Anyone feel like they are being held hostage by this job?

I am not sure if I am hearing "has had" conservative treatment, she opted for surgical intervention....I am not sure if I am hearing "has held"...any help would be greatly appreciated. ...

stringent TAT when doctors are allowed to wait weeks and/or months to dictate very old reports? I have listened to basically one physician for the last 3 hours or so dictating old reports that should have been done in a timely manner. Oh well, just venting here. ...

It happened to tech company LinkedIn, (who should know better!) "LinkedIn agreed to pay nearly $6 million is back overtime wages and damages to employees after a U.S. Department of Labor investigation found the company violated federal labor laws." ...

I just had to stop and vent. I am appalled at the quality of dictation these days. The sentence structure, lack of consistency, outright errors and not paying attention to what they are saying. That goes for the stutterers, the repeaters, the ones who start a sentence and then just die off. If you cannot speak clearly and enunciate then you need to HIRE SOMEONE TO DICTATE FOR YOU. Have some respect for the people who have to try and interpret your garbage or GET OFF THE SYSTEM. We cannot i ...

I have been here with MQ 4ever it seems. Today, I just need to rant. It seems that for the last week or so ASR has gotten WORSE, leaving out words and still not changing terms which have been repeatedly "corrected" by me. It is not "learning". Of course, I guess this means job security. But, the next rant I have is how many ways can someone enter a docs credentials and initials in? Constantly leaving out the periods after the middle initials ...

I would appreciate hearing from anyone (e-mail me if you wish) if you have suddenly got NJA all day today with regard to a bunch of southern Florida accounts (cannot mention which hospital of course, but if you are an MT for them you will know which ones). I e-mailed the person in charge of workload and the explanation was that "difficult dictators" are only being given to those who can do them. I am a tier 3, 7 yrs with MQ and 30 as an MT (so pretty much experienced and been there d ...

sounds like: "hand saids were held" since the patient had a history of hematemesis ...

I was just looking at the Word Help board - I can't imagine working at home by myself, having no one to ask for help. When I first started, you could turn to the person next to you and get some help. They've really been thrown to the wolves. Good luck, all!! ...

as the poster below. I think the lag in our computers now with the 6.1 is either because the ILPs are "observing" while we are typing or there is a spyware included to watch our keystrokes and screens. Getting paranoid. ...

Today is payday. Never knowing what it will be until I check my bank account, I get this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach while logging on to my bank's website. It's sort of like butterflies, but not as pleasant a feeling! This morning, I took a look at the last five deposits. Most are within 20 or 30 dollars, but they all are getting progressively smaller, smaller, smaller. Compared to two years ago, it's literally half of what I was making. Egads! Soon I will be p ...

I know a lot of you work for companies right now that do not have enough work and I can truly empathize with you, have been in that boat as well. But the company I work for begs us to do overtime every single solitary weekend, aka Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have been in this field for almost 30 years and quite honestly I am burnt out. I put in my 40 hours a week and feel the rest of my life is my time. I have neck problems and back problems as well, but still manage to do my best and am also ...

Who are actually listening and believing this BS that WMJ is spewing out. She or he does NOT have your best interest at heart. If you choose to do the sick out I can guarantee that you will not have a job when you try to log back in on the 2nd. We work in an at will employment job. They can lock you out and not even give you a reason for letting you go. We do not have a union which would protect you in a strike situation though I for one still would not want to be in a union because they ar ...

The so called random dictation is designed to slow you down, makes me mad when I just want to get the work done without constanting stopping and starting, rearranging the formats, etc. ...

a note and say, "Hey, the reason you have having to s-p-e-l-l these simple words now is because your chart notes are being done in India." All part of the plot to push for off-shoring the work because there are "so few qualified US MTs." ...

they'd be too old to start at the bottom and no one will hire them, consider getting your real estate license. It only takes 2 months, and this happens to be an industry where it seems age actually is of benefit! Trust me, I've done it and now an apartment manager in a small complex where I pay no rent and no utilities. Try it if interested, you might like it :) ...

I made 99.125 on my audit this month. Why do i feel this company still considers this failing. One thing is for sure, I cannolt wait until I get another job. ...

I am so sick and tired of this work, this company, and really hate sitting down here every day for the past 20 years. It gets harder each day with every new rule, policy or threat we receive. Whether there is work or not, I feel the same way - I am so burned out on this garbage. I am still far from retirement and really trying to find a way to refocus myself to concentrate on this mind-numbing drivel that ASR puts out. I am so sick and tired of putting in commas, taking o ...

Today I could so easily throw my computer and reference books in a pile in the middle of my office, light a match, and walk away. ...

I started my job at the high school cafeteria and believe it or not, love it. Min wage never felt so good. I'm still doing MT at night, but have been having a *forget this* attitude. Plus, with the work load at my MTSO being so friggin' slow, it just depletes my motivation. If we really didn't need the money, I would up and quit. {{sigh}} ...

I'm going to preface this by asking that there be NO judgment ... no snarky "get out of the field then" or "don't let the door hitcha in the arse" comments. I'm just having one of "those" days where I feel absolutely horrible about the work that I do. Tomorrow, I will be fine again and we all have these days from time to time. I'm getting ALL crappy reports today. I can't seem to understand ANY of the dictation I've gotten, I've barely ...

The old bait and switch . Ask you to work OT and then give you the worst of the worst. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I sure could use the extra money but don't want to go through the "crap" to earn it. ...

I have a doc describing a cough and I can not come up with the correct spelling on the end of the word. It is a rattley cough, as in rattle-like sounding cough. It is not rattling, but rattle-e. Some days, the brain is just not functioning. Duh! Sorry. ...

I have 20+ years' experience as an MT, 8 more years as a nurse before that, consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, yet I feel like I'm struggling more and more just to do this job. I had the most horrific dictators today with the worst ASR, one after the other. It felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders as I slumped in my chair trying to get the jobs done. I just could not understand those Indian doctors. Stutterers. Clanging backgr ...

before I went into my PCP's office today. The NP who saw me walked in with her laptop and proceeded to enter everything in using drop-down menus and shortcut phrases, saying how GREAT it is to not have to dictate any more. She said the program wasn't perfect and didn't have every drop down thing she needed, but she could type in phrases herself whenever needed. Said the docs are all on board and loving it:(:(:( I guess this is what' ...

After 25 years all the sudden I feel like I cannot do anything right. MQ must be trying to get rid of experienced MTs. ...

Had an appt with my doctor; she was slowly typing as we talked. I asked her how she liked typing her own records. She said she hates it but has no choice as it is required now. Apparently some companies are telling the hospitals that EMR is required by law. That isn't exactly true, and the companies (such as MQ) do a lot of fibbing and twisting of the truth. While it will be required that medical records be electronic....HOW they get there is where they are fib ...

Anyone new to MQ that feels like they were just thrown out and then forgotten? I just started last week and other than the SR and docqscribe training they really don't tell much. I was never even told how to clock in and out until a week into working and that was because I asked. I am here because my old job, which I loved, was outsourced to MQ. I did clinic notes for so long for the same doctor that I feel like I am just starting out and it is scary. Any ...
