I think the docs are catching on or something. All day today, I have gotten nothing but stat dictations by docs I haven't done in WEEKS and these are docs who usually do not do stat dictations unless absolutely necessary. I've also noticed that a lot of them are actually spelling out really simple medical terms or medicines which they have never done before. I wonder!

they are doing stats cause they probably have not - dictated in weeks from holidays

Just my opinion. I also think they spell a lot of terms because of India, but who really knows.

Do you think the doctors even know their work is going to India?

I got a stat yesterday on an op report which I thought was a bit odd.

I think they're starting to figure it out and I get the feeling, just a hunch that they're not too happy about it. In fact, there is a late report that has been just sitting there for almost 2 days that has not been assigned. Go figure.

I have seen a couple of posts recently about people getting fired. While I am just baffled about them getting fired in the first place, it makes me really wonder when they say "but I put in extra hours, worked extra hard, had perfect work but I was fired. I don't get it? If you are as great as you say you are or as hardworking and accurate as you would like others to believe, how do you still manage to get fired? ...

and maybe it doesn't make sense, but if you bring a patient's ADT info in through ADT and it says whether the pt is M or F, you'd think the ASR could be programmed to read that particular gender and then use it throughout the report, whether the dictator said he/she or him/her. I don't know...it was just something that crossed my mind while correcting the umpteenth ASR report with gender inconsistencies, when the dictator clearly stated the correct gender in the first p ...

Lately I have been setting a timer for an hour and have actually done this for a long time, just to see what I do in an hour... seems of late is getting harder to make more than 18.00 to 20.00 an hour... and I have 28 yrs experience... seems to me something has been set that makes it impossible to do any better, no matter the dictators, the difficulty of the dictation, etc, etc. etc... Anyone else seem to think something is up? Not mentioning company... ...

I have been a working MT (IC status) for 5 years now. I am finally making pretty good money, but I have always worked around kids and had to take the first few years slowly. I file jointly with my husband and even had him get more deductions taken out of his checks. This year, after deductions, I was able to get an 1800.00 refund. I consider this good considering I didn't pay anything all year (quarterly). Here is my observation...it seems the the MT field is a ...

It is my opinion that transcription, whether it be standard or voice, will be replaced altogether in the very near future. There may be some little independent offices or hospitals that continue, but not for long. I say this for 2 reasons. One is that the hospital I worked for locally started withe EHR about 5 years ago and the introduction of VR about 3 years ago with the push for the doctors to do their own "point & click" type of transcription. The software made a ...

Maybe it's just me, maybe it's because it's Friday. However, I am lucky enough to be filling in blanks on some standard reports with just left vs right. My shortcuts are L for left and R for right. Have you ever noticed that L is on your right hand and R is on your left? For some strange reason, I'm having trouble getting that today!! Maybe some wine after my shift will help me feel better. ...
