Please!!!! Can you idiots learn to speak the language???

How I am supposed to respect an institution whose QAer: * Doesn't know that the correct plural of addenum is addenda, not "addendums" * Thinks that "PICC line" is correct, when it is in fact redundant since the final C in PICC stands for catheter. I could go on and on, but you get the drift. The person doing the QA on MTs frequently doesn't even have the knowledge to be in that position and flags things "incorrect" when in fact they are CORRECT; they are just too i ...

call themselves physicians had to listen to each other's dictation and try to transcribe it. I have had just about nothing since 6 a.m. but ESL and/or Americans who are inconsiderate and have no business calling themselves doctors. Just needed to vent. Mornings like this make working cleaning toilets look pretty good!!! ...

Just got an e-mail today that we have to learn new accounts with new account specifics, in addition to working on our present account. They are sending our present account to India, but still keeping some of it. I don't know which would be easier - volunteering for a new account or learning DEP. I was told that if we start to type on DEP, they will have to send us a new computer with new programs, because we can't have Cornerstone and DEP on the same computer (probably). I did a ...

Okay..... anyone else having trouble with ASR translating the English language tonight? For the most part I have pretty good dictators, but for some reason ASR is having trouble recognizing the English language tonight... I (or anyone for that matter) should not have this much editing on clearly speaking English dictators!!!!! BUT, on the flip side of that rant.... ASR did actually recognize gabepentin and Ativan in the same document... I feel like Alice in W ...

My son is interested in doing translation from Russian to English, or vice versa, from home. He still has one semester to finish in college, but is fluent. I know the medical field but not this one. Is anyone familiar with legitimate websites for this type of work? There is just too much out there to sort out, and I don't know the critique sites that would be helpful. I appreciate any information you can give. Thanks! ...

PA reports that the patient's son-in-law give history because he is a Bayez (she spells it) as the patient does not speak English. Can't find this anywhere. Thanks. ...

I graduated as a medical transcription, but after some confusion, I found out I'm really a "Medical Language Specialist"? Right? Is there a difference? I know about Medical Language Editors, but this is a new one on me. Is that the key to job searching? ...

Once facilities start using VR/SR or having a physician use Dragon/canned reports, they should realize that as long as a report is "medically correct" (i.e., the correct spelling of a medical word) that is as good as the report should be. Does anybody really think Dr. Jones is going to make a complete coherent sentence as he is dictating; or, Dr. Shaleplcakeeoa (made up name) is going to make a sentence that makes sense in English versus his own interpretation of the English language? ...

I don't think anyone changed anybody else's mind on anything, but it was a good conversation, and a friendly one. I enjoyed it. It made me think. Everybody had some good points. ...

For the last several weeks I have been sending reports for a particular MD to QA with lots of blanks. No problems with other MDs or PAs, just that one. Found out a couple of days ago that I'm not the only one sending lots of blanks back for the same MD. Finally got a couple of my QAs back and there was a notation that the facility is working with this MD to take English classes because the blanks have been words/phrases from the native language. Seriously?!?! I ...

I have noticed, when interviewing for certain companies, some obvious spelling and grammatical mistakes in the emails I receive from them. While these companies strive for perfection in accuracy (which includes spelling words right and marking possession with an apostrophe, mind you), sometimes it looks like their emails have been written by ESL employees. It's weird that after speaking with some of these people, their writing skills don't match their speaking skills. Maybe I'm j ...

This one particular account I absolutely despise. The dictators whisper. Even with the volume turned all the way UP, it is a struggle to hear them. Have reported this too many to count times with nothing being changed. What a bunch of garbage. This job just keeps on giving. ...

It all started approximately a month ago with a note from CCM saying she was going on vacation. Not a word from her since then. Letter from corporate saying I had a new CCM. Wrote that person and got a reply that she would like to help me but I wasn't hers! Been well over two weeks since any word from QATL. I was on lockdown, now I'm not. I'm still on the same old accounts for the most part, with the same old CCM listed, but nobody seems to know it. LOL Anyo ...

Has anyone heard of or worked for Speak Write? ...

I just put some things together that are enlightening. MQ/Spheris has 12,000 MT's in the U.S., not counting those overseas. Transcend has 5,000 MT's in the U.S. and another 1500 in India. Webmedx has 1200 MT's. KeyStrokes has 600 MT's. TT has 200 MT's. Softscript has 200 MTs. NEMT has 200 MT's. Transolutions, or whatever they are called now, has 300 MT's. Medware, again not sure what their new name is, has 3 ...

How can we edit/transcribe if the volume is highest on the computer, ear phone amplifiers are on, and we STILL CANNOT HEAR! If it comes straight typing and ASR cannot pick it up, why in heaven's earth does the doctor think I CAN HEAR. I cannot! Are these docs being passive aggressive... Oh they don't realize?! That is just MEAN, CRUEL. Forget that I have to make a living wage, but think about just plain RESPECT. This vent brought to you by me getting too ...

There are a couple of dictators whose grammar, pronunciation, and enunciation is so poor, you wonder if they actually need a translator in order to speak to their English-speaking patients. A translator that can translate poor English. That translator would be bilingual, that is, English-speaking and poor-English-speaking. Yes, it seems "poor English" is also a language of its own that only those who speak it can understand. ...

The low volume of the dictations even on 100% is driving me nuts! I shouldn't have to strain to hear what you are saying. ...

I mean seriously this catering to their stupidy is starting to get old. Granted they aren't major errors. But, my theory is if they cannot give me the courtesy of even remotely completing a sentence, much less a paragraph here lately, I am sending it through. I know I can look at the repository and figure most of the stuff out, but that is a guess at best and not a chance I am willing to take with patient care. Sick of it!!! Unfortunately, my main offenders are 100% QA accounts so QA f ...

dictate in the noisiest areas. ...

I'm trying to get an answer from my CCM regarding foreign doctor's dictation and this 5% QA submission. I type for two separate teaching hospitals and are constantly getting new foreign doctors, 3/4s of which cannot even speak English. I won't matter if I got copies of every single report they dictate, there would be no way not to send these reports to QA....are we getting any kind of special consideration towards our QA submissions for these doctors? My CCM I don't think has ...

Can anyone tell me if there is some sort of formula for pricing out the finall editing of a DragonSpeak report? I am assuming that it would be much less than if it were priced for typing the entire file. thanks, bill ...

They expect us to understand their Vietnamese, Chinese, Arabic, Indian, Filipino, Hispanic accents when they can't even put a simple English sentence together! The hospitalists are the worst. I think they hire them right off the boat from their overseas countries and put them to work in the hospitals-- probably as cheap as they can get them, and then put them on VR. My MTSO increased their line requirements for this year and with over 30 years' experience, I struggle ...

About half of the dictators from my new account are Indian, most of them mumblers, so I'm going crazy. They can barely speak English. Wondering why there are so many Indian dictators here? ...

So I finally decided to submit a remedy ticket about the months coming through not capitalized (have you all noticed this?). I explained that when a complete date is dictated it seems to do fine, but if the month is just used in a sentence, such as "in September" they are not capatlized. When is a month not supposed to be capitalized? These used to be correct but for many months now they haven not been. So I get a call from "Phil" who wants me to explain the problem. He doesn't ...

to be a legal transcriptionist? Seeing more and more ads for this. ...

VP always sticks "lower" onto the abdomen exam. Have to delete it from abdomen and add it to the PE subheading "Lower Extremities." There is no other way to edit it, everybody has to edit it this way. But SR keeps getting it wrong. We all need to have a couple of these examples ready for when Phil the IT guy says it is US editing wrong that causes the program not to learn. Or if you abbreviation says it is everyone with different editing styles causing the VR fiasco. ...

Please!!!! Can you idiots learn to speak the language??? - Ticked

I hear ya. I type AS IS, as that is what I was asked to do... - reason being if you try

SAVE his life LOL - ..n/m

It makes me feel that the doctors really do not care about their patients. - sm

They don't care! - Ticked

I don't recall a doctor ever complaining about being "cleaned up." - HangingInThere

Gee, if we were permitted to "clean up" the garbled reports being dictated, - Nuance would lose a tool with which to downsize
