Doesn't sound like a brown nose to me...

In Reply to: You've got brown stuff on your nose - - SM

but rather a very grateful employee. This board is very discouraging to me. A lot of whiners who are not good medical transcriptionists and then turn it around to make the company they worked for look bad. Actually, it can be quite entertaining when I am bored.

You must have a really brown nose then
That woman wasn't nice to anyone unless there was something in it for her.
If I was such a brown nose,
I would not have been forced to quit. Trust me, I was NOT one of their favorites! :)
Your nose is brown.

You've got brown stuff on your nose -
you know they monitor this board constantly!  You talk to them all the time about it.  Let's see how long it takes you to relay this posting.
or if you're not related you could brown nose your way
.
Hmmm-methinks your nose is brown.

You sound like the brown noser that

Your head is so far up her butt you look like her!


doesn't sound off to me
I ask for opinions on here all the time and am happy to share my experiences with different companies to anyone who asks including the current one.  It is hard to find good help and good companies that respect it.
Usually all QA comes from within, so that doesn't sound
right to start with.   Unless they hired a new recruiter very recently they don't have a man - maybe it is from the TransHealth side?  
That doesn't sound too bad to me . . .
I pay $684 a month for myself and 2 children.  I just finally got my DH accepted as well and don't know the new premium yet . . . but I'm scared to death to see what it will be!  I'm sure we'll end up being over $1000 a month.  Health insurance stinks.
doesn't sound like an American sm
company to me. The ad is worded to differently.

Doesn't sound good
I did not know they outsourced to India. No wonder they are paying the Transcriptionist so darn cheap. People in India can live off making very low pay. I better look elsewhere. Thanks for your advice.
Doesn't sound crazy
Since you have been at the hospital in your area, try and pick up one or two doctors that have a small clinic or stand alone practices for your own account.  Then build from there.  That would help supplement what you make from the national.  There are still IM's, surgeons, derms and psychologists/psychiatrists that use tapes and need someone.   Tell them about your hospital experience and that will help.  I do 300 to 500 lines per hour since I have been doing my docs for so long.   Good luck.  Patti
Thanks!...Doesn't sound so good! lol n/m

Wow, it doesn't sound so great . . . LOL
I appreciate you taking the time to answer these questions, but I am very curious about the down time pay. I don't really want to work for them, I want down time pay. Unfortunately, due to a bad arm I had to give up about two-thirds of the work I had a year or so ago, and I have revamped my setup to reduce my pain so that I could keep working. Don't get me wrong, I do not mind working and would do any work that is available during the time I was required to be on, but mostly I wanted to know how much the pay is when you're not working but required to be on and, something I did not ask before, how they figure the time worked versus the time waiting for work. I assume the system keeps track of how long the transcribing takes you and when you are not working??? I know you said that it varies and you don't think they are hiring just so that they can pay down time, but I am still curious.

Thanks again!
Can I ask when that was? It doesn't sound like them and I have been there 2 years. sm
I know that they lost a few to VR in radiology but have replaced the accounts. One hospital did not even tell them until the day they moved to Powerscribe, which was horrible of the account, but KS took care of all of us. Might be worth revisiting them if you are looking.
Hmm..that doesn't sound good. Thx for sharing. NM
f
No, doesn't sound legal. Someone erred...
...on their part, and they should fix it. You might want to check with your State and see what statutes you can dig up to shake their tree if they don't realize their mistake and fix this. Very odd. Best of luck!
Doesn't sound like the Transtech I work for...NM
nm
Doesn't sound too promising .. thanks for the info. nm
z
Thank you - that doesn't sound good. Continuing to look ......nm
xx
I agree. Definitely called them. That doesn't sound right to me either.

Phew...! Doesn't sound good! sm msg

It sounds as if the owner loses her cool!  Not good!  Thanks!


You're using her computer? Doesn't sound
If you truly are an IC - I would send her an invoice.  She will need your soc. sec. # or tax ID for reporting purposes - that's pretty standard. 
What company offers this? Doesn't sound famililar. nm

Doesn't sound too bad to me with 7 months experience. I have 26 years' exp and get 11.5. nm
nm
Doesn't sound very American for starters. I think you know where this is headed. nm
s
I'm so sorry to hear this. It doesn't sound good. I hope you
nm
That doesn't sound very encouraging, does it.? Will have to wait and see I guess :(
x
Cbay doesn't sound good. Glad I left
the Q when I did.  I really hashed over that decision, but I am so glad I did.  There will be a lot of people looking for work very soon.  I wouldn't wait around until all the good spots are filled.
Oh, there is something on the end of your nose.

Once again the childless pay out the nose sm
and the company caters to the family MT, who wants to type between diapering and nursing and feeding hubby.  No wonder this field has gone down the tubes.
snarf - coffee up the nose

Sorry it was like that BUT thanks for a great story to cheer up a gray monday morning!


 


let's see..10 fingers...10 toes...one nose..sm
and maybe even my backside..I was speaking for myself as well as the others who have thought your posts single-sighted, single minded, and rather on the sour grape side. I also did not see any name calling, though, so you were wrong about that part.
Yes, she has her nose up Amit Chattergee's butt big time.
I have proof that she offshores.  I also have correspondence where she deals with Amit, owner of MTIndia.
And what about times where they say 'use my normal' for a 3-page nose
s
I give her a couple more months and she will take a serious nose dive. She has to keep replacing he
and start all over cheating them out of money.
AHIMA is not a regulatory body. I read da-nose and think it is brilliant.
Billing practices have long been an issue in this industry, but I guess I don't see where you are coming from on the impending regulation thing. It has been a long week for me and looks to be a longer weekend so my brain cells are a bit drained, lol.
Are you sure the sound quality was the platform and not your sound card? Also, I don't know of ma

services that pay "down time" if the platform is inoperational.  ALL software has its share of problems.  It's the nature of the business.  When you were hired, did you sign a contract accepting the terms regarding PTO?  If so, what could you possibly complain about since you did, afterall, sign the agreement?  Did you have a good relationship with your QA Editor/Team Leader that you could ask questions about account specifics?


My understanding of the VR is that it has been in development for a number of years not to be released until the fine tuning was complete.  It would seem to me, and I am in no way affiliated with Transcend, that provided that VR is good then earning a line rate as an Editor would be beneficial, if that's how Transcend is planning to compensate.


All in all, I would say that if anyone is interested in working for Transcend or any service for that matter, make sure to ask the services Recruiter specific questions.  If what you're hearing sounds good and makes sense, go for it.  If what your'e hearing is not all that you thought it would be, move on.  However, you MUST take what you read on forums boards with a grain of salt.  While some posts regarding various services may be legitimate, others may not be.


Good Luck!

Brown & Meyers Anyone?

Does anyone have any comments/experience with Brown & Meyers - good or bad. I would love to hear about this company. I have been offered a position, but do not have much info on them. Thanks.


Brown & Meyers
I have been with Brown & Meyers for almost two years and it has been a great experience. I do not have to work a specific shift, have been given a raise when I asked after a year and am never bothered with phone calls, e-mail, etc. They are very personable, helpful and willing to give me any accounts I may ask for. They use the Sten-Tel platform, which probably isn't the greatest, but it is easy and works for me. I have never had a problem with paychecks- always correct and on time. I would definitely recommend looking into working for them.
brown & meyers anyone?
has anyone worked for them or know of them?
I like Brown & Meyers
They are very nice and communicative.  IC position.  Very happy. 
Brown Nosers....exactly
You just hit the nail on the head! Why else would she be on here? Brown nosing to show her management how she does a great job in defending the company.

If she is typing for her own accounts on top of account management duties, she must be short MTs. Hmmm, maybe some of the MTs are starting to see the light.

I use to work for CyMed/SPi as well. It is a joke that all of the brown nosers seem to still stay around; and the ones that speak their mind are let go or pushed out.
Brown & Meyers
You spelled that incorrectly but yes, I have heard the same thing.  I wouldn't work for them for any amount of money. 
brown & meyers
i worked four weeks for them. tech was nice, but the training sucked. uploading/downloading was a pain. they told me i would be busy busy but i sat around waiting for work. pay was 8 cents a line. if u wanted them to edit your work, they deducted it from your pay.
Brown & Meyers NM

Love it, brown something perhaps?

Brown & Meyers
Does anyone know anything about this company, pay, workflow, platform, etc.?  Thanks for any and all info.
Happy DSG'r = Brown noser

Is this Sten-Tel/Brown&Meyers?
