Nice comment from doctor - Happy MT Robin

Posted: May 11, 2010

Just finished a consult from one of my docs, and he's a little hoarse today, but not bad and at the end he says "and apologies to the transcription ladies. I know my voice is not necessarily the best for dictating today, and thanks for bearing with me."

It sure is nice when they acknowledge that there is actually a person on the other end who is listening to them.

I love it when they do that - me

I had one OBGYN at my last job who always said "Thank you, have a nice day, and God bless." at the end of all his dictations. He stopped doing it for a while and we thought maybe he was reprimanded for saying God bless or something, but he started back up again, so I don't know what happened with that. He was a good dictator too. I miss that guy.

I remember one like that... - CrankyOldBroadOnTheBeach

It was one of the WORST ESL dictators I had EVER transcribed... and then at the end, he said, "Thank you for your trouble to take this dictation, God bless you, please."

And I decided I liked him after all. ;)

I had one that started the day by saying "Good morning, you look lovely today!" Made me smile every morning.

I have a few - Marine Mom

I have one that says "Thanks and have a good day".

I have another one that apologizes and she has to go back up and change things and she says "sorry about getting that out of order".

Then I have one guy who cracks me up all the time. He will ask you questions about the patient....like you can actually answer him!! He's hilarious

I had a radiologist who did that - me

He would tell me the whole back story to the patient (luckly I was paid hourly). "By the way transcriptionist... it says here the reason this guy is having a right upper extremity x-ray is because he tried to jump from the roof of a house into a pool and missed... oy vey" or something along those lines. Totally cracked me up. He'd make jokes and was a total goob.

I had another radiologist on the night shift dictate each report in different accents depending on the patient's name. If it sounded Russian he'd dictate in a Russian accent, if it sounded like a souther belle name he'd dictate in a southern accent. Kept me on my toes ;-)

I love stories like these - Happy MT Robin

It's so easy to get bogged down in the negativity, so I love hearing the funny stories and good times from everyone.

Thanks for sharing!

I have one really nice dictator too - makes my day every time

First of all, he's a really good dictator. But at the end of his dictations, he never fails to say "Thank you so much for taking the time to do this dictation for me." Makes me smile every time.

Just had to share this. Had a 35 minute report on Escription. The doc was very easy to understand, but extremely thorough. After he was finished dictating, he said "I hope you and your family have a nice week. Thank you for transcribing this report. Goodbye" I actually got tears In my eyes. lol. It is not too often you feel good after a report. Just had to share. ...

checking the QA box, it does not go through QA, right? I know we are not supposed to put in disparaging remarks, but would "speak up" or "stop mumbling" be considered a disparaging remark? I am so tired of these docs who mumble and cannot be understood...how else will they know we can't hear/understand them if we can't tell them...all they see is the nice finished product not what we have to go through to get them that. ...

Okay, so in my experience in trying to be compliant on making up time and "switching" swapping time when I had a funeral to attend. No problem picking up the times, but here is what happens. When I have had NJA or something happened which required a 30 min here or there I wanted to pick up and make up the hours. Well, in theory it would seem to be good; but in reality it ADDED hours to my schedule and kept my original 24 hours per week. This "swap" ...

or am i getting the feeling that after reading some of these posts that certain ones are "targeted" to have regular audits. have you done something in the past that puts on a "special" list that you are audited on a regular basis?

I have been audited twice now in the last couple of months and have passed, but did I do something to become a "chosen one?" hhhmmmmm ...

I don't see anyone talking about the test itself or working coders or coding students bringing it up, so I will. I went to school for coding, got certified and could not find a job. That aside, the A and P portion of my schooling was extremely intense. I have been an MT for 15 years and I had no idea how lacking my knowledge of A/P really was. I figured just because I was an MT, it would be easy. Boy was I wrong. I would encourage you not to take this test lightly. BTW, I am part-tim ...

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 ...

I'm going to test this out myself the next time I use one. If this is true, sure would explain my slightly plummeting line count from usual no matter how hard I try. That would be some BS for sure. Makes you wonder why they make that "rule" that we are not allowed to make our own expanders from their standards!!!! AHA! Well, they have no way of knowing, so that is EXACTLY what I am going to do if I find out we aren't compensated for those standards. ...

Over and over on these boards I read angry and disgruntled posts from MTs about how they feel it is only due to greed on the part of their MTSO, or due to some conspiracy carefully crafted by AHDI, that requires one space after a period at the end of a sentence. One period after the end of a sentence is not strictly an MT standard. Everywhere in media, print journalism, and academia one space between sentences has become the norm. This, ...

Why do only the people who have nothing good or helpful to say the only ones who are on here posting messages. If you don't have anything relevant or nice to say, do us all a favor and keep your trap shut! There is no provocation for attacking someone just because they said that being an auditor lets them enjoy having sick days and holidays off and then questioning their ability to do their job. I was an MT for many, many years, so I was in the same boat you all are now and even wors ...

After some coworkers and I applied for positions with a different company, I was floored by how many went on and on about the recruiter being "so nice" and how that translated -- in their minds -- into a reflection of their immediate supervisor and everyone else within the company. OF COURSE the recruiter is nice! If she weren't personable and didn't have that type of personality, most likely she would not be in the position of recruiter. Only the WORST managed companies ( ...
