the reason some of us older ones have injuries and infirmities is because this type of work has caused them! I have terrible arthritis in both hands that my ortho said was caused by this type of work, and that healthy MTs should not type more than 6 hours a day TO REMAIN HEALTHY.

If anything, we older MTs are bringing up the quality average. I'd love to see these smug MTSOs do without us, especially when they get new accounts and put their best-quality producers on them to snare the account.

Even with my arthritis, and s/p fractured wrist, I can and do transcribe (straight text, no templates) at 300-375 lph with 99-100% quality. But I can't do that many lines for 8 hours, 5-6 maybe if there's work in my queue and I don't have to make phone calls begging for more and waiting an hour before the clerks get around to sending it.

Among other things noted below, -
their QA department is pretty much brain dead.

duly noted years and not moths, but that.....
does not change the intent of my post. I've been at this over 15 years and I would never work as an employee. I would be in big trouble at the end of the year if I did not have my write-offs.

Here's a few places I've noted that use Meditech...sm

Ascend, Accentus, DataKey, DeVenture (some accts.), Keystrokes (some accts.), MDI - Florida (some accts.), NEMT (some accts.), Philbrick Transcriptions, PMSI in Alabama, SA Wynn, SPI/Cymed, Superior Global (maybe in conjunction with ExText, and Synthescribe... so far. nm

MedRite XL, Cquence, and Winscribe are a few I've noted. nm

Curious. Scrolling down yesterday and noted comment about unfair labor practice
suit possibly brought by an MT against a certain company. I know this company only hires ICs - not employees. Is this possible? TIA.

WMX - line count. Was working along and noted line count accumulation (sm)

signed off the report I was typing. Those lines didn't add immediately, but sometimes they do that. What concerns me is that when I signed that job off and the next one came up, not only were the other lines not added in but they were LESS than they were before I signed off previous job.

I thought I noticed this happening the other day, but figured I just wasn't paying attention. Today I definitely noticed it. For some reason it changed it's mind and took 8 lines off my line count. What the heck?

Am not really ecstatic with the way things are going anyway and then this confuses me.

Please, someone have a realistic explanation so I don't feel paranoid and cheated here.
