drives me nuts - Gaby

I have this one doctor that I get all the time who will say -

The patient uh you know uh has you know..

Really? No, I don't know what the patient has. I'm not the doctor seeing him.

I'm guessing that your dictator is young. All of those meaningless utterances drive me crazy because they're timewasters.

One of mine has ghetto rap blaring in the background. UGH!! I can handle most genres of music but not that garbage.

We have a doctor from Brazil. When he first got here, he listed to opera, all the time, in the background. We nasty Americans have corrupted him...now it's heavy metal and hard rock all the time in the background. I never thought I'd say this but I really miss that opera!

rather have the rap - than the

He's a gastro doc who always repeats the same sentence over and over again and each time he repeats it, he changes his mind, or he keeps the microphone on while he's thinking and I wind up with listening to nothing. There are so many times when his cell phone rings while he's dictating and I hear all sorts of conversations in the background. By the time I'm done with his reports, my brain feels like a bowl of oatmeal.

Every other word is um, ahhh. Then it's next paragraph, next paragrah, next paragraph. Then it's period, uh period, uh period. Then he repeats next paragraph and period several more times. Between and his other yucky habits, I really wish they would ban him from dictating. ...

It's just not fair that a couple of people get almost 100% of OP notes throughout the day and I get 2 or 3 total, and those are only because they are miscoded as discharge summaries! What do I have to do to become a "favorite?" Gee, why can't I be loved by my MTSO like that? ...

It just drives me nuts when a doctor says "Patient has a history of whatever in the past." Duh, isn't that kind of redundant? History is always in the past. That's why it's history! ...

begins and then those pile on with pleas for a job. Below Frustrated was discussing whether there were any good workers around any more and whoop de doo mad rush of "I e-mailed you about working for you" Can we just DISCUSS subjects and businesses without people chiming in with the give-me give-mes? Every comment about a company is followed by pleas for ways to get into these companies. Due diligence - apply, fill out application, take test, quit trying to weasel in on a ...

Can you install a program such as a photo shop or print shop to an external hard drive and use it that way? My computer is a little too full to install another big program on it. Is there any special technique to do this? Thanks ...

This patient is from Spain here in the US for vacation. The doctor is stating all these medications the patient is on in Spain, which I cannot verify anywhere. I have googled etc. Any ideas of a website that lists medications in Spain before I totally pull my hair out? TIA. ...

This is the actual sentence the doc dictated. I listened to it 3 times. "There was initially significant tachycardia where her beta blocker was resumed, although this had given her bradyarrhythmias and sinus block in the past, but ultimately, with regulization, her potassium and magnesium levels, and because of recurrent hypotension her beta blockers were discontinued and her rhythm remained stable." HUH??????? ...

When I am transcribing, I am hitting some key combination that is turning my type to all caps. It's not the caps lock or it would show it was on. Transcribing as fast as all of us do it is impossible to figure out what I am hitting to make this happen. Does anyone have any ideas??? So appreciative!!! :) ...

She says things like "He currently has a G-tube of which medications will be administered." Or "...secondary to UTI, Foley catheter associated, of which this has now been removed. " Or "this is a chronic problem of which he had a G-tube inserted in October" She's making me nuts tonight. These examples are all from one report, too. I guess if that's the worst thing I have to deal with tonight, tonight is still pretty good, but I just wan ...

The comments seem extremely picky to me and almost harrassing. It seems I cannot do anything right. Really tired today and it's been a bad day overall and now this. just needed to vent. I have a feeling I have not heard the last from the QA lady that hovers over me all day. Thanks for listening. ...

ESL, after saying the headings, repeats them along with adding a few more words, but it still means the same damn thing, says "umm you know" after almost every other word, keeps saying "feeded" instead of fed. VR has not learned him at all, so I'm having to delete every other word and all the "umm you knows". 13 minutes worth of this crap. And 20 minutes later I'm not even done with it yet. This is going to be a very long day......... Can't forget about getting paid h ...

Where did they get her? She has NEVER gotten an entry right on my time card! Every time we have had technical downtime, she has screwed it up; adding the wrong times, deleting my punches, and replacing them with something she apparently made up. I have e-mailed her specific times I worked, in a list format. All she had to do was make sure it matched. She can't even do that right! We went back and forth in e-mail 4 times, before I finally gave up and made ...

Seriously how do you mark me for not putting a comma in when I have a QA marker preceeding it..Obviously I missed a word, the dictator rots, sorry..So instead of adding all that extra crap in..If you had just stuck to what I put, I may have learned something..Instead, my mind is going in 90 directions and I marked it as read and moved on..Waste of my time. And when I put one through QA for a repeat word I feel I should know and just have never heard it or cant document it, then I NEVER see ...
