Check this out, very scary - Wow


Posted: Nov 13, 2010

A doctor who cannot pronounce encephalomalacia! She fumbles around with it for a while and then says "oh well, I will just spell it" and did so like she was asking a question (did spell it correctly though). This is an English speaking dictator with an MD credential.  Must be a resident as she has a co-signer but, my God, she should be more familiar with terms by now you would think.  She also fumbles around with common medication names and mg instead of mcg for Synthroid. Forget about abbreviations, she cannot get those right either. She says "CAE, coronary artery something, syndrome" come on!  I would laugh it was not so scary.

I have found that when doctors are out of - sm

their speciality they can't pronounce anything--disease processes, medications, etc. You are correct, it is scary, but then again I have a seasoned dictator who cannot pronounce something as simple and diagnoses--I think a lot of times they are just rushing through things and words cannot keep up with what they are thinking.

OMG, Very Scary
Apr 29, 2010

A friend of mine was just fired from MQ with no warning whatsoever! Apparently she had CC'd the wrong doctor (very similar-sounding names, ESL dictator). I know this is a major HIPAA violation, but everyone makes mistakes...we are only human. My friend always had excellent QA audits above 98%, 15+ years as MT, no other issues with her work. You would think they would look at this on a case-by-case basis, consider past record, when it comes to firing someone on the spot like that. It is ...


Scary, Scary ASR
Sep 10, 2010

doctor clearly states "a fair amount of adhesions;"  ASR transcribed "some adhesions."  That is so bizarre to me and if I wasn't really LISTENING and was just flying through proofreading, I would have missed it.  Not particularly treatment-changing for the patient, but certainly incorrect.  ASR just flat made up dictation there.  Absolutely amazing.  If I did that, I would be fired.  ...

Scary Software
Feb 17, 2010

During my first visit with a new doctor yesterday, I wondered why I was not presented with the usual "book of history" to fill out beforehand.  As the nurse was asking questions, she was busy clicking on pull-down menus, etc.   On her computer screen was software called SOAPware, and there, formatted into SOAP format and all, I saw my replacement.  Later, in the exam room, the FNP was using the software as well as we went along, after exam, labs, etc.  I made a comment ...

I was just searching the web to find a type of surgical camera and found this on a used equiment site...

Scary VR Error
Aug 26, 2012

VR:  has been taking a lot of Tylenol. Should be:  has been taking allopurinol.  VR's way of "thinking" is getting a little bit frightening.  It seems like it's changing context to accommodate its own errors.  I've seen it insert words and phrases that are clearly not dictated but would "fit" with the mistyped term. ...


Scary Thought...
Oct 03, 2012

First, VR was going to replace us.  When that didn't work, now we -- American MTs -- are fine-tuning VR so the Indian MTs can replace us.  And to make sure this happens, MTSOs are paying us unfair, unlivable wages to force us out, thus forcing clients to accept what they get from the Indian MTs because there won't be enough qualified American MTs left. I know this really isn't news, but I thought I'd share anyway. ...


This Doctor Needs To Retire, Scary!
Nov 02, 2010

I have this doctor I've been working with for a few years through a company, who is very old.  He frequently loses his place while dictating and often doesn't make sense.  Today has been bad already.  One report he dictated 3 sentences that did not make sense, nor was it clear what he was really trying to say.  Another report he dictated the exam, paused, started to dictate exam and then realized he already did, started with the impression, dictated #1, t ...

Just had one dictate that this teenager took:  Insulin 300-unit meal bolus plus 1 unit per 15 g carbs.  Considering 300 units is a whole vial, that could be deadly.  Looking back at old records it was supposed to be:  Insulin 300 units/3 mL.  Meal bolus: 1 unit per 15 g carbs. ...


This Must Be A Scary Time To Be An MTSO. Formerly Placid

work and be happy they had a job.  But now, those same MTs have turned into slueths sniffing out less than honest MTSO.  Must be scary to know any day, you could get a call from an attorny, like what happened to Transcend management.  Like what happened to MM several years ago. Must be scary to be an MTSO and know that you have to do business in an honest fashion, or else, these days, good chance you will be caught being dishonest.  Must be scary to think at the very least y ...


"Skip The Scary Movie Marathon And Work Overtime!"
Dec 13, 2013

Anyone else get a status update that included "Skip the scary movie marathon and work overtime"? Them constantly asking for OT is what's scary and full of horror!  But I need the money, so I guess I'll batten down the hatches and "find an hour or two before or after my shift" to help them out!  Heaven forbid the managers ever hop on and transcribe!  But I know they don't because when you ask them a simple question about account specs, they have no clue!  If ...

PT Check $100 Less Than FT
Oct 11, 2011

I'm no genuis, but I think I have to make some changes here.  My PT check for 20 hours was around 100 less than my FT 40 hour check.  I like my FT job, good accounts, great supervisors, but the lines just don't accumulate there like anywhere else I have ever worked.   Then I worry, what if the other company runs out of work or loses an account and I get laid off.  There is no security in this business anymore.  I guess, just don't burn your bridges b ...

Well, to the poster below in ESL garbage land, first let me say.  I too was in that same place 2 weeks ago.  An addition to my regular account, but it was all I was getting and NOT getting my OP notes at all.   The reports were not more than 20 lines usually, but I spent much, much time in trying to decipher and be FTR.  My CCM was very good about it, and told me it would be taken off and I would not have to do that account any longer.   Of course, I wish I had ...
