Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

I have not worked for a doctor yet who cares about BOS.

Posted By: sm on 2006-10-11
In Reply to: good luck getting hospitals/clinics and the med communityto - accept it!

It is the transcription company owners who sell it not the doctors or facilities.  None of my docs want anything to do with the single space after a period.  They all still accept the 1-10 spelled out too, amoung other things.  They do not have the time to nitpic over stuff that the AAMT group is so fixated on.  They want to practice medicine and be given well transcribed, neat, correct documents and that is exactly what I do.  I say if you want to start your own...go for it!  Transcription companies will tell their Transcriptionist to do it their way anyway and someone out there might like your ideas better!

I have yet to actually even find a doctor that cares about people! All they are interested in is mon

I venting as a patient! No doctor cares if I live or die--could care less in my eyes!!!

When I worked for a single doctor, I
kept them a year. With the MTSO I work for now as an IC, I have to keep them 30 days.
I worked in house in a doctor's office and it was the same for me...
and I had to answer phones, make copies, et cetera, basically was an MT/secretary...and I hated it...I am making much more money now working at home part-time...
No, I've worked in doctor's business office.
That is what the insurance company allows, not what they dictate.  Who is to tell the doctor how long he can sit and talk with his patient.  It is up to him.  True insurance companies get together to decide what is the appropriate amount for the doctor to "charge" for a service but I've literally seen where the doctor sees the patient all of 2 minutes after patient is worked up by techs, but they still get paid for that visit.
I know a lot of people it helped (I worked in a doctor's office) SM
BUT you have to really want to quit before you start it. It doesn't make you want to quit - it just helps you w/ the depression and the withdrawal symptoms that come along w/ quitting. Good luck.
Call your doctor - this is not a doctor forum! nm

B. No and E. Who cares. nm

No and Who Cares.

Who cares really...I mean is this.....
really important?  I can tell you that my life is no different now than before.  I agree with the other poster...if it will pay off the mortgage or make a payment then I will care, otherwise, NO!
who cares, he is...

Who really cares, Jay? sm
Are you the same Jay who used to be so vocal AGAINST the AAMT and offshoring and you are now their biggest fan?  Well, that says a lot about you, doesn't it?  Cheerleader #1!!!  The AAMT failed it's biggest test.  Defending and protecting the AMERICAN MT.  Then, let's have the annual convention in Hawaii, when a lot of us, Jay, are making a lot less money than we used to. We don't have the money to go to Hawaii, Jay.  Get the picture?  At any rate, whatever floats your boat.  The AAMT is bogus.  Maasalamah!!!
Nobody cares who the MVP is..
Take this nonsense somewhere else...PLEASE!
yea, right...NOT...he cares nothing about u...nm

Who cares how old it was
it is STILL happening!!!! That's the point. You just don't get it, do you. Well, you never will then. Good bye! Have to go!!!
Maybe it's not where OP is from. Who cares

Nobody but us cares.

And if nobody cares.... sm
Why should you? :D
Every company is different -- I worked FT for one as an employee but worked a split shift - sm
So I never took breaks. I would work 5 hours, break for about 4 hours then do another 3. Another company I worked for did not care what hours you worked (IC) but wanted a min. amount of work each day, 500 for PT and 1000 for FT-- BUT they paid you by how many lines an hour you put out, the higher the lph the higher up the scale you made per line in pay; they have since changed everyone to a flat rate with incentive. But bottom line, if you are an IC it does not matter what hours you work, though many ask for a schedule and ask you to stick to it, they just want you to meet line requirements daily, i.e. 1000 per day, 1200 per day, whatever it is.
awwww who CARES?????
That person probably has 10 kids of their own.  Who cares????  If you can support 'em pop 'em out like a friggin rabbit for all I care.  That poster just needs some lemonade and then they will be happy, happy, happy.  Do you remember the happy, happy, happy poster?
Dont believe me, who cares?
How silly you are.  Dont believe me, I dont care.  MQ has been sold.  I will post again once you get the news from MQ.  I will post *I told ya so*.
I do acute cares and can do 250...
not sure what you mean by copy and paste. I have text Expanders and "normals" that I use that really help, they are built into Chartscript or it may be called SoftWeb and you can add all the shortcuts you want. I am trying to learn the abcdz system of short cutting.
Who cares if you will be perceived
as a troublemaker?  There are as many of us involved in the association as you who are disgusted with the status quo and my suggestion is that you ride it out and run for office and move the problem folks to the back burner.  Believe me, it can be done.  Women, unfortunately, allow themselves to be herded and if you don't like that notion then you have to stay and do something about it.  Things don't make sense if you don't make them make sense.  If your state organization is running amuck .. report them to Modesto .. talk to Peter Preziosi directly and tell him straight out that you want action.  I think you would be very happy you chose to talk to him.
Who cares what solicitors think!
And if they think you are cranky, then maybe they won't have the nerve to stop by!! Solicitors are so annoying!!! I say, get a sign, "NO SOLICITING!"
who even cares anymore what the BOS says?
not me!
Ok. GET A LIFE! Nobody cares about JLG.

Oh brother. Who cares?

im sorry, you think Obama cares about MTs?
yea, right. im sure all the politicians do, but newsflash Obama as a president is NOT healthy for small businesses

bottom l ine there needs to be a standardized MT industry, but nobody steps up to the plate to create it. The general public has no idea you think? You think they'd like it if their medical records were being done overseas? not so sure most would... they just dont KNOW it. who fights for us anyway?
No one really cares what your typing.

Don't you get it and even if they did they wouldn't know what they are reading anyway.  Furthermore, there is something called minimize!!! It's on your screen, check it out some time, it actually minimizes the screen so no one can read your important secret information. 


It amazes me how people can jump on here and just judge away and sit back and think they are just so above everyone else.  No one cares, get it?


Thats the biz.. part of the reason why not everyone can or cares

I really do not like Oprah or her show! Who cares? !

Love Elton... Who cares (sm)
what he does in the privacy of his own home & life? I never saw such narrow minded people. Remember the story about glass houses... Watch someone may cast a stone to you! Lets just hope nothing you do will SHOCK anyone. Just disgusted with this conversation. Be happy for him. Life is short to spend it alone!!

That's the problem, nobody cares about anybody else anymore. SM

I'm not an idiot.  I work for the paycheck and I know the MTSO's are in it for the money.  Yes, business is business, but let me tell you, I've had a boss like you, Minnie.  A boss that could care less about her employees personal situation or how it affects their job.  She didn't want to know anything about her employees except that they can do the job.  She wanted us to punch the timeclock and type 8 hours at full speed and to heck with everything else.  So what if one of us was a single mom trying to make ends meet.  So what if someone had a death in the family and was distracted.  So what if another had just gone through a divorce and was having a little trouble feeling motivated.  Who cares?  She didn't.


And not Minnie either, apparently.


That boss who didn't care about me, got the bare minimum out of me.  When work was out of TAT and she wanted people to volunteer for OT, do you think I volunteered?  When someone called in sick and she needed someone to cover the weekend, do you think I volunteered?


Now I have a boss who truly cares about me and all her employees at the hospital I currently work for.  We love her and she loves us.  She wants to know why we're having a bad day.  She sends us cards to make us feel better.  And when our production falls off, she is always understanding.  That does mean she is a push over.  She knows when someone is taking advantage and she is fully prepared to discipline if the occasion calls for it, but she knows who doesn't take advantage and is willing to give and to those of us she trusts, she extends to us her kindness, compassion, and understanding.


And do you know what?  All of us would do anything for her because she would do the same for us.  I work OT whenever she needs it.  I have changed my shift to working until midnight because she asked me to and needed the coverage while someone was off getting surgery.  In turn, when my step-nephew was killed in a car accident, even though he wasn't a blood relative and didn't technically qualify for me to take bereavement leave, she let me take it anyway because I needed to help my sister and brother-in-law (it was his son).  And when my daughter has a field trip, she lets me flex my hours so I can go.  And when it was basketball season with my son, again I was able to flex my hours so I could make all of his games. 


Do you see where I'm going with this?


People should care about other people.  We should care that someone is a single mom and is struggling and we should offer our support and help if we can.  And the MTSO's should care about their people.  Happy people work harder.  If you show your people you care about them, they will work harder for you because they want to and they appreciate you.


Minnie, if I worked with you or for you... well I wouldn't work for you long, let's just say that. 


Nobody cares? Did you take a vote? I am interested.

Show of Hands, Who Cares?

I think you belong on the "other" board.  They love to look/talk down to people there.


Advance is irrelevant. Who cares what they say?

No one cares. I have told many people SM
their medical reports are going offshore and NO ONE CAREES. They look at me and smile, like I have just escaped from an institution. They don't give a flying fig where their reports are done. They don't even read them.
That's pretty sad...almost every doc I know cares about people.
They usually get out of that *I'm doing this to get rich* phase during their residency.
exactly.... you think the average person knows? or cares?
im wondering how the average person would react to knowing their records are taken care of overseas. Do you really think it matters? Or does it just matter to us because it is our jobs?

I hope more people do care, but how are they even aware of it? How many people actually even look at their medical records, ever?

This is an extremely frustrating time and I wish that there were more of us that could make a difference, but I'm very, very pessimistic.
I got up early, worked during naps, and worked when DH got home.

You have to be disciplined to make yourself work when baby is napping instead of maybe watching TV or doing housework, etc.   


I might also go the route of having a teen come into your home, or either trying a mother's morning out program at a local church/daycare.   I've been home since my youngest was born and he has never been in all-day daycare, but I did have him in a mother's morning out program 15 hours a week at a local church.   It didn't help a lot with my work schedule because I had an older son in school and was a room mom and tutored other kids, but that might be an option.  The only problem with the mother's morning out program is they are around other kids and tend to pick up every germ.  I finally took my DS out of the program because he stayed sick.  You were supposed to keep them off if they had green nasal discharge and I did, but no one else did.  Every time I got him well after 2 to 3 days back he would be sick again.  Other than that it was very good for him because he would not have had a chance to be around kids his age otherwise. 


Not that anybody cares, but my husband's birthday is today and he's 41.

I'm not preaching. And anyone who cares is still paying attention. SM
If you don't care, then you'll be without a job soon enough.  The rest of us will try elevate medical transcription while you work for pennies and compete with the Indians.
Disgusting is an understatement but nobody can/will stop it. Nobody cares but us is right.

How can they have "English typing skills" but not need to know how to speak English?  How can they understand it if they can't speak it?  Mind boggling.  And how do they get away with it?  Because it's cheap and JACHO doesn't care nor does the organization formerly known as AAMT (new title without "American" and "Transcriptionist").
