A much needed ASR laugh - old and burned out

"Discharge diagnoses: 1. I have no freaking idea what she has. " Guess it's a good thing this is not a truly verbatim account.............. ...

Transcribing a note by a tiny, meek-looking (per hospital website) ESL doctor today when his cell phone went off & his ringtone was "Bad to the Bone" ...

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? ...

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 ...

I just saw on here regarding transcription education. They had it spelled as get educatated! haha ...

Dictator dictated flunisolide, ASR translated as penis alive ...

As I was doing the "webinar" today on time clock procedures for the company that has bought the company that I have worked for for almost 10 years, I was cleaning out some paperwork. I found my original contract, level 5 transcription . . . 9-1/2 cents per line (plus shift differential) almost 10 years ago Plus I think I got an additional bonus or something for being a CMT. Off to cry in my coffee. Oh what the heck, might as well laugh!! ...

On the HuffPo front page, there is an article that reads "Dictator Convicted for Secret Hospital Torture Center." Oh good grief--that's just the Transcription Department! ;-) ...

Here's something really funny! I'm looking for a job in my area and the place where I signed up for called me. I explained my situation to them. Then I said if they were from Nuance,I wouldn not work for them,either as one is just about the same as the other. Guess what? they hung up on me! Hilarious. ...

ALLERGIES: Mother. ...

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. ...

Are they kidding? How stupid is this proposed Essay contest? We are asked to enter a contest and tell why FTR is a good thing and a move forward and will have a positive impact on patient care? Are they nuts? This is beyond stupid! How about asking for an essay on punishing MTs for asking for a second opinion, wanting another trained ear to listen so that patients are not given the incorrect medication or an incorrect diagnosis? How about an es ...

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 ...

P.A. just dictated sclerae non-eccentric. lol ...

Has anybody asked their company for a raise within the last year and gotten one ? Just curious. ...

ESL doctor: "The patient lives on farm. He milks the cows, horses, mules and chickens." Chickens are mammals? All this time those wings and feathers had me fooled, but then again, they never could fly to prove it... This is the same guy who once said a patient worked driving a "lift-fork" and another one of his patients was "stung by a black widow recluse spider." And to think, this man makes 5-10 times what I do... ouch... if only someone had told me as a teena ...

when the doc says something like "he was assaulted by two gentlemen." Well, at least they were polite about it right? ...

ad over in the left-hand margin for "Feed The Pig".org .... with a picture of a big, pink pig in a suit, and a hand dropping money into its head. Pretty appropriate, don't you think? When we work for these MTSO's for peanut-pay and little or no benefits, that's what we're doing: FEEDING THE PIG. ...

I got an e-mail encouraging me to test on-line for MQ and submit my resume and they would be anxiously awaiting it and monitoring their system for it to come through so that they could promptly contact me about a position. 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 ...

This Shaw guy is pretty funny, telling all of DSG how great his company is going to be to work for! As if none of us read this forum and know the truth. I'm really starting to hope this 2012 end of the world stuff actually happens! ...

OOOHH. Big announcement today, join us. For what? DocQscribe just renamed? Forgive me if I am not excited, sounds like a disappointing regift to me. In fact, it is probably better they change it to Fluency or whatever because on my new MM computer sent for the upgrade to DocQscribe 7 they spelled the program as DoQscribe. No kidding. Be on the watch out for more pictures of corporate parties I am sure because to some people this is a big deal. ...

I had the nerve to complain about the work load I was getting and how could I keep up production rates and when I questioned it suddenly I am being audited. I let them know I thought it was interesting the timing of this since I had asked so many questions in the last couple of weeks regarding production. ...

I couldn't help but burst out laughing at this one. Overnight I got an "critical error alert" from Fiesa and those idiots in India not only "critical alerted" me for the report I sent to QA for assistance for the item I sent it to them for but then I swear typed the words in the comment section "good job." I needed a laugh to start the day because I can't hit India from here with darts from my dartboard. ...

How lovely of them to send us an e-mail today boasting about the new Enrich program...until you get to the part that it's voluntary which means you won't get paid to visit that site? How many of you laughed and hit the "delete" button on the e-mail? If they were serious about us all learning more stuff they'd pay us to go to training. They must've figured we all needed a laugh with it being tax day. ...
