You get what you pay for. Your attitude speaks volumes. nm

2 years experience and you passed the CMT? That speaks volumes about the AAMT... SM

I've been saying it for a while now.  The CMT test is not an assessment of an MT's skills and knowledge medical terminology, pharmacology, anatomy and physiology knowledge you are, but how well you've memorized the BOS.


Well, congrats anyway I guess, for memorizing a bunch of useless rules and regulations that will undoubtedly change in the next five years when a new "updated" version of the BOS is published.


Low work volumes
Hi all! I work for a transcription company (which I won't bother to name) and for the last 2 months they have been very low on work such that when I start my shift in the mornings there is no work and I end up having to wait a couple hours until more work is sent. I am wondering if low volume of work is an issue for everyone or just the company I work for. I've been there over 2 years and every year previous we've been on mandatory OT through the summer, and work is only slow like this in the winter. This is starting early this year and I'm beginning to wonder. Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
Volumes are high and we are asked to work

Speaks out....
It has to be absolutely awful to have the whole world know what is going on in your personal life. As the poster below said, Jennifer has millions and no children - but I've had some kick-in-the-stomach events in my life and it was bad enough coping with them (I know, we all do - don't flame me). At least I could escape to the mall, a bookstore, some anonymity - but Jennifer had no place to escape to.

I think Brad is a very decent guy but he's probably going through a midlife crisis. I worry more about him getting hurt from whacko Angelina - not only emotionally hurt, but if I were him, I would be worried about catching something. That girl is a skank.
and he still speaks to people like the..nm

just because someone else *speaks* the words--sm
does not *make them his.* just as qoutes from others are in books, and the writer copywrites those. The doctor did not tell her to make the macros to make her job easier. She had to take it upon herself to do the work. He did not type them and put in the codes, she did. He did not provide her with anything to make her job easier. It was her effort, thought processing, and physical demands that did that for her. She should not have to *hand them over* to anyone. That is HER work. Not his. Does that help you understand it a bit better?

Your post speaks for most, if not all of us! - sm
I would love to see a compilation of hundreds posts like this from other MTs sent to Congress, so they can see for themselves what offshoring is doing to this country. At this rate, we'll be 'third world' before we know it.
The 'Holy One' speaks........

Jennifer Aniston finally speaks out

She says she's hurt and sad over the breakup.  She loves Brad and always will because he's a "good" man.  She's very hurt about his spread in Vanity Fair with Angelina as a "married couple" with children.  She says it was obvious from the beginning of filming Mr and Mrs Smith that he was attracted to Angelina and started drifting away from her.  Now look at him, he's chasing after Angelina like a fool, while she adopts baby after baby, when he had a perfectly good woman!  The whole thing is sad!


Your post should be entitled "Unrealistic MT speaks."

I've been in this business long enough to know that number one, it is darn hard to get any clinic to sign a contract with an MT, and two, I'd put my head on the block and say that 99.99% of them would never sign a contract stating that if they break the contract, they would  continue to pay the MT x-amount per month, and if their high-powered attorney allowed them to do such an air head thing, they'd find a legal loop hole via to get out of it soooooo quick.


The MT who originated her post was obvlously feeling very down, as you would be if it happened to you, so I must say it was very BIG of you to kick her while she was in that position, and I have to wonder, who's more professional - you or the clinic who dumped her with no notice after years of good service.


May the karma bug bite you big time in the butt, and it will, too.


Have a nice day - Julie


Are you kidding - at least Clooney speaks properly.
Matt comes across as being very dumb when he speaks and is apparently odd to boot - remember the incidents where he got caught doing something naked extremely high on pot??? And now, no deodorant?!? Please, up your expectations, ladies! He seems to be a total loser. Now, George, hmmmm! I'll take that. LOL!
This really speaks the truth! Loving your post. nm

They have tons of work, no low work volumes at all - sm
They are the only company I have worked at that has no slow times. Granted if they overhired then that might be the case, they don't, so there is as much work as you may want. They are a good company though, pay is always on time. As I said on the company board, no, they do not pay for spaces, but nor do they charge for them. They have other qualities I think that help overcome the fact that you do not get paid for spaces. It is a true IC job and that is one of the great "benefits" of the place; you have a 24 hour TAT, no set schedule. They don't care when you do the work as long as you make deadline. I need that flexibility and it is very hard to find an IC job where you actually have it and not a "window" of 8-12 hours to do your work. You do what you are supposed to do; they will give you as much work as you want, 60, 90, 120 minutes a day. I think in the 5 years I have worked there that work has gotten slow about 2 times, and it only lasted for a couple days each time. Most of the doctors are good too; there are a few bad apples but that is to be expected. I did this one guy today who I absolutely hate, but Sheila rotates the bad docs about so no one person gets stuck with the bad one all the time. But I had not done him for probably a month; and now I won't see him again probably for another month. it is not hard work either. It is all hospital clinic work for the most part and trauma ER.----so your "hearing" about low work is not quite the truth of the matter. If you don't know the facts, don't print them.
There is an old adage - "He that writes like he speaks writes badly." nm
Doctors need to learn that they are creating a document that is going to be read by others.

I work for a hospital where the gastroenterologists compete to see who can dictate their endo in the fastest time. They deserve the blanks.
No one speaks shimma shimma, its mumbling, in any language.
