Eighteen years of typing and fast typist
I speed up the dictation so that it can keep up with me
sorry about typos..typing too fast without proofing, as this subject really irritates me.nm.
nm
oops - typing police where are you. I meant Philippines
nm
I am including all insurance deductions including nm
n
Some good people used to work for MQ including
s
I do work all hours, including my days off, and 3rd shift
to try to make up hours, but I'm short most weeks. There are lots of accounts with low work, yet they keep hiring more.
I don't need the benefits, but I was told that if there is no work it will not affect benefits. I am new too and not eligible for benefits until next month anyway, so I can't say if that is true or not.
okay, whatever you say. Gotta go work!
You gotta be kidding me! Do NOT work for those wages it hurts the entire industry. sm
People taking those wages are hurting the entire MT field period whether in the US or elsewhere. You are only padding someone else's pockets with those wages. Highway robbery.
It looks like you need to hire yourself a proofer.
You need to leave due to lack of work. Put in your 2-wk notice and move on. Gotta earn a living! nm

It's Arrogant, NOT
Oh please!! You really are arrogant aren't you?
A LOT of positions don't pay much more than 7.5 cpl for clinic notes no matter how much experience/knowledge you have and some are even less. YES, OP notes should be paid at a higher rate.
I didn't mean to be arrogant.....sm
and if I came off that way, then I apologize.
Still, I don't think all of my comments are wrong. I do believe that MTs will always have jobs, but those jobs are everchanging. I, too, had my own service for about 8 years and it was technology that ended that for me, not because I would not keep up but because I could not finacially keep up with the changes.
I offered suggestions to try to help you see that maybe you could make some changes on your end to help your situation, but you have not even commented or responded to those. It appears to me that you don't want help but rather just want to sit on the pitty pot and everyone to feel sorry for you. I'm sorry if that is arrogant and blunt and hurtful, but that is what I see from where I sit. I am sorry that you are in the situation that you are in.
What's arrogant is your assuming that other MTs in a bad
situation with this company are there because they've somehow not kept up with the times and have become dinosaurs. I'm on ASR, I'm certified out the wazoo, I to go the conventions, I am active in the industry. Guess what? No dinosaur here, and my job has changed for the worse. I've done literally everything I can do to climb in this company and make more money, and it's been impossible so far. My pay isn't climbing either. When it comes down to where the rubber meets the road, the fact is I need an income that brings in enough money to meet my bills. If I'm doing everything right here and it's not, then the problem lies with the company. The timing of when to leave is the dilemma. Things can get better at companies, but if they do, sometimes it takes years. Sometimes they never get better.
Maybe you are snotty and arrogant. nm
Why do these companies tolerate the arrogant,
nasty technicians/programmers that are supposed to be helping keep us up and operating, but instead think they are doing us a favor by fixing their problems, usually problems created by their own incompetence? Is this just a bluster to cover up for their inadequate personalities and their lack of ability? This used to be the tactic the quack doctors used to make their patients think they were great. How many more MTs does a company have to lose because the equipment is always down, no communication when it it goes down or comes back up, just an attitude of I am better than you and you will just have to keep trying every 10 minutes (at no cost to the company) to see if it is fixed.
Customer satisfaction is always listed as a company priority. From what my husband has told me about management, employees are also customers, but the way these rude donkeys treat us, there sure is not going to be any satisfaction with a job, so people just keep looking for a better company, one that will at least communicate and make the techs have a decent attitude or fire them.
How fast is the platform you work on?
Because the platform I am on is slower than the snail in my backyard.
I work for Fast Chart and sm
just wanted to let everyone know that Instant Text works with the TAe platform. =)
Anybody work for Fast Chart?
Just wondering if anybody has worked for Fast Chart recently and what they think of the company? Thanks in advance.
better rate if work fast
You also need to take into consideration the correctness of your work with that speed!
How arrogant. I have been doing this for 20+ years and have no idea what your 10-key skills sm
is a reference to. Throwing little code phrases out that mean nothing to the vast majority of MTs as a measurement of MT skills does not help your point of view at all.
Their head tech is very arrogant and good
NM
expose this arrogant person/company
which company has such an arrogant recuiter?
I work for Fast Chart. If you will narrow ... sm
...down your questions, I'll give you my honest opinion. I'm very happy there, but everyone's different, you know? What things are really important to you in a company? If you want to chat live, you can usually find me in the MT Cottage chat room (www.mtcottage.com).

anyone work for D&L Typing Service?
Do they seem to have alot of accounts? Is pay still low?
anyone work for D&L Typing Service lately?
Looking for new info on this company. They had recent adds
So what would you suggest? Typing ER work
xx
I'm glad you never run out of work..you must be typing (sm)
a specialty other than ERs. I ran out of work quite often over 8 years but could usually make it up later in the week or in the evenings. MQ also lost several different ER accounts that I typed so that was another reason for no work. Starting in January 2006 after they introduced their rewards pay scale, through July there were days when I typed 3-4 reports when I signed on and then the rest of the day had little or no reports. I constantly asked for more work but MQ told me they had no more ER accounts. I did other basic 4 types but ran out of those as well. I even asked for a Radiology account because I had done Radiology for a local hospital several years earlier. I wish things had been different for me at MQ because they were always flexible with me and I had good benefits there. I planned on staying there for the rest of my career. That was why it took me so long to leave, I thought things would pick up and get better. I'm glad some people still like it there and have plenty of work. I wish that had been the case with me.
Is work at MDI SR or straight typing?
nm
I work VR work and there is NOT enough. I am typing 9/10ths of my day. sm
With the work flows are down across the board. Now is not really the time to tell anyone to come work for TT.
Please work on your typing skills - your post has so
flexible, not flexable Spheris, not Spheirs MedQuist, cap the Q appreciated, not appriciated Also, it would be, ... with flexible hours (for those sleepless nights). ... I think if you will have difficulty finding and holding a job with those kinds of mistakes.
I work at KS and I don't even make that straight typing. :( nm
LOL. I read too fast and thought you were contacting her about porn work. nm
nm
You will be hired fast and then wait weeks or months for work...SM
You may be asked to invest in expensive equipment, likely to run out of work regularly and not have your calls returned when you try to contact them. They do pay well but the work is NOT there more than it is, so great pay doesn't mean much. They sell it to you great but they don't deliver.
Shouldn't you get to work? They need you typing, b'cuz they have lost all
xxx
AMEN TO THAT.. I worry all the time how fast our jobs are dwindling down thanks to work going
to other countries and more companies going to the voice recognition programs. Obviously, they will still need proofreaders and editors for the VR stuff, but not as many people. I feel like someday our jobs will just be gone so yes invest your money into nursing or something. Anything else medical is a win-win situation, just not transcription as a whole.
Sorry, meant to tell you I work for DSG.
nm
sorry.. I meant "want to work for...
nm
I meant all of them. I have not found any that do not work with it. nm
nm

Very little PTO and it is to be used for everything, including
sick days, vacation days, holidays -- really stinks !
I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, but
They pay 0.05 for weekends and another 0.05 for over 16,000 lines per pay period. If you keep your 11,000 lines per pay period you get almost 4 hours of PTO per pay period, which is about 10 days a year. No holiday pay, but usually offer a bonus if you work one. $40.00 internet reimbursement a month. The insurance costs me just under 100.00 a pay period for myself only, no family, but I think that depends on where you live.
Can't think of anything else, but they are good to work for...kind and honest.
I get 8.5 cpl including spaces, plus
for over 16,000 per pay period, which is relatively easy to get. I've got a great account though. I know some places may pay more, but we get what we are promised, on time, plus PTO and insurance if you need it, not free of course, but pretty resonable. An IC can make more per line, but end up losing becuase of the additional SS taxes and absolutely no benefits. I love TT and thank God every day for my job.
No it is everything including interventional
mammos, CTs, MRIs, PETs, etc. The docs are very good and the system is very easy -IDX. Guess I should just stay where I'm at.
9 cpl including spaces
