Patients have no idea...

The physician was speaking very very clearly and yet, the Axis IV diagnoses were not what he said. The diagnoses output was what most patients are diagnosed with, but NOT this patient!!!!! ...

Too broke to see a doctor in several years I finally saw one today and got to witness the "benefits" of EMR. The new patient documents were scanned into the doctor's laptop. The software was not able to translate handwriting, so all that was a waste. Basically the doctor had to go over every question and missed many that did not scan. The only hands-on he did was to look in ears & throat. Everything else he was glued to the laptop trying to type in everything I s ...

Dictators (MDs, PAs, RNPs, etc.) who dictate so fast and so sloppily cannot possibly care about the welfare of their patients. If they did, they would want a clear and accurate record with no room for misunderstanding or errors. Doing the paperwork is part of the job. If you don't want to do it with reasonable clarity, then perhaps you just shouldn't be practicing at all. If I ever meet any of these in person I will tell them flat out how horrible they are and what a terr ...

Article on Kevin MD by Jordan Grumet. The doctors are serfs, working for the corporations, just like the MTs. ...

Have a good TSM, so I shouldn't complain too much. But getting sick and tired of comments about taking care of our patients, thanking us for quality care of patients, etc. I know she realizes we are all concerned about our paychecks right now as much as anything else. Not that we don't give a darn about quality, but we are after all working to try to make a living. Corporate is just shoving this quality crap down our throats every chance they get. I am sur ...

I would like to suggest that every unhappy MT at MQ jam the phone line(s) of Employee Assistance and share how the stress from working at MQ is affecting your health, your work, and your personal lives. If this is supposed to be a benefit for all employees, then make it work for you by calling, one by one, day by day, hour by hour, and then, quite possibly, you will see another benefit taken away from MTs (such as no-strings-attached QA) but at least you can get satisfa ...

I'm having trouble with line 5 of this PMH: 2. Fibromyalgia. 3. Hypertension. 4. Enlarged liver. 5. s/l lepulley 2001. 6. Left CTR 2002. 7. BTL 1992. It could be left something, but I can't think of anything, even shorthand, that would fit there. ...

I have absolutely no clue what this is supposed to be...please help!! "Check pre-biologic labs. The patient already has an s/l (eject sex re). Obtain a copy." I'm not sure if it's a type of x-ray or lab test...the patient has psoriatic arthritis, OA, and fibromyalgia, and is getting ready to have surgery to fix her cervical neck and to remove a cervical lymph node Any ideas? ...

Sounds like "disgrazias". Any ideas? Context: She was sent to Dr. So-and-so to evaluate for chronic lymphocytic leukemia or other blood disgrazias/malignancies. Any help is very much appreciated! :) ...

What 10.5 per visible line character might equal to all characters and spaces counted? Thanks. ...

In further ( s/l loose ideation) of the problem, it appears she has had chronic UTIs that require the use of Bactrim 4-6 times per year for several years now. ...

This occurred to me today and just thought I'd share. What if this were a supportive forum? No, no, I'm not talking about not complaining, etc., that's important to do, IMO. But, we are all in the same craft, so maybe we could cheer one another on! Even get to know one another. OMG, that would be awful! I was in a completely different industry a few years ago, and it was full of stress and difficulty, and we griped all the time, but in the end, we lifted one another up, vers ...

Chest x-ray shows no significant change compared to XX/XX/2011, persistent bilateral pleural effusions, cardiomegaly, *s/l "pass-you-by's for"* right worse than left opacities. Going to have to blank this one, as I need to turn it in, but would be interested to read any thoughts. Thanks in advance. ...

I know people are happy at their jobs and I applaud you for finding the right fit and hope it continues for you---I am asking all you happy MTs to post the name of the company you work for?!?!?!?! You are willing to share all other information about the company share the name with us---we all want to know which companies are good out there, all we usually hear about are the bad ones, no hesitation there to share the name for sure. ...

Today I had to go to a deposition at my attorney's office. There was a woman there who was a "voice-writer" to be present and record the meeting. She used a mask over her mouth and repeated into the mask everything that was said verbatim. We could not hear her. This went directly onto her computer screen which was connected and she said all she had to do now was edit the voice recognition report. I looked it up online and there is a lot of information about this field. I am thinking of cons ...

I previously worked for a MTSO whose main focus was on buying out every company possible. I had enough of the micromanagement and pay cuts, low work, no work, etc. so I just walked away after giving notice. I had been looking for work daily, applying, sending resumes with no luck. Then I saw at the local mall where many seasonal positions to work in the stores were available. I applied having no customer service skills, but I got the job. My foot is now in the door! I am hoping it will lead to a ...

Not for me I'm sick of MT work. But you guys that still love it,,what if you went to the local clinics or hospitals and started inquiring about who they use and what they pay..You can undercut them by a mile with no overhead... ...

just started work for this company. Thought I would pass it along, sounds like they have offices in several states. She is in IT, but I notice they have call center jobs, including one at-home job in Ohio. Thought it might be of help to someone. I don't know why I can't get the link to show up, anyway: http://www.startek.com/us-careers ...

But I find myself chronically angry. Today I've had nothing but crap dictators and every single report has had at least 1 blank in it. Nuance, c'mon, get a clue will you? Is it any wonder you're losing people and have to keep posting for new people? Bring back the good stuff from India and give them the crap dictators and let them see how they like it. OK, rant over. ...

Suggest they call MH back again for the umpteenth time...she's always willing to return again and again. If not, maybe her daughter. That's their answer to any problem in the past. Even if they can't stand her or her daughter... they usually resort to them in a pinch. Oh, but don't call her a coordinator, no, she's an account facilitator. They have more made-up titles for people. What a joke!!!! ...

I've muddled through a whole procession of unfamiliar accounts and dictators this morning til my head hurts. And now we get an e-mail stating (surprise, surprise!) we are really backed up and asking for OT for this weekend. Let me think about this....do I want to spend this weekend chained to this desk for pennies struggling through one lousy report after another to bail them out of the consequences of their wonderful new "Pod" idea? Ummm, let me think. No. Tha ...

How about when we all leave Nuance to find other employment, we make a little phone call to the hospital(s) and/or clinics we transcribed for and tell them what an awful company Nuance is. Maybe they will stop using Nuance for their transcription and one by one they will lose business. Seems like the only way to get back at these sneaky. ...

My company is in the process of being absorbed by Nuance. We have to test and interview but were told most of us would be hired by them. They said they would try to give us schedules/hours we have now (or would like), but I am wondering if they end up offering us horrible hours (like overnight) and we don't take it, if we would be inelligible for unemployment. Does anyone have any idea? ...

Why don't all of us who are tired of everything join forces and form our own company. We live all over the country, know how to do the work, know how to QA, know different platforms. Hundreds of us together could market our own vicinity and work together like a coop. We would all make the big bucks. It has to work, as we are the people who keep the large companies in business. Coops work with any other business, why not with this. What do you think ...

The auditor should determine what percentage of the dictation the physician got correct and then the MT should have at least 99.6% of that correct. I had a doc today say, "There was no palpation to palpation over the remaining joints." I left it, didn't even blank it, mainly because I could clearly hear it and knew they had mis-spoke but how am I supposed to know if they meant pain or tenderness or what? Most of my audio today was extremely lousy and I had left enough blan ...

Send your resume to every company out there, stating that you are looking for IC work. When you get an interview, demand more pay than the measly 8/4 cpl that they are trying to shove down our throats. Tell them that because you are an IC, you have self employment taxes, health care, etc. that comes out of your own pocket and it would not be worth it to work for what they are offering. Also, they are benefitting greatly by not having to pay WC insurance, health care, etc. Thank them for the ...
