    NOT TRUE !!! I was a manager at a company that sm
    was sued (and lost $450,000) because of a limb that was taken incorrectly based on the transcription. The hospital lost $2.8 million, the doctor $4.2 million and the transcription company $450,000. This was due to the fact that the transcription said one thing and the voice was gone so there was no proof of what had been said.

    That error is partly responsible for the hospitals having the patient verify the limb and putting the x on it with the patient still awake and alert.

    It was 14 years ago and I would not recommend a service to go without E&O and liability insurance, especially as the public is more sue-happy now than they were even back that short period ago.
    Spoken like a true blue manager
    Ahh loyalty..... what a wonderful quality. Defend to the end will we UNTIL the table turns on you!
    That is wonderful news. I hope the changes stick and the new office manager is a true asset to the
    owner.  She is a lovely woman and I wish her much success.  I just might check them out again.  Thanks for the information.
    Why must the person be a troll? Before its over with I guess you will be a troll also.

    I know I made over $60K as a QA manager. An MT manager
    I am told is less money but definitely NOT as low as $36,500. I would not do it for $36,500.

    The majority that I hear and see (and many are not advertised) are around $45K. You are giving yourself away for that. You might be working for a company that I received an offer from at one time. Great people but could not afford to work for that kind of money. Way too low to be on call 24/7.
    Obviously a troll!
    First, if you were fired from Spheris, you just aren't too good!  From your post, I can understand why you were fired.  Learn to spell!  I wouldn't go around telling everyone how you were fired either!  Most people aren't proud of that fact.  Your post makes NO sense.  You are jealous because an Andrews graduate received better training and therefore can get a better job.  DUH.  Try another line of work!
    I'm not a TROLL
    My post sounded very rude and I apologize.  Maybe I'm having a bad day or PMSing...who knows? 
    Do you look like a troll??
    Dont insult the trolls.
    oh lawdy - one troll after another, eh? NM *lol*

    This person is a troll. (SM)
    Probably a very disgruntled ex-employee. Probably have been banned at some point from this forum for unacceptable posting.

    Do not pay any attention to their posts. I am leaving them here so the Administrator can see them first.

    Trust me, even with their anonymizers, their ISPs can still be traced and they can be reported to anonymizers for abuse as well.
    Ignore the troll.
    p;
    You are obviously a troll with a vendetta.
    Too bad you don't have something better to do than come on here and cause problems.

    please do not call her a troll - there is no need for that. the QA
    part is the truth. There is a severe lack of QA at Diskriter. I just type my lines with or without blanks and just send them through because I was tired of the nasty emails I was getting from my supervisor about my blanks. That's all I will say because I do not know who reads this board
    Can you say "management troll"???
    z
    Have you ever heard of a TROLL?

    TROLL ALERT
    NM
    Yes, only a troll masquerading as an MT
    would defend cherry-pickers and just say ignore them while looking the other day. REAL MTs would get mad and do something about cherry-pickers, not accuse MTs who disagree wtih it as being kids fighting over candy
    you know I think you are the real troll sm
    on here. I posted that I DO NOT own an MTSO but now I am a know-it-all and say things over and over. What the heck does that have to do with a post addressing the accusation that I am an MTSO owner. I work for a MTSO just like the rest of you. I happen to like my job, do well etc. etc.

    You are nothing but a whiner and complainer that doesn't need to be in this business at all.

    I hope one of these days this business DOES go back to where it was where you ahve to work your butt off to get experience with ESLs and everything else. The job is weekends, holidays, whenever the work is there is you want to work from home for an MTSO! If not go into a hospital and work int he MR department.. You will still have to work weekends and holidays.

    Shut up or get out!
    An obvious troll
    put this clown who laughs at other's misery on *ignore.* Let LMAO entertain/babysit him/herself.
    why don't you grow up and get a life you troll
    nm
    whoa - that just may be a troll post.....sm

    as I know it, the MT work coming out of India is sent to 3 doctors in India who sit in a room and proofread ALL India-MT work........saw a program on cable TV.....and this work is proofed before it comes back to the US.....


    No I am not a troll, but I did find a job. Good for me
    I found a job as a medical secretary and that is good enough for me right now. It is not the best situation, but I will get some SUM tapes and practice. Thanks for the advise.
    Look on an urban dictionary. Its right by troll,
    Do UTA?
    I call TROLL on the defensive
    so-called MT who defends cherry-picking.
    Agree - Some troll trying to stir the pot
    Must be having a very boring Easter and trying to seek stimulation on the board. *EYE ROLL*
    Ha, ha. I love it. Troll alert! Good one. nm
    .
    That person was a troll. Just trying to stir things up. 12 cpl or
    xxxx
    Yeah you troll. Get back under the bridge.
    n
    It's called a troll. Statements without backup. sm
    There is a lot of work out there with Keystrokes and others. MQ is losing accounts, and the other MTSOs are getting them. I am sure that they want to see quality and limit volume the first few days. I would if it were my company.
    well, haven't heard the word troll since...
    .
    There's something fishy here. The anti-KS troll is back!
    I make 9.5 cpl after 2 years. Someone is trying to stir up trouble again.
    Good plan. You know they troll these boards, so
    -nm
    I am officially calling you out as the troll that you are.. moderator are you here? sm
    if this isnt considered troll like flaming behavior, please define what is.
    If this is what is to be here on MT stars, I will be leaving.
    Everytime you say something good about a company, they call you a troll - (sm)
    Who's the idiot?
    Glad that's true for you for 8 years. Not true for many. I love the company, but I do run out of
    as do many others. Wish I were as fortunate as you.
    Not necessarily true. That is not a true test of skill.
    Do you know how many people get others to take tests for them? It happens and it happens more often than you might think. The only skill that shows anyway is that you can do it.

    We are actually more than a transcriptionist. We are specialists in our field and we are supposed to know some things regarding anatomy and physiology as a working base. That's how we can judge if a physician dictates something in accurately and many do because they can't pronounce or just are not thinking. That's why our skills of basic knowledge come into play and that means basic knowledge of body parts. If our job was just to sit there and type without thinking about what we are transcribing, then all patients are in trouble and this is just based on what I see as a QA person.

    It's more than just knowing how to transcribe and some of the companies have discovered how to know what your basic knowledge is based on what you have picked up with your experience by utilizing your references etc. Hopefully that utilization of your references has taught you something that does stick in your head.

    Beliefs like yours are just so far off base. You have to know what you are doing. It's not just about being able to listen and type. Base knowledge is a very important thing and the services have to find a way to know that knowledge base that is there in your head.


    Former QA Manager
    your "former nurse" is inaccurate. This person was a great manager. She was a valuable assest to the dept. in that position. Any company would be lucky to have her.
    As a former QA Manager....
    I often said, only slightly in jest, that a full psychiatric eval would be a total GODSEND. Unless you've been on the receiving end of MTs who can't accept that diagnosing an 83-year-old female patient with AIDS (dictated "of advanced age"), is WRONG, then....welll.... (She claimed that she knew as much as ANY doctor, so who was I to suggest that she was wrong?)

    And then there's the MT who believed that it was her first amendment right to transcribe whatever she liked because, dangnabit, she was a doctor in a 3rd world foreign country in a former lifetime...and threatened lawsuits because she was smarter than ANYONE else, so couldn't be touched by anything with white genetics...

    Believe me. Psych tests aren't a bad idea.

    No, not the manager.
    Those were the responses I got when I asked about the sign on bonus. I was trying to dig up their old ads. You are right about the headers and footers too. My paycheck was short almost $500.
    Re: manager
    I'm not the person you were asking, but the person I'm pretty sure you're referring to is still there as of now, so guess it wasn't her. In fact, she seems to be handling it quite well.
    Ops Manager
    Do you mean the owner or someone else? I guess I have stayed under the radar so far. C
    Have you tried to tell anyone about it? Such as your manager or sm
    the Solution Center? They trouble-shoot issues like this all the time. Oh and don't blame the platform - it could indeed be caused by your routed or your ISP. I've been with them for 8+ years and no major platform problems.
    All I know is that my first manager
    told me that medical transcriptionists have always been job hoppers, always looking for a better deal, and that was back in 1990-something. It was after that that MQ came on the scene and started changing the industry for the worse IMO.
    OSi manager job

    Hi.  I've been an MT with them for a while, and it IS as bad as people say it is, but an account manager position has come open and I'm thinking about selling my soul to the devil.  (Sorry--I'm poor, and as anyone knows who has typed for them, the second I start making money, they add 15-trillion more hospital accounts for me to try to learn, slowing me way down.)


    Does anybody know how much an account manager position with them might PAY and whether it requires RELOCATION?  Neither of these crucial points are mentioned in their job ad.  I'd ask them directly but I think I've been a thorn in the side of some of the higher-ups, though maybe not the ones I'd need to get along with, so I don't want to make myself known just yet.  Anybody know?  Thanks.


    Who is the ops manager?

    Not the Manager

    I could bet you anything that you NEVER had an issue with the Manager.  There are two people we report to, a supervisor and a manager.  Yes, the supervisor can be a bit abrasive at times but as long as you stick to your schedule, produce your line counts and maintain your quality, normally nothing is said to you.  One always has the right to go to the Manager if there is something that cannot be resolved.


    If there are QA inconsistencies, there is a QA Challenge Program.  I have had errors removed and I have also had them stick. 


    I have transcribed for over 15 years and I have never found a better company.  I believe there are a lot more happier MTs than there are unhappy MTs at Axolotl. 


    They are able to offer us such good benefits and line rates because Axolotl is known for their quality.  They are truly different than any other National company and/or in-house company/hospital, that I have worked for.


    No, I'm not the manager! (nm)
    I do currently work for Milner, and I'm happy here, but not everyone has the same experiences with companies.
    Talk to your manager about it first of all. Then...
    ...if that doesn't work, most companies, depending on how much they are hiring, can find you a spot if they want you bad enough.

    Sometimes recruiters are really restricted on what they can hire for, but if there are a lot of openings to fill I can hire a M-F person if it's a deal breaker and I absolutely don't want to lose them.

    However, it doesn't happen often, the person typically has to have a spotless track record and reputation in the field, and they possibly will have to fit into a potentially difficult-to-fill niche (oncology or very high ESL, for example), but it's not unheard of.

    Good luck!
    Why would hiring be better with a new HR manager? The HR manager should not do the hiring. sm
    The recruiter should hire. The HR manager should do the job of any normal HR manager and make sure the legal issues are done, benefits, etc. A recruiter is the hiring personnel. The HR manager is to do the inside job of human resources. That should make no difference other than with the benefits.
    Yes the operating manager
    is nasty and they want you committ to them but they will not committ to you.
