Falling on deaf ears - just saying

He's clearly saying Ears: NTM bilaterally ..... and ears and TM bilaterally makes no sense anyway. Anyone know what that acronym could stand for?? in regard to ears/heent ??? I can't find it anywhere. ...

For the last 7-8 days I have been having a horrible time hearing dictation. I've tried several different headsets, and nothing seems to help. Is there any way to amplify the sound beyond 100%? ...

One account features soft spoken dictator, turn the volume UP to hear. Next dictator is LOUD, turn the volume down. What, I can't hear you. Wish there was some way it could be fixed so that we don't bounce back and forth. Yeah, right. ...

OK I am probably getting totally paranoid now, but do you think they manipulate the sound and speed of the dictations? I have been typing for years now for MQ and all of the sudden, the sound is really muffled and I am having to turn the bass down, and I have had to back it up a couple of clicks on the speed. Am I just getting old and deaf (and apparently hearing more slowly)? Also anybody else besides me noticed the discrepancy between minutes of dictation and lines typed on ...

I can't understand anyone here lately whats up with that? Tried volume, speed, tone, you name it ...

Becoming more and more inconsiderate..Mumble, half words, dictate at the speed of light..God I hope there are doctors that come to this site cause the company sure doesn't give us any help in making them act like responsible adults. I know your job is hard, but mine is to document what you say accurately, give me a fighting chance please.. ...

I'm surprised to see how each week seems to bring new job postings on here for lower and lower wages, even for IC's, where some have posted effective line rates (once you figure in a minimum of 15% for withholding) of 2.5 to 6 cents per line. It's like there is a game of chicken going on. Employers keep lowering the bar on pay, and MTs keep migrating to the few jobs that still pay decently. Eventually something has to give - either there will be no one left doing the ...

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 ! ...

I just read a rather crypic e-mail which indicates this is the case, though no clear reason was given as to why. It may be that at least some of the TSMs knew this was coming, which is why some of them have been so unpleasant lately. ...

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? ...

Really look into your FIESA because I could not figure out why my score was falling over the last two weeks or so. I got to looking and it is not even me. I have been being charged with errors and graded on another person's mistake. I was very worried and could not figure out what was going on. I let my TSM know and I will spend hours now trying to get everything reversed. It is worth it though because we are graded on this not only by ourselves but also as a team through your TSM. It ...

Doc dictates that ear canals and TMs are slightly injected, but no pain or s/l "pore-eye-tus". Ideas? Thanx! ...

Ears: "aflux" present ??? ...

Employing a Zeiss operating microscope, (S/L keratosquamous) debris and cerumen... As always, THANK YOU in advance... ...

No it is not a typo, and yes I am drinking. So what. ...

I'm on my 29th report for the day and I have not had one decent dictator yet. It's been solid insanity. The whole day has been filled with: 1. ESLs. They are saying the right words, but they're not pronouncing them anywhere close to correct. 2. What the heck? Everyone is yawning and talking. Please stop talking, go ahead and yawn (if you can't find the pause feature!) and then continue with your hard to unde ...

I'm new to having to work for an MTSO. The sound quality is atrocious on 80% of their dictators. The good dictators are perfectly clear. I will stop and adjust the speed/volume playing something mumbled over and over and not be able to understand it, then go back to re-listen when finished transcribing and it is perfectly clear on the first listen. Has anyone else experienced this with the sound quality, or have I developed some sort of hearing deficit? Thanks. ...

I have had pinkeye and congested ears for over 2 weeks now - went to an urgent care center, the nurse even said my eyes looked pink, but I was given nothing for it. Last week I was called on the carpet by TSM, stating I am making too many errors. Do you think I can't hear because my ears are congested and I can't see because I obviously have infection in my already suffering eyesight?? Why can't I get treatment for this?? ...

This sounds like vomis/vaumis/volmis/volmus OR it could be a phomis sound. Or maybe it begins with an "F." God only knows. This is for an infant with a lot of dry skin during the physical exam. What does this poor child have?? ...

This doctor not only mumbles the name, but mumbles the spelling of the name. I try every which way to spell what I hear, but I get that "no matching results found for the chosen criteria" ALONG WITH THAT *$#$ DING. Its not enough to get that message of not finding the patient, but to hear that ding is driving me crazy....especially with report after report of this same name mumbling man... ...

Holy mackerel, there is no predicting when they will get an email. ...

Ears reveal light reflex to be s/l: sharp / short ? ...

The sky is falling !!! Anyone else see this? Is this an aberration or a portent of the direction Medical Transcription is heading? Wednesday, September 22, 2010 College ends medical transcription program Recently Delhi University announced its Medical Transcription Program, for the first time, was producing better transcriptionists in India including South Asia. In the meantime, San Juan College is closing its Medical Transcription Program stating that there is les ...

I have a doctor dictating "The patient is deaf and dumb". Isn't this an old school saying? It seems wrong for a doctor to be saying this but thought I'd see what others though. ...

Sentence: At arthroscopy he had a s/l "golden effusion stutter" with few cartinaginous fragments. Makes no sense but I can't get my head wrapped around it. Any ideas? ...
