Nice post, thank you and have a nice day. nm

What a nice post!
  It sounds like you are making what you want and your platform is working really well.  Thank you for sharing a positive outlook on this company.  I found your post to be very well written.  Thank you. 
Very nice post.

I also agree with going into MT for the right reasons.  This is the healthcare profession, not an assembly line.  These are live people behind these reports and living breathing physicians rely in our reporting skills to care for their patient.  I think somewhere along the line, this has gone by the wayside and all anyone seems to care about is cents per line and how many lines they can do in an hour.  Are you going to trip someone at the store so they'll go the doctor you transcribe for so you'll get your lines????????????  Geez Louise!!!!  There are going to be lulls.  If there are too many lulls, then one must find a way to supplement that.  Nothing is a given in this profession! 


Nice post about the doc's needs
We forget that the docs also have worries about their homes and such from the hurricane and that they are not immune from the devastation from IKE.
Very nice post...
I have not worked with you or really read the comments you are talking about.  Reading your post touched a nerve with me--I'm currently getting together info to start my own business.  I am often anxious for the reasons you have illustrated, so I appreciate the fact you have shared such a great explanation.
nice post
i totally agree except i dont know what TPTB means LOL im so behind on these abbreviations people use on here.

I know that the work I expect from myself was not measured by the women who took over my job, but the docs took the 2 cpl less to pay them for the worse work. Well, whatever i guess. am i supposed to produce lower quality work because im not getting paid enough? That isn't my style... it just sucks for those of us who really truly do care about our work and dont get what we deserve for it.
Nice post!!!
Very well said!! 
that is a nice and encouraging post NM

nice, thoughtful post/reply...thank you!

Have to post that I received a very nice holiday bonus from QT which

I agree also. Nice post. I'm so sick of asking one question
and getting a lot of really nice educated help and advice and then there are the negative mongers who go way off subject and ream you out for asking questions.  What is the deal anyway.  I've never seen so many negative people in one area or profession before.  Quite honestly, there are some days when I sit here bored out of my mind and then it starts wandering to everything else but work.  I find that I pick at stupid things and sometimes I feel like the social isolation is responsible and it starts making you fruity.  So, I will just assume when people are attacking others that this job is just getting to them in some way.  This is supposed to be a support group. I may not agree with everything I see but I am not going to rip someone apart. Let's stay support and objective.  Everyone has something to offer, let's just to it kindly and intelligently.  
Very nice owner, nice work, nice place - sm
the leave you alone.  I left because they do not budge from their pay which was kind of mediocre.  I would go back if I had to because they were extremely nice.
Very nice people, nice place to work. nm

It's a "fishing" post. Same post a few days ago with numerous errors
ROFL

Read Spherson's post below, who admits, in the post, they do pay it.
zzzzz
Peachy, your post is interesting, but my post now is irrelevent but
A few weeks ago I went to my clinic where they had recently implemented EHR or EMR, whichever you call it, and the doctor's back was to me the whole time he and I conversed because his nose was stuck in his laptop. To me, it felt a little more impersonal, but I understand he was doing what he had to do, but it seems like the bedside manner may go to the wayside if the doctors can't even look at you when they are asking you questions or you are speaking to him/her. I know this is relevant to your original post, but just an interesting fact that I had not anticipated. Anyone else experience this?
This is why I NEVER post my cpl. I'll post the range of
what the company pays, but NEVER what I make.  I know that I make more than probably 70% of the people there, because they know I produce a client ready report and that I can do anything they throw at me.   We don't have levels, but I guess if we did I'd be at the highest level.    Telling how much you make isn't so bad, but when people know what company you work for and then what you make that isn't a good combination.  The ONLY people I have ever discussed what I make with, are my husband and my MTSO owner.   Talking about your salary/pay is enough to get your fired in lots of companies.

One post was another "run" type of post and the
the recruiter. Once you are in with the company, the recruiter has nothing to do with you or your job. I want specifics about problems with THE JOB, not the recruiter.  Specifics such as no or late checks, line counts being messed up, no work, taking bennies away with no explanation. Things that matter, not the recruiter. 
Yep! And it's a NICE one, too, for each

full-time referral!  The trick there is the new employee has to be meeting their minimum line requirement by 90 days. Good luck!


If you can't say something nice about ... sm
someone/something, don't say anything at all. Then again, I also learned that a "cranky (sic) sailor is a happy sailor" - there is no need for all these people to gripe for no reason except to have their "voice" be heard. Sheesh
Wow, that is so nice of you to say.
I think I know who you are, but please email me tomorrow.

You are such a sweetheart. People like you make my job so much easier. You know, we really try to keep our MT's happy cause Sue and I are MT's and we know what the deal is.

Candy, give me a call or an email tomorrow. That is so nice. MDI has gotten such bad press from this board and you know, I didn't even know how to post and Sue explained it. Duh???

Thanks again,
Liz
they are nice
decent people
She is very nice
I have talked to Jean M. a few times already.  I just accepted their offer Friday and wanted to be sure I understood what they had told me.  What they told me sounded very good.  I am looking forward to starting.  They are going to let me work a split shift.  I am on evenings now with 2 little boys and it makes it hard. 
They were very nice. sm
The two things I did not care for was the unlimited long distance, and their software Bayscribe.  Even though it was easy to use, the spellcecker is way too outdated.  I did not care for that at all. 
Yes..of course..say something nice about OSi
I agree. Based on the writing, wording used, and the same old themes used over and over, it really does seem like the same couple of bitter people complaining about OSi. I don't know what has brought them out of the woodwork all of a sudden. Doesn't really matter to me. I'm happy there. I'm not a newbie, wasn't when I started, and have been there 3 years now. I hope to be there for a long time to come.
WOW, must be nice!!
I have a little over 9 years. 30+ years, way to go!!!
That's nice. They still are not MTs.

It would be nice to know what the
for most of the ER MTs and for most of their acute care MTs so we could get a general feel for what can truly be achieved. I have also heard they have several platforms and wonder which ones are the most MT friendly.
Nice try - someone from QA?
LOLOLOLOL
Oh that is so much BS. QA has always been very nice to me. Everybody's nice.
nm
Nice-
It is nice to be appreciated now and then.
Have a nice day to you all! nm

Thanks, that's nice of you (sm)
I figured the KS people would be happy to get the lost IDs back after a fashion. Maybe the 3 people who had to stop last week can start on it again. It's news to me that KS was getting it all, though. But that hospital wasn't up front with us about many things. I hope you all are making good money on it, I couldn't make much money on that platform even with my IT.

I doubt that there will be severance, though. I'm just a little in shock that it was so fast; I figured we'd have another week or so at least. I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone.
Hey, that's not nice. I'm sure they let her off QA

because, after looking at her reports, they see that she knows what she is doing!


Again - not nice!

You have no idea what dictators she got.  I was off QA after the first day at my current job.  One of the reports I transcribed on my first day I received back with a note about how exceptionally difficult the dictator was, and what a great job I had done.  QA had to leave a number of blanks in that one.  It was awful.  I still got released from QA, because that horrible, terrible dictator gave me a chance to show what I was made of.  If I could handle that guy, I could handle anybody, and I do.  Maybe you haven't reached the level of experience and competence to be released from QA in very short order, but there are those of us who certainly have.  Maybe some day you'll get there.  In the meantime you shouldn't insult those of us who have worked so hard to excel in this field. 


That's nice to know. Thanks. nm

Must be nice (sm)

I do work 7 days a week.  I transcribe until 11 at night most of the time.  I work 3 transcription jobs.  I have absolutely no life, no quality time.


I make 8.25 cpl for one company


7.25 cpl for another


9 cpl for a third


The 8.25 cpl job is basically straight typing, no headers, no footers, no demographics to fill in.  I can crank out 500 lines an hour but I'm only given 500 lines-700 lines per day to transcribe.


7.25 cpl is VBL, ESL and small amount of work


9 cpl is lots of demographics to fill in, small little notes and not a lot of work but it takes double the time the 8.25 cpl job does.


I would give my eye teeth to make 12 cpl and be able to do 500 lines per hour at the same time.  Stopping and starting, filling in demographic blanks and forms takes up so much time that I'm lucky if I make $2200 a month but again, 7 days a week and no life away from the computer.


 


Nice!
Well I emailed them and asked what that was all about with no response. I guess that is what they are going to give. I will be staying away from them in the future and would suggest people to do the same. This is highly highly unprofessional in my opinion.
must be nice............
gosh, what does it feel like to actually make $25.00 an hour? I do remember long long ago when I made this much while on overtime and working inhouse, but I am lucky to get anywhere close to $10 an hour these days, most of the time even less.  I guess I am just not fast enough to even be in this business.
