FREEDOM OF SPEECH
It is called Freedom Of Speech, a RIGHT we have in AMERICA. And fact is fact, truth is truth. If you can back up statements, you are NOT liable. Speech is free. But to state lies as fact, then that is wrong. I don't see many of us MTs stating lies or making up stories about the abuses we endure. This is just another MTSO scare tactic to keep those in the know from spreading the truth which in turns affects the corporate livelihood and the continued use of slave-labor MT. The TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE, and the MT or MTs will prevail if not pushed/scared/threatened by the big money taking advantage of the SKILL of the MT who actually earns the wages they so despately wish to exploit. Stick to your guns, knock them on their rumps!
Freedom of speech doesn't really apply. SM
1. This is a private website and the Admin/owner can do as they like. It's their turf. Freedom of speech doesn't really apply on private boards. There are boards that don't allow discussions regarding politics, religion, etc. - and that is not a violation of freedom of speech.
2. The threads are USUALLY left alone until people start mentioning names, and then the entire thread is removed. I am guessing the Admin does not have either the capability OR the time to sit and pick through the posts one by one to remove only a few. If I remember right, the Admin has said that they will continue to remove threads that post names or flame out.
I do hope that makes you feel better....
though painting and plumbing is quite different than what I do.
Front end speech not so great either
I used to work for a rad group that went to front end speech. The lead MT is a good friend of mine still. They mostly have inside MTs who transcribe and edit. Some of the docs absolutely refuse to use it and then others tolerate it. The real crux of the issue in this particular instance is that they got rid of their 3 outside MTs and kept all of their in-house to edit the mess but had to increase their IT staff by 5. So now the docs who bypass edit must spend more time making sure the machine is picking up their exact words (which they miss a lot. For instance, the machine can't seem to change degenerate into degenerative no matter how many times they correct it) so bottom line here is the docs must spend more time being concerned with the report and they must pay more for the pleasure!
What makes a great coordinator?
I was wondering what makes a good coordinator? Like, what did she do that was different from the others? I've thought about trying to advance (not at OSi), and I'd like to be the kind of person that people say these kinds of things about? What did she do to make you look forward to coming to work?
GREAT! I hope all this gets something sm
opened up and investigated into. Sure needs to be!!!
Thanks so much!! Hope you have a great day too.
I hope it's great news!
We all need some good news anymore, LOL.
That's great! It gives me hope that my team
might get some accts like that one day. Right now, all our accts still have inhouse MTs. Hopefully, your situation makes for steady work for you and your teammates.
Good luck with your new job! Hope it works out great! nm

Thank you. That is a great, factual article. I hope the others read it.

Webmedx fits that bill, great company, great benefits, great pay and always on time. NM

I have Verizon Freedom too...may
I ask why it won't work for you any longer?
Anyone know anything about Freedom Type
I am getting gun shy with MT companies after 2 bad experiences and have just applied to Freedom Type. They sound very nice but so did the others. I am just trying to find out if anyone here knows of them and how they are to work for. Thanks.
Freedom Type
I love working for Freedom Type!! The owner is terrific and QA extremely competent. The work itself is fairly straightforward. I am glad to be part of this team!
Freedom Type
I have found these people VERY easy to work. I don't find QA demanding either. They pretty much just leave you alone to do the work. There's also a good support system. Lots of integrity with this company.
FREEDOM TYPE
Hello out there! Would anyone have any info on this company? Any info appreciated! They are running an ad on one of the other transcription sites.
TIA!
FREEDOM TYPE
Well thank you Very Much for your response!
Freedom Type - sm
Can anyone tell me how the work is done? Do you have a platform? Do you continuously type or do you have to save out each patient?
Thanks.
IC here too and love the freedom but
consultant that helps you know what to write off. There are so many write-offs that I don't see tax time as a killer.
Freedom Type
Does anyone have any information regarding working for Freedom Type? Thank you very much.

Does anyone work here or know anything about it? Archives are old. Please respond or email. They have no info on their website, only application. Thanks!
freedom to express
I agree with the above poster. If you can't vent to people who are in the field about your good or bad experiences, then this is not a democracy. Personally, I do keep a lot of mine to myself basically because I don't like dealing with negative people who will judge me. It stems from not having a very supportive family and not being able to express myself growing up. What is heaven for one is hell for another but either way, people need to express themselves and get it out.
In this profit-driven healthcare industry, MTs are under appreciated and in many cases abused by management and perhaps isolated and ignored by other MTs. We definitely need a support system and these forums are supposed to serve as a support system out of the work place where we can vent and hopefully be comforted by kind words. We work in an industry that refuses to acknowledge the fact that if it were not for us, they would not have jobs. We are the industry but many of us do not feel we have much clout in the way we are treated, i.e. coldly, indifferently and there-are-more-where-you came from attitude. Lets start cooperating instead of competing especially in the forums and let people have their say and try to embrace with kindness. We all need a pat on the back. 
How is there freedom as an IC if you have a set schedule?
To me, the trade off of having no medical, dental, paid time off, etc., it that I get to work when I want. Just because I work went I want, doesn't mean I don't get the work done in a reasonable manner. I keep my TATs and I transcribe more lines each week than anyone else on my account, but I do it when I want. One day I may work in the morning and the next day I might work at night. It shouldn't matter when I work as long as the work is back to the client in TAT. Luckily, I work for MTSOs that understand I am an IC and I have gotten rate increases. Guess I am just lucky. :D
I don't see it as a matter of MTs complaining, I see it as companies trying to get away with an illegal action. JMO.
Freedom Type
I have worked for them for a long time now. As long as you do your work and do your minutes daily, there are no problems. I have never had any issues getting paid on time. I would suggest you give them a try and make your own opinion.
Freedom Type
Does anyone have any information on this company? I can't find anything current and was wondering if it is worthwhile to apply. Thanks.
Why, it's freedom, Lara...
This is what freedom is all about. Here, women have freedom to flaunt their bodies to random men just because they want to, maybe because it makes them feel good about themselves because they have no self-esteem. Then, when men objectify them and use them for their bodies, they begin to complain because they are being objectified. Makes no sense at all....
Freedom type
Too much busy work for what they pay, lots of zipping files, sending and resending, logging your time and sending...I knew after a couple hours that it wasn't going to make me any $$$ to pay the bills, so I went with something else.
Freedom Type - platform? - sm
What is the platform like that Freedom Type uses? Hard to get used to or up and running immediately?
Axolotol vs Freedom type
Does anyone have any info on Axolotol or Freedom type. I have been offered jobs with both and don't know which to chose. Axolotol requires to use their equipment but they offer insurance (which I do not really need) Freedom Type says they are strictly IC status HELP
Any Freedom Type workers here? - sm
I've heard nice things, read nice things. Do you like working here? Do you enjoy the work? Set your own hours and workload?
TIA!
Freedom Type questions.
Do they hire IC? Do they have their own software, or can you use MS Word? C-phone or FTP? Are you able to have your own account, or do you get switched around at lot?
Thank you for any info.

anyone work for Freedom Type?
TIA.  pros or cons?? Thinking about them.
As much as I enjoy the freedom of working at - sm
home, I've come to detest the loss of so many other freedoms I'd taken for granted: Freedom to buy everything on your grocery list at Safeway, not just the few that fit in your budget. Freedom to FILL your gas tank, not just put in $5 and hope that gets you back home from Safeway. Freedom to take a vacation once in a while, and if you DO take a vacation, you actually get to GO somewhere, and don't just spend it in front of the TV set because you can't afford to leave the house. The freedom to put even a tiny amount of money into my savings account with each paycheck, instead of continually siphoning off what little is left in the bank to pay bills each month, would be nice.
When I worked in an office, I only had to work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, and I made 3 times what I'm making now, and I now work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week.
I was willing to trade a little bit of poverty and maybe have to work a few more hours per pay period in order to be free of supervisors breathing down my neck all the time, but honestly, I miss being able to do things on the weekends besides just work. That's gotten REALLY old.
Freedom Type - Anyone worked for them???
Does anyone know anything about this company? I am not sure what to think. Please help.

I work for Freedom Type. They pay twice a month. It's a very sm
pleasant place to work, all clinic. I love it there.
If you choose employee status, there is not that much freedom..sm
These days, most companies make you punch time clocks and want you to demonstrate 8 hours within a certain window, sometimes 12, sometimes 8 hours. With the larger companies, gone are the good-old days where your full-time status was based on your productivity. It's a shame. I work for Webmedx and would love to get out of this business, but now is not the time for me to do so. Good luck.
