Unbelievable MDs - Transcriber of the Gods

Posted: Feb 11, 2010

I was just told by a doc: *...left nare. That is N-A-R-E. There is no such word as naris, please stop transcribing this.*

WHAT!!! I don't know about you all, but since being a transcriptionist, I have lost most respect for physicians. If I ever need my appendix out, I would probably do it myself.

What's worse - shipwrecked

If he's saying that, obviously there are MTs out there transcribing "nark."

Was he drunk? - wow

I've had a few - like that over the years

I just keep typing it the correct way. If the client complains loud enough and MQ QA wants to change it to "nare" and send it back, so be it. I refuse to stress out over stupid things like this anymore.

Oh! What a d-o-r-k! I had one that said that "hepatomegaly" was constantly being spelled wrong and he spelled out
"h-e-p-a-t-o-m-e-l-g-i-a"... (emphasized the spelling a few times to boot)

Ah yes people, gaze in awe of the dictator gods...all that time spent on such higher education, only to create megalomaniacs and poor spellers! heehee!

Have a good MQ day!

I was getting audited today, noticed earlier in the day. They had my four jobs and I was maintaining a 96%. The last job they audited came back with a 81%! I looked at that job, saw 17 CORRECTIONS, 3 CRITICAL FB! yet when I listened and re-listened and read and re-read, I don't understand!!! I called this "expert" up and asked what was up. Apparently, AFTER the job was uploaded, the DOC DECIDED HER STANDARD INSERTED AND THE OLD REPORT DELETED! So t ...

anyone out there remember my post the other day about wanting to take pto this Friday and ccm waiting till the last minute to approve. Instead of the real approval in teamwork for pto yesterday I receive an email I failed the high and mighty 99% audit. Funny, I had not been audited since last July believe or not and then I was "randomly" selected. I guess they can't see anyone wanting to have a little happiness at any given anytime. ...

I ended up today with a report of transcription today with 21 splits, different reports in it. The doctor just dictated 1 report after the other. In between each report I of course had to research and find the new ADT. It took me 3 hours to get through about 50 minutes of actual dictation. I don't know if he always dictates like this or not, I just know I had to work 2 hours past my shift to finish his mess knowing I'd lose it all if I didn't finish it. I sure will complain to my ...

An account was temporarily added to our pool. The ADT instructions run a full page. All this is to be done without compensation of course. Has anyone else read this? It is in the West. I think any MT getting this as a "helper" account should just help herself to the dictation and bypass all the ridiculous instructions. They seem to think MM is a charity and we are their contributors. ...

So Mmodal decided to eliminate my position and I was without work for quite some time. I took my 401K distribution to survive on. Just figured out my taxes and low and behold I owe what my 401 K distribution was. This country needs to get with it. My family would not have survived without that 401K distribution to live on, yet the government feels that I am overpaid or something. So sad. I am so disgusted. I put my heart in my job, lost it, and did what ...

Only work part-time, few days a week, so this week got four jobs audited at 100% each four days in a row, so they keep going until they can find an error and, of course, one small word was found incorrect! I have never had 5 audits in one week. How discouraging this is, very sad and pathetic. ...

For months you have complained about NJA and other people logging on randomly and taking your work away. So MQ comes up with a system whereby this will no longer be allowed to happen -- and you are now complaining about it too ? The point here is to make sure that you will have work at your scheduled time without other people hopping on and doing it. Isn't that what you have been wanting ?You have been really spoiled by MQ if you are used to logging on 15 minutes lat ...

Just checked out the job seeker's board and came across someone willing to work for 5 cents per 65-character line and 7 cents if the audio is poor quality. I just cannot believe someone would ADVERTISE or SELL themselves to work for such a low rate of pay, which probably would not even equal to minimum wage!!!!!! If you want to get screwed do not advertise, just go to work for a few of the national MTSOs that do not have a good reputation on this board!!!!!& ...

I cannot believe my eyes that Landmark is hiring, especially on Ex-Text. Those of us that work on that platform have been out of work all week (see below posts) and it looks like the owner is going on another hiring frenzy, which happens every few months. Proceed with caution! ...

This company is unbelievable....sent resume to them to get a letter back from stating that I had to have a proof of passing a certified HIPAA course which ok I get that but then it goes on to state that they want proof of having $300,000 of general liability insurance and want $250 dollars from me as a deposit on their software. Here is the biggest kicker.....they pay 7 cents a line. That is ridiculous. ...

I swear MM ASR is making up reports as it goes along. Very little is actually matching what the doctor says. Nothing but usual phrases in place of what is said. Although..... they did work on the system last night. ...
