Pea brain resident, telling me comma, space, space, - colon, space, space. period
Posted: Feb 15, 2011
Really, shouldn't he be more concerned about the content of the report rather than telling me where to put periods and commas and spaces. You know I just never would have figured that one out without him!
Residents-think they know it all and have to share it - with everyone. nm

my resident just cost me bout 75 keystrokes - cause he changed his mind
[ In Reply To ..]Now I am going to be told to decrease the number of keystrokes, thereby letting me know just how useless I am to this company. PERFECT!
Depending on what constitutes a line, that is only little more - than a line. nm

But if measured in time spent making changes, - it could be costly to MT. nm

Yes, but true of all corrections. Nature of the job. - nm

would be nature of the job - if....
[ In Reply To ..]the Q was not monitoring all of my keystrokes and then reporting back to me ways to improve the amount of keystrokes, mouse usage, or idle time!
What does monitoring have to do with the resident changing his - mind?? Lose your bittereness and SM
[ In Reply To ..]quit looking at EVERYTHING through MQ eyes. MQ is not the reason for all bad things in the world, like unorganized residents. And no I am not a suit but see no relation between a confused resident and MQ monitoring keystrokes. The resident will be confused whether or not NQ is paying attention and MQ will monitor or not, iregardless of bad dictator.
thank you for telling me what to think - what would I do without you
[ In Reply To ..]Please, thou smart one, tell me what to make for dinner and any other pertinent wisdom you care to cram down my throat!
Nowhere in post did I tell you what to think, though I will - say, seems you could use my help. nm

PAs - Kitty
[ In Reply To ..]I have a new PA that dictates...the patient was seen by myself and Dr. XXX together in conjunction at the same time together...verbatim account so I have been told to type what she says...makes me want to scream !!!!!!
She will also come on saying.... I put in wrong information in a previous job and you will need to locate that job and make corrections...LOL
my PA - is a mimic
[ In Reply To ..]he dictates just like the doc whom he assists: cadence, pitch, (bad) punctuation--the whole bit.
at least they don't have the same timbre of voice....
oh, yes: these two primo dons don't want ANYTHING changed--incorrect grammar, punctuation...anything goes.
fine. they're know-it-alls, so if they want their reports to look like they haven't grasped the basics of english, fine by me.
let's make a deal, mr. doc and mr. PA: i don't tell you how to practice medicine, and you don't tell me how to punctuate, spell and parse.
the rest of the account is verbatim, AND we are to correct for such egregious errors.
New age dictators - mt2
[ In Reply To ..]Don't forget the newest crops are technologically savvy. He's likely used to dictating to speech rec.
And actually, it used to be the dictator's responsibility for punctuation, so despite it being annoying to you, he's really doing his job correctly. (Not saying he's punctuating correctly but he's doing what he's supposed to be doing.)
also, I love the doctors who spell everything for you - but never spell it correctly - nm
