Loud doctors - blown eardrums

I have been reading the daily posts for weeks now of MTs applying for jobs with MTSOs, large and small, leaving their sometimes current positions to go with a company who advertise they have new accounts, always steady work, never have to worry about NJA. Then, the MTs join these companies/service owners and within a day/sometimes hours, they have now fallen into the category of another day without work/waiting for work, etc. I just don't understand this. I would think this would be a ...

Particularly on the review of systems and physical examination, now stacking up to the left if it is supposed to do so, with headings and colons? ...

happens right after you upload a job and right before you get the "spellcheck complete" message? I know someone described how to stop that sound before but I can't find it. I would be so appreciative if someone could let me know.......this thing is driving me CRAZY. Thanks! :) ...

I do. My faithful dog who sits beside me all day must think I am talking to him, but sometimes when they say the most idiotic things I just feel compelled to respond out loud. It does make me feel better. On the flipside of that, I wonder if the dictators are thinking to themselves while dictating that they sure hope I don't leave any blanks so they have to fill them in. It would be fun (?) to get together with some doctors and have a session of "To Tell The Truth A ...

MEDICATIONS: New pigeon. Don't you just love it? ...

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... ...

If I read along regularly and reply only sporadically, who the heck is following my posts enough to stalk me? Really? ...

I can't find a happy medium. It is too loud when he is loud and too soft when he is soft. It's horrible and hurts and slows me down. Thanks for any suggestions offered. UGH. ...

This is a first-- loud croaking frogs are drowning out the surgeon. I mean really loud frogs!!! He is on a landline, so this is really, really weird. ...

Today I had the misfortune to have 2 lo-o-o-ng reports by the same dictator - I suspect someone else had him before me and said No Thanks and passed him on to me. He wouldn't have been bad at all if he'd just speeded up about 5 times faster, and if his son had not been listening to cartoons about 3 feet away. Actually, his mentation was so slow, it was probably his grandson listening to cartoons. At one point, he turned around and asked the kid to turn it down some, a ...

background. It seems to happen when I am typing fast and maybe the keys get going to fast and then I hear this loud buzz so not sure what that is. It isnt all the time just every now and then. Rather difficult to explain. ...

Hello everyone, I have downloaded .wav files and tried to play them in Express Scribe and also in Transcription Buddy. They both play great when first pressing the foot pedal. But when I let up on the pedal, there is a VERY loud buzz that won't go away until I delete the file, and not even after I exit the software. Each successive time I press and release the foot pedal, the quality of the buzzing changes - loud, soft, different tones - but it never goes away. ...

From the KevinPho MD site: There was a time when doctors were doctors. There was a time when young men and women sacrificed the best years of their youth, learning to treat patients and conquer diseases, not to become typists, paper pushers, data-entry clerks, or to have hospitals, insurance companies, and the federal government dictate to us how to practice medicine. There was a time when doctors were trusted. There was a time when we were not guilty until proven ot ...

I thought there was a way to make that annoying ding sound at the end of the dictation when spell check is complete to sound softer. I have Windows XP. I keep looking in the control panel but it does not seem familiar to me as to the way I used to do it. In some reports if the dictator talks low and then when you reach the end it blasts out my eardrum. TIA. ...

Heart sounds: Aortic "seconds" are loud - ?? Thank you!! ...

Doesn't it drive you nuts when a doctor consistently cuts himself off when he dictates? I sometimes get half words, the last couple letters of words, places where I haves to leave blanks because they say something like: EKG showed (silence) rhythm. What kind of regular? Regular rate and....? Arrrrggggghhhh! Sorry. Needed to vent. I make sure to send a note that dictation cuts out. What I really want to say is the doctor dictates like an idio ...

I have heard Indiana Jones, however. ...

I dispise doctors who not only eat while dictating, but eat with their mouths right up to the phone, openly smacking loudly - smack-smack-smack. What disgusting pigs! I hate them! They obviously aren't taught any table manners where they come from. ...

encounters, are they required to have a short course on proper dictation procedure? I would think, being that this medical record is sooo freaking important that we are drawn and quartered if not perfect, that these professionals who generate these reports would also be schooled about proper pronunciation, enunciation, etc. before they throw it out there for us to perfect. Getting kind of sick of these lazy, mush-mouthed, slurred, rapid and mispronounced dictations. ...

Should have their right to dictate revoked. What a looong day ...

If anyone knows any kind of info at all for this company I would love to hear from you. I am supposed to be talking to someone tomorrow from this company and I would love to know if they are legit. Thanks so much! ...

Why is it the doctors cannot give you the information you need in the order you need it. They all know the standards and they will sure raise hell if we deviate. Would it be too much to ask for just a little consideration in this regard so we are not constantly jumping all over the place? I mean, heck, their God, God can do anything. ...

Has anyone worked with this company before, not seen much posted for them, is that good or bad? ...

I can't find a dang thing in the archives about this company. HELP. Thanks everyone. ...

To the poster who posted below looking for information on TTD. They don't have their own accounts. They work for Superior Global and maybe others. Superior pays them to find ICs. They probably pay them 4 cpl and then TTD pays you a cruddy 3 cpl to edit VR reports. They don't offer direct deposit because Superior is paying them and then they pay you, which is why you have to wait a month for your check. I would never work for a company that is just bascially an agency hir ...

I accidentally posted this on the main board too so sorry for the repeat post. I saw a post here that TTD was a bad company to work for. I recently graduated form CS and I have been looking for a job for the past 2 weeks. TTD offered me a job without doing any testing and I thought that was odd. I really want to gain experience since but I don't want to work for a horrible place. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ...

I have gone through the past several months and I saw one post about The Transcription Doctors being a bad company to work for. I was wondering if anyone has had a good experience or if they are all still bad comments. I just recently graduated from CS and I have been looking for jobs for a while. I was offered the job at TTD without doing any testing and I just thought it was odd. I just want to gain experience but Im nervous to work there after what I have read. Any input would be greatl ...

My recommendation is to have any MT who feels her time is valuable to Stay very far away from this company. I am going to be very careful in how I word this. Company did not pay me correctly. Our line counts did not match. Experienced problems with line count accuracy early in employment. Kept accurate records of line counts (their counts and my counts). Was only paid 1/10th of first invoice. Inquired about issue several times, and only when I sent an email to ...

Why, oh why, oh why can't the students hit the PAUSE button when they are dictating to gather their thoughts? Why must I sit through listening to page turning, and "thinking" noises? Meanwhile, time is money in this job ... and I really am getting tired of this! My main account is a large teaching hospital, and so I get alot of students, residents, fellows ... etc. <grrrrrrrrr> OK .. I feel better now that I just vented! :) ...
