True, but the monies go to the same place.

Passing through may have the wrong place...

I have been there for several months now and never been paid late.  The quality of the work I have been assigned is excellent, no ESL and no hassel about working for a line count instead of hours.   The benefits are acceptable.  I did have one friend who they hired who seemed to have not good luck with their program and she had to quit.  Overall I would give them a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5 and expect to be with them until something better comes along.  


Either way, you're in the wrong place. sm
Please read your own message. You made two errors when you neglected to take out two headers not needed, IMO. I don't mean to be rude, but you said it yourself.
sorry - posted in the wrong place.

Oops! Moved to word help board.


 


oops - posted in wrong place. I agree with everything QA said,not U.

oops, replied in the wrong place, please see my reply under the original message. nm

True. I'm not advocating that, don't get me wrong.
However, even the best of us have certain doctors that slow us down, for whatever reason, whereas other MTs might actually like that doctor. No, I don't believe an MT should get a free ride and skip all the hard doctors while others bear the load. Actually, I think the best scenario is when MTSOs don't allow skipping in the first place and instead see that MTs get matched up to work types, doctors, etc., that they can be most productive on. I also think they should offer incentive rates for the MTs taking on the difficult doctors and pay those MTs accordingly. That's a win-win for everyone.
Sorry, I posted this post under the wrong post
Sorry
Not sure this is the right place to post but have question regarding bid I placed on account - sm-

I placed a bid on a local account. I was contacted by the hospital for more information regarding my bid. I was told that they narrowed it down to two and that I was one of the two. The line rate that I had bid was 10 cents a gross line. I know for a fact that some of the girls working on that account are making 10 cents a gross line so I figured if I bid 10 cents a gross line that I would be lower than the current transcription provider. I have not been officially told that I did not get the bid but I heard through the grapevine that the same person who had it was awarded it again. I also know for a fact that some of the people working on this account have no clue what they are typing, that work is turned in late, that some days the girls get 1000 lines of work and other days are expected to do 4000 lines in a day and because they cannot do it, they just don't turn the work in and no one is aware of this because it is so mismanaged. I realize that a clinic/hospital has the right to reject any and all bids but with the cost of healthcare continually rising, doesn't the clinic/hospital owe it to somebody to have accepted a lower bid if it was going to save them thousands of dollars?? If I had underbid by 1 cent, it would have saved them thousands of dollars. I also was going to provide a call-in system at no additional charge to them. They do their transcription the old fashioned way with picking up and dropping off of tapes which means that I could have given them a 24-hour turnaround time. I was also willing to go with picking up and dropping off tapes if that was how they wanted to continue. Anyhow, I am very frustrated and once I know that I officially did not get the bid, then I want to write a letter to someone such as the hospital board. Any input on this is very much appreciated.


Can someone tell me where you post your resumes on here. I dont see a place for them.
:
Is there a place to post requests for positive thoughts?
I applied for a job that I really want and need.  The waiting game is killing me.  I know it's out of my hands now, but I'm so antsy waiting to hear back from them.  Please send me some positive job mojo thoughts.  Thank you.
not OP but I see nothing wrong with the post...

I think you are wrong about your post
I have been in many, many countries and never expected someone to speak English just because I am visiting. I spent 2 weeks in a totally nonspeaking country before- never could order grape jelly for breakfast- but I knew I was the foreigner, not them. To assume that all that have traveled feels as above, just not speaking for me. Oh, by the way, even if not able to speak their language, I have found a thanks or thank you works out really well, most seem to know that.
Your BOS post is soooo true! sm

There are so many newer MT's who don't know the facts where BOS is concerned.  I use my BOS everyday....  it elevates my monitor to just the right height. 


 


so true, but she could post on Job Seeker's
Board for a job not yet really available like some MTSOs do, and then give you the runaround when nothing is available. It's happened to me a couple times, now I'm suspicious about that.
I had my post under the wrong one. I meant it for the other one just above yours where sm

they said they are paid on production.  I saw yours and I did understand yours, but somehow I guess while I was reading it, I responded to the other one. 


Sorry about that!  I too made much more per hour as an MT even if I made $25 as QA, but I am vehemently opposed to QA being paid per line. 


 


I knew somebody would take this post wrong
This is the very reason I hate to post on this board....someone always takes a post the wrong way. Being an MT and Editor is a VERY stressful job and it just seems that as time goes on the pay gets lower, the hours get longer and nobody cares. You obviously havent come to the point where you are fed up with the whole industry yet but I'm sure your time will come. You don't have to tell me anything about stress...I usually put in 12 hour days at least 5 days a week.
You said a mouthful! All so very true! Good post!

Of course, I apologize for placing my post in the wrong spot!! :)

Is Error rate post on wrong board?
No responses -- just wondering if I should be on a different board?  Could you direct me please? I am new to this site. I own a small medical transcription service with 19 transcriptionists -- needing to implement an error rate policy and looking for suggestions on how other services have done this?  Thanking you in advance for any and all assistance!  D.
I see I spelled *grammar* wrong in my post above. *sigh*
Let me say it before anyone else! LOL
Wasnt' that post scary? Isn't it UNREAL?? Who cares if we type drugs wrong, right?
I could go on and on about the STUPID mistakes MTs make - perfect dictators - just stupid lazy mistakes - wrong drugs and meds entirely - happens all the time. Forget dosages.  If doctors had to rely on this typed garbaged (used typed intentionally - transcribed doesn't fit), they'd kill most of us as patients.  And some MTs have an attitude about it? So frightening. But lets' give 'em bonuses and incentives to GET IT RIGHT!
wrong, wrong, wrong. work is being outsourced because of $. period. not because of unqualified MTs

It's the only place I have ever lived.. Great place to retire or raise a family. Low crime rate e
living is pretty easy here. Low stress..
The position varies from place to place..
Sometimes you end up doing VR, which can be really easy or a real pain. Sometimes you end up simply editing files and all is good. Other times, you end up with more job responsibilities and hours than you ever wanted. All in all better than typing LOL.
I typed a report on the wrong patient as the doc keyed in the wrong info, SM
He later said the correct patient's name and I SWEAR to this day I made the changes but somehow the report when through without the correct patient and changes made. I still remember that incident.
Fantasia wrong??? Haven't seen the OP's CD, couldn't have been too wrong.

Should just post all their open positions in one post and only be allowed to post one of those a day

ROFL!! true, so true! nm

true, true but out of about 90 flicks....1 or 2...nm

true, true - but what you see as arrogance...sm

I think a lot of people go the extreme -


so, if I had to be one way or the other (being a humble extremist myself...*LOL*), I'd rather have too much self-esteem than not enough (been there, done that the first 30 years!!! *L*).  And I am a truly humble person, been recognized for just that.....but because of *been there, done that* - and all sorts of therapies (not drug therapies), some end up the other way.  Oh well, this was a fun couple of posts - so I thought.


Gave me much to chew on :)  Have fun!  


True but to say there are no good MTs not true.

ROFLMAO!!!! so true! so true!
Everybody sees it but her, though! I love it! Thanks for the giggle! ":^)
As far as it being wrong, well who defines right and wrong? On the
other hand, what if he were doing the same thing? How would you feel? I think that should answer your question.
You SUPPOSE it was wrong! It was way wrong.

You, well you have obviously put ME in my place
with that little lecture. Since youd didn't say anything meaningful to respond to in all that bandwidth, I won't respond to any of the content of what you said.

But just for your information, your little tyrade had no affect on the reality of what is going to happen, so get over it and get used to it.
I saw that place on TV (sm)
a lot of celebrities own there!
It is most definitely not OUR place to be
making phone calls or turning people in.  The doctors and nurses are trained to do it as part of their job.  If they suspect abuse, drug seeking, whatever, it is up to THEM, not us.

People are right when I have been told - not many nice people in this field. My first week coming on here to look for help and talk to other was this past week and you know what, you can have it. I will look for other places to figure out my problems with work and I suggest you look for help with your personality problems as my work problems do not require nearly the attention your personality does. Good bye and thanks for nothing.
I am not sure if you tried this place..
Did you happen to go into your closet and look for a reference book only to find the administrator of this forum smelling her finger?
I have never been to a place that does that and
would not shop at one.
Not every place is like that at all.
Not very believable.
