Motivation/burn out!

If you are a part time MT, what would motivate you to go to full-time. Also, what do you think would motivate a low-producing MT to increase production? ...

eee gads, every have one of those nights, or one of those weeks? what do you do when you just can't seem to get in the groove? maybe its the mt week contests and knowing I will never win anything (even though I meet all the production requirements) plus just plain wore out from trying to move for the past week or so. tried to get some PTO, but never get approved. and then add to it the 3rd shift blues. no matter what, just can't keep my eyes open! ...

So it's Monday morning and I have very little to no motivation to crank out reports. This is getting to be a real problem. My line count is dwindling because of my lack of motivation. I've been doing this job for decades. Where do you find motivation? Any tips or tricks you care to share? The weeks get longer all the time and while I like my job I certainly do not love it any more. Help! Thanks. ...

Dictating with your kid crying right behind you?? Really?? Started the shift off getting an account out of my usual BOB, and the HPI for every single one had to be totally retyped. I don't have any more patience for the doctors who sit their breathing or thumbing through the chart or searching the electronic record without putting the dictation on hold. I find moving the audio to a place where there is dictation really helps my lph. Only "advantage" of ASR. Of course, I only go as far ...

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with/power through horrendous audio quality reports? We have had these reports on my primary account for 2 months now and my company refuses to do anything about them. I turn the volume all the way up and still can barely hear the dictator over all the static. I struggle to figure out what they are saying, but I find myself "checking out" and losing focus and motivation to get through these reports after a while. How does everyone else do it? ...

Anyone else have these issues? I find that after doing report after report of doctors with different accents (Indian obviously, Asian, Spanish, British), it just gets more difficult to wrap my head around what is being said. I can't find that sweet spot where I can understand what is being said, and it is so frustrating! Also, motivation. I start my shift, am on a good roll, then NJA. After doing a few jobs that trickle in, clock in and clock out, try to remember the ent ...

After 21 years of doing transcription, yes starting with a typewriter, I have no will left to do this job. After searching other companies, it seems the industry is in the toilet. We are at the mercy of companies like Nuance because in-house transcription is a thing of the past. I woke up this morning and realized in the last 16 years I have come full circle, 7 cpl when starting at home, and now most likely back to 7 cpl with this new grid. I don't even see the point in arguing over the QC% ...

I feel like quitting! ...

I'm not sure if I'm burned out on MT as a whole (I don't think I am), just my current MTSO, or if I've got some component of ADD. Whatever it is, I need to get out of this slump. Increasing production just because I need the money doesn't seem to be a motivator. I've been doing this for 21 years now. I've always been a little distractible, but it seems to be getting worse. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for improving their p ...

Anyone got any tips on how to avoid burn out? I am fairly new to MT and am getting burned out. Not good, I know since this is what I truely want to do. I work 7 days a week and maybe that is part of it. Sitting down at my desk to work is becoming harder as I hate to walk in the room. I love what I do and love being home, but sometimes feel like I live in seclusion as I work all the time. Planning weekends has gone out the window. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me? Any helpful ...

Hi... Can't "hear" this at all, even though this question has been posted on here, not sure which form to use. "Prior to the dressing, the arm was irrigated with s/l pulsatile/pulsar/pulsed lavage with s/l assistance/system/solution of 3 L of lactated Ringers. thanks! Barb ...

Is there such a thing as trolley room? "The patient was seen in the trolley room." Can't find a reference. ...

not really feasible to look for another job outside home. I live in a very small town and care for my aging mother who is not in the best of health. Right now I'm really feeling a major period of burn-out with transcription. Most days, I'm ready to throw my hands up and quit, just walk away from it, but then I see my checkbook laying on my desk as a reminder that I can't do that. I'm tired of trying to understand mushmouth practitioners, those who talk at the speed of light, ...

OP report - repair of left internal iliac artery aneurysm "We then advanced a 0.035 Glidewire back through this sheath. Then with a (sounds like Burn) catheter, we selected for the left internal iliac artery and advanced the (Burn?) catheter into the aneurysm and into a large inferior branch, which was feeding the aneurysm distally." I cannot document this anywhere. I found Burhenne steerable catheter, but I don't believe they are used in endovascular repairs. Thanks in advan ...
