Doctors telling me where to punctuate

Week #1 she had fatigue, muscle aches for which she used Advil, lightheadedness, and some depression. Specifically the part about "muscles aches for which she used Advil." I want to put another comma in there, but it doesn't look right to me. ...

Can someone please tell me how to correctly punctuate this sentence! Are the commas in the right spots or not? Thank you!!! There was a 2 cm, oozing, obviously infected crusty purulent lesion on the right forearm. ...

The patient's past medical history, review of systems, social history (She lives alone.), and family history are unchanged since her prior admission. ...

They are tracking every key movement while you're in docqscribe and sending it as incentive to help you produce more..Well you got me with a week where my internet was messed up bad,,,so all I can do is go up from here...No warning, they are just watching...I dont like being watched...Applied for a transcription job in a docs office, if the money is right, Im outta here... ...

they dont mention in the ad no pay increased and never making a living wage. ...

Please don't listen to those telling you that MT is in demand. Those are either schools. or recruiters who work for MTSOs. I suppose we could twist this to mean that MTs are still needed, but what they don't tell you is that the pay is horrendous these days. That being said, if one still chooses to do it, go in with your eyes WIDE OPEN and remember these posts...... ...

In FIESA I was corrected for, but didn't lose points for, leaving out the word "of" after the word "off," as I learned in transcription school that it is not correct to say "off of," you just need to say "off." Should I tell my TSM to mention this to the QA person or does no one care since I didn't lose any points? I have also seen blanks in reports that this QA person added to my reports for words that I know I typed correctly because I am very familiar with my accounts and have ...

this is a very dangerous thing to do for patient care? ...

Yesterday when I logged in to type in Emdat I could get a report started and then Emdat just shut down. I logged back in and it closed itself again without me telling it to. I was working fine Friday at the end of my shift. I don't understand what is going on with it this week. I can't call the Emdat help because I do not have long distance on my home phone. I emailed them but they didn't know how to help me. This is very frustrating. I CA ...

how many times I clicked the mouse while doing ASR last week and how many minutes I was idle in a document. Gee, could it be that I was looking up a word or checking on a previously dictated document in order to complete the document I was working on in order to produce a good report with no holes? If I want to click my mouse I'll click my mouse! Oh yes, the good news is the e-mail said that I could attend an online class so I can learn how to be more productive and use the "hot ...

obligations to them --WHAT ABOUT THEIR OBLIGATIONS TO US?!! I still see that "plenty of work TODAY" ad and it makes my blood boil. I have an email formulated regarding this subject with plans to send to my PM and possibly copy it to the VP of operations, although I am not sure it will do any good. At this point, though, it seems there is nothing left to lose. They need to address this issue and explain why they have no work for the current employees yet continue to ...

And how I need to do more, more, more. You're welcome MedQ (not) ...

and can't log in until I log off elsewhere???? Anybody else?? ...

It used to be you could file a ticket regarding a word, format or phrase and IT would fix it. Now, all I get is an email stating that the speech engine will learn it from all the MTs' corrections. I even presented them with proof MTs were editing a particular item correctly, and I got the same email! With that particular email, I was told to contact my TSM if there was still that problem. ...

I am part time 24 hours and not a peep out of my CCM/TSM/whatever she is yet. I would think I would be first in line because she is always giving me a hard time about my hours and my pause time, etc. Is it still coming? If not, why are they lying? ...

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 ...

Really, shouldn't he be more concerned about the content of the report rather than telling me where to put periods and commas and spaces. You know I just never would have figured that one out without him! ...

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

Doesn't it drive you nuts when a doctor consistently cuts himself off when he dictates? I sometimes get half words, the last couple letters of words, places where I haves to leave blanks because they say something like: EKG showed (silence) rhythm. What kind of regular? Regular rate and....? Arrrrggggghhhh! Sorry. Needed to vent. I make sure to send a note that dictation cuts out. What I really want to say is the doctor dictates like an idio ...

I have heard Indiana Jones, however. ...

I dispise doctors who not only eat while dictating, but eat with their mouths right up to the phone, openly smacking loudly - smack-smack-smack. What disgusting pigs! I hate them! They obviously aren't taught any table manners where they come from. ...

encounters, are they required to have a short course on proper dictation procedure? I would think, being that this medical record is sooo freaking important that we are drawn and quartered if not perfect, that these professionals who generate these reports would also be schooled about proper pronunciation, enunciation, etc. before they throw it out there for us to perfect. Getting kind of sick of these lazy, mush-mouthed, slurred, rapid and mispronounced dictations. ...
