always wondered if some doctors are really coherent during dictation

I think of thousands (I hope) MTs coast to coast across the country working at home under various circumstances, and I try to picture this in my head. I live in Tennessee and I have my office set up where I am facing a window. The window is open and there is a nice breeze, I'm watching the hummingbirds at the feeder, and across the road in the woods there is a mother deer and two little spotted babies. Would anyone care to share where you live and what your office setup is ...

I was contacted by an MQ recruiter saying she wanted to schedule an interview for me at a certain time on a day I was gone all day. I emailed her and told her I was so sorry, but had just now seen the email. I have not heard from her again and this was last Monday. Is this the way MQ does things always? ...

what is the going rate for most MT jobs per minute of dictation? Help! ...

On this posting only 1 was found a while ago and the transcriptionist said it was 2 hours away and she needed the job badly, but no questions were answered and she would have to drive 2 hours away tao be trained. The pay was very low and many difficulty factors. Wondered if over the years, anytihing has changed. This is just a one-owner business and not a big national. ...

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 ...

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 have heard Indiana Jones, however. ...

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. ...

Should have their right to dictate revoked. What a looong day ...

Physician dictates, "Patient underwent a s/l urectral stent. Any ideas anyone? Thank you. ...

How do you charge your physician for putting information into EMR? Do you charge per patient? per hour? What is a fair price? ...

How do you get your dictation? ...

I think it is safe to say that we can expect even worse sound quality now that the doctors are using a dictation app. I can say I have already noticed this on my accounts. Remember when doctors were encouraged not to dictate on their cell phone? Now it is being encouraged! Hard to believe MM cares about quality.... ...

OK just putting a little lightness in the air, as I NEED IT. Does BL, and you will know who I am talking about perhaps, have a hairball problem? LOL! ...

Dear Doctor/Physician/Dictator Can you please dictate the report as if it was YOUR family member that the report is about? ...

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. ...

Has anyone worked with this company before, not seen much posted for them, is that good or bad? ...

I can't find a dang thing in the archives about this company. HELP. Thanks everyone. ...

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! :) ...

I was an IC for TTD for about 6 months. Has anyone gotten their W2 from them yet? (the one in California). Thanks! ...

Do you have to work a month before getting your first check at Transcription Doctors? How frequently do they pay? Do they offer direct deposit? Thanks ...

In the salutation would it be Dear Dr. Smith and Dr. Jones? Or would it be Dear Doctors Smith and Jones? ...

that they are dictating for ASR and how to do it, punctuation and all. They need to take some responsibility for this. If they would dictate for ASR, ASR output would likely be better. I base this on the doctors who do dictate everything, including punctuation and the fact the output is good for this doctors. Although, these doctors do tend to speak in a more understandable manner. I spend too much time stopping to punctuate, and I shouldn't need to. ...

PLEASE BE ADVISED---THIS ACCOUNT PROMISES WORK, BUT RUNS OUT OF IT VERY FAST. THEY ONLY WILL LET YOU WORK ON ONE ACCOUNT AT A TIME UNTIL YOU ARE RELEASED. YOU WILL MAKE NO MONEY!!!! ...
