Do you ever get so sick of a specific dictator's voice that you - just want to slap the face right off them? nm

Shame on us for sending something to QA because the dictator didn't enunciate. Shame on us for leaving a blank for the words cut off while using their pause command. Shame on us for allowing the doctor to input the wrong MRM. Shame on us for questioning dosage of Hydrocodone, 1,000 mg. How dare we alert them that the patient is allergic to a prescribed med. How dare we alert them to an incomplete dictation How stupid of us to not know exactly what medication was covered by a cough. I ...

I was wondering, is anybody making any money at all on voice? I keep hearing just minimum or maybe a little more. I call minimum wage 7.50 to 8.00 an hour. My experience with it was at one point I was told that I hadn't made enough for minimum and they had to do make-up pay. So how is everybody's experience with voice? I run from it, and I just want to know if anybody really can make an money? Thanks. ...

I just spoke with my TAA representative and he told me when you apply for UI through TAA, use the Medquist TAW#72153. This is the official, approved number given to our beloved company proving they are getting rid of our American jobs to Indian workers. The most important paragraph I found in the approved petition was: "All workers of MedQuist, Inc., Mount Laurel, New Jersey including workers at home sites throughout the United States, who became totally or partially separated from ...

I am a big cardiology buff and would love to do only cardiology transcription. If anyone has knowledge of places that have a lot of cardio accounts, would you be kind enough to point me in their direction. You can e-mail if you don't want to put names in open. I can offer help in return too as able. TIA. ...

Specific regions??? I wish. I am supposed to be West but have reports from California, Oregon, New Jersey, Florida, Texas, Virginia, etc. You name it. Hardly ever the same client or dictator. This doesn't make it easy to make line count or any money having to start over with every report. ...

He says "pus aspirated from the abscess and the culture was specific for cipro. He was placed on cipro". Is that right? ...

Why, oh why can't all the dictators on one account use the same format????!!!!! Dozens of doctors on the same account and they all want different styles. Some want headings capped, some do not. Some want bold, some do not. Some want them underlined and some do not. Some want PHYSICAL EXAM, some PHYSICAL EXAMINATION, and then some EXAM. Followinig on down in a note, you can just imagine how many differences there are with each dictator. These guys ...

Full time is considered 40 hours/5500 lines per week, right? Is it a mix of straight typing and VR? Are there a lot of ESL...or about average? How much per pay period does the single healthcare premium cost? Are the benefits good? Is there PTO, 401K, etc? Are they very strict about your schedule...or could one work 2 hours outside their schedule either way (and still do 8 hours)? Do they provide the computer/equipment? Do you have to pay to lease their equipment ...

Very specific: Low pay, no incentive, extremely stringent time constraints, TIME CLOCK, MedQ does not support the workforce that currently makes their company. Acknowledged that MedQ is busily developing technology to do away with the MT, but in the meantime, need to pay the highly skilled MTs that keep them in business. Also acknowledged that personally I do not have a problem with a capitalist principle to develop said technology to make seemless VR into the EMR.. But until that ...

This is an orthopedic procedure, total elbow arthroplasty. Prior to closure, a new (s/l) PIGMAN catheter was placed in the superolateral aspect of the elbow as an inflow, and a medium Hemovac was placed in the distal lateral aspect of the elbow, both seen in the joint. ...

I scratch my head. I have always had a V-pedal and there are ads I come across that say in their 'MUST HAVES' an Infinity pedal is needed. Why? I can't see any reason for this? And of course, "if you don't meet these req's don't apply." Anybody relate? ...

Does anyone know of a company that sells custom covers for split keyboards? I have a Goldtouch I got off of eBay a couple of months ago and I need a cover. Sick of it getting dust bunnies. TIA ...

was complaining about your work, asked who the doc was and been told? ...

If the doctor is having the patient fill out a specific form and they name that specific form would it have quotes around it? ...

Are there any companies out there who let you just do your work and do not require you to give them a time or if you leave your computer that they constantly harrass you? ...

To pus-like or purulent. I was told 30 plus years ago to change it to pus-like, but had never seen anything verifying to do it per account until today. Just made good sense to change it. ...

Does anybody know how long a report stays in our specific work pool? I've done a break on a report hoping to get rid of it. But it keeps showing back up. I'm trying to make up some sick time, but I just can't understand this garble and have already spent way too much time trying to decipher it. I've been checking on and off for the last 30 minutes and it keeps showing back up. Help!!!! ...

If you get sick, as in in the middle of your shift, like asthma flaring, feeling worse than when I started this morning and will be lucky if stay out of hospital, kind of sick, CCM off, who do I contact? regional team lead? ...

you wanted to quit mid shift????? Sigh. I had one of those yesterday. Everytime I see his name come up in my cue I cringe!!!! He is horrible. Horrible accent. I did notice though after doing about 3 or 4 of his reports, my ears becames "trained" on him and I get better with him as time went by. But still, he is one that just makes my momentum (sp) drop drastically! Just venting!!! Thanks for letting me share. ...

This was a wonderful company to work for at first and now we have new QA people and I can't stand my job. Everything has been changed after 12 years of doing it one way, and if I do it the way the doctors have dictated/still dictate for years I get an email about how I need to follow the new rules. This is one QA person that has decided to change everything. We enter a lot of information that we're not paid for, and are now no longer paid for headers, and forget about BOS a ...

that he does NOT have to say "next sentence" before every sentence. I'm looking at 16+ minutes of this.....I'm just sayin! ...

Here I am, getting shuffled around in the 'cesspool', a dozen unfamilar accounts. You have your decent accounts with just the basics. Then, you have the CPs that are a long as novels and, if you miss something, you will hear about it, the fact it is in the CP and you shouldn't make such a mistake. I already spend so much time reading CPs, that I then get warnings that my production has fallen. So much for a consistent layout of CPs. I have to hunt for desired PE format, etc... ...

How do you keep your mind on it? I just sit here all day thinking how much I hate this. I'm not a newbie. I've really done this a long time. I would rather do ANYTHING than sit here and type or edit these boring reports. ...

I should have 6 hours in by now and I don't even have 3. If I didn't need the health insurance, I would quit in a heartbeat ...

that you quit worrying about all that nitpicky excrement just hoping you would finally get fired. I can't wait for my next audit. ...

We have an account that is 100% QA. So, so, so sick of the nitpicking "a" "the" crap. If you put "the patient" they change it to "patient." If you put "patient" they change it to "the patient." Sick of slowing down to catch every little "a" and losing money by the second. Screw it, I'm just gonna do my best and the MMEs can just have a field day with their petty changes. ...

i know this has been mentioned in here, but what is up with whole sections of a note done by ASR being missing? its bad enough that we get paid nothing to do this ASR crap, but when we have to actually transcribe whole sections we should be getting paid at the straight typing rate. i'm so close to just wiping out these ASR dictations and just typing them but i don't know how to do that...to change it from ASR to regular. i'm sure i'd get yelled at anyway. &n ...

Okay any CTLs observing this board, please, please, please explain to me why an MT/ME cannot ask for sick time? I have a doctor's appointment and the doctor/specialist WILL NOT make it for a day I am off. So, I requested time off w/o pay for the day. I don't have a problem making up the time, but I am already working constantly as it is to make up from a very serious illness I have and am trying to get well from. The email we got was very vague ...

What do you do if you are typing on a document for 780 seconds and the dictator at the very end tells you to cancel this and erase everything because she already dictated it? In all my years I was lucky enough not to get this until now. I was thinking about sending it in anyway because I just spent all this time on it!!!! ...
