did the same thing and am loving it! The freedom from time clocks, the better company, make losing the benefits well worth it to me. You need to set up a plan to have $ set aside for taxes though. I should have done this years ago!
Wrong person. I'm not the person you were
any money. You have a sucky attitude, a "poor me" attitude. Get off your lazy whiny a$$ and work instead of complaining and you will make money. I have one account at 10.5 cpl, two at 14 cpl and one at 15 cpl. I make a lot of money, even on the 10.5 cpl. But I'm not sitting around whining either. And I didn't whine when I made $6 an hour.
Know AIM transcription system, never heard of Hull transcription. Are you sure
you are not thinking about DHull who is a recruiter for MDI-FL? They use the AIM system.
The one person I know who his doing VR....
isn't filling in words, she's having to reconfigure and restructure to the entire report, to the point it would be much easier and faster to just transcribe it. And over several months' time, it hasn't gotten one iota better. I'll believe the "fill in the word" editing when I see it.
like the person below said------
no friend of medical transcriptionists for one thing
and when I met her my only thought was well that must have been
the personification of Marian the Librarian.
I would have thought she'd have retired to a garden pruning weeds by now and gotten her extremism out of our lives. But no such luck.
This person cannot
do anything unless he has a document that was signed by your daughter indicating that he loaned her money using the motorcycle as collateral. To get this person to leave you alone, you may want to have an attorney give this person a call to pose this question (regarding signed doc). I have had a situation occur, not necessarily like yours, but I needed an attorney to write a letter in order to cease the situation and the attorney only charged my $50. The letter took care of the problem.
This person (Taz) is
a perfect example of what I just stated. This world is going to hell in an elaborately decorated hand basket.
So one person (YOU) is MOST MT's?
I make more than you do anyway and I left MT so LOL yourself and good luck finding a job in 5-10 years when this one goes the way of the mule skinner.
wonder if it's the same person?
From VA?

QA person here(sm)
I QA by cutting and pasting the error; preferably as much of the sentence as I can so they at least have an idea of what I am correcting and why. I also cut and paste my corrections. I also give them hints on how to research, including links.
I'm not sure that (d) up there sounds very nice. New MTs CAN be taught a great deal, but to have that "edge" on them only scares them more. I've been on both ends, as a beginning MT and as QA. I remember the feedback that helped me most and it was often delivered in a friendly helpful manner, no warning shots, etc.
As the other person said, Go For It!
It was supposed to be a 2 year course at the Community College, but the way that the courses were setup and with working, took me 2 1/2 years. Not bad for an *ol' gal!* Was just very proud of myself because at the time, I had a hunch that some people around me were thinking *she'll never do it,* and I did, with flying colors!! I'm sure you have some support behind you, so you should be good to go!! Anyway, if you don't do it, you'll always be wondering *what if,* so just do it!! Like a friend asked me, "But I'll be 10 years older when I finish?!" My answer, "You'll be 10 years older if you don't." LOL!
I'm not so sure it's that person....sm
It could be anyone of about a hundred malcontents. You cannot *assume* on these boards - only the Administrator and Moderators could verify if it's that poster or not. Personally, I don't care who the posters are in reality. I just think what with all the strife going on in the world EVERYWHERE that people/posters should just be a tad kinder in the life.
Envy is fine - envy is like you're happy for that person but wish you were *there* - whereas jealousy (albeit it might be universal) is very unhealthy and nasty, negative, and people wishing to take other people down notches by posting nasty remarks. Oh well, some people just are more comfortable with the negative and nasty in life (guess their cups are always half empty) - but some of us choose to be positive and not nasty (cups being half full). It's all a matter of choice.
Take care and have fun!!
Go by in person??

QA person from MQ please
Hi I have a friend considering changing compaines and coming in as a QA person. She is on the fence can anyone give me some feedback is MQ QA any good, what and how do they pay...Do they treat you ok? She is in the grass is greener syndrome working at another co. I just left MQ for another field I wasn't happy as an MT. Trying to help out a friend thats all..
QA Person
Thank you so much! I feel so much better having heard from you today. I have had the hyphen battle with this person in QA forever it seems and I have continued to follow as shown in the Book of Style. In my heart of hearts I felt I was correct. I plan to take your much appreciated advice and keep typing it the way I have been. I am so thrilled to know that a person in QA agrees that at times the MT gets mixed signals. Now I do not feel so alone. At times I wonder if some people in QA forget how it was before they were in those shoes. I have 2+ years experience and at times I still feel like a newbie fresh out of school. Just wish some QA would be more tolerant -- especially when the MT really does follow the Book of Style. Thanks again!!! Bless you!!! Wish you were my QA . . . at least you seem like you can still relate to how difficult the MT work can be on the otherside of the fence.
Said something about 6 cpl from a person
whose English was atrocious. This person really should pay someone to hire them.
This person is not looking for *help*. sm
She is looking for employees by asking for help and then sending you an email asking for your resume. something suspicious here.
this person is probably just......
trying to protect his or her own job security, so the company does not get job overhire! I would probably do the same. I found my own really good job after 7 years of searching, and I LOVE IT!
I'd tell her RIGHT NOW that the person isn't
if you are going to continue to proof her work. No sense in dragging it out. If someone is going to make it as an MT, you know that fairly quickly.
Please tell me what a person is doing
when the scope is used. I have seen it and do not know exactly what they are doing. Thanks.
You are not the same person.

Maybe the only person they could get who would - (sm)
"speak for 6 cents a line?"
MT person
Well in 4 hours I did over 1600 lines @.125 per line plus one hour of printing and delivering and that equals over $200 which equals $40 to $50 per hour.
And to think we would allow this person to

I got one from the same person
Named Susan also written very poorly and asking odd questions. It's aggravating!
from a QA person
A lot of the changes you see are out of our hands. Where I work, the management people change their mind weekly, mark this, no don't mark it, mark that, no don't. Plus remembering what to mark for offshores (who get their little hands held) and what to mark for ICs. Yes there are some QA people out there who get on a power trip by making you feel bad. If everybody followed one set of rules, such as the book of style, we wouldn't be having these problems, and neither would you. It's such a pain in the tush, if my hands weren't so bad, I'd go back to transcribing!!
It was always run by the same person...
She just lied and said it was all American. It was just officially taken over when she screwed people over with not paying them.
Same person set the site up and ran the site, she just put her name on it. So, if you supported it 2 years ago or 3 years ago, it's no different than now. The only thing that's changed is she doesn't have access to your stuff anymore.
