Stop yawning - tiredmt

She started out the dictation yawning and apologized for it the first time but then went on to do it 3 or 4 more times. It's a good thing I'm near the end of my night because now I'm yawning like crazy. ...

This ANP who is dictating can't make up her mind what she wants to say and constantly corrects herself and then keeps yawning, but doesn't stop the recording or even stop speaking while she's yawning. It's annoying me PLUS it's making me sleepy now myself. More coffee, please!!!! ...

I very seldom vent or complain, but it has just got to me today. This surgeon does such good dictation, EXCEPT when he yawns and continues to dictate. How in the world does he think we can understand him when he does this. It is not a little yawn either. It almost makes me shutter when he does it. I am sorry, I just had to finally vent after listening to him for 10 years. ...

Had to leave a blank due to yawn (the doc, not me, although this can be a snooze fest at times). I was hoping to fill in the blank later on when I got to the assessment. Darn if the doc didn't yawn again over the same thing. What are the chances of that? Oh, well. ...

do they really think they can be understood when they dictate while they're yawning?! I did a dictation last week where the dictator yawned about 5 long ones and I couldn't get most of what they were saying...and here I have her again today and she's doing the same thing! Yeesh! At least quit talking!!! :) ...

Just need a breather. Or IV tranquilizers. In the middle of a 25-minute dictation by a sleepy, yawning, slurring, ESL - we're not talking an endoscopy or hernia repair, it's a brain surgery, and I'll be darned if I can understand a word. 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 ...

The conference calls are over, the paperwork will soon be sent in, and rumors have been put to rest, at least I think they have been. I am encouraged because D seems to be more at the helm than I thought she was going to be. She answered a question yesterday which made things more clear about the rate cut. I said a long time ago that 10 or 11 cpl was not going to fly forever. You charge only what the market can bear, and in this economy it cannot handle those rates. ...

MQ has made big changes to my primary account. Now things are all messed up and because of it, we have to re-enter redundant information in the ADT screen. For example, it says ADT Attending and ADT Admitting with the doc's names. Those aren't carrying over to the report now, for some reason, so we have to re-enter those docs names in the additional ADT field under attending and admitting. Also, all of the reference repository stuff is gone. It now says th ...

assigning me the garbage work just because you "think" I can do it. Had to vent, really sick of it! Between the ESLs and the stuff where people say things that do not make sense I am really getting fed up! Sorry, had to vent. I know you read this and I know you know who is this. ...

No one is going to do it for us. There is wage theft, minimum wage, changing of timecards, disrespect for our knowledge, ridiculous working conditions, bad management, and no communication. MTs have been left completely out of the conversation, and they are the MT in MTSO. How bizarre is that? I think everyone should just walk away from their keyboards. We won't know what the result of an action like that will be until we take it, and hold a positive intent on beha ...

I really hope this doesn't get redirected. I meant to put it on the Main Board. I want to send out a request for more VR and dictation funnies. MTStars has gotten so depressing lately, and I could really use some laughs. ...

Does anyone use Start-Stop? If so, do you like it? Cathy ...

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 ...

I have never posted or replied to anything on MTstars.com, about any company in my 30 years in this field and have worked for a few BIG companies in the past (who were never this bad, not even Medquist) and with my own experiences I can say Nuance should be rated as a 10 as the worst company to work for (10 as worst). If you are considering Nuance, do not waste your time or most importantly, your self-respect. ...

It makes me strain to hear you and is exhausting. Cut it out, Dictators. ...

Last night I did two fairly long duplex studies where the doctor says "use my standard" with a lot of "move this, take that out, insert this..." Not difficult, but time consuming. When I went in to look at my line count after my shift, I got a total of 20 lines for the two reports, or 16.48 cents! What gives with this? Did I miss the memo, or did they just not tell us? Next week they'll be asking us to pay them when we actually get work. :o( ...

I agree with that wholeheartedly. But unions CAN force fair compensation for the skill and experience with the new technology. I have never understood the concept that MTs should be paid half of what they normally get paid for straight typing when doing VR editing. When doctors learned how to use da Vinci, endoscopic procedures, etc., did they get paid less because their new equipment helped them to be more proficient. Do doctors get paid less for EMR because a lot of ti ...

if you were me, a 34-year-old single mother, would you go back to school to finish your LPN degree (one year left) or finish your HIT degree (one year left also) and become an RHIT? Or maybe do both? ...

I was hired last December. I could have sworn the recruiter said "7 paid holidays" and 25% pay increase (1 cpl increase - big friggin whoop) for working a holiday. ...

Is there is book/website/company that offers information on how to become an IC transcriptionist, making a contract with client, how to handle accounting and/or legal issues, choosing dictating software etc? I'm considering it and do not know where to begin? ...

Looks like Nuance is out looking for legal troubles. CEO, Paul Ricci tried to buy some friends with $5 mil apiece. But it ended in a lawsuit. Guess some people are seeing something besides dollar signs. <shakes head> See link http://www.bizjournals.com/boston/news/2011/09/07/lawsuit-nuance-tried-to-bribe-rival.html ...

Has anyone used Start-Stop Transcription and how do you like it? ...

Okay, I'm about to get irritated with M*Modal. Being laid off in Sept. due to M*Modal getting our accounts. I think most of you have followed my story here lately so you know the scoop. Anyway, none of us are going to apply with MM, but MM will no take no for an answer! They have asked us at least on 5 different occasions to test with them! Each time they say hurry, hurry so you can reserve your spot! I cannot help but think of graveyard plot when they say that. ...

I decided to look into the benefits of the Trade Act which apparently includes only some states but which MQ has been qualified for. I'm not yet unemployed but need to at least feel prepared. I live in California so was given the name and number of the person in charge in my part of the state. I also picked the brains of the One-Stop personnel about career changes. They are a WEALTH of information, including 2 excellent websites: www.edd.ca.gov www.onlin ...

I got on my appointed schedule and DQS is slowwwwwwwww, waited 30 mins for one job to finally download, then it stopped and now in continual upload.....EEEEEEE. This is ridiculous. And I for one have heard nothing on my MQMail about this new SS time from my CCM or corporate. SA3.... ...

I dropped the insurance, but they are still taking my portion out of this check for 6/3. I am assuming we pay in arrears then, so I should still have the insurance deducted on the next check as well? I was really hoping that for that extra money this time! Thanks. ...

Last night a friend stopped over and when she went to insert her jump drive into the USB port on front of the tower it did nothing. I have 2 of them and same thing, did nothing. It should have brought up her files. Maybe that is why whenever I try wireless keyboard and mouse it does not seem to work either and have had to return them. Does anybody know how to fix and or replace and how much it costs? Thanks for any information. ...
