skipping the year 2011 - 1mt


Posted: Dec 07, 2010

Apparently this doctor thinks that the new year coming up is 2012.  He has dictated in two separate reports that these patients have procedures scheduled for January 2012 and they are in for their preoperative evaluation now.  Either that or these patients are getting their preoperative evaluation more than a year in advance.  I wish doctors/dictators could be reprimaned for their mistakes. 

LOL! He's probably a Republican. ;D - Nocturnal MT

Makes you wonder if he knows something about 2011 that we don't know! And maybe don't want to know, either. LOL

Skipping Jobs
Apr 24, 2011

For the person(s) skipping jobs today.  I am on to you and I will let my CCM know with job numbers and times dictated.  I am sick of this.  If you cannot do the work, flip burgers at Wendy's.  I have seen some of the jobs you abandon with half of it typed, wrong format, blanks that a 3-year-old could understand, words missed.  I am not perfect, but I do call myself an MT and for good reason.  If I cannot understand something I will do my best with tools I ...

Foot Pedal Dictation Has Been "skipping" And Repeating A Few Words

Hi...I am not sure if this is a foot pedal problem or a computer problem. In the last few days, the dictation has been "skipping" and repeating a few words over and over before returning to normal. I have restarted my computer, but the problem continues. Has anyone ever had this problem? Thanks! ...

It's very simple and I am very serious: 1.  If you are unhappy with how the MT career is changing, unhappy with the new pay (it won't go back up, folks, only down further), unhappy with changes in technolog, etc.:   Do something THIS YEAR to get out of MT work completely.  Don't feel you can venture too far from it?  Do something like coding/billing.  Want to stay in the medical world?  How about LPN or RN?  Dental Hygienist?  HR speci ...

They also include standards for dictators and recognize that lack of dictator compliance with these standards is a cause for blanks. Plus, IMO, ...


Would You Still Recommend At-home Medical Transcription, In 2011
Nov 05, 2011

I was trained as a Medical Transcriptionist at a two-year college from 1990 to 1992.  I worked at a hospital for a couple of years doing radiology, non-invasive cardiology, and neurology transcription, then I got married and moved.  Soon thereafter, I started work at a mental health clinic as a Medical Transcriptionist with 12 other transcriptionists.  This was in late 1993 and I am still there as of right now.  The 12 transcriptionists have either left or been laid off over ...

Besides issues with a company that seems to have workflow problems and therefore tells the independent contractors to not work on their scheduled days because the work is low or on another day is sending e-mails that there is extra work and everyone needs to hustle , there is now a notice that there will be an adjustment in line rates.  Of note, this company does not pay the highest line rates to start with. They want a schedule and we're expected to be available AND must produce a min ...
