It's nice to hear of a happy ending! Great of MT Stars! nm

Good thing you're the self-appointed talent judge to the stars,
LOL
Thought you were not happy with them

Happy for you - I always thought about that as well...
The ladies I worked alongside with (well, they were on the other side of the office) made over $25/hour doing DRG back some 10 years ago already. They do this at home now, as well, I think!

Best of luck to you - that seems like a very solid future and one I wish I would have gotten into when I was younger.

Wish you the best. It does make me feel better knowing there are others in the same boat. Sometimes I feel so much unreality in this business.

I follow my gut, though, so no matter what I am "told," I still go by my own feelings, and I know I am not doing very well, and I know I am not a professional (not treated as one is what I mean).

When nurses or other professionals are certified, I believe they are paid hourly, not piecemeal, and have advocates, yes?

To call MTs professionals when we are only making money for what we 'type' and even then have benefits revoked for not making minimums, are on constant time constrictions and under constant threats of losing our jobs, if we do not keep up with an unrealistic 'norm' well, no matter what I am told, that is not a profession - NO, not so much!

We are expected to act like professionals while we are not in any way treated as such. We are numbers and graphs only. If you go below your lines or hours, you are penalized.

I cringe when this issue comes up...only because when I started some 15 years ago, I did feel like a professional, and AAMT was the one who advocated that for me...elevating 'typing pool' to medical transcriptionists and medical language specialists, etc.

What happened? Do you think this is greed? Why are they deserting us and ignoring our needs now?
I thought it was cute.. Happy Halloween. nm

It does but you can see she is really getting her boogie on - sm
when she seems to almost lose her balance at one point and reaches for the desk to steady herself.

Heehee. I showed my kids this video and they said I get movin but not QUITE that bad. LOL
Nice to be thought of...wishing you happy thanksgiving as well...(no message)

The View today has Janelle,Erika,Boogie..NM

On 2nd thought, if you're NOT a good Italian style cook, make something you ARE good at. Leave th

Good! I am happy for you then!
See ya later! More work for me! I am sure I will see you on here again complaining about the next company you get hired with. I can't wait for that! I will look forward to it.
God is good. I'm very happy for you.
This sounds great.
Happy to help. Good luck to you. :) NM

Good for you!. That lady must be happy at Wal-Mart (sm)
Hmmmm...I have thought the same thing, transcription hasn't been that great lately.  What a relief it would be to just put the computer in the closet.
Happy for you that you found the good stuff...sm

Happy that you found a better man than the first husband.  I, too, was married to a controlling (though he didn't get far with me in that regard because I cannot be *controlled* and since I'm a teenager) french frog whom I divorced 15+ years ago for my SANITY.  My sanity became an issue and I became my own Hero........and have been V_E_R_Y happy DAILY without him.  *L*


I will never marry again....fool me once, shame on you - fool me twice, shame on me.  I believe marriage is NOT normal...but hey, that's just me.....I believe marriage is an institution and I do not need to be institutionalized.  


Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. Happy Easter!

It's great you've got a good system; I'm happy for you! nm

That is such good news, I am sooooo happy for you and Tom Kitty

Hey! I never thought of that! LOL. Good one. er,
Wonder what it does stand for...
I thought better of you, Bus. Not good to talk
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
I thought I was fairly good at them
got several that I absolutely could not understand 1/2 of what was being said. Made 100 lines in 3 hours!!!!
Good idea. I had actually thought of that..

I was reading on the local police web page about starting the neighborhood watch and it basically said the same thing, or to knock on people's doors and ask if they would be willing to come to meetings.  We haven't had a meeting in my neighborhood in over 11 years, so I think it's time now since so many people have come and gone, or rented out their houses.  Other people may have a different list of problems to add to mine. 


Thanks for the response.


Good point. I had another thought also...
I was wondering if maybe some of the work is actually being sent overseas for cheaper labor for a few days or so to help save the company money in this ailing economy.  Have known this to happen with a couple other companies.  But, as you said, if something major were to happen, there would be an MT influx into other companies and maybe back into the hospitals.  I have mixed feelings on this...it's nice to work at home, but hospitals usually have decent/reasonably priced benefits that do not depend on line output.
hadn't thought of that either! Good for you! nm
nm
Thanks. I thought it might be good when you needed to get through quickly. NM

Cool! Never thought of that....good idea! nm

Good luck to you folks. I hope I can perk up soon. I thought I was the only one with this disease

Lucky. I love long reports. I thought I got a good one, but it was a 1.5 minute
report with 12 minutes of dead air. Sit here and do nothing. For free.
Don't cap happy holiday season. Cap the others and Happy Holidays alone. nm

They were saying that MT Stars could see (sm)
the message. Supposedly they sent one to an MT using the Reply By Email function and were told not to mention other boards that could be in competition with this one. Since the info was sent as reply by email, they warned that evidently that's not so private here. ??
MT Stars has one

Thank you, MT Stars!!!
I needed one!
Post on MT Stars
Hi, saw your post. I too am a Spheris employee currently on FMLU time. Found a great company that does not require you to adhere to a schedule; work just has a 24-hour turnaround time. Producing 1100 lines a day is wonderful. I am just starting, but am satisfied so far and learned of this job from another MT in my small town, who has worked for this company for years. They are InHealth Transcription. Carol Scheer is the recruiter. Check out their website. Good Luck!! Let me know how you fair. I haven't been at this but for 10 years, but I am becoming disgruntled also. I would love talking to someone with this much experience.
I second that! Thank you MT Stars for doing the right thing!

Sheri from MT stars

Sheri, I just wanted to let you know that I have not received an e-mail giving me a chance to draw from the gift bag.  I made a donation using paypal on December 2nd and have not heard anything.  I do have the reference number for verification.


Empty Box from MT Stars
Sad day when someone goes through the mail and takes your gift.  I received a tube from MT STARS today and it was empty...This was my gift from the Santa donation.   I hope whoever took it really likes the gift.
Dancing with Stars
Yes, I love it. So far, Jerry Rice was my absolute favorite!
addicted to MT Stars
It is not just you. I am constantly checking it as it is a nice diversion. Plus it is great when you need word advice now and then. It is also a good feeling being able to pitch in and guess a word when someone else is stumped. Just like any job--we always wonder what everyone else is doing down the hall.
Thanks MT Stars for the recognition!!!...n/m

MT stars board
is this owned by an MTSO or just who is it owned by?
I would thank my lucky stars I still had a job
You've really got some gall to do that.

You're no lab rat, ma'am. You're trying to manipulate your employer.

You work FOR an employer, at their discretion.

If that shoe doesn't fit you anymore, go get a different one.

If I were your employer, I'd fire the both of you as examples to the other 2, regardless of what it took to recover from it.

You asked for opinions. That's mine! lol
MT Stars IS Santa! sm
I love this board and gain so much from it, I cannot imagine how anyone can find fault with anything on here. Just refund their money if they don't like it!
Yup - it's why I'm reading MT Stars right now

MT stars board
something very does sound amiss.(teehee) MT stars should have easily transferred to the new domain by now. But, I would very much remain optimistic about it at this point. This so called message from this doctor sounds like so many of those fraudlent emails that are sent out. you know the ones - I am from foreign country, cannot deposit this sum of money. Would ask that you make transfer into your bank blah blah blah .....I wouldn't trust anything from overseas. If it does happen that it is this way, then all will find out in the end, until then chill....
