I'm in the SE and I'm getting work.
Give your HDSM a holler on what's going on.
Thanks, Coco - I can holler all I want,

My HDSM answers neither phone calls nor e-mails.
Maybe You Have the Better HDSM - Sad

At least your HDSM is not lying to you at every turn. Maybe that is why she/he doesn't return the calls and e-mails, maybe they have some integrity and compassion.
Wait, I thought we were HDSMs? What on earth are our initials now? - LOL at tjhese ridiculous made-up titles. NM

HDS/SHDA/HDSM - JustMe

MT is now HDS (Healthcare Documentation Specialist).
MME/QA is now SHDA (Senior Healthcare Documentation Analyst).
TSM is now HDSM (Healthcare Documentation Services Manager).
At least for today... tomorrow, who knows.. ;)
It would be less confusing to call us HDSA, HDSB, HDSC, etc. LOL - nm

Always NJA In Morning Jan 30, 2010I'm getting so tired of having a report or two, then NJA, then while waiting another report comes, then NJA, etc., etc., early in my shift. Sure, we have been encouraged to just check back later on and work then. I really don't know why they suggest or even allow this to happen. When you log on during another shift, all you're doing is taking work from those folks who normall work then. They in turn are then told to work later too and this cycle of NJA just ...

After Seeing The Ad This Morning For The IC And They Jan 02, 2012only want to pay 8 cpl on top of requiring a foot pedal and specific software, has anyone ever emailed these places to tell them how absolutely ridiculous it is for them to expect us to buy a footpedal and specific software when the pay is low? Just curious. ...
One More Thing! Mar 11, 2010Just one more thought. I have never, ever, known anyone who has left Medquist or Spheris and regretted it. They may bounce back and forth just to get by, but in the long run, when they are finally finished, they are finished. For all of those MTs who don't want to start over, please don't take that attitude. I did and it only got worse and when I did change it wasn't that bad at all. Again, could it get any worse? ...
And Another Thing........... Mar 15, 2010Not that I'm not glad it was an increase rather than a pay cut, but I think for a lot of us this "raise" is going to just even us out for when he start getting docked pay April 1. Funny that this "raise" is starting April 1, isn't it? ...
I Did The Right Thing It Seems May 02, 2010Now I know I did the right thing in not only leaving the Q but leaving the field altogether. I had another physical last week and my blood pressure was back down to 120/70, and my doctor was very happy when he learned I had quit.
They wasted no time in sending me labels to ship the computer back, though. Oh well.. they don't want the monitor, or mouse, or keyboard, so I'm keeping those! ...

Is There Such A Thing As Jul 13, 2013Urine welkenton? Not sure of spelling, since I'm not sure it's really a word. They could also be saying welkington. That's what the dictation sounds like and I've listened to it several times on numerous days. Can't find a reference to it anywhere and I've tried many variations. Wondering if it's a really old term or if I'm completely misunderstanding.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks! ...
One More Thing Before I Go Nov 23, 2013I do believe now that they are starting to target those of us who were making 10/6. In the past, on my old accounts, I was audited no more than once a month. If I failed an occasional audit, they would wait another month to see how I did on that one and since I always passed, no action was taken. There was also no action after I took more than the allowable time off. Then, at the beginning of November, I was moved to another BOB. After being on the account for less ...
I Tried To Do The Right Thing But.... Dec 12, 2014I just can't stick it out 2 weeks :( Every job I type just stresses me out more and more. I am to the point that I don't care if I get my 20 hours PTO I have built up. I am emailing back and forth with my TSM right now and it sounds like she is reading off a script! "Take each report as they come and try to do your best to prevent errors" No $%^& lady!! Does she think we don't know that????? ARRRGGH I am so beyond frustrate ...
And Here's One Other Thing! Apr 01, 2015Just had a doctor dictate "potassium 40 mg," (should have been mEq) and then further down, "Levemir 40 mg" (should have been units). If I had not left blanks for them, that would have been 6 points off. It also compelled me to use my allotment of blanks for that report!
But they, of course, do not get penalized for their mistakes. On the other hand, our pay is docked. There is a double standard here that needs to be changed. ...

No Jobs Available This Morning Jan 01, 2010It was slow last night too. I had to work back to back for the holiday with no holiday pay late last night while others were celebrating around the neighborhood. Then at midnight when I got off work, it was just in time to see all the fireworks go off in the neighborhood.
I wonder if no jobs available will be all day long!!! ...

UGH... This Is A 4 Tums Morning Apr 03, 2010I am sick to death of typing on accounts not in my BOB! This is the 4th one already and I am only an hour into my shift.
There are no samples in the repositry, there are no jobs that come up under the dictator look up feature...
I keep stuffing down the Tums, wondering why in the heck I was forced to do weekend hours when there is no work in my accounts on the weekend.
I HATE THIS. How do you all do it? Who put me in this "helper pool" in the first place? ...
Where Is Everyone This Morning? I Did Not Get My Check. Sm May 10, 2010Well, to the poster below in ESL garbage land, first let me say. I too was in that same place 2 weeks ago. An addition to my regular account, but it was all I was getting and NOT getting my OP notes at all. The reports were not more than 20 lines usually, but I spent much, much time in trying to decipher and be FTR. My CCM was very good about it, and told me it would be taken off and I would not have to do that account any longer. Of course, I wish I had ...

So I Took The Test This Morning For TCI Nov 23, 2010Needless to say, I will not be working for them. When I come across doctors who actually care to slow down and speak clearly, that will be the right company for me. I swear I understood about every fifth word these awful dictators said. And they were not ESL!! Very irritating! ...

Oh Me, Got A Gum Smacker This Morning. Do These Apr 17, 2012numbskulls not realize there is a human being on the end of the dictating apparatus they are using. It is absolutely disgusting, nauseating, rude and totally unprofessional. If a physician went into a room to examine a patient smacking gum, it would be deemed totally unacceptable. The same thing with carrying on side conversations, laughing, eating, burping, snorting, harking, spitting, coughing, et cetera. They would NOT be in business very long. Dictating that med ...
