This dictator drives me nuts

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. ...

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

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? ...

What the ASR typed: sodium was 137, potassium five. It does this all the time. Why would it put the numbers on the sodium and spell out the number for the potassium? ...

It just drives me nuts when a doctor says "Patient has a history of whatever in the past." Duh, isn't that kind of redundant? History is always in the past. That's why it's history! ...

begins and then those pile on with pleas for a job. Below Frustrated was discussing whether there were any good workers around any more and whoop de doo mad rush of "I e-mailed you about working for you" Can we just DISCUSS subjects and businesses without people chiming in with the give-me give-mes? Every comment about a company is followed by pleas for ways to get into these companies. Due diligence - apply, fill out application, take test, quit trying to weasel in on a ...

I haven't received my new hard drive yet. Are the main programs already loaded on. ...

Can you install a program such as a photo shop or print shop to an external hard drive and use it that way? My computer is a little too full to install another big program on it. Is there any special technique to do this? Thanks ...

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??????? ...

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!!! :) ...

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 ...

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. ...

"...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 :) ...

ESL, after saying the headings, repeats them along with adding a few more words, but it still means the same damn thing, says "umm you know" after almost every other word, keeps saying "feeded" instead of fed. VR has not learned him at all, so I'm having to delete every other word and all the "umm you knows". 13 minutes worth of this crap. And 20 minutes later I'm not even done with it yet. This is going to be a very long day......... Can't forget about getting paid h ...

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 ...

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!!!! ...

you wanted to quit mid shift????? Sigh. I had one of those yesterday. Everytime I see his name come up in my cue I cringe!!!! He is horrible. Horrible accent. I did notice though after doing about 3 or 4 of his reports, my ears becames "trained" on him and I get better with him as time went by. But still, he is one that just makes my momentum (sp) drop drastically! Just venting!!! Thanks for letting me share. ...

that he does NOT have to say "next sentence" before every sentence. I'm looking at 16+ minutes of this.....I'm just sayin! ...

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!!!! ...

This doctor says "ah" inbetween just about every other word. So I'm spending all my time in the ASR taking out a bunch of "a's"!!! Wouldn't normally ah vent, but I've ah had her a lot ah today! ...

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!! ...

This dictator drives me nuts - Have to vent

I am so sorry. With QCs doing so much of the MT - work, we really are stuck with the dregs.

Crap dictators - Have to vent
