Yawning doctors....

This ANP who is dictating can't make up her mind what she wants to say and constantly corrects herself and then keeps yawning, but doesn't stop the recording or even stop speaking while she's yawning. It's annoying me PLUS it's making me sleepy now myself. More coffee, please!!!! ...

I very seldom vent or complain, but it has just got to me today. This surgeon does such good dictation, EXCEPT when he yawns and continues to dictate. How in the world does he think we can understand him when he does this. It is not a little yawn either. It almost makes me shutter when he does it. I am sorry, I just had to finally vent after listening to him for 10 years. ...

Had to leave a blank due to yawn (the doc, not me, although this can be a snooze fest at times). I was hoping to fill in the blank later on when I got to the assessment. Darn if the doc didn't yawn again over the same thing. What are the chances of that? Oh, well. ...

She started out the dictation yawning and apologized for it the first time but then went on to do it 3 or 4 more times. It's a good thing I'm near the end of my night because now I'm yawning like crazy. ...

I didn't go to dental or even hygenist school. I have no idea what your saying and ASR is having a field day. ...

Just need a breather. Or IV tranquilizers. In the middle of a 25-minute dictation by a sleepy, yawning, slurring, ESL - we're not talking an endoscopy or hernia repair, it's a brain surgery, and I'll be darned if I can understand a word. More blanks than anything else. I would love him to just hear himself when he's awake. Just listen to himself and ask himself how anyone could possibly understand a word. I only hope he wasn't as ...

From the KevinPho MD site: There was a time when doctors were doctors. There was a time when young men and women sacrificed the best years of their youth, learning to treat patients and conquer diseases, not to become typists, paper pushers, data-entry clerks, or to have hospitals, insurance companies, and the federal government dictate to us how to practice medicine. There was a time when doctors were trusted. There was a time when we were not guilty until proven ot ...

Doesn't it drive you nuts when a doctor consistently cuts himself off when he dictates? I sometimes get half words, the last couple letters of words, places where I haves to leave blanks because they say something like: EKG showed (silence) rhythm. What kind of regular? Regular rate and....? Arrrrggggghhhh! Sorry. Needed to vent. I make sure to send a note that dictation cuts out. What I really want to say is the doctor dictates like an idio ...

I have heard Indiana Jones, however. ...

I dispise doctors who not only eat while dictating, but eat with their mouths right up to the phone, openly smacking loudly - smack-smack-smack. What disgusting pigs! I hate them! They obviously aren't taught any table manners where they come from. ...

encounters, are they required to have a short course on proper dictation procedure? I would think, being that this medical record is sooo freaking important that we are drawn and quartered if not perfect, that these professionals who generate these reports would also be schooled about proper pronunciation, enunciation, etc. before they throw it out there for us to perfect. Getting kind of sick of these lazy, mush-mouthed, slurred, rapid and mispronounced dictations. ...

Should have their right to dictate revoked. What a looong day ...

If anyone knows any kind of info at all for this company I would love to hear from you. I am supposed to be talking to someone tomorrow from this company and I would love to know if they are legit. Thanks so much! ...

Why is it the doctors cannot give you the information you need in the order you need it. They all know the standards and they will sure raise hell if we deviate. Would it be too much to ask for just a little consideration in this regard so we are not constantly jumping all over the place? I mean, heck, their God, God can do anything. ...

Has anyone worked with this company before, not seen much posted for them, is that good or bad? ...

I can't find a dang thing in the archives about this company. HELP. Thanks everyone. ...

To the poster who posted below looking for information on TTD. They don't have their own accounts. They work for Superior Global and maybe others. Superior pays them to find ICs. They probably pay them 4 cpl and then TTD pays you a cruddy 3 cpl to edit VR reports. They don't offer direct deposit because Superior is paying them and then they pay you, which is why you have to wait a month for your check. I would never work for a company that is just bascially an agency hir ...

I accidentally posted this on the main board too so sorry for the repeat post. I saw a post here that TTD was a bad company to work for. I recently graduated form CS and I have been looking for a job for the past 2 weeks. TTD offered me a job without doing any testing and I thought that was odd. I really want to gain experience since but I don't want to work for a horrible place. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ...

I have gone through the past several months and I saw one post about The Transcription Doctors being a bad company to work for. I was wondering if anyone has had a good experience or if they are all still bad comments. I just recently graduated from CS and I have been looking for jobs for a while. I was offered the job at TTD without doing any testing and I just thought it was odd. I just want to gain experience but Im nervous to work there after what I have read. Any input would be greatl ...

My recommendation is to have any MT who feels her time is valuable to Stay very far away from this company. I am going to be very careful in how I word this. Company did not pay me correctly. Our line counts did not match. Experienced problems with line count accuracy early in employment. Kept accurate records of line counts (their counts and my counts). Was only paid 1/10th of first invoice. Inquired about issue several times, and only when I sent an email to ...

Why, oh why, oh why can't the students hit the PAUSE button when they are dictating to gather their thoughts? Why must I sit through listening to page turning, and "thinking" noises? Meanwhile, time is money in this job ... and I really am getting tired of this! My main account is a large teaching hospital, and so I get alot of students, residents, fellows ... etc. <grrrrrrrrr> OK .. I feel better now that I just vented! :) ...

I was an IC for TTD for about 6 months. Has anyone gotten their W2 from them yet? (the one in California). Thanks! ...

Do you have to work a month before getting your first check at Transcription Doctors? How frequently do they pay? Do they offer direct deposit? Thanks ...

In the salutation would it be Dear Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones? Or would it be Dear Doctors Smith and Jones? ...

that they are dictating for ASR and how to do it, punctuation and all. They need to take some responsibility for this. If they would dictate for ASR, ASR output would likely be better. I base this on the doctors who do dictate everything, including punctuation and the fact the output is good for this doctors. Although, these doctors do tend to speak in a more understandable manner. I spend too much time stopping to punctuate, and I shouldn't need to. ...

PLEASE BE ADVISED---THIS ACCOUNT PROMISES WORK, BUT RUNS OUT OF IT VERY FAST. THEY ONLY WILL LET YOU WORK ON ONE ACCOUNT AT A TIME UNTIL YOU ARE RELEASED. YOU WILL MAKE NO MONEY!!!! ...

I am intersted in some current info on this company. I have read the archives and just want to check and see from any current employees if their payroll issues are resolved. Also, info on platform, dicitators, etc. Thank you! ...

Ok, I'm curious, but can doctos do their dictations anywhere? A lot of times, I hear a bunch of doctors in like some sort of dictation room. You can hear other doctors doing dications. I just picture a bunch of people in white coats sitting at a desk talking into a phone. lol. Other times it sounds like they're in an emergency room while an emergency is going on. People are asking for things, things are clanging around. Sometimes it sounds like they're in their own home. Had an ...

Aren't they the ones who don't pay? I've seen something in the past about this. ...

I recently applied with Transcription Doctors and almost immediately recieved a "new hire packet." I spent hours filling out all of the paperwork and now recieve no response, via email or phone, from either of the contact points! Does anyone out there either work for them, or have this same issue? Thanks so much! ...
