Doctors make me feel so uncomfortable - hatedoctors
Posted: Nov 20, 2009
when the account is verbatim and they speak so incoherently. Why do they do this and yet expect a perfect report? I am to type exactly what they say because it is "verbatim", but their actual speech makes both of us look pretty stupid and I resent having my name associated with the report. Anybody else feel the way I do??
Me too. If they care so little about these medical/legal - documents, then they must care -sm
[ In Reply To ..]even less about their patients' safety, health and wellbeing. If I could get my healthcare at a vet instead of an MD, I'd do it.
RE: DOCTORS - HeidiHo
[ In Reply To ..]So true. I have found vets, and as an animal lover, I have dealt with quite a few, for the most part, caring, compassion professionals who cared about their patients. Most of them do go out of thei way, follow up on sick patients on their own time, some provide free/low cost care for poor patients rather than have the pet put down for lack of $... 1 vet here in the Bronx had his office basement set up as an "overnight informary" for his patient's pets. There are several vets online who will give free medical advice advice on a Q&A website.
How many MD's would go that "extra mile" for a patient? When I go to see a doctor, I feel like I'm given the "bum's rush" each time ... as far as dictating docs, they can't slow down to catch their breath, mumble, could care less about the quality of their dictation .. hope I never have to rely on their services.
Yes! - SickandTired
[ In Reply To ..]The only think I hate more is having QA rearrange the verbatim and call me down on it.
I wonder, if QA is so good at crystal balling transcription, why aren't they typing this garbage????

Facilities Cant Make Effort To Insist Doctors Dictate
Jan 18, 2012
the effort to insist that ESL learn to speak English as least good enough to be understood by the average patient, much less MT, and the doctors cant make the effort to dictate in a responsible, professional manner. Yet, MT/ Ed are suppose to put in a super human effort to fix this mess, usually to the detriment of our paychecks. Why should we, last person to touch the document, be expected to take the time, which we do not get paid for, to make sense of this mess. Facility ...
Since Some Of Us Are Uncomfortable Taking The Survey

I won't take the survey because even though they say it's "confidential", I've owned websites in the past and I can tell you that surveys are NEVER confidential ... someone *always* has your information and knows who posted what - and quite frankly I don't want my name on any "list" because I'm a single mom and need this job for now. So, for those of us who don't want to take the survey, what would make things better for YOU at Medquist? I was just ...

"There Was A Time When Doctors Were Doctors" By James Ong
May 06, 2014
From the KevinPho MD site: There was a time when doctors were doctors. There was a time when young men and women sacrificed the best years of their youth, learning to treat patients and conquer diseases, not to become typists, paper pushers, data-entry clerks, or to have hospitals, insurance companies, and the federal government dictate to us how to practice medicine. There was a time when doctors were trusted. There was a time when we were not guilty until proven ot ...

I am up to 1800 lines but usually do 2200-2500 a day on straight transcription. I don't know how I am going to feed my children. I am a single mom and the head of household.

Today is payday. Never knowing what it will be until I check my bank account, I get this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach while logging on to my bank's website. It's sort of like butterflies, but not as pleasant a feeling! This morning, I took a look at the last five deposits. Most are within 20 or 30 dollars, but they all are getting progressively smaller, smaller, smaller. Compared to two years ago, it's literally half of what I was making. Egads! Soon I will be p ...

I know a lot of you work for companies right now that do not have enough work and I can truly empathize with you, have been in that boat as well. But the company I work for begs us to do overtime every single solitary weekend, aka Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have been in this field for almost 30 years and quite honestly I am burnt out. I put in my 40 hours a week and feel the rest of my life is my time. I have neck problems and back problems as well, but still manage to do my best and am also ...

Who are actually listening and believing this BS that WMJ is spewing out. She or he does NOT have your best interest at heart. If you choose to do the sick out I can guarantee that you will not have a job when you try to log back in on the 2nd. We work in an at will employment job. They can lock you out and not even give you a reason for letting you go. We do not have a union which would protect you in a strike situation though I for one still would not want to be in a union because they ar ...

She said the program wasn't perfect and didn't have every drop down thing she needed, but she could type in phrases herself whenever needed. Said the docs are all on board and loving it:(:(:( I guess this is what' ...

How Some Docs Feel About EMR.........

Had an appt with my doctor; she was slowly typing as we talked. I asked her how she liked typing her own records. She said she hates it but has no choice as it is required now. Apparently some companies are telling the hospitals that EMR is required by law. That isn't exactly true, and the companies (such as MQ) do a lot of fibbing and twisting of the truth. While it will be required that medical records be electronic....HOW they get there is where they are fib ...

I was never even told how to clock in and out until a week into working and that was because I asked. I am here because my old job, which I loved, was outsourced to MQ. I did clinic notes for so long for the same doctor that I feel like I am just starting out and it is scary. Any ...
