Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

At any time it was understood sm

that I would leave the room at the patient's request.  I had to have HIPAA training just like the nurses or anyone else there.  I was under oath to not disclose any info about any patient and I took that seriously.  Most patients did not mind me being there and if they did then I left so they could discuss in more private.  I always had to type in whatever was discussed in the room afterwards so I still knew what had went on.

    yep, I understood what you were saying!

     


     


    It's not fun to go through. I was so stressed the whole time. I often wonder if all of the transcriptionists went through the same thing at the place I worked.  I could understand if it is a huge deal or something, but that was out of hand.


    Best thing I ever did for myself was move on!


    I don't think you understood ...
    She said that she was let go and is not under contract now and he is still calling asking questions, even though she is not working for them. I believe she should charge for his services also.
    The way I understood the OP
    it IS her company as in, she owns it. So, if that is the case, she absolutly has the right to demand that the company name, logo, or anything associated with it be taken down. Especially if it is plaster over a website that displays explicit sexual pictures. It is not about whether or not a person is homosexual, it is about the appearance of the company.

    If the employee wants to plaster naughty pictures of herself, whatever. To each their own BUT, if it could possibly portray the company in a bad light, she should absolutely not put the company name out there on her personal website. It's bad taste.
    At least you understood him.

    I understood what you
    Some people just want to jump to the worst conclusion.  I understood exactly what you were saying.  You are trying to earn less then $900.  Why people are so judgmental about other people's circumstances is amazing.  Talk about self-righteous.
    Actually I never understood what was so special about them
    I wouldn't care one way or another if I never heard another Beatles song again
    If all IC's understood what that IC means, maybe...

    there wouldn't be such a problem with the quality of pay for MT's.  An independent contractor does NOT need to accept 5-6-7 cpl for their work and does not have to abide by MTSO's demands for overtime, etc.  An IC tells THEM what she/he will do and how much she/he will charge the MTSO for their services.  It's your business and you set the rules.  I know this won't happen on a large scale now because too many people are desperate for the work and will agree to work for next to nothing.  Too bad, because if all IC's set their pay scale like they should have in the beginning, the MTSO's would have to pay it in order to get their work done and would have to charge their clients enough to cover the costs. 


    Well, I am not positive, but the way I understood it--sm
    was that the bill *strongly encouraged* physicians to upgrade and make paper medical records available on some type of electronic system so they could be accessed by computer. I do not necessarily believe that all doctors are going to be *forced* to use the EHR system for transcription...just so the records can be accessed on line by any physician anywhere. that is all. but that is just my understanding of it and again, I could be wrong. Sounds like she was just trying to scare you! She better be careful, maybe they will sign a bill allowing for robots to take over all nursing professions too. lol. j/k.
    What is not understood here is unlike some others,
    I am not in the situation to where I have to work, do it now because I have just worked so long, could retire, really don't want to do that so I am satisfied with my salary- even at the 8 cent straight and 4 cents editing, bring home every 2 weeks over $1000 and that is fine with me, no bills, no young kids, no worries.
    Okay. Doctors that cannot be understood. Does

    That's how I understood the sentence...
    Units being the subject. I was QA'd today. I was marked off for spelling out HCTZ which is on the dangerous abbreviation list. I pointed that one out to my supervisor.
    WE understood her just fine

    You're just making yourself look really silly now. 


    Yes, thank you, that's how I understood your post.
    No specific reference to newbies was made.
    I've never understood why some people consider...

    certain jobs to be more important than others.  The old cliche "Any job worth doing is worth doing well" comes to mind. 


    I believe that a person what does for a living doesn't have any bearing on how valuable that person is or how important that person is.  Some of the most wonderful people I've ever known don't have what some might feel are "important" jobs, but they are wonderful people nonetheless.


    And, some people who have what some might consider higher class jobs (boy, I hate that outlook) are some pretty miserable human beings.


    People are people . . . and their worth isn't tied to their job in my book.  I want to be a good person, and what I do for a job doesn't have anything to do with that.


    If a store manager is a good person, doing a good job, he's  to me. 


    I wish some people would get off their high-horse! 


    I started posting as a former bank manager in a thread about consumer credit counseling.  It seemed relevant at the time. 


    True, you understood me perfectly. (sm)
    And some education in communication.  Apparently, they are not looking at the whole picture and if they stepped out of the business they would be able to look at things from outside of the golden cuffs.
    I never understood why NASCAR is the biggest

    to watch cars go round and round and round and round for hours, days, weeks, months, years.......I get the gambling side of NASCAR but I don't get that it truly is (and IT TRULY IS!!!) the biggest spectator sport out there.



    Haha...I read it once and understood exactly
    what she said. She didn't get the face lift.
    Understood. Sending a smile your way for a better day. nm

    Believe it or not, only now I understood what you really meant in your post,
    you meant that she should pose as an Indian, then she would be hired, that's funny!
    I don't add it to the beginning as the noun is understood, especially if it a verbatim
    account I would not change it.
    I've always understood a CC to be an exact copy

    I hope I understood your problem correctly:
    You have on the back of your computer only 1 USB port for your footpedal, no serial port.
    Your footpedal has a 9-pin plug, a male one.

    What you need is an adapter that has on 1 end the USB plug to be put into the USB port on the back of the computer tower and on the other end a 9-pin plug (female) for your foot pedal.

    After you connected these, you have also to set the right footswitsch option in your computer:

    Click
    control panel/footswitch settings/USB port.

    Hope this helps.
    No, you're not missing anything. I understood it to read the same thing.... nm

    Working full time at home with small children is hard but part time works great
    is almost impossible. You will either have to work when your spouse is home or for only a few hours during the day and then more when they are asleep. I work part time at home and my kids (2&5 now) have done very, very well. They are great kids, very well behaved, don't get into much. I stop working to check on them/give them some attention every hour or so while I work (5 hours each afternoon or so) and they get all my attention in the morning and at night. It has worked out beautifully for us.
    Yeah, our choc. lab does that from time to time - makes it interesting!- nm

    Cannot legally require you to commit time to them as an employee and then not pay you for that time.

    full-time in office/ part-time at home
    I currently work full-time in a physician's office and have started part-time online. My hope is to eventually go full-time online; however that will be done the road for a single mom with a son in college. My suggestion would be try to type part-time for a MTSO and see how that goes i.e work and money with a decision down the road for ultimately being home all the time. A guaranteed paycheck is always a necessity for me. Hope this helps.
    I work part-time hours with full-time pay...
    I made over 26,000 this year...
    I work a full time and a part time, but not sure about 2 full-time...
    My hubbie is disabled and I am the only one in my family working also, so I fully understand. You will not have a day off at all working 2 full-time as that is going to be the only way you will get in all your hours. I work one job in the mornings from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. and the other from 5 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and do have off one day a week, but if I had to get in the extra 15 hours to make the other job full-time I am not sure how I would do that other than lose my only day off. Also, make sure you have your account specifics in front of you at all times because you will get yourself confused as to who is what and having notes will help in that area. Good luck to you, as it is possible, but forget about your house being clean, having any social life, etc. Feel free to email me personally if you just need someone to talk to, as I have been where you are and still am.
    Maybe they will. Give it time. It takes time to set up links.
    OSI, Precyse, etc tell us more.
    full time, part time, statutory
    newly defined full time...

    newly defined part time....(which is an added classification)

    I believe statutory just was not mentioned because there is nothing new about the definition of statutory.
    full time/part time/statutory
    The definition of full time is new.

    There is a new classification called part time.

    I believe statutory was not mentioned merely because that has not changed and they do not receive PTO/benefits.
    I work 1 full-time, 2 part-time....nm

    its a waste of time yet you take the time to respond?

    **yawn time for your bed time old thinker*
    Hippie??  What pray tell is a hippie?  Im not judgmental..I dont care what another is partying about or with or whom they are with..Im not a cop or the warmonger in the White House..far be it from me to judge another..You, however, by your post seem to have grown old before your time..I recommend you just graze on your back yard grass and leave us **alive ones** alone..**yawn**, time for you to go to bed now, hun?  Bye..bye..old person..
    I do believe she is good enough, and has more than proved that time and time again. NM

    part-time or full-time
    I'm curious. Are you FT or PT? Thanks.
    4 week's time or 4 weeks' time
    Does anyone know this one. I will see the patient back in 4 week's time, 4 weeks' time or 4 weeks time. Can't seem to find this in any of my reference books. Thanks in advance.
    1 full time and 1 part time for now
    I am still pretty new, so that is all I am taking on. I may take on more after I get more experience, if possible.
    I never denied that I need a break from time to time, but
    I was just stating how I took her post and the fact that I am worried about how my son will react since he is already getting quite upset. But, yes, any parent SHOULD be able to admit that they need a break from time to time...we're only human too! :)
    even ISPs have to do maintenance from time to time--sm
    and most do this during the wee hours of the morning when MOST people are sleeping and not using the internet. They need to upgrade their services and virus protection just like the home users. This is probably what occurred.
    I recently requested time off for the first time...
    (3 days off) and gave 2 weeks notice but was asked by my boss to give more notice next time.  I thought 2 weeks was decent, but next time I will give at least 30 days.
    Do we enter each time there is a new prize, or just the one time?

    thanks.

    Virtually never. Time spent doing that is time SM
    that could be spent typing. Instead of stopping to listen, then typing to catch up, I scan AHEAD of the dictation as I type, looking for upcoming questionable areas.
