Anyone relate to TSMs who can't use proper grammar and punctuation?

She saw Dr. ___, who she tells me is at the UCLA Medical Center, who told her that she had a "borderline blood test on her nerves," and that she should see a neurologist. that is typed as the dr. says.. but i feel like I should break it up somehow, or that he has almost two quotations, but only does one? tia :) ...

Hello, I am having a bit of a hard time knowing which to use when using then and than. Also, how to punctuate months time or month's time? Do you always use an apostrophe even when it's one month's time? DDoes anyone know any good resource sites that would be helpful? Thanks in advanced! ...

Is there a site or forum somewhere that updates on new grammar and punctuation rules since they change from time to time? ...

Several years ago, Book of Style made the recommendation to drop the possessive form for names of tests, diseases, etc. - i.e., Alzheimer's disease is now Alzheimer disease BUT is Alzheimer's when standing alone, i.e., I have Alzheimer's (disease implied but not written) and most facilities have since adopted this practice. That said, if a doctor refers to an instrument such as Metzenbaum scissors, there is no possessive used....but if doctor says "I used the Metzenbaum's ...

Well, I found out today that some former TSMs were let go. I thought I'd feel better about one. I thought I'd giggle and be happy someone stuck it to her for once. But then I thought...huh, I don't. I really don't. Because regardless of how I personally felt about her, she got the job done, and without so much as a blink, she is without insurance or income. The other? She was a gem. She was knowledgeable and hard working, and sh ...

Started out the day with an awesome first hour. LPH was in the mid 300's which is very good for me. I normally am around 250. Then the second hour started and for the next couple of hours, I got the same dictator over and over, each one was very long, VR and completely wrong. Had to literally retype them and leave multiple (and I do mean multiple) blanks. I could not understand this dictator which obviously VR could not either. I had to pend every single ...

I've been an MT for 12 years. I started out with MedQuist as a subcontractor. Life was great! Then came employee status and being performance managed, VS, crappy software, overworked supervisors and nit picking about being literally 10 minutes late for work or getting heavy points taken off my quality score for typing "were" instead of "was." I went to Focus, which was then taken over by Nuance, and the same experience as above started happening. So I went ...

Anyone know what they do while the MLSs are pounding away on our keyboards day in and day out, besides send out ridiculous emails all the time? ...

I've "worked" just about every holiday, and every time I'm told I have to keep checking back, keep checking back, keep checking back when we've run out of work (even though our new policy says otherwise). But where is my TSM? I've gone through a couple of those, too, but each time they are no where to be found on a holiday! Must be nice! I am so tired of this crap. ...

Sorry for anyone losing their job, but fair is fair. They have taken from the MTs until we are scraping the scum off the bottom of the barrell. If this company so badly needs to shave costs, let them do so at the expense of other job categories rather than all MTs. Most companies tend to be management heavy and reductions on that level, whether it be jobs or cutting benefits, reductions in wages, etc. let it happen. They can't take any more from us. We all wor ...

If I were an East TSM, I'd have my resume ready. ...

The la-dee-dah attitude of the e-mail updates makes me cringe! "Keep smiling!" "Let’s do our best to help keep things humming along!" Know this: Us MTs are NOT "smiling" and things AREN'T been "humming along." Maybe if our concerns were addressed instead of being swept under the rug in the hopes that ignoring them will make them disappear, we wouldn't all be so PISSED today. Get a clue. JEEZ. &n ...

Good luck. This was the kick in the pants I needed. I'm outa here. Good luck to the rest of you. 2 weeks notice? HA I think not. ...

...they probably realize that it's completely anonymous. So watching us all agonize over the current situation when just ONE of them could easily come on using a pseudonym and give us some idea about what is going on or give some insight as to how the decisions are being made ... if there is something we can do at this point to help us get on firm ground (or, have the decisions already been made?) would help some of us sleep at night. IMO, just sitting back and watching us stru ...

It seems that my TSM gets nastier and meaner every week! Maybe they offered her a new bonus plan? ...

As more and more MTs lose their jobs to offshoring, I don't think the TSMs are realizing that they are becoming expendable quickly too - No US MTs mean no US supervisors. The hospitals and clinics will have to talk to India to complain about their reports, dial 1 for English (sort of) and then hold for the next available representative for the next 20 minutes. I hope I get to see the day when MModal stock crashes. ...

My TSM is still here as of late this afternoon anyway. Have not seen or heard anything from the company. Are the one/ones that were let go on the ambulatory side or one of the newer Nuance acquisitions? ...

Seems like when we have gotten out of TAT they authorize OT like crazy. Or do we have penalties to customers for out of TAT work? ...

told to clock in at beginning when scheduled. If no work, clock out. Then it states to check back EVERY 30 minutes. If there is work clock in and begin working. When there are no more jobs clock out. Keep doing this until end of shift. Isn't this requiring us to be available for 8 hours but unpaid (most likely)? Doesn't this even go against MModal's current policy on no work available? ...

to realize that they are being totally played by Nuance and will be next in line to be driven away and finally quit or fired because of lack of work. Oh how I hope to witness that day when these weasely wannabe corporate ladder climbers get their just reward. ...

we're told internet outage is not acceptable reason not to work and to find alternative such as WiFi, etc. in a not so nice tone. Now we're told this is NOT acceptable (use of WiFi) as according to company policy. Make up your mind will ya? This TSM deserves a critical error deduction for misinformation (and the attitude). Shouldn't they be required to know company policy before taking on their position? ...

How would this be punctuated? Her knee is stable to varus valgus anterior posterior stresses. ...

I am transcribing a H & P - under review of systems I have: She has had some headaches, as above. Question: Is there suppose to be a comma after headaches to separate as above as it is not necessary to the sentence? BOS does not give a speciific answer for this. ...

Can anyone help me with the punctuation in this sentence? I've added 2 commas but I don't think they are correct.... I'm thinking a semicolon or colon somewhere? CT scan of the head was negative, of the chest, the findings included mediastinal hematoma with displacement of the esophagus and stomach. Thanks in advance!!! ...

How to punctuate this? Would you use a semicolon after hypertension? History of hypertension, on treatment with Dyazide daily, repeated bladder infections, appendectomy, 3 D&Cs, tonsillectomy, history of yellow jaundice as a child. ...

Is this right? She also had somatosensory evoked potential, which showed abnormal bilateral tibials. Somatosensory evoked potentials in both the normal position and "budda position". Slowing of the central conduction is worse in the left than the right. ...

Is the punctuation in this paragraph correct? I am mainly concerned with the sentence concerning the spine. Thanks! Slowing of the central conduction is worse in the left than the right, but abnormalities are bilateral. She had an MRI of her spine; C-spine;T-spine; and L-spine. All of which showed no problems after her surgery except for post operative changes. ...

She denies partner change, although, when queried further she states that since her STD check, which was done in August, she actually has had one partner with use of a condom. I also thought of putting a semicolon before although...? I am really stuck on this...and I want to put a comma after further because I feel it is more introductory, but QA does not like commas. Does that look right? I swear, with the way QA is at my company, I feel like I don't even know how to wr ...

How would you punctuate this? I do think that the combination of discontinuation of splinting and initiating some therapy, in particular, home therapy, will help substantially with this stiffness. THX! ...

Please note that the punctuation help I need IS NOT FOR A COURSE TEST! I am at my wits-end trying to punctuate the following two paragraphs. I hope a few of you more knowledgeable MTs can show me the correct way to punctuate the following paragraphs: The patient is a 98-year-old Caucasian female who is hard of hearing, with visual impediments, with a known history of coronary artery disease; history of congestive heart failure and vasovagal syncope; with a history of lumbar stenosis, lumba ...
