OOPs - thought you said the MQ.

Oops, thought I was on Main Board.

It does not say "only"
x
Yes, but you seem to be the "only" one
The OP asked which to go with, and I say Axo is probably more user friendly.  KS may have the rep of being nice with loads of work, but working in a hospital platform is very difficult to make productivity. 
For LOL, re: "only" radiology MTs
I'm so sorry that all of you are going through this, but it doesn't help to start sniping at each other. I wonder if there is a way to unionize MTs? AHDI is great, but really...they don't do much for us as professionals other than standardize the way a sentence should be punctuated, a gross oversimplification, I know. This if you've got a pulse and a computer, you've got a job attitude that seems to have been adopted by most MTSOs has gone way too far. We are completely overlooked and under-appreciated, invisible employees. They cut our pay, send our work overseas and then look at us and go, Whaddya gonna do about it? I'm beginning to feel like a coal miner, or a mushroom (kept in the dark and fed bull flop). And for LOL, I don't think the person who posted the it's only rad MTs that have to worry message meant anything nasty by it, I think it was an attempt to allay some fears, albeit not a very successful one. I've been an MT for over 20 years and I wouldn't know a radiology report from a hole in the ground. Keep your chin up!
I "only" make $1.15 per report and have made over $62,000 this year so far. I only work 8 hou
5 days a week and pick up one 4-hour weekend shift a month. It depends on the account, your company, the report length, your expanders, normals, etc. I made $1.43 with Edix before I switched and even though I took a per report loss, I make more money in the past 2 years than ever with Edix. I rarely run out of work, which is a HUGE factor. I know that the company I work for is both praised and condemned on this board, but I am happy at KS.
"ONLY a profession of predominantly women would call the other women crazy for wanting the basics
If this were a male-predominant industry, I can guarantee you the companies would be offering more or else they wouldn't have any workers. Men don't stand for the stuff women do. I don't understand why women do not think they are worth a fair wage, decent benefits, and a little vacation time here and there. Many say this is just a part-time gig while they raise a family. Does that mean your time is less valuable? I just don't get it.
I actually thought of that. I even thought of trying to go back to MQ part-time!! (sm)
I just wonder about hours at a second company.  I work days (and some nights) with this company.  I have a set schedule but with the no work situtation I've been on the computer at all hours of the day and night.  Right now I have no work, so I would love to jump on at a company #2 and start working.  Do you have to have set hours at your company #2?  Thanks for the suggestion.
oops

I meant Transcription Solutions


Have read archived posts about their software being not user friendly.  Is this still true?


Oops. SM
Out-sourcing comes up, not offshoring.  What does outsourcing mean? 
oops! LOL
Let's start our own company!!! ... or maybe the OP will take pity on us heehee
oops
Guess I should also know how to SPELL hyphenated, huh?
OOPS! You did it!
The S should be capitalized and DAH isn't a word. Oh my!!
OOPS
OOPS...sorry...was in too big of a hurry. Guess that if people were perfect spellers...we wouldn't need spell check programs FOR THIS PROFESSION. DUH!!!
Oops!

Sorry! I didn't see further on down that moderator had said no posts on OSi for some reason. Guess I missed something that was deleted.

OOPS
Sorry, I meant Superior Global Solutions!!
Oops. sorry

I believe that a should be an e in privilege  


I am sigining off and going to bed. 


Oops P.S.
IF you are concerned with burning bridges (always a good idea) and/or will need them as a reference, then perhaps you want to keep a lower profile than I just suggested ;) You can still refuse the severance pay and signature, but keep the sarcasm to youself.

Smile.


oops
and, unh, duh, I used to be able to spell the word but . . .
oops me again!
I know, should be sounds.  I forgot my S.  I forgot to ask, does anybody know where the Axolotl company is located (state)?  Just curious. 
Oops! My bad! Well, whatever...nm

Oops!
I meant this is the only way to get my foot to the right job by going back to school part-time. So many colleges offer online courses that you can do from your home, but of course you have to go to the actual school to take your tests like in math, etc., so you do not get caught cheating. It's really worth completing your education these days. I figured my daughter will be able to come home on her own in about 3 years, so I should be able to find a decent job by then rather than making 6 or 7 cents a line as an MT. I cannot get anywhere with that kind of money.
oops
oops - I think I posted that backwards - you should make more doing the 55 line - sorry!
Oops!!!
My fault, excuse..
oops!
I thought I was posting to Me about the expectations of big business . . . sorry

Oops

oops...sm
Sorry, I missed that (lead) part.

Nah, when someone says they will call soon, I would keep them to their word. I now work for a company who types for the hospital I typed for, so I'm good
Oops!
I meant to say if you ARE a professional.  In other words, the owner is very nice, but a very poor communicator and a bit scatterbrained. I accepted a job with them and the emails went back and forth for almost a month trying to set up training time. She kept forgetting what account I was supposed to be set up on. The platform she uses is great, but she does not take advantage of it fully and does not use the doctor or patient databases, so you will have to look up each doctor manually and enter the information manually for each and every letter you type....such a shame, and definitely not worth the money.
