help!!!! dictator wants you to cancel - Tab
Posted: Dec 03, 2009
What do you do if you are typing on a document for 780 seconds and the dictator at the very end tells you to cancel this and erase everything because she already dictated it? In all my years I was lucky enough not to get this until now. I was thinking about sending it in anyway because I just spent all this time on it!!!!
I would send it - but thats me
[ In Reply To ..]I would also email the info of the job to my CMM, and anyone else I could think of. You could even place a maker in the job describing the problem. I would not delete it.
canceled report - send it!
[ In Reply To ..]I would send the report with a QA/QC note that the dictator canceled the report. You typed it. You should get paid for it.
Check your CP - Birdylove
[ In Reply To ..]All of my CPs state that you are supposed to skip 2 lines and then type "canceled by dictator" at the bottom of the report and upload.
Thanks a lot!!! - Tab
[ In Reply To ..]My CPs stink!!! They barely have any info in them, although that might be a good thing at times. Thanks for the replies guys! I would be darned if I would have to erase all that work!
Don't you dare scrap the report!! - shipwrecked
[ In Reply To ..]Every account has a client profile that will tell you how to handle addendums, cancelled reports, etc. For my account, I double space and type "CANCELLED" and leave a QA note also saying "CANCELLED." QA seems to be picky that the word is in all caps.
Uh..No friggin way do I cancel that report. At the end put a QA - marker and indicate Report Cancelled per doc. NM

I'm the one who walked last week. Boy do I feel better too !! My stress level has decreased to near zero. I have 2 interviews this week.

Get Away From Dictator
Dec 28, 2009
Does anybody know how long a report stays in our specific work pool? I've done a break on a report hoping to get rid of it. But it keeps showing back up. I'm trying to make up some sick time, but I just can't understand this garble and have already spent way too much time trying to decipher it. I've been checking on and off for the last 30 minutes and it keeps showing back up. Help!!!! ...

I Clearly Hear The Dictator Say
Jan 26, 2010
Coumadin 30 mg per day. Now, I want to make sure I'm not dreaming here, but that is completely incorrect, right? Maybe I'm having a brain lapse (been an MT for 20 years) but I want to make sure my thinking is correct that this dosage would probably be lethal? I'm going to leave a blank for the dosage, but I just wanted to double check with my MT friends. I have listened to it many times, and she is positively saying "30 mg per day." TIA!! ...
Help With Labs/ESL Dictator
Mar 01, 2010
This is what it sounds like. "His WBC 11.48, and his 12.4 and 37.0 PT/PTT were normal." It seems like "PT/PTT were normal." Should be a sentence on its own, but then I'm not sure what the 12.4 and 37.0 lab values would be for. Grr... Any help would be greatly appreciated! ...

Jerk Dictator

ESL dictator with very thick accent states: ...for antibiotic management. NOT with antibiotic management. Please learn to transcribe correctly. Although it wasn't me who made the mistake, it was all I could do to not put in the QA note: A female is SHE and male is HE and it is vomit not WOMIT, please learn to dictate correctly. I so wish it was okay to put QA notes to the dictators. ...

I know this is petty, but for some reason, it grates on my nerves to hear: blah, blah Period space space. Or Colon space space enter. I mean, please, are we considered that incompentent? but on the other end of the spectrum we have those that don't say any punctuation, which is absolutely fine, but a pause would be nice. It's not necessary to dictate a whole report in one breath. ...

Sleepy Dictator
Mar 26, 2011
Just need to vent about my ESL doc who decided at 11 last night he needed to dictate all of his H&Ps for the week. He's not very good at his best but his yawning is giving me tons of blanks and it drives me crazy not being able to get it, so have to listen 20 times to try to get one extra word, which of course takes much longer than his 5 minutes of dictation should require! Really wish he would pick a weekday to talk since I only do weekends for this hospital! ...

Mumbly dictator First he clearly dictates a drop-fem test of which I am dumbfounded. As well as on an imaging report post total hip arthroplasty he dictated what sounds like he is stating.."

Question About Bad Dictator And How To Fix
Mar 04, 2012
Just want to preface this before anything..I am not new at this by any stretch of the imagination, have heard pretty much all of it..I have had this crappy dictator all day..My theory on them is leave the freaking blanks and bypass QA so they will learn to talk like a human being..Most of the time I send things through QA they dont find the blanks anyway...And we know the company will NEVER say yo doc, speak correctly..This is an English speaking doc who just does not enunciate so there is no ex ...

words in her native language (Chinese) and I'm getting a string of her reports (of course)--- and I know it's going to push me over the 10% QC limit. She will dictate like this (and she does it AT LEAST 5-6 times per report: The patient is in atrial eh, eh, eh (insert chinese word here--probably means flutter but it sounds something like "me-ah-plee." I think she just can't think of the English word so she says it in Chinese, always preceeded by "eh, eh, eh." &nb ...
Oh How I Want To STRANGLE This Dictator...
Jan 20, 2015
spell the name of a doctor whose name is something like "Dr. Lhaksuduaramamaan" - He just says it real fast and thinks whoever is transcribing the report will just automatically know how to spell that!!! Not to mention he has a Chinese accent --THAT doesn't help either. So he can't go ahead and maybe spell that out? To top it off, he says this name 3 different times in the report, making me have to leave THREE blanks, which I now have to pend? I was miracu ...
Dictator Audit
Feb 04, 2015
Why aren't the dictators audited and scored for their poor dictation? We can take points off for background noise, use of speaker phone, use of cell phone, static, chewing, yawning, side conversations, changing their mind, not pronouncing numbers correctly and so on. Quite a few dictators would be on Performance Management CONSTANTLY and then would no longer be allowed to dictate until they straightened up and did it right. One could only wish! ...
