had a doc today who said it was his 1st time dictating...sm

doofuses puts in the wrong work type, the report should be sent back to them to fix. How hard is to just put in the correct type? I guess that's too simple. ...

For the last 6 weeks, my company has not had radiology work coming in to be able to get the required line count. We have had discussions on this, even trained for several accounts, etc... Yesterday I got an e-mail explaining that because I did not meet the line count for the pay period that I was cut off of all my benefits and now part time. The company boasts on the main page about how they have over double the amount of offshore MTs than stateside, this makes me mad. I ...

My first adventure with a word expander (besides auto correct/auto expand) so I can't figure out if I'm more apprehensive or more excited...Crossing my fingers as I start my shift that SmarType is as great as I've heard it is and really a valuable tool! ...

So how are everyone's time cards looking for last week? Has anyone had an improved line rate or are things still looking dismal? ...

or did some one say we will be compensated for this? Just wondering because it is past time for me to get off and I am so tired, not sure I can work much longer. ...

in the proper manner, you won't be considered for any of the new, exciting, lower paying jobs they offer -- oh no! LOL In reality, I am so tired of dealing with the low work/no work situation and the out and out rudeness of the A's, I really do not care anymore. ...

Closure was carried out with 2-0 nylon horizontal mattress sutures. The patient tolerated the procedure well. There were no complications. A s/l "bulgie dealings" ulnar gutter splint was applied. ...

By this time in the day, usually, there has been at least 7 emails - several from QA, at least 2-3 backlog updates, and 1 reminder to work our shift and work our entire shift. ...

The doctor is not including the word mg with doses of medication. Do I just transcribe what I hear or insert it? IE- simvastatin 10, vitamin E 400 b.i.d., metformin 850 b.i.d., ibuprofen 400 p.r.n ...

This is driving me crazy! My main account has several docs that dictate their review of systems and PE out of body system order, like instead of the neck head down, they dictate the abdomen or extremities first. ...

3-day hopsital stay discharge summary. It is 30 minutes long. This going to be fun. ...

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. ...

He does this all the time...turns a 1.5-2 min dictation into a 15 minute dictation. I fast forward through it, but I still have to "listen" to the whole file before I can turn in the dictation. This is on top of being a horrible dictator; he whispers, shuffles papers, etc, and has extremely long pauses between words. Gah!!!! Okay, just had to get that out of my system. Thanks! ...

I have always thought the numbers less than 10 should be in numeral form if referring to medication. So I thought 1 tablet of Vicodin a day would be the appropraite way to type it or 2 tablets of Vicodin a day. However, I am not sure. Any ideas? ...

I've got a resident dictating and is on the PE. "Blood pressure 110/80 and ___________ was 65 and regular." I know that the blank would be heart rate, but the res says something like "balance" or "bowels"....is there a new term or an old one that has escaped me? TIA ...

I'm going freaking nuts! I am trying to transcribe a resident's dictation (bad enough), but she's smacking and chewing gum throughout the whole thing. It's so loud that I can hardly make out what she's saying. I don't very often rant and rave, but ... I DON'T GET PAID TO HEAR SOMEONE CHEW GUM!!!! ...

Okay, if you're going to have an RN, FNP, or PA dictate for you, at least make sure they know the terminology! I just suffered through at 10 minute discharge summary on a patient post CVA, and this lady was reading the CT scan and MRI reports of the brain into the record with clearly no idea at all of what she was reading or what it meant or how to pronounce the parts of the brain. Thank goodness I've been around long enough to be able to get and idea and fill in so ...

SO SICK OF DICTATORS EATING HARD CANDY, CHEWING GUM AND EATING CRUNCHY FOOD WHILE DICTATING!!!!!!!!!! NERVE WRACKING AND TIME CONSUMING WHILE WAITING FOR THEM TO MOVE THEIR FOOD AROUND AND SWALLOW!!! NOT TO MENTION THE RATTLING OF CHIP BAGS....HOW UNPROFESSIONAL CAN YOU GET?????????? ...

The doc sneezes twice and I muttered to myself "God bless you." Apparently someone in the office did, too, because then the doc said "thank you." The timing was perfect and it made me laugh. ...

dictating lab values: albumin 2.7, low. s/l "HU" ratio low at 0.6. ?? Thank you!! ...

Note to all doctors who eat while dictating... STOP IT! Okay, you jerks swore to do no harm. You violate that oath every single time you pick up a phone and dictate. Eating while dictating is just one of the many things you do. How would you like it if someone came up to you and started chewing their food right in your ears? Oh, you wouldn't? Gee, could have fooled me! What's that you say? No one would show a doctor that kind of disrespect? You are nothing but an over-educated, self in ...

Anyone have thoughts on using program such as Dragon to "re-dictate" reports to save some transcription time and hopefully save further wear and tear? Not an expensive program start-up but willing to spend some time to set up a more basic program to work. My shoulder is nearly frozen, again. Us old-schoolers are wearing out. Thanks! ...

Dictating ultrasound findings and S/L "slavic" stones or "slatic" stones??? #&%& mumblemouths! ...

had a doc today who said it was his 1st time dictating...sm - Chickpea

Good dictators - zenaida

Ominous - Shipwrecked
