I wonder if this is a small shop? Surely someone here works for them.

Did you do any of the STAT work they had?  If so, may I email you?

Anyone know a company that works with small pool of doctors? Tired of so many doctors nm

Shop around
before deciding. I had worked for Transhealth and left as I got tired waiting around for work and was not going to be working outside my scheduled shift to accomodate them when there was work as I do have a life. Even if they paid 10 cpl it is not worth it, not especially if you are stuck on an ESL account as you will be pulling your hair halfway through your shift.
It's okay, I shop at Target enough

to make up for you and probably 3 other people boycotting.


I did hear about the Salvation Army thing but honestly, I agreed with their stance on it. 


Do you have anything you could take to a pawn shop?
My son used to pawn his electric guitars, then on payday he went and bought them back. Then when he finally matured, he pawned them and just left them there for good.
surely they could tell
If there was a major MT or Editor error, all names would be copied on the email, including the lady at the facility, so surely when she would see names like Sringamurthy Jappathana she'd know it wasn't somebody local...lol
Surely you don't think they mean anything by that
statement! Cherry pickers will be tolerated and the only people who suffer from it are the ones getting the crappy reports they skip. Statements like those are placebos, make you think they care or they're really gonna do something when all they really care about is the client and TAT.  Long as it gets done, they don't care how or who. 
Medscribe SWEAT SHOP
Hey thank you so much. I have been looking for someone to validate my thoughts. They treat me like dirt. The pay is crapola. They have all these little rah rah emails and they also email everyone with an angry and cross manner when one person does something in error. I am making zilch in this dump.
For 7.5 cents a line they want you to do impossible dictators like Laredo Medical Center where you can understand nothing and if you leave a blank they get mad because there is too much in editing. They call me when I don't make the line counts and berate me UGH.

They could check your history. Best not to shop on E-bra
When I am waiting for work to come up. My PC is on the next desk.


Where can we shop for supplies that aren't imported? sm
I really don't mind paying a little more, have always supported our local merchants, but just can't find everything my son needs for school, etc., locally except at Wal-Mart. I don't buy his clothing or shoes there. What major retailers sell USA products? TIA.
No, I neither shop at Walmart or go to Disney World
Would not be caught dead at either place. Neither do I buy Levi or Lazy-Boy products since they moved to Mexico.
Well, surely you don't expect Spheris to
learn from the lawsuits the Squid is tangled in, do you? If your MTs can't get an accurate line count, then an accurate line count cannot be billed. Any time a company acquires another company, there will be changes (I'm not saying good changes or bad changes, just count on changes).

I worked at an MTSO who seriously wanted Vianeta but passed on it because of the line inaccuracy issue as they did not want their stellar reputation in the community to suffer. (smart move).
Surely they pay incentive as well if it's a national.
Doubt they are responsible for your every event such acct assignment, workload. I would imagine they have mgmt do that.

Lighten up. She was just trying to give helpful advice to some.

Ever tried counseling? lol

Surely you are not in this business. Just a passerby?
wow
If this was repeat occurance, surely you kept last

I surely hope you will not approach sm
your MT career with that attitude.  As a newbie, your willingness to accept constructive criticism and advice will be what makes or breaks your success.  Something to think about.  The post made a VALID suggestion and if your response is to put up your dukes and run away, you'll never make it in this field.
Bout ready to take this computer to the pawn shop
and cancel the internet - then find a real job again that pays hourly, has a sane schedule, gives me a yearly raise and a paid vacation.  Get paid if there is work and don't have to hear We don't pay for downtime.  Not kidding either.   Might enjoy socializing a bit again too. 
Surely you're smart enough to figure it out...
If companies show the MT's work, that would pretty much be comprising the privacy of patients.

THINK ABOUT IT.
surely they knew your secondary was that low - why did they crosstrain for it? NM

Wow, you surely are a lucky girl! Please tell me the VR system,..sm
platform and company.

In 'real life' there are ESLs that are not allowed to do VR, because the VR system cannot make them out and are left on straight transcription.
MEDSCRIBE jacksonville, turn your house into a sweat shop

They are brow beaters.


pay stinks


 


It stops at the end of the month you quit. Shop around though, I found insurance
for $193 a month for me and the kids. Limit is 2 doctor visits each for a year, but since it is only temporary that is fine, lots cheaper than Cobra which was doing to cost me over $800

Surely had hoped for Christmas gift from TransTech again this year, but . . .

not.  Has any other TT'er (MT) gotten a Christmas gift of any kind yet from their employee -- Transtech ?


I guess I shouldn't have expected one, but I did . . . . 


Good luck to you MT-- you are surely a sad woman and I will pray for you dear s/m
If you really think about it, you are not allowed to use contractions in MT so my aprostrophes are not needed. There is no QA patrol on here so your little nitpicking about aprostrophes just goes to show that you have some sort of mental disorder and you really need help.

GOD BLESS YOU DEAR! And I mean that from the bottom of my heart. Get some help before you do harm to yourself or someone, please.
The platform is Word. Their program works with Word but does not change how Word works. nm
The benefits just changed the first part of this month. I don't have them but I remember them being reasonabl for a single person. Family and spouse was not reasonable in any way (in my opinion).
But if no union shop, no union representation
You can have a trade group represented by a union, as your husband is, but if he doesn't work in a union shop (company), the union can't represent him at his place of employment. Look at nurses, for example - there is a union for nurses, but the vast majority of nurses are not union members, because their places of employment are not unionized. So it's irrelevant to the majority of nurses that there is a union to represent them.
What do you consider small or big? nm

Small MTSO

I am a small MTSO and I have two part timers that work for me.  I try to allow them to make a good living but there are costs of running a business.  I do the pick up and deliveries, I print, I buy the paper, toners, etc.  I do the invoicing.  I do the customer service.  I do the QA, etc.   So when I make 2 to 3 cents a line, that is sometimes barely $5 to $7 an hour after gas, paper, etc.   I keep my line charge reasonable -- 0.11 to 0.12 and that allows me to pay 0.8 cents per line.   But if my gals use their brains to use word expanders, templates, etc. they can make $16 to $24 an hour (200 to 300 lines per hour) which to me is fair.    I pay them on time often first and sometimes wait for the check to come in.    But you guys we do not make a lot when subcontracting out.   But if a document is 400 lines I make $8 to $12 for the report and that is before all my expenses.  So we are not jiving any of you.


 


 


Small companies
Please list the names of some small companies. I need to get out of a big national but don't know where to turn. Thanx.
To Small MTSO

No suggestions here except to keep up the great work and appreciation for your team.


I agree, don't waste your time on the ignorant's on this board that think everyone is out to screw the MT...it's a sad fact, but there are some who just have such blackened lenses to see through.  It sounds like you really appreciate your team and there are more employers out there like you, really there are.


OR - sm = small message; nm = no msg NM
nm
oh by the way.....*S* small message...sm

did YOU write the acronym book?  HAHAHAHAHAHA -


Well, I've online over 10 years and on boards/forums and SM means small message versus NM meaning no message versus LM meaning long message.


To each his or her own *S*  It's not etched in blood.....*S*  Hope you have a better 2006.  *S*



Not small, not huge. When I was there it had 350+ MTs.

Three small accounts that I do by myself..sm
I do not do any type of billing for the accounts, just do the work like regular work that I download from the company...so I think that would be a good reason for a raise.  But, I don't want to say anything to make them think twice otherwise because these accounts that I have are really good.  Does that make sense? 
Must be a small company
It is a small company. Sorry if you're not impressed with my work. It works for me. I could do over 1,000 if I wanted to, but this suits me. I have another part time job that supplies me with income also.
and that is only a small part of the
problems they have. Communication is nil, rude people to deal with, and total chaos.
Small companies not for me

I have worked for both and I think that small companies are very, very particular. Not that that is a bad thing, but  ZERO room for error (everyone knows perfection is impossible 100% of the time).  So if you can QA at 100% every single time with a national, a small company would be perfect for you.  In all of my experience my lowest QA score was a 99.2 with nationals.  Small company just made me feel extremely inadequate.  That is one thing about communication with a small company, you can start feeling attacked for very (and I mean very) minor things. 


 


HTH.


Not MDI-MD - they are a small company
