Every single doctor - this morning


Posted: Sep 17, 2012

has been eating and chomping and slurping and slobbering and mucking up every single report.  Hour into my shift and I have a throbbing headache.  Not to mention the middle eastern $%@# who is listening to the top ten favorite hits from his satellite arab radio station, cymbals and banging and whirling and clacking.

I received several emails from the MT that it was not her job to transcribe the correct date of service, correct anything, left several blanks when the doctor was speaking extremely clear English (despite several samples sent) or anything else. She then states that she will not edit her own reports and that I should edit and transcribe whatever questions she has despite information sent, a 1/2 page, which is just BOS. Also, she says how dare I request actual correct punctuation....This at 9 cpl but templated reports, so pay is 50 cents per line.... venting.. you should see the email. No wonder we are so devalued.

Overheard A Doctor Telling Another Doctor...
Oct 15, 2010

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one  was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now".  Well, that's how  MTs are being treated now.  Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's  don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends.  Are they sadistic or something.  Why do we put u ...


Single Mommies

I just want to send a message to all you hard-working, single mommies out there. I was in your shoes and had to make a living doing transcription to support my young family.

AP And Lateral - Single Entity?
Aug 30, 2012

For a while now, whenever the doctor said, "AP and lateral is taken today," I would change it to "AP and lateral are taken today," but then a thought came to me that what if "AP and lateral" is a single entity, much like "macaroni and cheese," which is usually referred as a single thing. Is that the case with AP and lateral films? ...

Work At Home Single Mom Guilt
Oct 24, 2011

My 7 and almost 5 year olds spent the summer with their dad and I was working freely. Prior to that, for their entire lives I have worked at home while they were home. No daycare, ever. Always managing somehow, whether I had a significant other or whether I was a single mom. But today I've been thrust back into the first school night they've been home this year and I wonder how I ever did it. Homework, dinner, keeping them occupied while I sit in front of the computer for 8 hours. Pani ...

I'm Currently Doing Nearly Real-time Reports And Not A Single Dictator...

Fired For Input Of Single Wrong Digit.
Oct 11, 2012

The system I worked on required me to input the identity of the dictating physician as a number, not a name. I missed a digit, inputting a 6 instead of a 9 as one of the 3 digits. This caused the report [an operative report, in the body of which the dictator/surgeon's name is spelled out] to be sent to the wrong physician for signature. I am told I am now in violation of HIPAA and I am fired from the account. Since it is my only account, I am fired, period. Ah well. ...
