Sick and tired of it - anony
Posted: Apr 16, 2015
90% or more of my reports today have been pure &*%$. Sound quality is crap. I am so sick of tired being slowed down by trying to listen to these inept, noncaring dictators. OPEN YOUR MOUTH and speak clealy. Get the sound quality better.
Oh wait, I just woke up and smelled the coffee. that is NEVER going to happen.
ARGH!!!!!!
Is it too much to ask for 1 good day?
My wish - anony
[ In Reply To ..]Ever since we went to the POD system, I get everything but my primary. So fed up. Give me back my primary.
REALLY sick and tired of the audio. - dnr
[ In Reply To ..]I repeatedly report the bad audio for a particular physician. My last note was somewhat on the nasty side.
I am sick of this dictator's bad audio sucking my lph down the toilet. I have already had 1 warning about my line count.
audio - mtanon
[ In Reply To ..]This is where you guys have to really fight it now because it is just NOT RIGHT that you are punished on this end for bad quality from a doctor who should be told he has a problem with his dictation. This MTSO does nothing to tell the account that specifically there is a problem with a doctor. They take all the blame and put it on the MT. I used to work here and it sucked big time. Six months was all I could take before I up and quit one day.
I came within minutes of just shutting my computer - down and quitting
[ In Reply To ..]I am SO sick of this..Wonder what would happen, since mmodal is not going to help us.. if...we started just dropping little notes to the doctors themselves via the US postal service. Very nice letters explaining how if they spoke more clearly, we would make a living wage, AND their work would come back to them 100% better. I would bet my bottom dollor the doctors have NO clue how much we make, because Mmodal makes more off our work than we do, and how their horrid dictations slow us down and actually cost us money..Doctors are not arrogant uncaring idiots as mmodal makes them out to be when we complain. They are really just uninformed. Guarantee you every time we complain about a horrid dictator and mmodal says I'll inform so and so, the email just gets deleted and no one even tells the doctor. They simply reply "Ill let them know but you know doctors"
When I told my doctor what I do for a living - sm
[ In Reply To ..]and how difficult it is to understand the doctors mumbling, whispering, talking 90 miles an hour, etc., he said, you know I'm guilty of that because I guess I never really thought about a person on the other end of it having to listen to it. I guess he thought some machine magically spits it out to the chart in perfect condition.
After that, when I went back in for another visit, he said I think about you having to listen to me every time I dictate now :)

Tired Of It Yet?

Almost everything I read on this board expresses a common thread of disgust with the Q. If you really hate that the work is going to India, if you really hate that MedQuist is a greedy heartless monster, and if you really despise what is happening to our medical records because of this company, why keep helping it out by staying and helping them make more money by paying slave wages? I see these words and phrases: unethical, greedy, corrupt, lower and lower wages, wor ...
Are We Tired Enough Of ISR?

Are you as tired as I am of making dumb little corrections in the ISR system? This morning, I am spending all my time “uncapitalizing” regular words in the middle of sentences. Where does it come up with the underline in the middle of laboratory values (1._4). It adds a colon after dates and this morning the abbreviation, MD, is after some of the headings. There are no paragraphs. I delete numbers in a list because they are never right and it is easier than going back and changing the ...

I do not like working this late. But, this is generally when the work is available and I understand that it is my best chance of getting work. Not very many people on my account on a Monday night. I see 23 reports, op notes, that are easy lines, require an insert, and right when I am about to begin to be able to download them, all of them are gone. This happens all the freakin time. Somebody had to pull and assign them for them to disappear in a chunk like that.&nbs ...

Testing And Tired :(
Nov 29, 2009
It is getting very hard to even find the energy to test anymore. I have tested till I am blue in the face and dont understand why it is so hard to get a job in this profession. I graduated top of my class with a 3.98 and you would think I would have had a job by now. I did not think it would be this hard to land a good job but wow this really is a hard profession to get started in. I seem to do well on the test and dictations but they always send me emails telling me they have already filled th ...

Tired Of Testing

Does anybody know of MTSOs that don't require transcription testing? I'm so tired of spending time testing only to be offered very low cpl in my opinion. I've been an MT for 20+ years and am trying to find a part-time job. However, all this testing is really starting to wear me down. Aren't there any MTSOs out there that just call references anymore? I'm an IC and have lots of references and regularly do fill-in ...
