Too many stressful emails!! - Going Crazy


Posted: Jan 09, 2015

Sometimes I actually think this job is okay and then in one day I get emails saying I am getting a new TSM, I failed a job because I didn't flag a DOCTOR'S MISTAKE, and I might need a new computer for the new platform upgrade. Does anyone care about me? I know what you are going to say...NO!

MT dinged due to not flagging doctor mistake - is absolutely ridiculous

[ In Reply To ..]
As transcriptionists, we are NOT qualified to QA a physician's work. Yes, we can catch some of their mistakes and flag them for clarification, but to assume that we are in the position of QA'ing the physicians' entire report is ridiculous. That's what they are supposed to have peer review for....where physicians QA other physicians.

Dinged for not flagging - rock bottom

[ In Reply To ..]
When in doubt, flag 'em all. They cannot get you for not flagging, judgment call.

I simply say, well, the meaning of the sentence was unclear, didn't make any sense, was contradictory to what was previously in report, etc.

Save your butt.

Waiting For The Axe To Fall Is STRESSFUL!
Nov 04, 2009

The account I am on now is a very large ******** that apparently have in their account absolutely no off-shoring (though I'm sure MQ could get around this), and as o YET have not run into the NJA situations (in fact we are usually behind and being offered OT).  However, I can't help when I'm reading this board and seeing a lot of NJA complaints that this will soon enough happen to us all.  If I didn't come to this board I'd be blissfully unaware.  ...


No Work Equals Stressful Day
Dec 26, 2014

With work just barely trickling in, it was enough to keep me from OOW status but the outcome has been a lot of stress. I was stuck doing an account I've never seen, reviewing a ton of specs, going over the report many, many times to clean up any blanks/issues, and looked up so many old notes to get the right wording and format that literally my right hand is numb from mouse use. My effort to still provide the best quality I can resulted in barely anything completed in that time, a laughab ...

I Have Had It. I Get Emails The Other Day
Sep 21, 2010

that we cannot send reports with more than 3 blanks through on TWO of the accounts I work on.  Right now, I have one of the worst dictators on one of those accounts.  She is ESL and she whispers.  To top it off, someone is standing very close to her running a VACUUM CLEANER. I CAN'T HEAR her because she is whispering and the vacuum is running.  So, yay me.  I will probably have more than 3 blanks because of all this and will have to send it to QA even though they ...


Emails Like The One We Just Got About PTO,
Oct 17, 2014

all the red tape, the power over our lives, no flexibility anymore, no mercy in case of emergencies or appointments, lists and lists of rules.... I work every single other holiday there is all year long, hoping to take off Tgiving and Xmas.  I work NY Eve, NY, Easter, 4th of July, Labor Day, Memorial Day, etc.  But even though there's never any work on those 2 major holidays, apparently now we MUST work one of them, i.e., ruin all family plans just to get NJA all day anyway.  ...


When I Get Those Emails Saying
Dec 07, 2014

I feel like saying: Hey, no thanks, I already have 4 accounts, 2 of which I have no interest in. Here's an idea, how about you get all those people on my accounts, which I have been doing for years, off of them, so that I can have my work back? How about you get them off my accounts and give THEM the new accounts? I have enough trouble making decent line counts at all because: (a) no work because overstaffed on my primary. (b) secondary and tertiary accounts unfamiliar and pages of new ...

And I feel like I need to take an ASR refresher after reading the posts below.  For one thing, I complete forgot about the F11.  ...


What Do You All Think Of The Below Message. Ccm Emails
Nov 23, 2011

My ccm sends out emails about her personal life to share.  I do not know how far we can go on here but its about her expected bundle of joy in the not too far off future. To me it does not seem professional.  The first time I saw the subject line I thought we were all getting a raise and then I thought wait, that would be wayyyy off here.  What do you all think? ...


Emails Monitoring How Much We Do
May 07, 2012

Well, I will not be reading these emails calculating how much time we are working and "goofing off."  They will only make me less motivated and quite frankly angry.  I am not a robot, there are times after a long difficult report that I have to step away from the computer to give my brain a few minute break.  As long as I do the required long count and then some, I will not concern myself with this emails. ...

Ever Get The Emails That The Client Is
Dec 17, 2012

Well I would like to email the client and complain to them about the dictations that they expect me to make sense out of.  I have this one particular doc that is not only speaking so fast the tape is cut down to 80%, but she is whispering.  Afterall it is confidential info, so lets whisper so you can't hear the mess she is attempting to say.  Ugh all in a days work of stress and frustration.  Here comes my low LPH. ...


Reviewing Old Emails...
Apr 18, 2013

Slightly paranoid about being audited now since I'm reporting NJA instead of working 24/7.  It's amazing just how many reminder emails we get and how many minute details for each account.  I'm forwarding to my email to have just in case I'm ever managed out and need to defend myself along with the good and sometimes bad audits I've had.  I'm human.  Don't make huge amount of errors, but definitely not perfect...   ...

Watch Your Emails
Oct 03, 2013

Just recently our QC sent out an email to an MT in our group for a HIPAA error and blind copied all the MT/MME in the BOB.  This poor MT would never have known unless others came forward and reported that they got this email in error. Make sure that if you get an email it is only coming to you.  I really hope she files a complaint with HR for shaming her in front of her peers.  Don't look, don't share apparently does not apply to anyone other than MT/MME. ...


Does Anyone Know How To Block Certain Emails?

I would rather not receive emails from FIASCO and would like to block them. Is that possible? Their nastygrams cause me to make MORE mistakes, not less. When are they going to realize the damaging psychology behind this charade? ...

So What Is The Point Of All These Emails Anyway
Dec 10, 2014

Backlog is such and such, and I care about this why? I have a schedule to work, if there is no work, I sign off because there is no work. If the backlog is low, I can't say screw it and go back to bed, I work until there is no work. And the Smart Summary, I have no idea what the purpose of that is, anyone? Quality and blanks reports,hum, no idea there either. Talk about waste of money and justifying your existence, not to mention wasting my time. ...

Pointless Emails = POD TAT- Sm
Jan 08, 2015

What is the point of posting the POD's TAT's??!! LOL!  I mean really, does the fact that our accounts are in or out of TAT having any bearing on how I do my job.  The answer is "NO"  More useless information IMO.   The  today an email with everyone's PTO and no pay hours.. seriously??! we can all find this information on our timesheets.  But it is interesting to see that some have little or not PTO left like me and some have 60+ hours.  Oh but w ...


Multiple Emails
Jan 15, 2015

We seem to be getting more and more emails charting our progress, charting our errors, charting how much time we are idle.  You name it, these people are chart crazy.  I think they like the multiple colors.   I am worn out from it all.    If they spent half the time actually building us up with positives instead of negatives all the time, maybe, just maybe it would help our production.  ...


Where Are All The Shouting Emails?
Jan 22, 2015

I think I love my new TSMs. I don't miss the all-caps-rage emails telling me work is out of TAT. Do you think that might be why some TSMs got fired? Having too much work out of TAT and being annoying to their MLSs about it? ...


Nuance Emails
Feb 15, 2015

Many typical Nuance emails boil down to this: Thank you so much for all you do. We appreciate you so much. We are a team. You are so important to the care of the patients. We really need your help, many jobs out of TAT. Please help. We appreciate you so much. Yet, if they appreciate MTs so much, why do they pay minimum wage and, even worse, require this ridiculous thing called MUP? I didn't know being an MT was a volunteer job. ...

XXX Emails In My MQCentral Email
Mar 09, 2010

Does anyone else get XXX emails in their MQCentral email. I started getting it about 2 months ago and now everyday when I got in my email, I have at least 3 of emails to delete. I have accidentally deleted important emails because of this. I called support when it first happened as I saw it as a HIPPA infraction as I had assumed that MQCentral was a secure website. He told me that someone with my Medquist email address in their computer looks as these sites and that is how I've been getting ...
