Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

I have been unable to get through to anyone. I can't reach

anyone in Oregon either. I expect they probably flew out to Queensland to be with Terri and the kids.  I've tried to send email but it's bouncing, so I checked the zoo website and it's been down more than up. I'm mailing out a letter tomorrow but it will be at least 10 days before she gets it and the staff roll through everything first to look for the nickname so that could be a while, too.

I think it is probably someone unable to have a full thought because
this job takes over our minds LOL!!
Unable to bring the web site up that you have
check to be sure that it is spelled correctly. Thank you.
I am unable to find that anywhere on the site...sm
can you post exactly where one should look for this? thanks
That is what caused me to be unable to transcribe anymore.
I have to do QA now and it is a good thing I like QA, but I cannot do anymore transcribing due to the mess it has made of my back and to my hands/wrists. I also did minimally 2200 lines in 5 hours and have done as many as 3200 before. Those were the good ole days. Do it while you can because at that rate, it takes its toll on our body.


Can having a bad gallbladder make you unable to lose weight? ~sm~

I need to have my gallbladder out.  I had an ultrasound that showed that my gallbladder is completely filled with gallstones.  The symptoms started about a year ago and it took me a few months before I realized what was going on.  When I eat certain foods, I get sick and extremely bloated.  There is also constant pain that does not go away for hours.  I try to avoid all the foods that I am aware make me ill but it is getting really limited as to what I can eat.  I have been eating toast for breakfast and salads for both lunch and dinner.  The salads have no meat in them, are basically all vegetables and I use a vinagrette dressing.  I thought that I would lose some weight by being forced to eat this way but it is not happening.  Does anyone know if having a bad gallbladder causes you to retain water (especially with the bloating) and be unable to lose weight?  I am scheduled for surgery the second week of July.  I never thought I would be looking forward to having surgery but I am for this.

they are already impossible to reach
18,000 lines and your rate increases by half cent, whoopee.  MQ is a complete joke, a bunch of greedy, phony liars.  This whole business is in the toilet and i'm just sorry I didn't start school for a dif career sooner to be out of it NOW.  I'm gradually having to cut down on spending because my rate of pay is not up with the times, severe hand pain day after day, condescending technicians and supervisors.  I feel trapped.   
How do I reach them? What city are they in? Do sm
you work for them?
If that were me, I wouldn't be able to reach the desk soon! nm

2000, and I usually reach or exeed that. sm
Big money, with bonuses, of course.
Yeah, I'll bet some MTs with bad QAs reach the
which unfortunately includes an answer to the blanks. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if sometimes they don't purposely send back the same thing, just to annoy a QA who picks on them too much.
The point obviously was that one sure way NOT to reach a supervisor is posting
on this message board anonymously. Give me a break!
It's not hard to reach $4000 a month as
Someone with their own accounts can pull in more money than an MT working for a company or another service. In California, I know of an MTSO who charges 16 cpl and the clients pay that willingly. Where I live, I couldn't get away with charging that much. They just won't pay it here. However, I do have my own service and I bring in $3000-$3500 on average. Some months it's less, some a little more depending on the workload.

Also, when you have your own accounts, you become quite familiar with the doc's dictating styles, can build up a huge library of Expander entries, and create normals or templates for the physicians, which boosts your production rate quite a bit.

I know I make more money with my own accounts than I would working for someone else but trust me, there are plenty of headaches that go along with having your own service, too, so it can be a trade-off at times. There are lots of times I think I'd gladly take a lower line rate to get rid of the headaches!! The only thing that stops me is the flexibility since I can work any hours throughout my day as long as I meet the agreed TAT. Since I have two kids, that's pretty valuable to me!
same here but hubby got me a stool to reach the top, hehe..nm

Glad I'm not the only pokey one. I have a terrible time trying to reach 150 lph.

This info would probably have helped reach your goal this morning! LOL Thanks! nm

Ditto and also dictate a sentence, then "scratch that", etc. --want to reach out and throttle

Actually, we put all entries in a hopper and pull until we reach that number. That way it is fair.

Wow, you'd be the popularity queen at the state penitentiary! Reach for those stars!

YOU, Busy MT'ing, are one of those that fail to reach mature conversation when you mockingly add

I like what I have...Hourly PLUS incentive after a very easy to reach minimum line count.

Is it harder to reach your daily line count on acute care or clinic?

All I know is it caused the company I work for to be unable to do all work due today and the rest
