Um that was dumb!
I did not have to wait a year to take a vacation. I would just take it without pay. You get PAID vacation after a year....duh!
I think I'm really dumb, but can someone

explain to me how you add things to shorthand, when I open it, there are already some things there, but how do add something like sob for shortness of breath and have it save so you can use it??

thats DUMB! above you say
you are at Futurenet and say work is low...
They think we are dumb
So if you take into account their low per line compensation, below industry values even though they try to sell it as otherwise, and then add in the ridiculously expensive cost of their benefits, AND then add in your cost for this type of insurance..

Per hour Id say youd be making.. minimum wage at best?

So for minimum wage, at best, they have the expectation of quality excellence when those of this caliber can make double anywhere else, andthen when they get garbage, they then dont want to be responsible for hiring it.

I will say it again

They have taken what used to be a great and professional place to work and taken it straight to the bottom.

This is a dumb question but how do you
access Imail? Without going to medquist.com? I thought it was mail.medquistmail.com but something is not registering. Thanks in advance. Just can't get my fill of giddy up and let's get going emails! haha.
This might be a dumb question, but - sm
did you give a full 2 weeks' notice and work it out?  If you did then they might hire you back.
This might sound dumb to you....
but what company is eScription & MedTran affiliated with? Thanks :)
YOU are not making them look dumb! They do that to themselves! nm

Sorry if this is a dumb question...
I've worked for only companies that do transcription from good old voice files or microcassettes. Can you explain to me what speech recognition is? And please, no mean comments about how out of touch I am! =)
This might be really dumb question, but how did you
nn
dumb question here (sm)
What in the world is E & O insurance?
The 3 times...yes 3....I was an dumb enough....sm
to work there....all QA came from India, the most ridiculous QA I had EVER experienced.  It got to a point where I would NOT even pay any attention to QA that was sent to me. 
Not a dumb question at all...

Editing can be the best and the worst job you will ever have.  I derived so much satisfaction from teaching and mentoring the transcriptionists.  I provided excellent feedback and did my best to help them become better MTs.  On the other hand, it can be aggravating to the core.  Some MTs appreciate the input, thank you for it, and put it into immediate practice.  Others, however, are the abusers of the system and don't care about the quality of their work and send through the same crap over and over again, knowing that the Editor will have to correct it or risk a negative QA review him/herself.  There were times I felt as though it would have been easier to delete the whole report and type it from scratch rather than go line by line, correcting multiple errors in every sentence.  Editing became a bad deal when the MTSOs figured out how much money they would save by paying the editors per line rather than per hour or salary.  The editor was expected to perform all the same duties, often including reformatting or retyping the entire report and correcting all the repeat account specific errors, WHICH, by the way, have been explained to the same offenders over and over again.  The editor earns a fraction of what the original MT does for the same report but often invests just as much time in the report.  Also there is no compensation for feedback sent in e-mails.  Like I said, there are days you will love it, but there are days, also, where you will sit in your chair, steaming and enraged at how you are being taken advantage of by your company and the MTs who abuse your knowledge and time. 


Anyone dumb enough to pay Excalibur
deserves the lesson they are about to receive. WAKE UP! SMELL THE SCAM!
just plain dumb!
I have a couple of docs on my primary acct. who start every report with the patient's name and SS#. I can't believe an MD would be that clueless! There definitely should be some laws about those things!
This is a dumb question but how do I access..sm
For the Record? I have never head of it and when I Googled it nothing came up. I want to check the ads there. Thanks.
Editing - dumb question here
I've never done editing, but a few questions have been going through my mind as I read about it on MTStars. Why is it less net money than transcribing? You listen to the transcription and read what is typed - do you have to fix a lot of wrong words? Do you have to type long comments to the transcriptionist? Would love to have comments on the good and bad of editing. Thanks -
Not to sound dumb, but does FN - Futurenet?
xx
Yeah, I was dumb enough to fall for that one!
