ethics
I posted yesterday but it never appeared???
Anyway, it wouldn't hurt to talk to your supervisor. I happen to work on an account that's a Catholic Hospital so they refuse abortions.
MT Ethics
The issue is that no one bothered to inform me and YES I am getting less work. This was my account that I acquired and have worked hard on for 1-1/2 years. I think it's despicable. Yes, my client can contract with whomever they wish, but the decent thing to do is at least notify me they were making some changes.
Ethics
That's just it. I am not receiving the same work. I have actually turn away work to keep room for the work load. I am disgusted and will NEVER have anyone fill it for me again. Here I am doing the office a favor and then slapped in the face. Where are the morals here?
Work ethics ??
I have been subcontracting through a mom/pop company for about three years. They have a few different accounts, but I mostly do the same doctor every day, along with a few people in his clinic. The transcription company owner has had some health problems, so I stepped up and am now doing my share of the transcription, editing, sending the work in, and the billing. (I am being paid (not much) for my extra work). Anyway, the one clinic that I have been typing for about three years called me. They are not happy with the contract holder and said that something needs to change. She has become very unorganized and rude with this clinic. I work my butt off to try to keep them happy on my end, but she shows no interest in trying to be nice or anything and she says she doesn't care if they drop her, it would make her life a lot easier. The final straw before the telephone call was that she returned tapes from other clinics to this clinic and they freaked out about patient privacy (totally understandable).
Anyway, the clinic called me and asked if I would be interested in working in-house (I'm not) or trying to figure something out as they no longer want to work through this company, but they are very happy with my transcription. I told them that I was very sorry for the tape confusion and I that I felt that I was being misrepresented by the people who were picking up and dropping off the tapes.
It is very hard to explain the whole situation, but the lady who I contract through has said, just in passing and I don't know if she was serious, "If they drop my account with them, you can have them." I just don't know how bad it would be if I stopped subcontracting through her and just went straight to the clinic.
I would love some opinions on this. Sorry it was so long. I am very stressed out about this. If she loses the contract and I stay with her, I will lose a lot of lines...thousands. I just don't know what to do. Thanks.
No contract. And no ethics.

MT Ethics question
Hello-Need some feedback. I am a seasoned IC MT. The PT office I type for asked that I find a back-up for a vacation I went on in August. I found someone, which took considerable time, to fill in for me. I gave her the opportunity to make some extra cash and assured her that I would send accounts her way if I could, etc. I just found out, she is also transcribing for this office behind my back. I had no idea. Isn't this unethical???? Shouldn't she have extended the courtesy of at least informing me? I would never do that. Not sure of the circumstances, either. Whether she offered them less rates, or if they initiated contact. Either way, I feel like I have been "had". Please comment. Anyone?
MQ mandatory code of ethics course?
Did anyone else get an email from Howard about all MQ employees taking a mandatory ethics course? Hmm...I thot I already WAS ethical....
Well let me assure you the company has no ethics...
either and has been banned from this board because of it. They don't treat this account the way they should and quite frankly the client deserves better.
cant you report him to an ethics board?

Question of personal ethics
If you worked for a company who supplied you with normals, templates, macros, whatever you call a canned dictation, and said canned dictations are full of every type of error you can imagine from spelling to incorrect terms and things typed (I can't say transcribed) in a way that is wrong, and you were told to leave it "as is" and sign your name to it...would you?
I am having a hard time signing my name to something I didn't transcribe and looks like that. I have some pride in my work and I have paid my dues for too long to let ANYTHING so HIDEOUS go anywhere with my name on it!!!!!
What would you do?
Yes, but can you transcribe? Do you have good work ethics?
Yes, but can you transcribe an easy 2 minute dictation in under an hour?
Do you have good work ethics? Which, begs the question, do you know the definition of ethics?
Can you stick to days and hours you agreed to?
Can you not make up excuses for not working?
Can you stay in your chair and not a leave a job hanging for hours on end?
Are you in this century regarding technology? Which, also begs the question, can you download, install, configure, and operate the newer programs that MTSOs are using?
If you answered no to any of these questions, you're in the wrong industry and from what this MTSO has been getting lately, there are a lot of you out there who have absolutely no business trying to work in this industry.
i would not babysit them. if their quality is that bad on resume, it would be on work ethics too.
;
quality as in ethics/morals/education/parenting/will to do one's best and set examples for others
qualities as to working hard to make your life better and not settling for second best so you can drink your six-pack and rent videos while your kids run wild. you know what i'm talking about. quality as to have no grasp of consequences of one's behavior.
well oldtime, I'll bet that you have good work ethics. But, people like you are far and few in
6 to 8 MTs only a couple actually work out. That is an absolute shame, but it's the truth. How do I know this? Because I surveyed several services asking the very same question to each and this is what the averages were. Of course, someone here will whine about how many services I surveyed, were they friend, etc., but I can say with absolute certainty that I was completely fair in my end figures.
k, that is your opinion, i stated mine. poor quality in my opinion shows bad work ethics if they do
;
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
work ethics should work both ways
Sorry that happened to you. Sure, legally they can do whatever the heck they want, but they destroyed their business relationship with you. Shame MT is a buyers market and they felt they could dump your service just like that (and without even telling you they were dropping you - who the heck are you - Milton? (from Office Space - you know, they just stopped paying him in hopes he would just stop coming to work))
Or maybe that in itself IS the test! It's really an ethics test, LOL. nm
R
then I guess it is just a
matter of process by elimination....Thanx for the info....
GUESS WHAT
The post right above mine ISNT ME!!!!! But she did capitalize in her post. OHHHHH. Could there be 2 of US????
Are you 19:13:49? Guess not! nm
LOL
guess not! nm
Well, I guess...
I simply can't afford to go! That and gas would ruin my budget...
Guess not.

Well, I guess you don't want more help. :) nm

I guess you are SM
just plain stupid and can't read. I have a job and make good money.
Plus that, I can afford to not work for peanuts and hold out for the better paying position because I have a lot more skills than just MT. First of all, I can read and understand the English language which you obviously cannot. AMF
Guess
AND ONLY YOU WOULD KNOW!
GUESS WHAT
A BIG FAT LOSER AS WELL!
My guess
My guess is that since you are the one who noticed, you are probably the one writing the nastygram posts - now you have someone to blame it on because of someone else's misfortune - I have power and I live in Florida, too bad the people who do not have power cannot respond to your rude remarks about the misfortunate.
I guess I am really different
I love OB-GYN most of all. Of course, I have had the same three docs for over 10 years and I have had the liberty of asking them to turn their recorders all the way up and they have obliged. They speak very loudly and clearly. Even after all these years, for some reason, I am not bored with the work. My female docs dictate normally two pages on every patient (my male doc dictates about half a page) so I get a lot of dictation and a lot of canned paragraphs to boot.
When I worked for a large national, I liked the Infectious Disease docs the best but I hated having over 100 dictators in several specialties.
I now work for a small MTSO (plus have my own OB account) and I have nine GI docs and I really enjoy it thus far.
to each their own I guess
I thought the bomb scene was totally realistic, how in the heck did they film that, unbelievable.
guess what I was asking was
how do others break into this? Is it usually done by word of mouth, answering ads, or your own marketing. But, Thx, I will take a look back a few days
Ah, yes, I guess there are...
those kinds of adapters. LOL, ''gender changer'' (rather a misnomer for the female-to-female and male-to-male ones, though, huh?).

Thanks, WeekendMT! Sticking with my homemade equalizer dealio for now, but this is good to know about (never heard of such a thing before).
would guess it is 14-17 cpl now...nm

I guess I'm not the only one....(nm)

Well, I guess somebody has to do it. (sm)
But it won't be me!
Guess you are right
not to feed the trolls. It is hard though, sometimes, when you see them ganging up on some poor innocent unsuspecting poster who just wanted to post what she was making for dinner that day and all of a sudden she is a target for rude abuse. It is not fair, and sometimes it is not easy to keep quiet. I am done for the day though, as they are dragging me down too. Can't win when they think they are right to be able to hurt someone else. Just glad I am not the only one that feels that way though. Thanks for your input. Keep reminding us not to feed the trolls...it may help. lol
guess we know what Mom would say
You made the income, you spent the income, you owe the taxes. Hopefully you are putting money aside to pay this year's taxes. I feel for you in a way but you gotta be disciplined and put money aside to pay your taxes. You can work out a payment plan with the state but why should they write yours off and not mine.
I guess I can see that for
in-house positions or people working with money. But I wonder why they would want that kind of information for someone strictly doing transcription at home. I've had credit card debt and even some collections in the past but not because of irresponsbility but because of illness, job loss, etc. I just think it'd be a shame for somebody with bills to not get a job they need and want so they can pay off those bills, just because they have those bills, KWIM? Thanks for responding!
Okay, I guess that's a little different.
If both of you are on a talking basis already, kind of different. I am just imaging one of my husband's exes, ha!
A ductogram, huh? I hope I never have to have one of those since you say they are so painful. I don't like getting anything done anymore though after the doctor messed me up so bad during my liver biopsy. If I see instruments of any kind, I automatically cringe. I had an IUD put in recently and thought I was going to have a panic attack because the nurse kept messing with those things beforehand.
Hope everything turned out alright for you! :)
To each their own, I guess :)
I do think it is quite ridiculous that God has been taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. I just guess I look for more practical solutions.
I think everyone should have a right to their religious beliefs, including Christians. To push everything out that has anything to do with God is going to the other extreme. Everything has to be so politically correct now, like the whole Happy Holidays thing.
I'm not into organized religion, but someone saying Merry Christmas or my kids hearing God in school is not offensive to me. God can mean many different things to different people. They both do things organized by churches sometimes. A parent should let their kid make their own decision, in my opinion.
However, we still need an overhaul of our mental health care system and school system for that matter. Those are practical solutions that will work now.
I guess what comes around goes around...
I hope they get sued and lose their $**!
I used work in-house for a local hospital for several years until it became apparent that the MTs were being weeded out. The Director of Medical Records, who has never transcribed a day in her life, had gone to a seminar promoting EMR as well as outsourcing companies to take over the hospital's transcription -- our jobs. She came back from the seminar all fired up with a plan to purchase the $500,000 software and outsource the work that she could, and get rid of her in-house and home MTs to avoid the extra overhead and expense that full-time employees incur. She was extremely evasive with us and sneaky about this until it became apparent to the others what she was up to. I, on the other hand, knew exactly what she was doing and got out before I gave her the satisfaction of getting rid of me. Last I heard, their good ole EMR was not doing what they wanted it to do because they failed to get the extra components to make it work sufficiently, which would have been another $500,000 according to her. Instead, she had the IT department working overtime to "create" software that would work with what she had already purchased and it just wasn't working correctly. HA!!! We MTs started dropping and quitting like flies. Now, she's in a mess because no one wants to work for her after pulling her stunt. No one trusts her.
Needless to say, it was very upsetting working with her, knowing that she was fully aware that I would be unemployed in a short time, while she remained very comfortable in her very nice, secure job that her doctor husband got for her in a deal to come to the area to work. It's all about politics here where I am located -- it's not what you know but who you know -- or better yet, WHO YOU DO (if you get my meaning).
It's all just ridiculous. The Medical Records Department was always in a complete mess. She was incompetent and it amazed me that she was allowed to keep her job.
I guess I was bitter, sure. I do hope to live to see the day that this Director of Medical Records gets what's coming to her because she is totally incompetent and has that area of the hospital in such a mess that I, myself, would be terrified if I had to be admitted to there.
Only if you guess at it, which is what too many MTs do.

Well, if I had to guess
I'd say this poster is the same person who sent me hate mail 20 minutes before posting this. I guess you told me! LOL!
Wow, I am sorry for you. It must be an absolutely miserable life, being such a mean and nasty troll. I'm just thankful that I'm not you.
I guess I should be expecting more hate mail now. I'll be sure to read that right away! 
Thanks I guess, but (sm)
I was a nurse before becoming a MT, so I may have a little hands-on knowledge behind my belt, too. I still don't know everything in the BOS by a long shot. Maybe I just wanted to blow some money on a test. 
Ok, well, i guess
No. I guess I could look into it,
but they have been opposed to this in the past and have told me they don't want anyone they don't know doing my work. I will check, though. Thanks!
I'm with you. I guess I can see why
people would say that, but it's not like you're buckled down working the whole entire time you're there. I could work when I wasn't doing other things. Oh man, you have a condo in Hawaii?? Must be nice! I would love that. We went to Jamaica in 2001 and I can just imagine your view while working! Oh, the life! Thanks for the info. So, IF I ever get to do this, I would just need to get a laptop and load the software and that's all, right? But if I work for a company, I probably would have to download the jobs before I left, right? Or can you do it from anywhere that has Internet?
guess you could be right
When you have 3 minds going, you can come up with all sorts of things. Love the work but hate the place where I do it. I certainly would be happier and if their MTs are happy.............I guess we are "thinking" too much into it. Reading other posts, it sure makes you wonder.
That's what I have too-guess
that's why I've never had a problem, huh? LOL
I guess not...
Personally I have never known anyone that got their first job as a QA. I was under the impression you had to have a few years transcription exp. first. Are you referring to VR editing? Or QAing other MTs work? .02 cpl is a slap in the face. I would not work for that even as a newbie. If you don't mind my asking who do you work for? I have never heard of anyone making only 2 cpl. I have heard of 3 cpl and that is cheap but not 2. I think you need to try to find work somewhere else. I am relatively new at this too with 7 months exp. I make .065 cpl for transcription. It is hard enough to make money at that rate. There are definitely editing jobs that pay more than that. Now if you have a few years of exp and do QA for other MTs work then some positions are salaried. A transcription Editor does voice recognition editing. QA looks over MTs work and makes sure it is right and fills in blanks sent to QA. I advise you to find work elsewhere. Just my opinion.
