PSA: Consulting physician - anon


Posted: Oct 03, 2013

I admit, this is a huge pet peeve of mine.  The consulting physician is the one who goes to see the patient at the request of the REFERRING physician.  I wish I could get some docs to read this and state the difference.  If I was typing, I could just correct it right away but I have to correct it on the VR. 

yeah, that bugs me too - golden oldie

but if that's what's dictated, that is what is transcribed, because I assume that's what they want to see on the document, even tho it's incorrect.

Where I work, they will take points off if I transcribe it as dictated OR correct it. Have to flag it, and they keep a count of how many reports are sent to QA, how many blanks, etc., whether it is due to my fault or the dictator. It's humiliating AND annoying.

I would discourage anyone from considering working for this woman.  She is a nightmare, nasty and has no respect or regard for MTs.  One of the nastiest people I have ever encountered.  I have since learned from others that they were treated in a similar fashion.

Physician Thank You

So, I'm editing this report and it comes to the end and the physician states, "Transcriptionist, thank you so very, very much.  I appreciate you and your work."  Totally made my day!  Since this physican doesn't know it was me doing the report, I wanted to pass it on so hopefully it'll make someone else's day too.  Please no negative comments.  I have enough negative (as we all do).  Let me just enjoy the thank-you, and even more the appreciatio ...


Resident Physician

My boss calls me and tell s me to go on a limb and guess in the future.  I do not like those ethics because it leaves me up for problems in the future.  Comments welcomed. ...
