LOL - I applied for one of those once! They also - wanted me to be a graphic artist - sm
[ In Reply To ..]capable of producing camera-ready copy for brochures and educational material, as well as having CPA-level bookkeeping skills.
I took a pass on that......
Lol, sounds like my old job... - Depressed
[ In Reply To ..]...where I also had to do ALL the filing and copying of charts that had to be sent out, lol. After working for 2 MTSOs, though, I would gladly take that job back - it at least paid better.
Reminds me of a job I had... - JOttS
[ In Reply To ..]as MT for five docs, four audiologists, and a speech and language pathologist, not only did I have to do all their transcription with a 24-hr TAT, but the office manager also had me typing DUN letters for collections, merging letters, etc, the audiologists and docs had me creating flyers for their events, and the doctors would have their little incidental extras they'd throw in every now and then, and keeping their curriculum vitaes current. I finally had to let them know that if they wanted their transcription done in a timely manner then they needed to get me another transcriptionist... and they did. Talk about being overwhelmed with work! Geesh, they think we're miracle workers!
applied for something similar once - Ayn
[ In Reply To ..]I applied for a similar position in an eye clinic a few years ago. They needed someone to do light volume transcription and also help with front desk. I was okay with all that until they said they (office manager - never met the doc) were interested in me and could I come back for 2nd interview -- with doctor's wife who demanded to know all women he worked with and because I would be working closely with her to coordinate his personal calendar so that he didn't miss his kids' school functions and so that I would learn what dry cleaner he liked and what her preference was for gifts as I would be purchasing birthday and anniversary gifts for him to give to her. H O L Y C O W! Needless to say - I ran from that interview!!
one ad in my area - anon
[ In Reply To ..]was for a front desk position where they wanted the usual work AND someone to clean the office! For all that they are willing to pay 9 to 10 bucks an hour.

I have to say, this speech recognition is awful. I am constantly correcting, but listen to this. I just typed a report for a pt that had an allergic reaction to PEANUTS. The VR stated that, "The patient had an allergic reaction to PENIS and that the patient stated this time HE did not feel that he had cross contamination to PENIS." My goodness. ...

This doctor plain as day said "circus senilis." I could find no such thing. I know about arcus senilis, but I thought who am I to say he doesn't know what he is talking about? So I looked up the word "circus." The last meaning said "a ring or circlet", so I put what he said. Either he is right or someone will get a good laugh, and I may get a black mark. What do you think? Should I have just put arcus senilis and assume he made a mistake? It was jus ...

I do have a lot of experience in all work types, lots of ESL experience, and my QA reviews have been high, so I know I would be an asset. I also know from posts over the years that MQ has some huge issues, and I don't see that getting any better. I got an e-m ...

Well, call me an idiot. But unless they review another report for the payperiod I will be under the 99 for 2 weeks in a row. Have been hitting the required mark for weeks on end, but... I think with work low I have been rushing and did make a couple of dumb mistakes. When you do this on a 30 line report, well.... you know how it goes. Does this qualify you for action plan or anything. Or is it 3 strikes and you are out? ...
Last Laugh

Just venting a little. Had a client that was constantly (almost daily) calling or emailing me they were missing charts and saying I had lost dictation. After 2 years of this, we came to mutual termination one month ago. I have gained back an hour of time per day chasing down charts that I know don't exist or fielding calls from several of their staff looking for that 'missing' dictation. Hated to lose a client, but my days are now peaceful again. Some ...
