Posted: Jul 01, 2011

79.79 minute job by an intern who gave a day-by-day account of a 3-week hospital stay. She repeated the same things over and over and over. I HATE THOSE KINDS OF JOBS!!!!!!!!!

Just finished an 18 minute discharge summary. I got 12 lines, less than 1 minute of dictation, the other 17+ minutes silence! Why oh why can't they learn to hang up the phone!!!! We have to listen to the entire thing to be sure they didn't decide to add something. I speeded it way up, but still!!!

irritating indeed. I usually fast forward and spot check for voice - here and there. depends on dictator. NM

I thought I had it bad today with a 49 minute 8 page report by a resident who kept a day-by-day dialog, constantly correcting her words, ex: "The patient was diursed with Lasix." No, No, change that. "The patient was treated with Lasix for diuresis." I guess she figured it took more words so it was more intelligent??? Just hate days like these.

Hang in there.

Same boat! - Zville MT

The ARNP I have changes sentences like that and add in bigger words, I'm guessing to make herself sound more intellegent. My favorite example is telling a patient to get more exercise and she said, "Patient can walk the dog. No, change that to patient can ambulate the dog." Seriously? Who talks like that!!

I try to just use things like that as my good laugh for the day ;)

Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't help think that the training person on those videos is trying to sell used cars. The tone of her voice sounds so fake - and some of those incredible words she used, like "streamlining" or describing this exceptionally wonderful program (not her words, but something like it). It was my impression that she got the job to train us 3000 MTs because of her salesman-like attitude, not teaching expertise. She fumbled around, not very profes ...

I am an LPN who is currently taking classes to become an RN. I just finished my final in my MT course that I took online through US Career Institute. I stumbled upon this site when researching for an at home job for MT's. I was going to take the certificaton through AHDI thinking that would help give me a boost but I saw a post saying it was not really a big deal if you take it. I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on what is the best company to work from home for. ...

$66.03. I worked my BUTT off tonight for $8.25 an hour. Back in the day, those 1400 lines would have grossed at LEAST $116 for the day, AND, I wouldn't have worked 1/4 as hard then as I did tonight for that measly 66 bucks. Doctors and lawyers are paid for the education over and over and over again. WHY is it so different for MTs? Twenty-two years of this and I can't believe I'm reduced to this. Wow...... ...
