how 'bout this one?
I was reading through a patient's H&P and saw this:
"Patient is 73 years old, stool spry and lively."
Quite a visual, that was...
How 'bout going further than that, and
actually starting a UNION?
It could be 'USMTU' (United States MT Union', or maybe
'MTWA' (Medical Transcription Workers of America.) It'd be nice to actually put 'AMERICA' back in the name, (and Indians need not, and MAY not, apply.)
of course, I know 'bout as much as the docs do...sm
yeah, and that's why I'm here typing and they're out on their yacht somewhere, right? But I do try to diagnose, even did this when I worked for a doc in the back office. And sometimes I was actually right!
'bout time!
:
and soon new Sopranos...or how 'bout...sm
Extreme Home Makeover....that's my favorite show...
new Sopranos in March...new Deadwood soon, and new Carnivale soon and too bad they canceled SIX FEET UNDER but you can still catch the first 6 seasons in reruns.
I love that HBO....
LOL - how 'bout dysfunctional since
As well it SHOULD! 'Bout TIME, too!

how 'bout a camera on that spot?
How 'bout comparing us to PA's, RNs, or even doctors? (nm)
x
how 'bout Bay??? Or a local auction house, or
take pictures to local jewlers. (Wouldn't recommend taking the original on first visits). ebay might also give you some information re: comparables.
how 'bout a lovely gift certificate...nm
I hope they get put out of business. 'Bout time the
HMOs are ruining the health industry. Many fine docs have quit 'cause they don't like pencil-pushers telling 'em what to do. And you KNOW they're behind all that 'bottom line' BS that has driving our work offshore.
Glad to see the suit being brought against them, and hope that THIS time they get taken down.
Here's what I gots to say 'bout all diss stuff...
1. How long have you worked as a medical transcriptionist? 5+ years.
2. What certification have you received? None.
3. What attracted you to pursuing a career in medical transcription? The ad in the local paper and the fact I was penniless and willing to do anything...even if it was morally/legally questionable.
4. What type of environment do you work in (i.e. from home, physician’s office, hospital, other). Home.
5. What do you think are the most important skills a medical Transcriptionist should have? A sense of humor and ability to acquire sedatives easily.
6. Did some skills come naturally to you, while others required more practice? Always been zippy on the keys and always been willing to learn or teach myself whatever I needed to, to get a job done. I could use a hand with anger management 101 though.
7. In addition to transcribing medical reports, do you engage in other forms of business writing while on the job (such as memos, proposals, or progress reports, etc.) to clients, coworkers, or supervisors? Nope.
8. What do you think is the most difficult aspect of medical transcription? Continuing to do it despite it messing with your head knowing this line of work is steadily going down the globalization crapper.
9. What do you find to be the easiest aspect of medical transcription? X about it. :-D
10. As a medical transcriptionist, do you often need to collaborate with others to ensure that all the information in your reports is correct? I don't understand this question, so I guess I don't do whatever this is.
How 'bout we all shut up and go to work, loool
How'bout docs can't decide if patient...sm
is a He or She, goes between genders throughout the course of the dictation. (Especially with ESLs, who really need to get their grammar straight, much less their enunciation). Hate to send my loved ones to this doc...can't tell if it's a "he" or "she". 
Parents and children? How 'bout fishing, sports, his job, etc. nm

Curiosity piqued.....whatcha excited 'bout??? nm
.
'Bout gave me a HEART ATTACK, but no pay cute here.
Somehow I dont think they would cut MTs' pay 30 percent without some sort of advance notice, done in such a way that people such as me, who didn't get any email, would find out about it on MT Stars. That's why I don't believe it.
Try amphion

Amphion
The pay is a range from 7.4 to 8.5. I know they have at least one account with good MEATY clinic notes! Very nice co. to work for!
Amphion
Can anyone give me info on this company, good or bad? I just took their test. Waiting to see what happens. You can email me if you want. Thanks in advance!
AMPHION
I just started with Amphion and they are awesome!!!!!
About Amphion, it is unfortunately
their practice to harp about working mandatory OT and then suddenly there is no work. I will never work OT for them again They always overhire, too!
amphion
thanks for that info... now i jus gotta wait and see if they call/email for an interview
thanks again
I would say Amphion. nm

Amphion
I was offered an interview at Amphion - does anyone know what this consists of? Is it just basic questions?
TIA
Amphion
No - they are pretty detailed.
Amphion pay.
What does everyone think about Amphion's pay? I was offered a job there. It seems low?
TIA
amphion
I love Amphion. Have never worked for a better place. Everyone is very helpful and courteous.
amphion
Believe it or not, I make more now than I did at a really big national. I have really good accounts now too and that makes a difference in my line count. Also, they don't frown (too much) on overtime. Just my experience.
amphion
I don't mind the mandatory OT. For me it has never been a problem. I have great accounts and can average around 225-275 LPH even when I have to switch accounts. My supervisors have been nothing but accommodating to me and as I see (being a former manager myself) they deserve what they make and then some. I have been on early in the morning and late at night and my supervisor replies quickly if I have problems. I think, exAmphion, that it is time for you to move on if you are not happy. Amphion may not be a fit for everyone, but I am sure glad I found it.
Amphion does I know. nm

I just took a job with Amphion and was wondering if anyone else uses shorthand instead of EXText? I like shorthand better and was wondering if it is okay to put it on my work computer?
Thanks in advance for any help!
Amphion!
Does anyone think the way Amphion does things is time consuming - AKA demos/looking up doctors constantly etc.? There are many shortcuts they could use in my opinion. Just curious!
Amphion and ESL's?
Can anyone currently working at Amphion tell me if they have a lot of ESL reports? Just curious!
Thanks!
Almost never have an ESL for Amphion.
Can't even remember when the last time was.
Amphion and ESL's?
Do you type on a clinic or hospital account?
amphion
Amphion does not have a lot of ESLs, nor do they have a lot of work! They are over-hiring!!! We are sitting with no work. Rumor has it they have outsourced.
Amphion
Would anyone know if Amphion is a good company to work for?
My take on Amphion
I am a black female who took their online test. I have taken several MT tests and always do a 'select all' and copy and save the test in Word. I started this habit after one site froze on me in the middle of testing.
Anyway, after each screen I did the above and saved all of my answers. The first page asks you to provide your race...I did. After finishing the test and not hearing anything back, I called a few times before I reached the appropriate person. This person told me that they did not have an opening for my skill set at that time. I was certain that I did very well on the test. I asked this person if she could tell me if my score was less than adequate or what??? She said that they do not release the results of the test...just that they could not offer a position.
The next day, I had a girlfriend log on to their test site and put the very same answers I used and we also copied and pasted the typed dictation portion...everything was exactly the same except her race is 'caucasian'. They called her the very next day and offered her a position. I'm not making any declarative statement about Amphion...and am the last person to use the 'race card' issue. I found this to be quite interesting to say the least.
Amphion
I need to know anything you can tell me about Amphion -- QUICK!
not just amphion
From the looks of this board, and my own personal accounts, things are slow just about all over! I pray it picks up soon!
Amphion does
Amphion does....
Amphion employees qualify for benefits whether they are PT or FT as long as you meet the line requirement for benefits.
Amphion
No but Amphion does.
It's a good place to work.
Amphion (sm)
seemed to be mainly progress notes (told 70% of their work is that), and they didn't need people much on eves or weekends, when I work. Why the recruiter didn't tell me all this, I dunno. Pay was very, very low for the progress report work. Strict schedule enforcement. And they make you pay to ship you the computer. Neither of the 2 checks I received was correct.
Amphion
What do we know about this company? Thanks in advance.
Amphion sent us something. SM
We got our own CD copy of 2006 Quick Look Drug Reference that we can load on any computer! They also sent us a very nice letter and an Amphion note pad.

Amphion OT
Anyone else getting tired of the mandatory 1 hour every day. It is getting to be a bit much. I do not want to get burned out again this summer. Have to start thinking of other options I guess. We need a break. I know I should not complain as there are some of you out there with no work but every single day. Last year it was 4 months in a row. I refuse to do that again.
