the ones that say thank you for this dictation at the end and wish you a nice day and those are usually the ones that are the BEST dictators
The opposite - SM

One time I had a dictation with more than 30 blanks because she mumbled so much, and at the end, clear as day, she said something like thank you and have a nice day. I just wanted to slap her! So not always the case, but usually.
Yes, I agree they do exist - done

The nice ones who actually TRY and who say "please go back" and "thank you." So refreshing. I actually had one guy say, "You all do such a good job..." Very nice. If a job comes up with no ADT or just 77777777, you can tell it's gonna be a rough ride. The ones who race through, give no thank you, and slam the phone down? Well, I just feel sorry for them. Like I used to tell my child: If someone is being mean or a jerk, you can bet they are not a happy person. So there's my peace of mind.
They USED to train the residents in dictation. - anon

But surely it does not appear so in the foreign countries. Guess us MTs should now learn their languages...that's next.

Wanna Know Who Thought Up VBC? Feb 16, 2010Something smacks of anti-trust here.
Excerpt:
It’s been a little more than two years since the AHIMA and the Medical Transcription Industry Association (MTIA) recommended the visual black character (VBC) method be used as the standard unit of measure for medical transcription. Based on research from the Joint Task Force on Standards Development, the announcement came in the form of a white paper that made quite a splash. Defining a VBC as a “character that can be seen with the nake ...
Wanna Hurt Them Mar 04, 2010It started with forcing us to do ASR, with a 20% reduction in pay, then upped the reduction to 40%.
They shove TeamWork down our throats - not for Our benefit, but to make life easier for the CCMs.

Just Wanna Work Feb 28, 2011Been sick all weekend. Have a sinus infection that hurts when I touch the side of my face and my eye is all scratchy and can't hardly see. Didn't want to get up this morning, but did, got ready, squirted saline in my eye so I could see fairly well for a while, sat down and NO JOBS AVAILABLE.

Type What I Wanna Say Jun 04, 2015I would absolutely love to be able to leave a QA note on every report where the dictator is being a true imbecile. QA note "dictator smacking candy, unable to clarify." QA note "dictator calling from cell phone with bratty kids screaming in the background." QA note "dictator carrying on conversation with several others while dictating, unable to clarify what is or is not supposed to be in report." QA note "dictator a complete idiot, mumbling the whole time, spelling every ...
Anybody Wanna Hear My Story About VR? Apr 29, 2010I am a small MTSO. I had a pretty big hospital account that went to ES VR 2 years ago. The fallout for the hospital has been rather profound. They offered me 16 for straight and 8 for VR. I thought at the time that I could live with that if VR made MTs faster and they could earn virtually the same as for straight typing. Well, that didn't turn out and my MTs ran like scalded dogs! I have since learned through grapevine that they are in real big trouble. The remaining few hospital MTs are ed ...

How Will YOU Dictate? Feb 03, 2010I see a lot of MTs returning to school and often in the medical profession.

Just wondering. ...

Where Do Doctors Dictate? Oct 13, 2011Ok, I'm curious, but can doctos do their dictations anywhere?
A lot of times, I hear a bunch of doctors in like some sort of dictation room. You can hear other doctors doing dications. I just picture a bunch of people in white coats sitting at a desk talking into a phone. lol.
Other times it sounds like they're in an emergency room while an emergency is going on. People are asking for things, things are clanging around.
Sometimes it sounds like they're in their own home. Had an ...
Is It Just Me Or Is This The New Way To Dictate Dates? May 16, 2013More and more frequently, I am getting dictators who say, "the patient underwent the procedure IN 04/11/12" or "the patient underwent the procedure ON April 2012." It's just a little thing that's kind of annoying because you have to change the IN to ON and vice versa, but it's happening so often, I'm wondering if that's now an acceptable way to say it and I'm just not in the know. Anyone else get this? ...
Learning To Dictate The RIGHT WAY? Jun 04, 2013I am an experienced nurse practitioner with seven years of experience.

But from the results of my transcriptions, I could use some help from medical transcriptionists on how to dictate the RIGHT WAY.
Of course, I was never taught how to dictate. I was taught how to use the telephone to dictate, but I was never taught the right way to dictate clearly ...
Did You Ever Stop To Think How Much Better You Could Dictate Dec 15, 2013than some of these idiots who you have to muddle through on day after day after day ad nauseum?

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 ...

Maybe If You Didnt Eat And Dictate Oct 14, 2014#1 I would be able to understand you. And BTW, chewing like a cow is not attractive at all. And #2, you wouldn't choke on your food. And since you did choke through a word or 2, it would be nice if you re-dictated that because I have no idea what cough, cough, cough is supposed to be. I HATE this dictator, why does the company not tell her how to talk, I'm done complaining since it gets me nowhere.. ...
Please Tell These Doctors How To Dictate Feb 01, 2015So tired of going in an out of the ADT screen, choosing just patient because they don't dictate a day until part way through the dictation, or the referring physician. I honestly think, if someone told them it would make our lives easier they would comply..And I know this is dreaming, but dictate the CCs at the beginning of the report so it is easier to find the names and spell them correctly when you dictate them throughout the report. And by all means at the end don't say please cc ...

Physician Do Not Dictate List Mar 15, 2010Since we have a (lengthy) Do Not Use list, I think the doctors should be versed in proper dictating form with a Do Not Dictate list to include "next", "next number", "new line", "skip line", "and", and "uh, uh, uh" and all those other little irritating words that ASR loves! Charge them 3 cents MORE per line of dictation if they can't maintain 98% with no blanks sent back to them!!!!!!!! ...
