Find A Doc Website
This is one I use all the time. I like it because it lists the docs alphabetically as well as by speciality.

Is there any place (website) where I can find
Looking for somewhere to keep up to date on new information or somewhere that has practice tests, etc.  I don't need the CME points.  I just want to keep my skills intact.  Thank you.

Did you find a list at this website?

I went to this site but when I clicked on the download link there was not a list there.  Does anyone know how to find this list or one similar to it? 


Thanks


Any MTSO find a good place for their own website?

I recently received a quote for a local web design company, and it was close to $1,000! I don't have that kind of money. I would just like somewhere to tell a little bit about myself and the services I offer to Physicians.


 


Thanks!


I think the Lia Sophia is the name of the company..I just checked out their website..nice things! n

Find a better company

I think it's funny that you would expect to see the company's line count charge for the customer.  Do you think every business lets their employees see what they charge the consumer?  Anyway, sure we should have accurate line counts.  Guess what?  if you work somewhere that isn't giving you one, leave.  I did.  When I worked at Spheris, I could type all day and never reach my goal.  EVER.  And I was typing 200 min of dictation at my other job and doing 18,000 to 20,000 lines a pay.  I knew something was not right.  So I left and found a new job.  Now I work for another national.  I have no problems, NONE with my line count.  As a matter of fact, I find it easier to get my goal there than ever before. 


We don't have to unionize to get what we want, we just need to keep looking for a better job.  There are some out there.  Especially if you don't go into it looking for something perfect.  There are problems on any job in any career. 


Any company you have to pay to find you a job
is probably a scam.  
If this is the company I think it is you won't find better.

I have interviewed, tested, and have been offered positions with at least a dozen companies in the last 2 years and none of them had anything better to offer. 


The paragraph issue is really a non-issue to me because over a period of a day it isn't going to make enough difference in my line count to buy a cup of coffee.  I hate long reports too for the most part, it really depends on the dictator.   I try to make a game out of it.  I take a deep breath and just start typing and it seems to really make it go faster.  After I finish a report I might allow myself to get up and have a drink, read the newspaper, or surf the net for 5 minutes.   Since I download my work I can for the most part decide what order to do the reports in.  If I have a couple of long ones and a couple of short ones, I'll alternate them.   If TAT is close I'll just type them in order though.   When I get tired I get up and move around even if it is just to put a load of laundry on.  When all else fails I set the alarm and take a 15 minute nap and go back at it.   You can ask your supervisor, or the one assigning work, if you could have a different mix.


It sounds like you are just stuck in a rut more than anything.  


If you do decide to look elsewhere I suggest trying to work the new job part-time for a couple of weeks before giving notice, so you can see if you've made the right decision.   Like I said, if this is the same company I work for in FL you won't find anything better. 


 


 


Could you all help me find a company that does not need
I am a soon to be displaced acute care MT as the account I transcribe on has moved on to another company.  I would really appreciate any input about the companies you work for that do not need cable or DSL and how well you like where you are, etc.  Thank you in advance for your time.
You can if you find the right company (sm)
certainly more consistent than selling on ebay. It is also good for a single mom because you don't have to spend money on childcare and you are home when your child(ren) are out of school. I say keep selling on ebay and take the MT course too!
find a new company
I have 10 years' experience, I make 10 cents per line.  I make about 3500.00 a month before taxes.  You could do much better somewhere else.
Where would you find a company...sm
paying 10 cpl when they're all trying to get by with 6-7 cpl?  When I started with the Nationals about 4 or 5 years ago, the going rate was 8 for novices, 8.5 for experienced and 9 for acute care or 3rd shift. but the greedy MTSOs are cutting our pay to the bare bone,  year to year, penny by penny.  So at this rate, in about 5 more years, we can expect to make 1 to 2 cpl.  When will it stop?  When we make it stop.  I know we can't all go on a collective strike and some of us need their jobs since they have no other recourse.  And the Suits know it.  Woul any other industry, even dishwasher or floor cleaner, cope with this type of abuse??  The answer is in us.  They need us more than we need them
Keep looking, but find a smaller company.

The smaller ones have better accounts, useful macros and expansions, decent line rates, nice supervisors/owners, but probably IC with no benefits.  I don't care about that as long as I can crank out the lines in a small amount of time.


Find another company, SoftScript is
They lie, steal lines, expect you to work 24/7, and will call you on your weekend and beg you to work. You will have no life. They also have 97%+ ESL.
You are not going to find a good company
didn't pay. Well, SS will work you to death and with the ESL's you will have to work 24/7 just to make enough to buy 10 gallons of gas. Does this tell you anything?
You just need to find a company hiring
x
IMO, you need to quit and find another company.
We experienced MTs need to refuse to accept that kind of paycut to work on ASR, which in most cases requires just as much time and effort, if not more.
you might find more info through the company board here.
or did you try that? I'm not awake, tring to help, tho.

I find it unlikely this company will be in business much longer...
that is just horrible.
It may be worthwhile IF you can actually find a company now that pays extra for it -
I let mine drop after 6 years. It got to be very costly keeping up with the continuing education credits because for me it meant nearly always having to fly some place to get them, hotel, food, etc. My 2 cents...
If you search the posts, I think the Company board, you will find that the monies paid to AAMT

for CMT/RMT cerifications are being used to offer "India" rates to workers in India to test for their CMT/RMT cerifications. I REFUSE TO BELONG TO SAID ORGANIZATION AND I WILL NOT CONTRIBUTE MY HARD-EARNED FUNDS TO HELPING INDIANS GET CREDENTIALED.


I googled it.
It's getting great reviews!
I googled it & here is site sm

There one here.  It's almost $30.  There are probably more reasonable ones.  This is just the first one I saw. 


never mind, I googled her.....I remember her (nm)

Wow, Aeron is $$$$. I googled, and I think that one is way out of my budget.
It looks like a great chair, tho.
I Googled it and the site wasn't
much help, didn't give any info on how the program works or what it really does. I emailed the company and asked a few questions, but haven't heard back from them either.
i googled and a bunch of crap came up

I just googled a little bit and see what you're talking about...
and I downloaded the zip file myself to see. Are you sure you extracted them to the correct place? I got 2 dll's and 1 ini that, according to the Readme, are supposed to go in the C:Program FilesNCH Swift SoundSCRIBE folder.

I guess if you did all that and it still doesn't work, the next step would be to contact NCH.

It sounds like you may have already been that route, and/or through the forums, though.
I googled and found that LazyZBoy makes one, and many other

I googled for external sound and came up with Soundblaser......
I went to their site, it was not expensive, I can't remember exactly, but the box is small, very easy to install, and the sound is absolutely wonderful!
Thanks. I'm adding to my shortcuts. I Googled and saw different spellings.

I googled it and Word 2000 is supported

I googled this and found a definition of a wav. file.
WAV (or WAVE), short for Waveform audio format, is a Microsoft and IBM audio file format standard for storing an audio bitstream on PCs. ...  It is basically the format in which an audio file is saved.  There are all sorts of audio formats such as dss., wma., etc...Hope this helps!!

Haven't had it, never heard of it, but after I read your post I googled it, and lots of info avai

go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
That's not weird
nm
You may think I'm weird. . .
But I find MT very relaxing. I used to work as a human resources manager and had a phone to my ear all day and people in my office complaining about their supervisors, complaining about their employees, and just plain complaining. My job had TONS of variety - like when one of the companies I worked for had a big layoff and I had a suicidal employee in my office telling me she was going to kill herself because she was being laid off. Frankly, you could pay me all the money in the world and I wouldn't go back to that. I think MTs great - more money would be nice, but other things are important, too.
another weird one..

I didn't transcribe this one, but a doc I worked for was telling us about this man in the ER with a gerbil (s/p?).... you know the little furry animal...stuck in his rectum.  Apparently the gerbil was put in his rectum using a paper towel cardboard tube-thingy and got stuck behind a gas bubble in his intestines!!!!


I don't know what ever happened to that man, but I hope he went for some serious counseling after that...


This is weird...
There are no menu keys at all, no view. I clicked on the small window and it made the page smaller. Now I have my menu keys, my tool bar, everything. When I enlarge the page back, then I lose everything again. If I keep it small, everything is okay.
Something that happens weird (sm)

When I'm typing along with my Instant Text along the bottom I'll occasionally (too much for my tastes) lose letters, especially when I type a period...I'll lose the last 2 or 3 characters of the previous word.  It's really bizarre.  I have no other problems with IT when typing in Word all by itself or any other program, so I assume it's just a problem when I'm using the ExText with IT.


I like going back into the old documents.  It takes a bit sometimes to load different things but it's good overall.


So weird

Its so weird, this happens to me too..


I wonder why though?


That's her and she is really weird...
So does this mean that now we have to be leery of posting on here as well in order to avoid even more scam artists than usual?
