I don't want to listen anymore - 1mt


Posted: Nov 19, 2010

This doctor is absolutely disgusting.  I have umpteen jobs for him and he is constantly coughing and snorting up his snot.  I can't take it any more.  It is so gross.  He sounds like a snorting PIG.  On top of that, he's constantly forcefully flipping through the pages of the chart and it must be right near the microphone because it feels like it's going to break my eardrums.  All I can do is keep calling him nasty names...he's such an idiot, jerk, etc., etc., etc.!!!!!! 

Sounds like my doctor - LinK

I have someone exactly like that. I'm transcribing a lot of his notes today. He has been burping in my ear as well as coughing and sneezing. Not one excuse me, just snort it up and keep on dictating. Disgusting!

And these are supposed to be professional - 1mt

Are the ones who use the restroom with their hand-held recorders running and I can hear EVERYTHING going on in there, including the fact that they DON'T WASH THEIR HANDS when finished!
Hmm, maybe you should report them to Infection Control? - sm

I've done something similar with marvelous results. In my case, it was a nonphysician provider who was taking records out of the facility. We knew she was doing it, but couldn't prove it.

She dictated in front of the TV. During the commercials. The recordings ran on the entire time, picking up the TV. She dictated in a horrible nasal voice and was, on top of everything else, unbelievably rude and insulting to us.

One night as she was flipping through pages, the family rabbit bit her on the rear. She screamed this fact in more graphic terms, accompanied by quite remarkable cursing and a demand that her kids remove the creature from the room.

That gave us what we needed to prove she was taking records home. The foul language was iceing on the cake. The recording was played for her supervisors and we never heard from her again. Never saw her again, either.

Justice is served on occasion.

I don't want to listen anymore - Just me

I have one who is constantly chewing and smacking. He's been talked to I don't know how many times and he still does it. I think they should be made to listen to their own dictation.

they will change when made to listen to themselves - cll

For a while I had worked as the director of medical documentation for a practice and I had told the doctors at one meeting their strengths and weakness and they really appreciated the feedback. The ones that did not work on improving their weaknesses, I would play them a portion of their tapes for them to listen to and they would then improve greatly after that, realizing that they sounded like an idiot sometimes. I was not scared to talk to the doctors like they were regular people. Some people will not say anything to them because they think they are gods but at the end of the day, they too put their pants on one leg at a time and as long as you are respectful, most appreciate honest feedback.

We no longer care anymore. You keep beating us down with your nitpicking on our reports. The ultimate disgrace to our profession is marking us off for leaving a blank and QA filling it in. WE NO LONGER CARE. Your company has ruined this profession. I hope that everyone knows what kind of creeps you really are. ...

I bet I'm not alone. Your new pay plan is cruel. I would rather miss out on having a quarterly bonus and getting emotionally destroyed once in a quarter rather than every single day. PLEASE RETHINK THIS PAY PLAN IMMEDIATELY BEFORE MORE GOOD MTs LEAVE. Believe me, we really don't want to leave, but who on God's green earth would want to be emotionally abused on a daily basis? Ask yourself this. Would I want my son, daughter, brother, sister, father or mother being treated this ...


How Do You Get Management To Listen.
May 30, 2012

The MTs on my account have constantly complained about 1 doctor on VR who does not belong there!!  We are simply typing his reports for the lesser pay.  We have complained directly to our supervisor about it and nothing has been done because we do not send the reports to QA.  Certainly, you can understand what he is saying, that is not the problem.  The problem is he will not speak in complete sentences, and spells everything, so how can you send this to QA?  It signific ...

Audit. Where Do I Go The Listen?
Feb 04, 2015

The site I used to go to does not exist, and the DocQManage site only has statistics, QA submitted reports and client profile look up. There are several disagreements I have with what I was marked off for. It is so aggravating. I should have added a word (which has no effect on the meaning of the sentence. I should not have included a word (which, again, has no effect on the meaning and was dictated. Then, there is the is that "should have been changed" to are which does change the me ...

Really?! Do You HAVE To Listen To The Radio While Dictating?
Nov 11, 2010

Honestly, this Dr. is always listening to the radio when he is doing his reports and it is up LOUD. So of course, since I do VRE, I have to delete TONS of song lyrics from every report he does. Can he seriously not live without his terrible 80's soft rock for 10 minutes?!   ...

I don't see a way to do it in Fiesa like my TSM said, unless I'm missing something.  That would sure stink if this weren't possible.  For example, if you think you need a reversal on something--it would help to be able to relisten to see if you really made that mistake.  ??? ...

Wmx/nuance Paycut Meeting,listen To Tape Shut Up Or QUIT, Nuance Attitude?
Dec 12, 2011

According to a poster below which has apparently already attended one of the payroll meetings (as the poster posted) for nuance they have decided to keep the incentive part of all of our pay going with an exception that now you have to have over the industry standard of 98% to get a production based incentive. In addition (if this poster is accurate) they have again cut the overall pay from 8 and 4 to 3 3/4 AND 7 1/2. This is nothing but a bunch of crapploa...an MT who is now getting ...

I swear, he is so bad that I can't even understand the patient's name!!!! I am going to pull my hair out.  Yep, I feel it coming.  It takes me forever just to get through ONE of his reports.  He gets so many blanks that I honestly feel sorry for the QA person that end ...


Not An MT Anymore!!
Apr 25, 2011

Working at .075 cpl for ScribeRight I made a whopping 12K in 2009. Wow - let's all run out and take MT classes to jump on that bandwagon.  Anyway, I quit my MTSO pimp and went to work for a well-known Italian restaurant chain in 2010. I work in the kitchen 6 hours a day for 5 days a week (Mon-Fri lunch shift with no nighttime or weekend shifts) and make about 15% more than I did as an MT. I am not an IC anymore but rather an employee, so I saved a bunch on my social ...


I Just Don't Know Anymore
Feb 27, 2012

My bubble has been burst.  I was with eTransPlus when the Q swallowed them up and then I left.  Now, I'm with another MTSO and it's awful.  I've only been MTing for 5 years.  I was an office nurse (LPN) for 13 years before that and I wanted a change.  My first job was with a great company and then the huge acct I was on was bought out by an MTSO, so I had the choice of being laid off or going to IC status.  I chose to be laid off thinking I could draw ...

Reading these posts, watching women post about how to work the system to keep their piddly minimum wage/unemployment coming in while MM finds yet another way to screw us over.  It makes me sick to think of what we have become.  The experience we have, the expertise we are still expected to have, and yet we sit here discussing how to keep getting our minimum freakin wage. Do you not all see how WRONG THIS IS?  All we do is complain, or let them beat us down until we quit. How is i ...
