on here and read on here probably just applied to your company that you're talking about! It's nice to know that there are still good companies out there. It gives me a little glimmer of light in my oh so dark tunnel that I've been stuck in lately.

You have to realize that there are some people that you cannot sm
make happy no matter what you do and that those same people take their negative selves to the boards and attack their latest company. It IS two-sided. MTSOs have as many problems with MTs as MTs do with MTSOs, but we are supposed to just sit back and be attacked without voice.

There are some people who have miserable lives and like to spread their poison everywhere they go. The problem is that they seem nice and normal when being hired and then their true self shines through within days or weeks.
I think people don't realize those records are THEIRS
They are YOUR medical records. My sister is a nurse, and I used to work for a medical malpractice attorney, and I was amazed at the errors I would see in the MR. Plus, my sister says - those records are yours. You are entitled to view your medical records any time you want. You can't view someone else's, but you surely can view yours, and NEED to view them for accuracy every once in awhile. When we moved recently, and my husband was given his records to take with us to a new doctor, I was amazed at the sloppiness of the records. I loved our doctor, but considering the fact that her staff took my husband's history, and listed he was allergic to Doxacillin (he is actually allergic to doxycycline) - made me think twice about whether or not I would ever return to that office. Pitiful.
I agree. I mean I realize you have to have some idea what people are doing
because of the work that has to be done but not to this extent.  You are right, I might as well be an employee somewhere.  She doesnt hire employees just IC so I expect she feels a need to rule them like that or she has a problem with controlling people.  It almost seems like that.  There are other vendors on the account so maybe it is greed to keep pushing and pushing to get as much as she can.  Who knows.
Now I realize why I never post on this board
Things get blown way up. It was just a question and only a couple just answered the question without judging me and getting into things they have no knowledge of. WOW I think you folks really need to get out more. !!!!!!
Didn't realize you were actually MISSING a day of work b/o people working O/T. What did mgmt say?
nm
Didn't realize it was catty to realize that from 1/18 to 1/25 is a week and nothing happened. sm
Thanks for being supportive and kind.
People post "I went to XX cause everyone says how

Maybe post your resume to let people
Other person needs a massage!
As of now, 275 people have read the post!

I think the title of post set people off...
tell your ex-coworker: no, you do not know of anyone hiring; if she asks again, tell her the same thing. Be thankful she did not ask to use you for a reference; then you have a problem.
sorry, post should be under 'all MDI people and no...)

I actually know a couple of the happy people who post...sm

I actually know a couple of the people who regularly post positively on this board about Transcend. I email with them quite regularly. They aren't management. There's one theory down the drain.


And, no, I'm not management trying to create a story, either, although you probably suspect that I am.


Try to accept that people can be happy and supportive of their employer. It's better to be part of the solution than part of the problem.


 


 


 


I don't think that is the fault of the MQ people. Anyone is free to post about anything at any ti
nm
Maybe it's because they post jobs and never respond to people.
Has anyone actually had them respond to a resume?
This is why people do not like to post here. I am not an OFFICIAL recruiter but sm
like to refer KS to others as I am so happy there. I was not aware that using the title was misrepresentation. It really does not matter. I am not going to waste any more time here. It gets very time-consuming and I am tired of feeling attacked if I post anything at all.
Well, yes. But my point is the OP said wanted people to post

positive experiences with Focus.  I've seen other posts like this where a person will ask about a specific MTSO and say something like just good things or no negative posts please.


It just strikes me as looking at the world through rose colored glasses.  How can you make an informed decision if you only consider one side of an argument?  It's just silly.  Why bother to ask any questions at all?  Just take the job and be done with it.  People take time to answer questions honestly here and try to help out fellow MTs so they don't make the same mistakes we've made and what thanks do we get? 


Pollyannas like the OP who just wants to hear the good. 


This post is true. Pay attention people. nm

People post that info all the time.

Hey, GP, some people post libelous information

about companies. I hope it's not you being sued. I don't know if you ever worked for TT or not but  I've seen some of the outrageous things stated against TT and I just don't know if I would believe some of those posts. I think they may be disgruntled employees taking out their hatred on a company that, until a few months ago, had great reviews. Then someone posted a nasty comment about them and it's been going downhill since then.


This board is for comments on companies, but not some of the nastiness I've seen against TT lately so, again, I say, it all started with one disgruntled employee and snowballed from there. If they are suing someone, they must have a good reason, don't you think?

Last word here - People here need to read a post correctly
I never told HER to suck it up. Why don’t you read postings correctly. Can you not make a distinction between me saying I JUST SUCKED IT UP as telling about my vacation and you saying something entirely different? What is the matter with the posters here? I am outta here for the afternoon. Everyone have a good time.
I remember your post several weeks ago..Hopefully, you still arent working for these people. I'm
sure they have been paid by their client. Why do they think they can rip people off. You need to post their name so that noone else bothers with them. Oh yeah, I think I remember now..It was someone named Joanna who asked for overflow help on podiatry, right? I am ashamed to admit that I submitted my resume. Luckily, she never called or I would be doing what your doing..Nightmare..
good guesses, but none of what you stated in your post....i rest my case though, you people
ARE TRULY NASTY.......nothing short of a JERRY SPRING remake here....i simply said that SoftScript was wonderful and so far, i've been told i'm a joke, insulted, called names, etc.......now lets see if anyone has anything nice to say......as if that were possible on this board.............
If 10 people vote to have post removed it is removed
automatically.  Look near the bottom of this post and click on the blue vote/moderate and go from there.  I've already voted, so need 9 more.  This person does need to be banned though and as they represent themselves as being SS management, then SS should also be banned. 
I think you all need to realize
That MDI would not have never been created if not for Liz and Sue McGrogan....remember this is a company that they built from scratch.   So without Sue's input MDI would not be what it is today.  Kudos for her and the $$$ her business has made over the years.  I don't care where you work you are not going to be able to please EVERYONE all of the time. It just doesn't work that way...Oh and by the way...I am not management and I don't even work for MDI...I work for hospital in Florida. 
Maybe you need to realize that they
most likely had to sell out because of their poor management abilities! Management is where all the troubles lie!
I'm sure you realize...
...that much of what I said was tongue in cheek, as there really AREN'T questions that will identify someone who has a personality problem. Unless, or course, the person is severely troubled and is speaking tangentially, or is using word salad, or has flight of ideation. I've come to realize that grandiosity is an uncommon, but workable trait in some MTs. Lol....

I appreciate your thoughts and wisdom on the topic. Hopefully others will begin to recognize that, short of tests that are designed to help identify problems, there isn't anything a recruiter can do to weed out the problem folks. To infer that there is someone bigger and better than a recruiter ("the MTSO")to accomplish this isn't going to be easy, or cost-effective.
Don't you realize..........sm
that many of these posts are from MTs who have experienced your hiring process nightmares first hand? You only make it worse for your company by coming on this board and calling us liars.

I don't think most realize that you don't have
to be consistent. I stick with it consistently.

It's not that hard to make this money. You're right - don't work for peanuts. Find the line rate you need.

It can still pay well if you're good at this work. Some people just aren't as good as others.

Thank you. I now realize that I am being
paid for links. Just did not know what they were exactly. I have been counting them as separate reports so I guess the end result regarding pay is the same.
I realize that, I was just saying...sm
There were companies I worked for that didn't require me to send invoices because I know that if the IRS were to question them, all they have to do is show them the contract that I signed as an IC and it saves their butts. I wasn't disputing.
Not sure if you realize...
but the 7th was a Sunday. Of course you were paid on the 8th.

I don't work for Cardioscribes, so it's really none of my business, but you're making yourself look pretty bad here. Banks aren't open on Sunday for DD, and mail doesn't run on Sunday...so you do the math there.
You might not appreciate it, but do you realize that
every day there are people wondering how they are going to feed their kids, that people are losing their houses, and $100 would be a major blessing to them. 
You have to realize there is more than 1
Medscribe, none related.
I think once you get into it you'll realize just

how little med-speak you know.   I have always soaked up anything medical, starting in junior high and terminology came very easy to me, but I have been in this business 20 years and I still learn new info all the time.   I may learn a new piece of equipment or new drug, or have a doctor from a different part of the country and he may use different terminology, not necessarily new, but new to me.  I may have a day go by where I don't have to look up anything, but I rarely have 2 days that I don't.  


The speed will come with practice.  I barely passed typing in junior high and never really typed aftewards until I started in this profession.  If I had to take a typing test where I had to type from a book I'd fail, but I can fly when typing dictation.  


I didn't realize there was such a
company where everyone is happy and no negative comments.  Point me in the right direction - I certainly would appreciate it.
You need to realize that about 80 pc of the docs sm

practicing acute care in this country are ESL.  It is what it is. 


I like them a lot better than the native English speakers, who slur words, like to play with the language.  ESLs learn one way to say it, and they say it that way every time.  You just have to get used to it.


glad you realize

what I am talking about.  I worked on it for 2 weeks.  I gave it my best shot.  My Expander was loaded.  The account was super-easy, but Meditech ran so slow I was typing faster than it could run and I was typing a word, pausing, typing a word, pausing.  I have worked on more than 50 accounts in my career and 10 or so different software systems.  I can say, without exaggeration, I would not work on that particular account if they offered me $25/hr salary.  I was so stiff with tension at the end of the day I walked like Frankenstein.


 


Thanks, I didn't realize there were so many. nm

Bet I realize who this company is - sm

Someone on here did that to me too, was back and forth, back and forth, had a confusing pay scale, just had another ad on the boards this past week.  Don't want to say too much here because I KNOW they come here although it is not a well known place. 


If it is the same place, I'd say run because I think the problem is just total chaos and disorganization - nothing to be a part of.


While I realize we all need a Plan B, I mean...
the same thing? Maybe we should broaden our horizons elsewhere? Anyone else thinking this way? Break out of the mold...you know??
that was nice of you, I did not realize
you would do that.
Oh they realize, and they were the first ones I contacted
XX
I realize...I just want a job that has a ton of work that
I can do as I please. There is one company I've been hearing about that has a ton of work and will let me go part-time, which helps (since I have a current job as well). I have little kids, it's just so hard...not what it used to be.
MODERATOR.......I realize all sm
opinions should be welcome here, but LMAO is just cruel beyond words. Are these the kind of posts that mtstars really want on here? Just cruelty to people who are down and out?

LMAO poster is a very cruel and scary poster. If you have any sympathy at all, could you please stop her?

Now I truly realize with that statement
Brillant, hehe. Associating with the group that is having those infamous tea parties- now the postings make sense taking up for her. I get it. What kind of nuts do you like?
Thank you. You're very savvy to realize
that if you are new you need support before venturing out on your own.

This thread has certainly made me realize how fortunate I am. I was pleasantly surprised today to inquire as to why I am getting per-paycheck incentive and not quarterly SE bonuses. They told me I get both. The incentives on production (up to 2 cpl) are on my checks and that I will get a quarterly bonus as well. Kinda of shocked me. I feel really lucky and I think that will help me stay motivated and keep at it.

I appreciate your positive note. Sounds like you'll be right up there with the best before too long. Then I can say, "I knew her when..."! LOL


I didn't realize it was the "law" to
board. And besides, Jayne may not even be your name.

The law suit is going just fine by the way, and we will get our pay owed to us, it is not just me in on this.
You do realize what MQ is doing right now is exactly what Spheris does. I still think they may drop
SE but hope not but Spheris does not have IC or SE so if there is a plan in the works MQ may just have employees.
I didn't realize that was a problem
Let me see if I can edit it. Thanks for the tip-off.
I realize this also, but MOST newer computers..sm
do not even have the 15 pin serial ports (game ports) any longer. I had purchased a 15 pin game port pedal and used it less than 6 months because my sound card went out and I had to get a new one. I could not find ANY that had a 15 pin game port any longer and ended up having to buy a whole new pedal (usb) in order to work. USB is what is mostly used these days. If she needs a 15 pin footpedal I will gladly sell her mine... been there and did that.
