FINALLY. An acct specific that changes "pussy dischage" (sm) - sm


Posted: Dec 24, 2009

To pus-like or purulent.  I was told 30 plus years ago to change it to pus-like, but had never seen anything verifying to do it per account until today.  Just made good sense to change it.

But alas.... not nearly as funny! - Zircon

Oh I remember the first time I got that in a dictation!! sm - MT in NC

I was training in-house doing ER reports and had to ask a male manager there if I was really supposed to type that. I think turned purple from embarassment. I was in my 20s at the time...now I would probably laugh.

Yes - but...

I've had some dictators who were so crude that you couldn't be absolutely certain they didn't mean exactly what it looks like! :D

Took The Survey And Was Very Specific With My Opinions
Dec 13, 2011

Very specific: Low pay, no incentive, extremely stringent time constraints, TIME CLOCK, MedQ does not support the workforce that currently makes their company.  Acknowledged that MedQ is busily developing technology to do away with the MT, but in the meantime, need to pay the highly skilled MTs that keep them in business.  Also acknowledged that personally I do not have a problem with a capitalist principle to develop said technology to make seemless VR into the EMR.. But until that ...

New Acct - Training? Why?
Aug 24, 2010

I am starting a new acct tomorrow.  I sure hope I dont have to go through training.  We never have been trained on the cesspool that we get, we just get new accts when our regular work is caught up, so why do we need training on a new account?  That is ridiculous.  MQ, please just let me work and make a living.  Stop with all this changing CCMs and assigning new accts.  This coming pay check I probably will have 2 days on it if that much.  Geez.. ...

Anyone Else On An Acct That Allows No Blanks...
Mar 22, 2013

I'm on accts that do not allow any blanks at all through to the cliient.  ALL blanks must go to QA.  I haven't ever worked on an acct that would not even allow one blank to the client.  Anyhow, might not would be so bad but the dictators are TERRIBLE!  Many ESLs also.  Combine no blanks allowed with terrible dictators = sending more to QA.  That means docked pay if 5% or more.  Oh, and don't let me forget, no samples yet.  So you have to ho ...
