I feel like calling up my QAM and asking HER what I should put in this report.

I got a rather lengthy dictation by the most horrifying ESL physician who happened to be dictating next to the emergency room radio for traumas or something similar (bad dictator + lots of radio noise + already noisy emergency room). I was so flustered and frustrated by the time I finally managed to finish editing it that I could've cried. I spent an enormous amount of time in the report, and yet I was still not careful enough not to make 2 very stupid mistakes. Yes, they ...

Does your PTO add up quickly this way also? Please let me know and thank you for your time! ...

First, let me say, I do like my TSM, she is great and I know she is only doing as she is instructed, but where do these people get the nerve to call me on my day off and think I will stop what I'm doing and help them? The audacity is mind boggling. Cut our pay, put most of us in financial ruin, expect more and more for less and less pay and then you want ME to help YOU? If it wasn't so pathetic, it would almost be funny. How stupid or maybe greedy do y ...

I'm trying to give you all a wake up! I've worked my whole life (50 years) and have never been paid for only half my work. What I'm doing doesn't matter. You have to decide what you're going to do. Voice recognition will get better and medical providers will buy their own. Why pay companies like Nuance to edit when they can do it themselves? Why do you think Nuance is selling Dragon? They know exactly what's coming and want to milk the industry for all they can. In ...

Have phone interview next week. Looking for info on pay scale, weekend/holiday/schedule expectations, and vacation time info. Don't want to waste my time or theirs. Please only reply if you are a current employee with knowledge of current policies. I looked on their website but can't find this info.... thanks a bunch! ...

Just came from Acute Care. I have strep throat and I will be heading off to bed. I've worked at MQ for 3 years and never ever called in sick. My super is on PT. Even so, I will call and leave her a message. I have no PTO time. Will I be required to make this up? ...

I am not wanting to know opinions on traditional versus speech anymore...been doing that way too long...absolutely moving on at this point. What I would like to know is...what did those of you choose to do when you gave up MT? Very, very important to me. Thanks. ...

Its one thing when private business with private equity sends jobs overseas. It is entirely another when Medicare and Medicaid is supporting job growth in India. Why are we not emassing in the halls of Congress???? This affects every American, not just MTs. ...

Just wondering if it's okay/possible to put my "Call" macros back towards the end of General_Macro? And if so, where? I tried moving them to just before End Sub and also before Page 1:Selection..., but those locations didn't work. I'm getting an occasional errant "g" or "L" (apparently related to the GramLiter macro) at the very beginning of my VR text when I run it now, which I didn't have at all before when the "called' macros were at the end. Was part of the fix ...

I don't know where to begin with trying to record a macro for this need myself. On my main account, we're required to list meds without any following punctuation, but due to other MTSOs also subbing on it (who apparently don't have any specs or just don't have to follow the same specs we do), the lists invariably come through on VR with totally inconsistent punctuation. Such as this: MEDICATIONS:Ativan,ZofranDexamethasone.DiltiazemLanoxin. But should be this: M ...

What prior profession did you come from? Were you able to pass the CCS after graduation? How long did it take you to find a job? Did your CCS help even though you had no coding experience? What kind of entity are you working for? Are you glad you chose Andrews? Any other comments for me? (I am about to apply there) ...

If anything..they are simply a Sales Convention for MTSOs and only have their interest at heart. There are never topics that relate to working as an MT or being properly represented. Instead we get the never ending changing BOS, or the CMT certification which AGAIN has changed...and btw..took a look a "sample" test and it has NOTHING to do with being an MT! It was more for a clinician. We are language specialists..not clinicians. I have been an MT for over 20 ...

I finally have the opportunity to get out of this work-at-home situation and go to a hourly paying job doing radiology transcription. The only radiology I have done is the usual radiology dictated on reports in the acute care setting. In your honest opinions, do you think that someone who has been doing acute care for 15 years could transition over to radiology? Thanks ...

I am beginning to hate the fact that I took this job. They keep calling us off or switching us to clinic work or something else. This is one of the worst places I have ever worked. I am going to have to find something else. ...

For the first time in 6 years, I am job hunting. Sadly, things seem to be going downhill fast with the employer I have been with for just over 6 years now and I have a strong feeling that it's time for me to start exploring other options. I just dusted off and updated my resume and sent it to a couple of companies who have ads posted. It has been so long since I have had to apply for jobs. My question is how long to you wait after sending your resume before follo ...

I had been wondering how I was going to come up with a down payment to register for the Andrews coding course and it looks like I will be able to do it in a week. I am so happy I could cry buckets. I have not been an MT as long as some, but I entered the field because I love research and anything medical related. When I started as an MT, MTSOs still wanted blanks and everything else researched for as perfect a document as possible. I still have issues with spending ...

and educating them about what truly constitutes a STAT. Just because something is dictated by a resident does not mean it is a stat, especially if the discharge was 4 months ago. Of course, I also have fantasies of conducting a class for residents, helping them to utilize their critical thinking skills and critically evaluate the pertinent information for the report instead of talking for 30-45 minutes about stuff that does not need to be on the chart for the umpteenth time. If ...

I am so sorry if this has been posted before. I looked but didn't see any other posts. I applied with M*Modal a while back but landed a different MT job that I'm happy with. But these people still will NOT stop e-mailing me and calling me and leaving automated voicemail messages. ONE voicemail message is quite enough. If I was genuinely interested in working for them, I probably would have called them back, ya think?? (And boy, it's really nice to know I am not a human being t ...

that is less than 30 lines; dictator who repeats every sentence with 1 subtle change; DEAD AIR, etc. It is stressful enough that I'm losing money today but to be stressed out about line count and being perfect...I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!!!!!! ...

I was just looking at the Word Help board - I can't imagine working at home by myself, having no one to ask for help. When I first started, you could turn to the person next to you and get some help. They've really been thrown to the wolves. Good luck, all!! ...

as the poster below. I think the lag in our computers now with the 6.1 is either because the ILPs are "observing" while we are typing or there is a spyware included to watch our keystrokes and screens. Getting paranoid. ...

Today is payday. Never knowing what it will be until I check my bank account, I get this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach while logging on to my bank's website. It's sort of like butterflies, but not as pleasant a feeling! This morning, I took a look at the last five deposits. Most are within 20 or 30 dollars, but they all are getting progressively smaller, smaller, smaller. Compared to two years ago, it's literally half of what I was making. Egads! Soon I will be p ...

I know a lot of you work for companies right now that do not have enough work and I can truly empathize with you, have been in that boat as well. But the company I work for begs us to do overtime every single solitary weekend, aka Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have been in this field for almost 30 years and quite honestly I am burnt out. I put in my 40 hours a week and feel the rest of my life is my time. I have neck problems and back problems as well, but still manage to do my best and am also ...

Who are actually listening and believing this BS that WMJ is spewing out. She or he does NOT have your best interest at heart. If you choose to do the sick out I can guarantee that you will not have a job when you try to log back in on the 2nd. We work in an at will employment job. They can lock you out and not even give you a reason for letting you go. We do not have a union which would protect you in a strike situation though I for one still would not want to be in a union because they ar ...

The so called random dictation is designed to slow you down, makes me mad when I just want to get the work done without constanting stopping and starting, rearranging the formats, etc. ...

a note and say, "Hey, the reason you have having to s-p-e-l-l these simple words now is because your chart notes are being done in India." All part of the plot to push for off-shoring the work because there are "so few qualified US MTs." ...

they'd be too old to start at the bottom and no one will hire them, consider getting your real estate license. It only takes 2 months, and this happens to be an industry where it seems age actually is of benefit! Trust me, I've done it and now an apartment manager in a small complex where I pay no rent and no utilities. Try it if interested, you might like it :) ...

I made 99.125 on my audit this month. Why do i feel this company still considers this failing. One thing is for sure, I cannolt wait until I get another job. ...

I feel like calling up my QAM and asking HER what I should put in this report. - whacked too many times
