I feel like I am correcting ILP work.

garbled mess ASR puts to Eliquis, for example, for a couple of years now & it still hasn't "learned" the term, I have doubts it's set to learn at all.... seriously.... ...

Do you correct the dictator's grammer? My 12 year old niece just recently corrected my mom when my mom said she was laying in bed. Taylor went on to explain the difference between laying and lying. I learned that in school but certainly had forgotten that rule. When the dictator says "The patient is laying in bed", do you correct it to lying? Just curious. I've had no complaints and I hate sending out dictation with grammatical errors. ...

Anyone ever had this happen? You spell something and you know it's right, plain and simple - however, the doctor corrects you on it, but its still wrong!! Do you spell it "wrong" -just for him only- to make him happy so he doesnt think you're not doing your job right or do you keep on spelling it "right", which he says is "wrong"? ...

Does anybody happen to know if there's a best way to correct VR to hopefully have it actually "learn"? For example, is it better to completely delete and reinsert the "respiratory" part in an error like "respiratory clear breath sounds" by using my expansion for the capped RESPIRATORY: heading, or would it supposedly learn better if I used case change and added the colon? In other words, are corrections to existing text better or deletions/insertions instead? I don't ...

Just a small rant here. WHY in the world do companies tell US, the MT to change this or that when the DOCTOR says it? An example....VR work, hospital policy is dates in numeric, so doctor dictates June 22, VR types June 22, but we have to change this to 06/22. Hospital says don't say patient names, but doctor dictates Mr. Smith, VR types Mr. Smith and WE have to change to "the patient". I mean, wouldn't it be MUCH more simple to just TELL the doctors to say it ...

I can't help but think of my days and months of training and if I consistently put out work like I am correcting, I would have been fired in a New York minute!!! Please don't post the normal you can get out, it's your fault for staying, blah, blah, blah. I just wish someone would listen as to what a mess this is and the chances of mistakes getting through because there are so many corrections and words that are not even medical or consistent with the report. Just ...

Fixing errors on the fly or letting them stay until you spellcheck the entire document? If it's a they're/there/their type of error, obviously you have to fix it ASAP, but for the ones where your fingers just make a major flub that gets red lined, which do you find to be a better use of time? I can't stand seeing all those red lines, so I almost always backspace and make the correction right away, but I'm wondering if that isn't more of a time waster than n ...

Just curious - do you all correct any typos AS you type or wait to do it/them at the end of the report? I do mine as I type; just curious if others have a better way. Also, each day have a different word that won't "TYPE" out right that day - today is STONE....this is coming out SEONT...dyslexic today. But each day it's a different word that just won't behave. Always interesting to see what my fingers will pick each day. Anyone else have this h ...

There has to be a fine line between vertabatim and what is transcribed. :- Blanks are sometimes left for a reason, and anyone with the knowledge they should have to do QA should know when the value and/or unit of measurement is impossible. The measurement unit the doctor dictated, probably by mistake, was impossible. If that value was so, that duct would have been half the height of the patient. Although, the doctor was ESL, so he may not have known the difference anyway. At least I know ...

Okay, I just started working here and I've been trying to keep my reports perfect. When a doctor says "past medical history," I've been just typing "medical history" because isn't past and history together being redundant? I'm still on 100% QA and all my feedback has the "past" put back in. I'm not on a verbatim account, so shouldn't me correcting this be okay? ...

I can't believe the number of errors entering the wrong demographics, apparently by the clients, that we have to research and clean up for zero pay! ...

I was just looking at the Word Help board - I can't imagine working at home by myself, having no one to ask for help. When I first started, you could turn to the person next to you and get some help. They've really been thrown to the wolves. Good luck, all!! ...

as the poster below. I think the lag in our computers now with the 6.1 is either because the ILPs are "observing" while we are typing or there is a spyware included to watch our keystrokes and screens. Getting paranoid. ...

Today is payday. Never knowing what it will be until I check my bank account, I get this horrible feeling in the pit of my stomach while logging on to my bank's website. It's sort of like butterflies, but not as pleasant a feeling! This morning, I took a look at the last five deposits. Most are within 20 or 30 dollars, but they all are getting progressively smaller, smaller, smaller. Compared to two years ago, it's literally half of what I was making. Egads! Soon I will be p ...

I know a lot of you work for companies right now that do not have enough work and I can truly empathize with you, have been in that boat as well. But the company I work for begs us to do overtime every single solitary weekend, aka Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have been in this field for almost 30 years and quite honestly I am burnt out. I put in my 40 hours a week and feel the rest of my life is my time. I have neck problems and back problems as well, but still manage to do my best and am also ...

Who are actually listening and believing this BS that WMJ is spewing out. She or he does NOT have your best interest at heart. If you choose to do the sick out I can guarantee that you will not have a job when you try to log back in on the 2nd. We work in an at will employment job. They can lock you out and not even give you a reason for letting you go. We do not have a union which would protect you in a strike situation though I for one still would not want to be in a union because they ar ...

The so called random dictation is designed to slow you down, makes me mad when I just want to get the work done without constanting stopping and starting, rearranging the formats, etc. ...

a note and say, "Hey, the reason you have having to s-p-e-l-l these simple words now is because your chart notes are being done in India." All part of the plot to push for off-shoring the work because there are "so few qualified US MTs." ...

they'd be too old to start at the bottom and no one will hire them, consider getting your real estate license. It only takes 2 months, and this happens to be an industry where it seems age actually is of benefit! Trust me, I've done it and now an apartment manager in a small complex where I pay no rent and no utilities. Try it if interested, you might like it :) ...

I made 99.125 on my audit this month. Why do i feel this company still considers this failing. One thing is for sure, I cannolt wait until I get another job. ...

I am so sick and tired of this work, this company, and really hate sitting down here every day for the past 20 years. It gets harder each day with every new rule, policy or threat we receive. Whether there is work or not, I feel the same way - I am so burned out on this garbage. I am still far from retirement and really trying to find a way to refocus myself to concentrate on this mind-numbing drivel that ASR puts out. I am so sick and tired of putting in commas, taking o ...

one of those bears on a track in the carnival shooting games. Shoot-ding-turn, shoot-ding-turn......... ...

Today I could so easily throw my computer and reference books in a pile in the middle of my office, light a match, and walk away. ...

I started my job at the high school cafeteria and believe it or not, love it. Min wage never felt so good. I'm still doing MT at night, but have been having a *forget this* attitude. Plus, with the work load at my MTSO being so friggin' slow, it just depletes my motivation. If we really didn't need the money, I would up and quit. {{sigh}} ...

I'm going to preface this by asking that there be NO judgment ... no snarky "get out of the field then" or "don't let the door hitcha in the arse" comments. I'm just having one of "those" days where I feel absolutely horrible about the work that I do. Tomorrow, I will be fine again and we all have these days from time to time. I'm getting ALL crappy reports today. I can't seem to understand ANY of the dictation I've gotten, I've barely ...

The old bait and switch . Ask you to work OT and then give you the worst of the worst. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. I sure could use the extra money but don't want to go through the "crap" to earn it. ...

I have a doc describing a cough and I can not come up with the correct spelling on the end of the word. It is a rattley cough, as in rattle-like sounding cough. It is not rattling, but rattle-e. Some days, the brain is just not functioning. Duh! Sorry. ...

I have 20+ years' experience as an MT, 8 more years as a nurse before that, consider myself a reasonably intelligent person, yet I feel like I'm struggling more and more just to do this job. I had the most horrific dictators today with the worst ASR, one after the other. It felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders as I slumped in my chair trying to get the jobs done. I just could not understand those Indian doctors. Stutterers. Clanging backgr ...
