I hope the doctor just didn't dictate about an investigation - sm


Posted: Nov 19, 2010

but I just did a report on a 10 month old that fell from the sofa to the carpeted floor and supposedly got a skull fracture.  Not one word was said about an investigation of child abuse, but I find this sort of thing worrisome.  I sure hope SOMEONE will look into any case like this, whether it is dictated or not.

Most of these kinds of things are investigated - sm

and the majority of them are dismissed as what they are--accidents. I can tell you from the experience of my sister. They were investigated because they took my nephew to the ER because he had fallen and hurt his arm. He was about 2 or 3 at the time. When they did the x-rays they saw his clavicle had been previously fractured and CPS was called in. His clavicle was broken during birth -- he weighed 10+ lb when he was born and was born vaginally with nurses literally pushing on my sister to get him out. They had to get all the documentation from his birth records and the case was closed, but health professionals tend to err on the side of caution in these types of cases with kids.

My DIL also had a problem with CPS - Backwards Typist

2-yo messing around had boxes fall on him and broke his femur. First accident where he had to go to the hospital and she went through he-- with the social workers.

I know they are just looking out for the welfare of children, but sometimes they just go off the deep end. If I had to go through some of the stuff nowadays, I'd probably wind up in jail for assault. LOL

Case was closed but not before they searched the whole house, questioned her employer and friends, which I think was ridiculous. Where's the rights of parents nowadays? Sometimes the rules go from one extreme to the other.

Transcription Software So That Doctor Can Dictate Into A Digital Recorder From His Office

Does anybody know of a good software program or system where the doctor can dictate into a digital recorder from his office, upload it to my computer and that I could transcribe using a footpedal (that I already have) and then upload it and send it back to the doctor?  The doctor would like to start using a digital system ASAP, so any information would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you! ...


Used To Hope For Lots Of Work, Now I Hope For NJA Or To Be FIRED
Oct 09, 2013

This job is not worth the trouble.  It certainly does nothing for me when I open the "paycheck" every 2 weeks and see that despite my 40 "power hours" every week, I made less than last time.  No matter what, I cannot manage to make a decent living here any more.  I am over it.  Sad to admit, and yes, the shame is on me, but I do wish for NJA or even better, to be FIRED from this place.  Just had to get this off my chest before I burst into flames of fury at the horrid qu ...

A Little Holiday Message Of Hope (I Hope!)
Dec 10, 2013

Hi, everyone. A year or so ago, I read a message by a former transcriptionist who had gotten into medical school and was at last working as a physician. I'm sure it's still here in the archives somewhere; please forgive me for not digging it up. I remain grateful to that poster to this day. Yes, even if she was making it all up! It still inspired me so much. Last month I began work at only the second job I have ever held outside the MT field. It took me seemingly forever to find it, a ...

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 ...

Why Didn't I Get Hired?

I have been a MT for 30 yrs. I had to stop working 4 yrs ago due to health issues, then finally had 2 surgeries which pretty much took care of the problem. While I was out on disability I got a grant, went back to an AHDI approved University and took refresher courses in MT fulltime for a year. Now, I'm ready to get back to work. I submitted a resume to M-Modal last week and just read they are not considering me. Is there a way to find out why? I'm a good transcriptionist and I want to ...

I feel this is a huge violation of my privacy.  I didn't want this stupid membership in the first place, and for MQ to give out my information like that just doesn't seem right at all!   Peed off. ...

LANDESK Didn't Install It
