Gotta Love and incentive with NJA

Dictated: vegetations SR: bitch dictations I sat and laughed for a good 2 minutes...smh and the thing I wonder the most is HOW does SR even know that word?? LOL ...

Dictator said: Sturge-Weber syndrome System typed: stirred should we burst syndrome ...

It states, "Most important plenty of work. We do all we can to assure you will stay busy your entire shift. NO waiting or praying for work to come." I guess today and the last 2 months have been my imagination. ...

Gotta wonder if all these patients with "poor hearing acuity" are really deaf or just can't understand the doctor (which I can totally identify with, but feel my hearing acuity is fine). So patients are at fault also if they can't understand the doctor? ...

I am just so exasperated right now! I'm a new MT, been at it a little over 3 months. I think the company I work for is pretty good. We have mostly good dictators, good platform, plenty of work, and nice QA and staff. I type 70 wpm, and I add to my word expander and autocorrect daily. Our minimal required line count per week is 6,000, and I'm only averaging about 3,500 to 3,800. I'm putting in 50 hours or a little more and still can ...

ASR: tachy fell axis I am wiping the tears from my eyes on this one. What a stupid program. I swear it is written by the Indians. I had a wonderful English-speaking clear-as-day doctor yesterday, first name of Daniel, and the ASR did not get 75% of his dictation. It was just words and gibberish. It was a crying shame. That could have been a helpful tool in that instance. It should have been able to transcribe him perfectly and editing should have ...

what do you do if you find out you need to take a day or day and a half to attend symposium (need the CECs for my CMT) and it's during the first 90 days? should you forget it and skip the symposium, or would you ask to be off and make up your time? ...

Okay guys, I just have to vent because I know many of you share the same frustrations and will understand where I'm coming from. I've got over 10 years of transcription experience and I'm making $10 an hour. This is a $5 per hour cut from what I made in a larger city before I had to move to a smaller one in a different state. I got divorced earlier this year and this is no longer enough to survive on for me with just one income in the household now. I pride myself on being a good, ...

On my semi-yearly quality analysis, I achieved 98.8%, the best I've done in three years. I am a happy camper! ...

After not being audited since last August, I just received an audit. Do you suppose it was because I went over my CCM's head and complained to her supervisor about not hearing from her regarding the loss of a 10 minute report when DQS went down? I thought they were going to slam me but, lo and behold, a near-perfect audit. They gotta be getting desperate for MTs who can transcribe this crap and make it even moderately coherent. Next time I think I'll leave profu ...

I've got a gripe. I hope this is not too long but would really like suggestions if any of my fellow MTs have been in this predicament. If you are QA turned MT, don't bother to reply. I don't need sarcasm to start my day. The company I worked for went into partnership with another company. The new company even changed the name of the company and the new partner is the president of the company. We're supposed to make all complaints to her; however ...

Gee whiz, Nuance's revenue was up approximately 34% in the 3rd quarter ending June 2012 especially in their healthcare market. This sickens me IMO. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/nuance-announces-third-quarter-fiscal-2012-results-2012-08-07 ...

I am doing a dictation from a doctor who sounds like he's got a mouth full of mush. His speech is slurred and I can't understand half of what he's saying. As a result, this report is going to QA with so many blanks in it that it looks like Swiss cheese. At this point I really don't care any more. I've had it up to my eyeballs with this guy and everyone like him. If I could afford to quit, I would right now. ...

Feeling so frustrated that MDs can't be bothered to articulate... The company I work for "dings" me for blanks...but their QA is merciless about mistakes. (Non-critical, stupid grammatical issues, i.e., "The son agreed with the plan" versus "HIS son agreed with the plan.") I am feeling like I can't do this anymore. I am GOOD at what I do, but when audio sucks, what do they expect? I am screwed no matter what I do. If I made more than $13 an hour, (which took me ye ...

Dr. dictates: Postsurgical drains over the abdomen ... VR types: Postsurgical brains over the abdomen ... Bwahahahahahahahaha!!! ...

Have to say, I love Mmodal. My CCM is caring and considerate and kind. Also, love the pay and hardly ever running out of work but when we do, that is a nice break for me. I just put the pedal to the metal and don't take anything posted here to heart cuz, lots of angry people just wanting to take you down. Pass on the love!!! ...

Why is it that when a doctor cannot pronounce a medication they will spend FIVE minutes TRYING to sound it out and STILL leave me with no clue what they are trying to say, when it would be MUCH quicker if they could just SPELL it? I mean if you can't pronounce it, just SPELL it, even if you spell it wrong, I can find it quicker from it being spelled to me incorrectly than having to decipher out how you MIGHT be pronouncing it! Just my rant for today, lol. ...

CRITICAL ERRORS - Okay, a patient comes into the hospital, gravely ill. They take some xrays (I am radiology so I use that example). Maybe a CT or an MRI. The radiologist is allerted this is a rush because the patient is so ill, he calls the report to the MD taking care of the patient to let him know what he sees. Then, after he calls the report, he dictates it, and I type it...I make a mistake and put, lets say, no congestive heart failure noted, because he mumbles and talks ...

Either get email or phone call asking when they can contact me, I reply, and they never do! Why not just tell me the job is filled?? GRR... ...

A new ESL dictating a DS. Can't speed him up because he's too "new" (to this country?). He is spelling every other word!!!!!! AND then spells it again - extubated, e-x-t-u-b-a-t-e-d, extubated e for elephant, x for crosses, t for tom, u for umbrella, b for .......... get the picture (sigh)? On top of that, the report is 28 minutes long!!! Should never have gotten out of bed this morning. LOL I do feel bad for him that he doesn't realize he doesn't have to spell every other ...

Whenever we are asked to help, there is no incentive offered. I never thought of it at all, until I started reading some random posts below about getting incentive. Hmmm I always let them know I am happy to help, was that dumb of me to say that? Did I screw myself out of ever getting an incentive? or maybe not all companies offer it to begin with. oh well. ...

which I would never know since I can't get into MQ Central, then why have I had NJA for the past half hour? Who comes up with these bright ideas??? What a joke! ...

The way it looks to me, they give me a target to hit over 4 days, which (I don't need the particulars of how they arrived at it, but I get them anyway) pretty much reflects my daily average. Okay so now I work all day today, tomorrow, Sunday and Monday, making my average each day and THEN, at the end of Monday, if I'm able to get in another 100 lines, I will get 3 cents for those 100 lines??? So I work all day on my two days off for 3 dollars? Have I got that straight ...

Ok guys having a brain fart......I know it is incentive weekend or whatever, but does that mean they want you JUST to work your regular hours or are you to do OT if at all possible. ...

Check e-mail. Two-day incentive in place due to high backlogs. (Only after you hit an impossible number though.) ...

Just like they did last year and I think the year before that. They will have pretty much an incentive every week to get the backlog all pristine, whether or not there is a lot of work. Because of this, if you participate in trying to reach this incentive, your goal each time will be higher and higher, to the point of unreachable. Dirty tricks. ...

First, let me say I have 30 years experience as a MT, but this is my first experience with editing. That said, I hate editing except it does give my arms a break. I can maintain 99% QA and low QC score. What I can't do is a zillion lines per hours. I used to make well over $40,000/year before internet came into this field and then the editing. This year I'll be luckly to make over $2?,000 which just sucks. The incentive plan is just plain stupid. It ...

that is exactly why they did that - sm
