Just had a 2109s report, guess what, 1.5 minutes of dictation. Nothing like having to sit here through all the rest of that time not getting paid. Idiot!
know the feeling only so well. That usually kills my line count for the day! nm - broke

Over half my reports today were doctors dictating old reports from June and July too with no ADT. Had to try and find the right ADT, no luck, then spend extra time putting in his dictated info. It was a terrible day. Grrrr
Has anyone gotten the swine flu shot, as in those working in hospitals or in home. They say it is on the rise again and I am debating on whether to get it. I work at home, so no risk from hospitals, but I do have kids in school to bring it home to me. They say the 30-somethings (me) get a VERY bad case of it and the kids are usually fine? So much info and so many decisions, makes you want to wear a mask on a day to day basis. ...
Went to the doctor's office this morning to get my tetanus shot updated because I fell the other day and cut myself and Dr. said my last tetanus shot was 10 years ago. When I told them I did not have any insurance that it would cost me $170.00 because they were required to charge an "administrative fee" (hospital-owned practice). I just about swallowed my tongue! Fortunately the lady checking me in suggested I go to the Health Department and I could get it m ...
Does anyone know anything about this? I see a very familiar name listed among the transcriptionists on a certain account that now belongs to Nuance through the acquisition a couple of years ago. ...
Does anyone know of a stable company and/or open position where a long-time, acute care/experienced MT could be an employee with benefits and make more than $12-13/hr? Prefer straight transcription over editing. I can wait several months as I am currently employed. I ...
for intracranial chemotherapy - s/l she is saying amaylia shot shunt - I saw other listings for ommaya shunt but sounds more like amaylia shot shunt?? Thanks ...
OK, here's the scoop. I am working on an older company-provided Dell running XP that's basically on the very last of its legs (got the blue screen of death this morning but was able to finally get to Windows and into my program). I talked with our IT guy today, and he said to get a new hard drive and have the old info transferred (at my expense, because of new company rules). I work on ChartScript.net and asked if that ran on Vista because I could then use my laptop, our only other com ...
As the old adage goes. The harder I work the behinder I get.... Can't win. I was working with a good pay period and then same ol same ol, NJA. And to top it off, I cannot ever get into QCare, it stays on a proverbial lock at the loading screen. So just shoot me..... At this point, I don't care anymore....

Too time consuming when searching for a doctor you don't know. Give me a break, Alt S for every attempt rather than just a march down the alphabet. I'm only willing to do it a couple times, whereas I would have probably found it with the old method. ...
Any companies that will let you give you work your own hours as long as you complete a set number of lines per given day? I'd love to be an IC again with my own hours, since I have kids that need to be driven around all day.Either that or a night job. I could use some company suggestions. I've worked for several and not happy right now. Thank you! ...
So many corrections and so much missing punctuation that I an excruciatingly sore already! I was barely able to move my hands last night because they hurt from so many corrections. Grrrrr ...
This makes me REALLY glad I am getting the hell out of health care!
These draconian measures are being implemented across the country. Most require that ALL employees -- even those who work off-site and have zero patient contact -- receive the toxic injection or they will lose their job.
Check out the comments. I was VERY heartened to see that the vast majority of them are by posters opposed to the mandate (several very educated MDs and RNs po ...
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 ...
ESL doc is giving diagnoses list and says "s/l Shot liver, improved." Or it could be "Shot's liver or Schatz liver or Shott's liver" etc. Sigh. I probably should know this, but I don't. Any help gratefully appreciated.
...
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 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. ...
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. ...
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! :) ...
