Just ranting - bear with me - ty in advance


Posted: May 08, 2013

I just have to vent - bear with me.  We make 100,000 corrections on this  ASR and I get in trouble for the one mistake I made.  I understand I made a mistake and I own up to it, but it irritates the crap out of me when doctors dictate mistakes.  And stupid ones at that!  I mean what about the one I fixed for the doctor (maybe I shouldn't have) who dictated that an elderly patient use a Cepacol SUPPOSITORY for their sore throat?  I can't speak for anybody else, but there's nothing I can stick in there that would help my sore throat.  Or the doctor that said the patient's condition was failing AFTER they died.  Ya think?  Pretty sure he meant to say BEFORE but what am I going to do?  Can't read his mind.  btw, I blanked that one.  Finally, the doctor, with no accent, who just told me the patient has a holy systolic murmur.  What, I'm working on the Pope now?  It made me think about the cholecystectomy I had a few years ago and how maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong.  I'm going to change it to caHOLYcystectomy! I think I feel a little better now, tyvm for your patience. 

So much to hate... - so little time! NM

Thanks for the laugh! I needed a good one at the end of a long day. I was just sitting here thinking that maybe I was getting a deep vein thrombosis from sitting so much but now I feel better!

Just Ranting
Nov 02, 2009

I was switched CCMs a month or so back.  One of the accounts from my previous CCM provided a lot of work and we were still able to access it.  Well that account is going to Voice Recognition, and my current CCM has yet to move us to her BOB accounts.  So starting next week, who knows how much work I will have to do.  Her accounts take a while to get access on.  I don't know what the hold up is, but I am not happy about.  No one seems to be listening to me when I talk about it (or give ...


Ranting And Raving
Mar 16, 2010

My appeals hearing was held regarding my initial TRA denial due to the fact that I quit and was not "laid off."  The hearing officer could not say enough bad things about Medquist and the fact that they were covering up their lack of work for employees by reducing wages again and again.  We may not be able to fight back collectively, but the petition #72153 has given us something we should take. ...


Doc Ranting About Insurance While Dictating
Oct 16, 2010

a doc dictating on a teenager with new-onset seizures, numbness, slurred speech had ranted a little and made it clear he was angry in his report when an insurance company would not cover a brain MRI on this person.   Family were worried enough to get one anyway and it found a glioma that the CT didn't pick up.  I pay 750 a month for health insurance, I think I would make quite the stink if this happened to me.  ...


Dictator Ranting About How His Stats Aren't Typed
Nov 30, 2013

I just had a dictator rant to me about how none of his stat reports are being typed in an urgent fashion. The thing is, he only dictates that they are stat reports, saying "this is a priority report" on his dictations, but never marks the reports themselves as stats so they end up being distributed as regular dictations. It looks like someone wasn't paying attention in training. He must think we all have telepathy and know what is dictated in a report before even getting them. ...


Please Bear With Me As Some Of You Are

using platforms that use other expander programs.  I used to work for a company that had the expander as part of the program.  I have never used Shorthand, Instant Text, etc.  I have never had to use Word either.  Now I am going to be switching to BeyondTx.  Does this have an expander included, or do I have to incorporate an expander into it, or what?  :).  Obviously, this is not too hard to do, as many of you seem very familiar with all of it.  I just fee ...
