I am about to SCREAM - anon

Posted: Jan 08, 2015

I am NOT KIDDING and I am not exaggerating I just spent one SOLID HOUR on a 500 second report from one of the worst dictators I've ever heard in my entire 16-year career, hands down. I literally made NOTHING for ONE FULL HOUR. Nothing. Almost 50 blanks and one full hour later, I honestly could not have given a crap by the end. They got what they got.

I am seriously pissed off right now. That dictator needs to be punched in the face.

BAD DICTATOR - MUZZY

I franchise sharp sticks. I can give you a really good price on a sharp stick franchise to use to poke doctors in the eye with when they dictate poorly, especially if you know they can do better. I personally believe a sharp stick to either eye (both if you prefer) will get their attention better and for a longer time than a punch in the face. Let me know if you wish to avail yourself of my sharp stick franchise offer. Thank you for your attention to this and I hope you have a better day!

Thank you muzzy - anony

I am VERY interested. Tee hee. Imagining selling out very rapidly. Thank you for the much needed laugh at the end of a wicked 4 days. Going to take a bubble bath and open a bottle of wine. Right now my life is CRAP and I want to forget about it. Wishing I could find an easier way to support myself. I'm way too old for all the drama.

Boy, do I know where you're coming from. Seems like just about every night, I am falling short of minimum lines for the day because I get a crappy dictator like this that dictates a LONG bleeping rambling mess while I try to figure out not only what he is saying but trying to correct what the computer THINKS he's saying. I'm sorry, but there really should be SOMEONE in charge at these facilities that can tell these boneheads that they are NOT allowed to dictate ! Plus, add that to the first year residents/interns who are now allowed to dictate WITHOUT supervision of any kind and those half dozen fools just lost me any kind of decent $$ I might have made for the day.

I get 1 more job from this resident (yes, I said resident) and have to listen to her talk about axillIARY nodes, the oropharNYX, whether the patient is orientATed, and receiving PheneGRIn. Are there no requirements in medical school any more? And, God forbid, she put together a reasonable sentence that actually has a subject and verb that agree, as well as one that makes some sense instead of being all run together. Thanks for listening to my vent. Just too many rep ...

I know, I know ... all been said before but I need to VENT ! aarrrggggg Not submitting QA checked box but reports are being QA'd, so took a look -- In past, QA person and I haggled about capitalizing (told it is, i.e., Emergency Room NOT emergency room). For last month, moved to new account/region/CCM and these QA "experts" are marking me for ERRORS for capitalizing the example above (as previously instructed). CP states acct is VERBATIM and "do not add headings" -- ...

I have been a MT for over 23 years and have always received praise regarding the work that I produce. Grant you, I am not a CMT and I definitely do not have the "know" that a lot of MTs have but still, as I said, I have held MANY jobs in this industry and have never had any complaints. Within the last two weeks I have tested for two different companies, most recent Probity, on MTtest and have FAILED both!! With Probity I never made it to the transcription portion of the test before ...

Is it just me, or are there some days when you just can't understand a normally easy dictator? I've had this all day long today. People who are usually very easy to transcribe are suddenly talking like they've got a mouthful of marbles or they're skipping back and forth all over the report. YAAAHHHH!!! Boy, do I feel better!! ...

with lots of blanks because of poor quality. What happens? I get hit with MULTIPLE invalid blanks. That is ridiculous. Would they rather have me guess. I don't care if everybody else in the company can hear it, if I can't then I WILL NOT guess just to keep from having to send it to QA or QC or whoever gets it. There is nothing whatsoever constructive about FIESA. All it does is stress people out. ...
