How would you like to correct this mess? - a brain tease

Posted: Nov 07, 2009

Ever wonder why you miss words that are misspelled, even when you “carefully” proof every page? If you can read the following, you will learn the answer.

From Cambridge University :

O lny srmat poelpe can raed tihs.

I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, t he olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rgh it pclae.

I, like most MTs, read it on the fly without missing a beat. The last number of years of my MT life (like 10-15 years) consisted of just this kind of garbage going in my ears, translated through my brain and coming out my fingers in an accurate medical report day in and day out. Wonder what VR would do with it????

OMG that is so weird, and I could read every word. - blondie

Had no problem at all and I am a VRer.

the patient that signs all the privacy statements when entering the hospital only knew his medical information was going to "another country" what are the chances they are going to say, "Sure, go ahead and send it."

I just need to know if I am the only one that cries everyday on this job. I can barely even see through my tears to post this message. First I get a good report, but then I know that I will be barraged with at least 2 or more bad ones after that. It is nothing but a roller coaster and now I can't even find a way to locate and listen to a transcribed report returned to me as bad. It is impossible to focus under this pressure of never knowing when the email is coming o ...

Here I sit twiddling my thumbs because I can't work my regular schedule. When I signed on today, the audio was so low I could barely hear it. Muddled through the first report, straining. Second report comes up...same thing. Tried everything I could think of to no avail, unplugging speakers, turning off and on, etc, rebooting. Called Tech. They identified no problem. Said to send to QA so perhaps they could??? No reply from CCM (more than likely because she's bombarded with emails from ...

The distal end of the bile duct was oversewn with running, locking 3-0 PDS, and the end-to-side choledochojejunostomy was done to the loop of jejunum with a running 4-0 PDS suture. We placed Evicel around this **s/l "so a ligamentum teres off the shassum posterior** and anchored. Omental pedicle flap was then fashioned **s/l and anterior to anteriorly** to protect the anastomosis. Thanks in advance. ...

I have never wanted to be fired so badly in my life. I have worked in some real feces factories in my day, but this one beats them all. How on earth do they expect any MLS to care about any of these reports if they aren't going to pay us a decent wage? I hope the stock crashes. If the rest of the company is managed as poorly as the transcription division, it's only a matter of time until it does. ...

I have never seen such a disorganized operation. We've been getting forms periodically emailed. Many forms don't have adequate instructions on where they're supposed to be sent. State tax forms haven't been sent to everyone as they should have been. Some employees haven't even gotten news about what they'll be paid next year, and yet they're expected to choose benefits without knowing what they'll be earning. This has been incredibly stressful and unneces ...

I sent in a report with 2 blanks because of a discrepancy. When I got the feedback, every single time I typed "diabetes type 2" as was dictated, it was corrected to "non-insulin-dependent diabetes type 2."

I have been told for the past 2 days that there is no work available on 2 of my accounts, and I am wondering if other MTs have been told the same thing. This is usually not the case, and 1 major account decided not to have TT do their work. The other 2 accounts I am now on also have little or not work. Has anyone else had trouble getting work or no work? This is really beginning to bother me, and when you ask someone in charge on the evening shift they don't lik ...
