Grrrrrrrrr! This doctor is driving me nuts!!

When I am transcribing, I am hitting some key combination that is turning my type to all caps. It's not the caps lock or it would show it was on. Transcribing as fast as all of us do it is impossible to figure out what I am hitting to make this happen. Does anyone have any ideas??? So appreciative!!! :) ...

The comments seem extremely picky to me and almost harrassing. It seems I cannot do anything right. Really tired today and it's been a bad day overall and now this. just needed to vent. I have a feeling I have not heard the last from the QA lady that hovers over me all day. Thanks for listening. ...

Where did they get her? She has NEVER gotten an entry right on my time card! Every time we have had technical downtime, she has screwed it up; adding the wrong times, deleting my punches, and replacing them with something she apparently made up. I have e-mailed her specific times I worked, in a list format. All she had to do was make sure it matched. She can't even do that right! We went back and forth in e-mail 4 times, before I finally gave up and made ...

Seriously how do you mark me for not putting a comma in when I have a QA marker preceeding it..Obviously I missed a word, the dictator rots, sorry..So instead of adding all that extra crap in..If you had just stuck to what I put, I may have learned something..Instead, my mind is going in 90 directions and I marked it as read and moved on..Waste of my time. And when I put one through QA for a repeat word I feel I should know and just have never heard it or cant document it, then I NEVER see ...

And it wasnt just me. It affected several families. I just dont get it. ...

This physician, not a resident either, is SPELLING words like -- no joke -- chest, lungs, abdomen and with every date, telling me to put the slash marks in. Whatdehay does he think I'm getting paid for? I am supposed to know s-o-m-e-t-h-i-n-g !!!! oh my goodness. I just had to tell someone that understands. Thanks for listening. ...

I wish there was a program for MTs that would take "..um.." out of dictations. ...

I'll take terrible ESLs, 30-second reports - anything over NJA. Makes me crazy. I sit here, hands hovering above the keyboard, breath bated, just waiting for a job - any job. The transcription schools keep churning out grads, and those grads keep posting on these forums, asking who's hiring? where can they find work? who hired newbies? - but even veterans don't have work. How am I supposed to pay my mortgage? ...

I never do this. I always figure the anonyances are part of the job, but this is making me CRAZY!!! I have a NP who dictates 15-20 min dictations and really only should be about 5 mins. I have to speed her up like crazy. Her favorite thing is the dictate at the busiest station around and pauses FOREVER because she's sooooo nosy and has to make sure she listens to everyone elses conversations around her. Seriously? Are we 13 yrs old and in junior high now??? ...

I have a doctor who says this all the time: Three views bilateral foot were obtained. I always want to change it to bilateral feet. Which is right foot or feet? ...

This patient is from Spain here in the US for vacation. The doctor is stating all these medications the patient is on in Spain, which I cannot verify anywhere. I have googled etc. Any ideas of a website that lists medications in Spain before I totally pull my hair out? TIA. ...

This pediatric transcription is making me nuts. I need all the help I can get please. "Down of the series was negative. Laboratory is including pneumonia 37, SOSO 8 level of 2 milligrams per deciliter" Please help me! ...

How's this? (immune-mediated secondary MEMBRANIZIA?? ...

This is the actual sentence the doc dictated. I listened to it 3 times. "There was initially significant tachycardia where her beta blocker was resumed, although this had given her bradyarrhythmias and sinus block in the past, but ultimately, with regulization, her potassium and magnesium levels, and because of recurrent hypotension her beta blockers were discontinued and her rhythm remained stable." HUH??????? ...

Orthopedic foot examination....discussing radiographic findings and he is clearly stating anciopathic/enciopathic....have searched and only gotten a result of angiopathic, which is not what he is saying. Am I having a complete mental block or are my ears decieving me?? Complete phrase states: "Radiograph shows a Haglund deformity and just the subtle start of some anciopathic changes at the insertion of the Achilles tendon." ...

A national work stoppage of 2 days would be sufficient to arrest the downward spiral and bring MTSOs to a bargaining position. So, why hasn't it happened? I guarantee you that none of the horrible consequences that you might believe would happen would occur. ...

I have this one doctor that I get all the time who will say - The patient uh you know uh has you know.. Really? No, I don't know what the patient has. I'm not the doctor seeing him. ...

Soooo busy, work coming out of proverbial ears, a family crisis and health problems, but plenty of time to post, post, post, transcription is not dead! making money hand over fist! can't find qualified MTs! can't even reply to emails from MTs! no time to give you any specifics! I definitely need a break from this board. ...

She says things like "He currently has a G-tube of which medications will be administered." Or "...secondary to UTI, Foley catheter associated, of which this has now been removed. " Or "this is a chronic problem of which he had a G-tube inserted in October" She's making me nuts tonight. These examples are all from one report, too. I guess if that's the worst thing I have to deal with tonight, tonight is still pretty good, but I just wan ...

all through me when someone is dictating and they just start laughing. It is like shut up and speak clearly! ...

"...no evidency of malignancy".. and she says it EVERY TIME!!!! grrrrr!! Sorry, I know there are bigger problems in life, but this is grating on my nerves more than usual today. Must be pre-holiday stress :) ...

Every other word is um, ahhh. Then it's next paragraph, next paragrah, next paragraph. Then it's period, uh period, uh period. Then he repeats next paragraph and period several more times. Between and his other yucky habits, I really wish they would ban him from dictating. ...

It's just not fair that a couple of people get almost 100% of OP notes throughout the day and I get 2 or 3 total, and those are only because they are miscoded as discharge summaries! What do I have to do to become a "favorite?" Gee, why can't I be loved by my MTSO like that? ...

20 years ago when the DRG's hit the hospitals, one was complaing to the other... "they treat doctors like a bunch of old dogs now". Well, that's how MTs are being treated now. Why on God's green earth do the MT services require all MT's to work at least one weekend day every week (Friday's and Monday's don't count). Every ad I see on the Job Seeker board requires weekends. Are they sadistic or something. Why do we put u ...

record. That's a new one on me. I work at home and no driving is involved, so why would they care? It's bad enough companies routinely check credit scores, now this. More and more it feels an invasion of privacy, and if I am using my own equipment in my own home, why would anyone care if my credit sucks or if I am a horrific drive? Oh well ... ...

The patient presents today for followup on her right first MTP. should it be... metatarsophalangeal and the word joint after it or can it just be metarsophalangeal? tia. ...

Grrrrrrrrr! This doctor is driving me nuts!! - Kill me now! Please!

I hear ya - Loud N Clear - Nan
