I am SO SICK of lazy dictators. Have had to send - wannie


Posted: Mar 05, 2012

multiple reports to QA this morning because of one PA's absolute laziness. 

The PAs and ARNPs are the worst - Old and Tired MT

They mumble, eat while talking, talk to people in the background, ad nauseam. I wonder if they ever train these people how to dictate. The ARNPs always have to dictate a 10 minute report as well. I think they are trying to prove how "smart" they are, but the way they dictate just proves the exact opposite.

Oh, I hear you and you are not alone. - Augh!

I had a terrible time yesterday with 3 speed talkers who couldn't be bothered giving me any identifying info. Each one a seasoned physician and American and who spoke so fast they stumbled over their words, making them hard to understand. You would think that would give them the hint to slow down. Ha!

Whew, thanks. Felt good to get that out.

A new plan! - BooBoo

I completely understand.

Just finished a job that took me 15 minutes trying to unravel what was dictated. The dictator CAN speak clearly, but is too lazy to, making it impossible.

In the past QA has advised me to "sharpen my ears."

I'm offended by that - and I've decided that if this report comes back to me with critical QA comments, I'm not sharpening my ears. I'm sharpening my AX and submitting a complaint to the state board of medical licensing complete with a job number for their investigation! Poor dictation is a liability, and is an endangerment to patient safety when they are noting medications and dosages that cannot be clearly understood.

Yes, I am tired of lousy, lazy dictators being my problem. It's their problem now.

I Am So Sick Of FIESA I Could Scream. Had To Send A Report
Jun 30, 2013

with lots of blanks because of poor quality.  What happens?  I get hit with MULTIPLE invalid blanks. That is ridiculous.  Would they rather have me guess.  I don't care if everybody else in the company can hear it, if I can't then I WILL NOT guess just to keep from having to send it to QA or QC or whoever gets it.  There is nothing whatsoever constructive about FIESA.  All it does is stress people out. ...


Sick Of Dealing With ESL Dictators - Who
Mar 05, 2013

The United States should NOT be a "brain-drain" for "professional" people.  IT IS IN OUR INTEREST FOR PEOPLE WHO HAVE EDUCATION IN MEDICINE, ENGINEERING, ETC. TO GO BACK TO THEIR HOME COUNTRIES AND WORK TO IMPROVE CONDITIONS THERE, INSTEAD OF MAKING A "FORTUNE" HERE IN THE UNITED STATES. This business of "importing people we need" is EXTREMELY SHORTSIGHTED.     ...

I have been offline for a couple of days and just got done catching up here.  I wanted to respond to a post about FTR, it's further on in the thread but I am too angry to try to find it. Whoever suggested that FTR is good because it weeds out the "lazy" MTs, let me ask you this.  What about the "lazy" dictators?  HUH?  Why doesn't anyone realize that in this business TIME is MONEY?  We get paid only for the time we spend typing.  We don't get paid f ...

Lazy Doctors
Oct 05, 2013

I have a new hospital account where the doctors are supposed to dictate the addresses of recipient doctors for the letters, but most don't, so then I have to either search for the address (if they didn't garble the name too much for a search) or pend the dictation to the hospital, which takes time.  :p  Is this typical?  I haven't done letters in many years, mostly just ops and some discharges. It's very aggravating.  I don't like doing letters.   ...

Lousy Dictators - Crappy, Hard To Understand Dictators, Both ESL And English-speaking
May 17, 2014

Today I will make less than half of what I normally get because all I've gotten today are crappy, hard to understand dictators, both ESL and English-speaking.  Seems like all I get lately are the hard to understand, mush-mouth dictators.  Guess Nuance doesn't want their MTs making quota.  Sorry.  I just had to vent. ...

A new ESL dictating a DS. Can't speed him up because he's too "new" (to this country?). He is spelling every other word!!!!!! AND then spells it again - extubated, e-x-t-u-b-a-t-e-d, extubated e for elephant, x for crosses, t for tom, u for umbrella, b for .......... get the picture (sigh)? On top of that, the report is 28 minutes long!!! Should never have gotten out of bed this morning. LOL I do feel bad for him that he doesn't realize he doesn't have to spell every other ...

When To Send To QA?!

After getting mixed messages as to how many blanks in a report are needed in order to be automatically sent to QA, I finally have the final number of needing a minimum of 5 blanks.   But because I am new at this field, I find myself with reports of 1 or 2 blanks that are of something that someone with more experience would know. Operative reports have all sorts of instrumentation that I just do not know and trying to look them up from what I hear just doesn't yield any reliable resul ...

on-call back-up MTs for the Labor Day weekend? Makes me laugh. She always expects this unforeseen deluge of reports because, gosh, you just never can tell when those doctors will start dictating hundreds of reports over the holiday.  Way too inexperienced to be in her positon.  Obviously never an MT or she would not even begin to ask for extra help during a holiday. Never enough work for those that are scheduled and then also for the following week.  ...

Plus, I am back in college full-time, going for my Health Information Technician degree, hoping to open up a new career path in the medical field.

If they wouldn't do that and won't put our pay back up to at least 100% (really should be 120%), at least give us prepaid grocery cards.  They should be ashamed at the quality of their work.  It may ...
