Suggestions please. I have a GI doctor who does tons - MT


Posted: Mar 29, 2012

of colons and EGDs.  He has a tendency to turn away from the phone when dictating and he also has a very difficult accent to understand plus there is a lot of noise in the room.  I can get him fine unless I cant hear him when he does this turning away and looking somwhere else.  Is there something to say to him to try to get this across.  I can put notes on his reports.  Very frustrating and for some reason you can only get the sound up so far on this new system they have and you cant get beyond that. 

See if you can get the doc to provide you ..sm - oldtimer

corrected copies of his procedures, or piece one together yourself, and then copy them into your autocorrect/normals. These docs usually say almost the same thing every time and you then just need to read along and make specific changes.

The specific changes are the problem and you cant guess - MT

on findings on colon or EGD.

Is It Worth It To Go Back To School And Accumulate Tons Of
Sep 26, 2013

I really, really, really want to go back to school.  Problem is, I'm a single parent living on my one income which is going down pretty much every month.  Being an MT just isn't working anymore.  I want to go back to school, but in order to do that, I would need to take out some serious student loans just to help me pay my bills, let alone pay the school debt.  I have an AA degree already, so I think it would take me about 2 more years to get my bachelor's degr ...

May 05, 2015

just sitting there and it's running slow.  I saw that I have 0 days selected to delete.  When I delete one file at a time it takes up to a minute.  Is there a way to select several at a time and delete, or even try and delete all of them?

Any help would be appreciated.  Loading up new voice files is getting slower and slower by the day ...


Overheard A Doctor Telling Another Doctor...
Oct 15, 2010

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one  was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now".  Well, that's how  MTs are being treated now.  Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's  don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends.  Are they sadistic or something.  Why do we put u ...


Company I Work For Going From Tons Of Work To Zero Work.
Apr 27, 2013

I work for a very nice group of ladies for a smaller company.  I have been with them over a year and have an abundance of work.  I even quit another part-time job I had as I felt that for the first 9 months that I worked for them I had enough work, and that this was not just a trend, but the norm.  Even at Christmas when most companies are slow, I had work.  I was not assigned accounts, I shared a pool in which the work was being completed well within the 24-ho ...

Hello everyone.  I am another one of those lower Alabama MT's.  I really need some pointers on what to do here.  When I started transcribing a few years back, my mentor told me once I got the grip, that I needed to consider getting my own accounts and eliminate the middle man and I would do so much better.  Well.....easier said that done!! I am the sole provider for my family.  I have three kids.  I find myself raking and scraping every two weeks to make ends ...

You all may already know this, but I am passing it along because I just found out.  I kept running out of work on the weekend and on the backlog I could see that there were jobs in the red that I normally work on for backup but they were not flowing to me.  I called the RTL hotline and spoke to a lady there.  I told her the deal and she said that she didn't show me as being scheduled to work that day so they did not add me to that pool.  Evidently on helper pools or ...


Need To Get Out Of MT - Suggestions?

After having my pay cut by half over the past 9 months, I realize that I need to get out of MT and in a bad way.  I wish I had never gone to school for this. I just can no longer stand for having pay cut after pay cut every year with no end in sight.  I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions on other jobs that I could do from home. I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology along with my CMT.  I have young kids with medical problems, so I need to be able to be h ...


I Need Suggestions Please

I stopped doing transcription last year around this time and worked for Medquist.  Now I'm trying to get back to work and have several tests to take.  My problem is that I never had to worry about a medical spellcheck with Medquist and don't have one of my own on my computer and can't afford to buy one just now.  On one test, the e-mail I received from the recruiter specified that the test doesn't have a medical spell check, so I could do the document in Word, ...

10 Suggestions For All MTSO's:
Mar 24, 2010

To all MTSO's:1. Show us the money. You make tons of it. We know it. You know it. Try paying us more of it, and cheating us out of less of it.2. Simplify your transcription platforms. Every time you "improve" them, for some STRANGE reason, it gets harder and harder to do a day's work on them. Some software salesman has sure taken advantage of whoever in your company buys transcription software. Please. Develop some sales resistance.3. Let MTs working on a primary account STAY on that a ...
