unsure where to pause

Dictator states to another in the room - What's the button for pause on this thing? Other person in room - Don't worry about it, just let it run...the secretary doesn't care. What!? Thank you for encouraging dead spaces in the dictation, I enjoy sitting here not getting paid, listening to papers shuffling and chattering in the background. Oh, and I'm a Medical Transciptionist/Medical Language Specialist, not the secretary. ...

Started a new job this week and I can't see how I can make minimum production due to the long pauses in every report I have done so far.

I'm sure others know the stress of the threat of termination with each long pause dimishing their counts. ...

How would the doctors like it if every patient they saw paused for over a minute between words? Then they complain when we are out of TAT. Can they comprehend that for all the hours MTs are left sitting at their desks not producing because they are waiting and waiting for the next word to finally ooze from the dictator's mouths, they are delaying TAT for that report? I wonder if they are aware how much time we spend working while producing nothing. ...

Does anyone know if EMRs still even have a pause command? Do dictators have any concept that they are forcing us to sit idly without pay while they flip pages looking for lab results, or reviewing a chart?

Hi. I wanted to post this here because I need to get some feedback to my situation. I have been an MT over 20 years. About 2 years ago, I went through a divorce and became self-supporting.

The last 1-1/2 years I saw such poverty, I lost my car, my home and got lots of help from Salvation Army while working 2 MT jobs which barely kept me alive. I worked for on ...

What happened?? With my own accounts I've worked for 100 different doctors and every single one used the pause as a standard courtesy. Today - not ONE single dictator uses it, yet some still keep saying "sorry" when they have more than 10 seconds of dead air time. Do the dictators now consist of a new generation of rudeness or did they "forget" to include a "PAUSE" command in the programs??? ...
