Where to buy a VR crystal ball? - MissKitty

Posted: Feb 14, 2013

Apparently in addition to transcribing, acute listening, and translating . . . now I'm supposed to have ESP skills to know what they MEANT to say even if it is strictly "verbatim," there is a gray area we are to instinctively know called, "Transcription clairvoyance, what the dictator meant to say." Hey, they can't have it both ways - if verbatim is what they demand, verbatim is what they get unless that dictator directs me to change what was said all of the creepy stuff stays! I can't help it if that report looks trashy, or like an idiot dictated it. Afterall, it is verbatim, and . . . you made those hair splitting rules, I didn't. :)

I had a ghastly piggybacker today. - please, just knock me out

They don't play by the rules at all. It all falls us, and I'm sick of it.

multiple reports on one audio file - hate piggybacking

You have to create separate reports within one audio file, and it's a pain in the neck.

Multiple reports on one audio - I cant stand that. - drives me nuts. Especially when

you have to scrounge to fill in patient demographics, very time consuming! My biggest pet peeve when it comes to poor dictation habits.

I had the very pleasant experience of getting a crystal-clear American doctor speaking perfect English, but he was spelling many ordinary words and medications, which tells me he's probably been having some bad reports coming back. He didn't sound like a newbie resident, who do tend to spell a lot of things. It makes me wonder just how bad some of the reports are if this very clear-speaking doctor is having a problem. ...

I'm trying to use just my balance ball right now. I have some low back problems and find that my posture is horrendous with sitting in a normal office chair; however, just the balance ball alone seems to be a little too low. Overall, it feels more comfortable on my rear end than my normal office chair and I'm definitely sitting up straighter, but wondered if anyone else out there had any experiences, good or bad, with using a balance ball or the balance ball chair setup.&nb ...

I was one today, who "joined the lawsuit." Reason being is that I have worked for MANY companies in MANY capacites and have found companies whom like TTD and other companies are subcontractors for other companies - yes, there are compllaints of "low work/no work;" its not necessariy India or the Phillipines, but AMERICAN companies or individual MTs who are SOOO swamped they put ads on and hire people. I recently did QA for a company and was told not to touch a certain gro ...
