Maybe if you didnt eat and dictate - sm
Posted: Oct 14, 2014
#1 I would be able to understand you. And BTW, chewing like a cow is not attractive at all. And #2, you wouldn't choke on your food. And since you did choke through a word or 2, it would be nice if you re-dictated that because I have no idea what cough, cough, cough is supposed to be. I HATE this dictator, why does the company not tell her how to talk, I'm done complaining since it gets me nowhere..
why not leave a note - dictator eating and choking, unclear
[ In Reply To ..]I do it all the time. Dictation unclear due to dictator eating, chewing loudly, choking on food, coughing, etc.
May not get her to dictate the right way but makes me feel good that I pointed out its her problem and not mine!
Hum - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I got in trouble for leaving a professional note one time regarding leaving out ADT information or not spelling the name, something to that effect. I can only imagine the backlash on doing that..
been here 15 years - never once told I cant leave notes
[ In Reply To ..]x
what can I say - sm
[ In Reply To ..]I get yelled at for crazy stuff. Out of curiosity, what kind of remarks can you leave? I was always told keep them short, professional, etc. I was told only things like discrepancy in right to left, medications, patient gender. I do leave various audio comments but only things like poor sound quality.
We were told to only leave notes for - things like rt/lt discrepancy
[ In Reply To ..]or sound quality, but to never put anything about chewing, blowing, etc.
I usually put - MModal Livestock
[ In Reply To ..]"poor sound quality" for anything, even if the doctor is just being a moron. I too have gotten in trouble for putting notes that were too personalized in the past. I never put anything like "This guy's dumb as a stump." Just little stuff like commenting that I couldn't hear what he was saying over background conversation or that he was mumbling. Apparently doctors can't mumble LOL. The more you know.

How Will YOU Dictate?
Feb 03, 2010
I see a lot of MTs returning to school and often in the medical profession. Since the industry seems hell-bent on having all the transcription done in India, will that influence how you nurses and psychologist dictate when it is your turn to dictate, or will you be so relieved to be through with this tragedy that you won't even think about it? Just wondering. ...

Where Do Doctors Dictate?
Oct 13, 2011
Ok, I'm curious, but can doctos do their dictations anywhere? A lot of times, I hear a bunch of doctors in like some sort of dictation room. You can hear other doctors doing dications. I just picture a bunch of people in white coats sitting at a desk talking into a phone. lol. Other times it sounds like they're in an emergency room while an emergency is going on. People are asking for things, things are clanging around. Sometimes it sounds like they're in their own home. Had an ...
Is It Just Me Or Is This The New Way To Dictate Dates?
May 16, 2013
More and more frequently, I am getting dictators who say, "the patient underwent the procedure IN 04/11/12" or "the patient underwent the procedure ON April 2012." It's just a little thing that's kind of annoying because you have to change the IN to ON and vice versa, but it's happening so often, I'm wondering if that's now an acceptable way to say it and I'm just not in the know. Anyone else get this? ...
Learning To Dictate The RIGHT WAY?
Jun 04, 2013
I am an experienced nurse practitioner with seven years of experience. Now that I am working in an acute care environment, I am required to dictact all of my consultations. I have a template from which I am dictating. But from the results of my transcriptions, I could use some help from medical transcriptionists on how to dictate the RIGHT WAY. Of course, I was never taught how to dictate. I was taught how to use the telephone to dictate, but I was never taught the right way to dictate clearly ...
Did You Ever Stop To Think How Much Better You Could Dictate

than some of these idiots who you have to muddle through on day after day after day ad nauseum? I am transcribing this dictator tonight who has had one patient with "infantigo" and on her "review of symptoms" she dictates "Eyes" as a subheading by itself then does HEENT later on in the review. I would be so organized if I were doing this, I would have a standard sheet for every patient with ROS and PE, then just fill in the blanks and note any abnormalties. It would be so easy for us ...

Please Tell These Doctors How To Dictate
Feb 01, 2015
So tired of going in an out of the ADT screen, choosing just patient because they don't dictate a day until part way through the dictation, or the referring physician. I honestly think, if someone told them it would make our lives easier they would comply..And I know this is dreaming, but dictate the CCs at the beginning of the report so it is easier to find the names and spell them correctly when you dictate them throughout the report. And by all means at the end don't say please cc ...

Physician Do Not Dictate List
Mar 15, 2010
Since we have a (lengthy) Do Not Use list, I think the doctors should be versed in proper dictating form with a Do Not Dictate list to include "next", "next number", "new line", "skip line", "and", and "uh, uh, uh" and all those other little irritating words that ASR loves! Charge them 3 cents MORE per line of dictation if they can't maintain 98% with no blanks sent back to them!!!!!!!! ...

More blanks than anything else. I would love him to just hear himself when he's awake. Just listen to himself and ask himself how anyone could possibly understand a word. I only hope he wasn't as ...
