Hello!! Waiting for my corrections on grammer and ain't. (sm)
Sorry to be so petty, but a person tries to help another and this is the kind of crap that goes on.

This is the Holiday season and we should at least during this time of the year show a little compassion and kindness towards our co-workers.
Well by golly I guess I oughta start learnin me some grammer.

What a crock.

Mr Nair clarified that the medical transcription work was moving from the US to India not because of any cost advantage but because of the growing shortage in the availability of medical transcription personnel in the US.


Oh that is the biggest bunch of **** I've ever heard. 


Well, I can't say it is or is not a crock but s/m

if these posters actually read the email (which I didn't bother to do after I got the one saying to ignore it,) then I seriously doubt they are disgruntled ex-employees.  For myself, I'm taking a wait and see approach.  I don't have insurance through TT so if that's all it's about, it shouldn't affect me personally.  I also have a plan B (called retirement) so nothing really affects me.  When I read these boards (not just about TT), my heart does go out to MTs who have to make a living.  It isn't just the MT companies, it's ALL industries.  My husband is a retired truck driver (Teamster) with over $3000 in retirement checks each month plus insurance.  Even that isn't safe.  The future retiring Teamsters have seen their retirement age raised to the point they will most likely be lucky if their eyesight is still good enough for them to drive a truck!  Benefits for future retirees have been cut (less money, plus $1100 per month for insurance).  So we sit here waiting to see how long it will be before they cut benefits for current retirees.  THIS COUNTRY IS IN A MELL OF A HESS and we have our politicians to thank.


What a Crock
Michelle wrote that because she is a family member of the owner, so wouldn't say good things about a company! LOL
What a CROCK!

I was out of work for MONTHS.  Working 6 days a week, 11, 12, 13, 14 hours a day trying to get a decent paycheck.  And that VR crap, trying to convince us to take YET ANOTHER cut in pay to line their pockets.  OK, yeah, add me to the lawsuit.  Boy, for $294.50, you must feel great, TT, at filing this lawsuit against one of your workers for expressing their opinion.  $294.50...  I suspect that you have lost TEN, 100, 1000 TIMES THAT AMOUNT in goodwill in the MT world. 


What nonsense.  Develop a thicker skin and buck up.  There is a reason people post on here their opinions about what is going on at TT:  Because you tell us NOTHING!!!!! 


Now, while we are at it, BITE ME! 


What's a crock?
I simply stated my experience with TT. I have nothing to complain about, not even VR. I make the same money I was making before I started doing VR, although I prefer typing over editing. I have enough work. If you were out of work for months, had to work 6 days a week, 11-14 hours a day, you should have left and found another job. I would have.
This whole conversation is a crock
set up by disgruntled exemployees no doubt. TT does something good to lower insurance prices and you have to counteract that good move with this rumor. If you work for TT it says in the employee handbook NO RUMORS. Get that? Now the truth from where I see it: TT went to this company to get better insurance at a lower price, which is what you were wanting months ago when you started other rumors instead of waiting. This company is stricter when they act as umbrella for little companies in that they happen to do background checks. Big deal. You have something to hide? I don't care. I have worked for another company which did the exact same thing, and I had to fill out paperwork there. They did it for the same reason, because struggling medium sized companies need to get under an umbrella of many companies to get their employees good rates. So, go ahead, quit. More work for me. And go ahead, don't apply and listen to these rumors. If you would rather hear rumors on a board from strangers, rather than actually calling the company and asking them, then you need to think about your career. I am not an MTSO or management. I have been in the biz a long time. And the packets BTW were not finalized sent out in the mail yet, they were an e mail, and will be corrected ASAP. Maybe there were time constraints on the clerk at the new company so they could get you in quickly for the lower rate. Brother. This board is pathetic. It feeds on rumors rather than encouraging good practices like doublechecking details or using common sense. What a crock this whole conversation is IMHO.
8 cpl for standard and 3 cpl for VR - that's a crock!
There is little to no standard typing for which you can make 8 cpl. It is 90/10 in favor of VR. If you buy into the slick sales job the VR snake oil vendors put forth and can actually double your output per hour, you are making 6 cpl. What a joke!
Now that's the biggest crock I have heard yet!
The only reason anyone works is for money. If they have money, they usually don't work. Nobody is doing this for charity or putting themselves last for a lousy recruting job? Please! LOL!
Oh please, that's a crock. I have savings and husband, but I still

What a crock that is and I question the legality of it. nm
 
That's very, very basic MT! nm

I could see basic four, but all others? I don't

Basic MT course

Hi,


I have already been through a what you call a match box MT school and I feel I need more training but do not need a complete course again.  Do you know any place that offer a basic course in MT that is legit? 


Thanks,


MT


Basic course
MTEC has a basic course and a premier course. You can also go on their message boards and ask questions there.
Basic Course?
Medical Coding. Can you work from home. Do you have to have experience before you get a job? I know you have to have experience as an MT before you get a job.

Thanks
You listed the basic ones
Let's not forget about burping, yawning, coughing, sneezing, chewing/eating....... the list goes on. 
It is basic four using Softscript. (sm)
I will have to ask about the margins.  Thanks.
No, I do acute care/basic 4 ... so I don't know
about the radiology part, but give it a shot. They've gotten rid of some bad eggs as I understand it, and as long as I've been here, which is under a year, things have been fine.
This is basic medical terminology 101.

She WAS complaining about basic answers.
A direct quote from her post above:

I can't seem to get basic answers to my questions without it being an educated guess or noneducated for that matter!



There are a lot who also do not know basic English skills. Example: (sm)
the difference between their, there, and they're.  Affect, effect.   Basic skills of sentence structure.  Just knowing some medical words does not make you a good MT.
Acute care basic 4
Yes you can. I have to go at a slow pace because of arthritis in my hands and I still get a decent line count. Wish I had the speed I used to have, I would really be making it big!
all this to yes, yes, yes pertains to basic 4, not radiology.nm

What is the basic 4? Does it include op reports? NM
:
She wasn't complaining about getting basic answers - sm
She was talking about posts that assumed she was pregnant and looking for a job when she clearly stated that she was planning on a family in the future, and not currently pregnant.
I wouldn't do it. One of each basic 4 types or a few clinic
s
I wonder why they keep advertising if there is no work. Are you doing the basic 4 or clinic. nm
:
Following basic grammar is nit-picky? Maybe I misunderstood.

Which company offers the best basic pay for Proofers.
what is best matched in industry
Sorry dear. Been at this forever..test was not basic knowledge....
Some of it was stuff you'd never come across in 20 years of doing this job, not even once. lol
That one I know :-) That is your basic rate/line count earnings sm

before any differentials, bonuses, incentive pay, etc. 


I also have not received my cable reimbursement.  Guess I'll have to call and ask Debbie. 


I do ER and basic 4 work and make excellent money
NM
Basic word books, spellchecker, expansion software...$450/500?? nm
s
She includes ER in acute care, so I guess that would make it Basic Five :) nm

Putting out the word, AccuSTAT Wisconsin is hiring for Basic 4 - Ops. They have their webiste up

and now offering direct deposit.   This is a great company to work for.  It is not associated or affiliated with any other AccuSTAT nor does it have branches anywhere outside of Wisconsin.  The MTSO is very responsible, professional, and caring, which is something that you can't really find around anymore, including flexibility, something a lot of us look for, especially those of us with children.   There is plenty of work and you use  Softmed aka Chartscript headers and a C-phone to transcribe.  The dictators are great and very little, if any, ESL, and those do speak very good English.   I have been with this company now for 6 years, and I can assure you that I would not  think of working anywhere else.  Flexibility, pay on time, direct deposit, good dictators, and a responsible, caring, and professional MTSO are on the top of my list!



 


The basic 4's are: history and physical, consultation, operations, discharge summaries. sm
Radiology is not one of them. Sorry, but I don't have an answer for the strictly radiology question.


spelling
conscientious
drs spelling more and more
Well, my doctors have started spelling EVERYTHING.  I just shake my head and hope we are not gonna lose the account due to awful transcription.
Well with spelling like that, it's no wonder.
Advise? Intensions? Please.

spelling
I just want to clarify  that I appreciated the help with the spelling....I know that recruiters look at this site and I am human and make mistakes...nobody should be offended.
Spelling
I have an idea on who you are.  I have never had a complaint with anyone on my spelling.  I will not have someone put my work down because you were upset that I could not offer you a position.  I have worked many years in this industry and very hard.  My MTs will tell you that I am there for them all day and evening to help.  I will not respond back to you as I do not have time to go back and forth over an issue like this. 
Spelling
I have no idea who you are then.  I try to be very professional when working with the MTs.  I am very busy and try to make sure all spelling is correct.  Nobody has complained to me personally but if you feel that way then I am sorry you do.  I work 14 hour days, 7 days a week so my eyes at times I am sure get tired.  I was just defending myself as I put much time into my work and with my MTs who I am all grateful for. 
Brush up on your spelling
Memorize "conscientious" and we'll talk.
spelling and clarification
Did not mean to offend.  You're right, it was in bad taste.  I was in my Gone With The Wind phase today.  Sorry, but some of the responders need to find something else to do, like playing with their keyboards for a change.  What a lack of intelligence is on this board.  Hope it does not show up in the doctor's reports.  One of the best MTs I ever worked with was black and we dished each other all the time, in fun, in good humor, and in love. 
enough already with checking spelling and - nm

Thanks! I was spelling it wrong. nt

oops on spelling
OK, so I meant great, not gret.  Sorry 'bout that.
I don't like spelling police either, but...
she did not use they're correctly: P.S. They don't even advertise anymore on here because of they're reputation.

Should be 'their' reputation...
