Hello everyone. This is kind of a silly question but I was wondering, what do some of you do when you are working and you get sleepy ?? I find that this is a constant problem for me. I drink coffee, pop and whatever to boost myself but find that it just has to go away on its own. I would really appreciate any tips some of you may have found helpful. Thank you so much ! ...

Apparently I have finally completely squished down the (fairly substantial) padding on my chair, with my even-more-substantial weight.... It's a good chair otherwise, and considering what we get paid these days, I am not interested in replacing it. So, who can make some suggestions for something to put between me and the seat? Height will not be an issue; my desk is high, and the chair is a highly-adjustable drafting stool. TIA. :) ...

Was just falling asleep while transcribing a report. I kept nodding off. I had to rewind quite a few times to see what I may have missed. I usually don't have this problem, but I went to bed really late and had to get up earlier than usual so didn't get the sleep I normally do. What is a good wake up remedy? ...

Well, I fell for it hook, line, and sinker. Saw the ad on MT Jobs. Did the pre-evaluaiton test for the company called Cognition Health Partner. It even had my hometown as their location so I jumped on it. Then when I finished the test and the message said I did not meet minimum score and then a recommendation to receive more training and a suggestion to try Career Step, I knew I had been fooled. I thought it was too good to be true that a transcrpition company was a ...

This is the first time on this new pay plan that I've fallen below 99%. I have had two reports audited so far. Usually I have three or four, so maybe there is still hope. The two reports I have had audited each had a tiny 0.25 point error -- enough to drop me down to a 98.75!! ~sigh~ ...

Applied, was offered a position and NEVER heard another word. Emailed and left message for recruiter and no acknowledgement that they ever existed. Did I dream this? It was just last week? ...

*foos* type mechanism onto the left hand and wrist. Review of x-rays a small cortical breach of the radius or the perhaps ulna. ...

He fell on his pacemaker recently and bruised his face?? That's what she said, but it sounds strange to me. Would you leave it as is? ...

really not much medical history accept a pacemaker. ...

This is their "official" statement I found about their wonderful platform and the ability of MTs to increase their compensation up to 100%!!! Wow!!! Spitting my coke all over the computer screen http://www.nuance.com/for-healthcare/resources/mt-compensation/index.htm ...

So she signed up for this teach yourself transcription course, captured and enraptured by all its 'carnival barking' about the money, the prestige, and the convenience of working at home and being your own (uh-huh) boss...offering the world on a platter and stopping just shy of suggesting she could meet/marry a doctor. Flashcards in a box. Albeit medical words...but...flashcards in a box. ...

Does anybody know how long a report stays in our specific work pool? I've done a break on a report hoping to get rid of it. But it keeps showing back up. I'm trying to make up some sick time, but I just can't understand this garble and have already spent way too much time trying to decipher it. I've been checking on and off for the last 30 minutes and it keeps showing back up. Help!!!! ...

you wanted to quit mid shift????? Sigh. I had one of those yesterday. Everytime I see his name come up in my cue I cringe!!!! He is horrible. Horrible accent. I did notice though after doing about 3 or 4 of his reports, my ears becames "trained" on him and I get better with him as time went by. But still, he is one that just makes my momentum (sp) drop drastically! Just venting!!! Thanks for letting me share. ...

that he does NOT have to say "next sentence" before every sentence. I'm looking at 16+ minutes of this.....I'm just sayin! ...

What do you do if you are typing on a document for 780 seconds and the dictator at the very end tells you to cancel this and erase everything because she already dictated it? In all my years I was lucky enough not to get this until now. I was thinking about sending it in anyway because I just spent all this time on it!!!! ...

This doctor says "ah" inbetween just about every other word. So I'm spending all my time in the ASR taking out a bunch of "a's"!!! Wouldn't normally ah vent, but I've ah had her a lot ah today! ...

Coumadin 30 mg per day. Now, I want to make sure I'm not dreaming here, but that is completely incorrect, right? Maybe I'm having a brain lapse (been an MT for 20 years) but I want to make sure my thinking is correct that this dosage would probably be lethal? I'm going to leave a blank for the dosage, but I just wanted to double check with my MT friends. I have listened to it many times, and she is positively saying "30 mg per day." TIA!! ...

This is what it sounds like. "His WBC 11.48, and his 12.4 and 37.0 PT/PTT were normal." It seems like "PT/PTT were normal." Should be a sentence on its own, but then I'm not sure what the 12.4 and 37.0 lab values would be for. Grr... Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...

I am just curious as to what speed setting to most of you keep it on when doing ASR? I try to keep mine between 8 and 9 unless it's an extremely slow dictator. I would like to increase my line count, but I'm afraid if I speed it up too much I might miss something. ...

What do you do when you absolutely cannot understand what the dictator is saying and you work at home on your own. Can you call the dictator? Can you request to review the other medical records because chances are, the dictator is saying the same thing that appear on those records? ...

ESL dictator with very thick accent states: ...for antibiotic management. NOT with antibiotic management. Please learn to transcribe correctly. Although it wasn't me who made the mistake, it was all I could do to not put in the QA note: A female is SHE and male is HE and it is vomit not WOMIT, please learn to dictate correctly. I so wish it was okay to put QA notes to the dictators. ...

This ANP who is dictating can't make up her mind what she wants to say and constantly corrects herself and then keeps yawning, but doesn't stop the recording or even stop speaking while she's yawning. It's annoying me PLUS it's making me sleepy now myself. More coffee, please!!!! ...

Hemostasis was maintained with a bipolar and fublar. Dictator spelled FUBLAR, but pronounced as FIBiLAR, or more accurately, FIB-YOU-LAIR. ...

I know this is petty, but for some reason, it grates on my nerves to hear: blah, blah Period space space. Or Colon space space enter. I mean, please, are we considered that incompentent? but on the other end of the spectrum we have those that don't say any punctuation, which is absolutely fine, but a pause would be nice. It's not necessary to dictate a whole report in one breath. ...

on the phone to correct their grammer? I have this one who always says "chynosis" for cyanosis and "catheterism" for catheterization. It was funny at first, but now very irritating! Thanks for the vent. ...

What is the rule on filling in mg or mcg, etc., if the dictator just says "Lasix 20." (if the account is not verbatim, should this always be filled in by the transcriptionist?) Thanks! ...

Just need to vent about my ESL doc who decided at 11 last night he needed to dictate all of his H&Ps for the week. He's not very good at his best but his yawning is giving me tons of blanks and it drives me crazy not being able to get it, so have to listen 20 times to try to get one extra word, which of course takes much longer than his 5 minutes of dictation should require! Really wish he would pick a weekday to talk since I only do weekends for this hospital! ...

Dictated ... "EGD that allowed chronic GERD, with small total chronic S/L destoration" I have tried to hear chronic ulceration but that is not it. Does anyone else have a clue, please? Thanks in advance! ...

I really don't think any of them know what it means. It's been getting under my skin lately. ...
