All MTs (and I'm sure that would include Indian MTs, as well!) waste time and lose money struggling with ESL dictators. It would certainly seem to me that patients of these doctors are at higher risk for medical mistakes because no one, including their co-workers, is entirely sure what they heck those people are saying. So why don't they simply dictate in THEIR OWN NATIVE LANGUAGE, and have that work transcribed by MTs who are also native speakers of that language?&n ...

I was part of that lucky group whose company number was changed, but our expansions didn't move with us. I've been trying for 2-1/2 hours to get this straightened out, was on with tech support twice and am waiting for a call back. I also enlisted my adult son who is VERY computer savvy but have been unable to get anywhere, with probably mainly Windows Vista to blame. At this point, I would be thrilled if I at least could view my old expansion list with the hope of copying ...

Really feeling low today. Not only is work scarce but still recovering from Friday, when my last job of the day, of course, was the worst dictator I get, of course, and I could not even come close to complying with FTR so I had to send it through QA. There goes my numbers. Just wanted to cry, in fact, think I did. Just once again reminds me of how disemmpowered we are at this level and it is a terrible feeling. There is really nobody you can talk to within the company structur ...

From Western region - got e-mail from "interim QA" yesterday with attachment which was "normal lab values per KB Benchmark." Third paragraph of e-mail said the MT should be ever vigilant for punctuation errors and errors in dictation of lab values by docs. Said if doc was in error in dictating the lab value and the MT transcribes it, IT IS THE MT's FAULT ! Does this person have a Napoleonic complex or what ? It is now expected that we must constantly check t ...

My feeling is, ASR works you to death. I wish the docs that I type for, could see what their ASR reports look like when I first get them. I wish Vern could see how they look. I wish all the educated idiots who come up with "incentive" and "boost" ideas, could see what they look like. It is soooo tempting to just let one of those reports go through....just like it came to me...no corrections.....and let these docs who are the worst of the dicators, made us who type for them be put on 10 ...

When you first went to VR did you have a hard time? I've straight-typed for so many years and this seems to have thrown me off. The mistakes have been incredible and I find myself feeling so inadequate. ...

Oh, man, I hope this doesn't mean they're going to be constantly riding our backs, cracking the MM whip again. I want to quit already, but I'll wait and see how it goes. ...

I wish this Nuance takeover of OSi was all just a bad dream that I will soon wake up from! I used to be a happy MT...life was good working at home and could pretty much pay the bills...UNTIL NOW! Now have to sit around all day into the late hours of the night waiitiing for every little job to come in. There is no communication. The bonus was a joke. How can they call it an incentive. They cut my pay big time...was hoping I could get it back in "bonus" form.&nb ...

Started work as a QC at Nuance over a year ago. I was trained on what was to be my main account which was a huge group of hospitals ihere in the Southwest state where I reside. TIckled to death. I'd log in to work, do my 8 hours and sign out. Decent hourly rate, plenty of work. Never volunteered for overtime but then again it was not mandatory. Fast forward several months and guess what? They started outsourcing my main account to our friends and neighbo ...

Do you wonder if the TSMs are real or are they just machines? They all give the very same answers when you are OOW. It is like a script that they had to learn. No matter what the question, the same answer. I think I am living in a nightmare at Nuance. ...

Just got a crapload of rules, regulations, and BS from Nuance supervisor. I need an accountant and lawyer to interpret this junk. If Nuance spent as much getting new accounts as they do on creating garbage names for their new "improved" way of doing things, we could all make money and quit reading notices from Nuance with all kinds of disclaimers. Blah! Garbage in, garbage out to Nuance with their formulas, incentives, and BS to hide the fact they are cutting pay while shippi ...

Switching from Classic to Cornerstone is killing my income! My CCM tells me, like all bosses do when they switch to SR, that no one is going to lose their jobs, and it will be better. No. What happens is our pay drops drastically, and then the work doesn't take as long to do. Work that took 100 MTs to do can now be done by 50, and MTs lose out. Good for MQ....bad for us. When I started here in 2006 45K a year. Now lucky if I make 25K. Now at .04 a line, tha ...

I was finally able to get hired by a local hospital that very rarely has openings. I will get to work from home once I am up to speed on their platform....doing VR....getting paid by the hour....benefits for the family of only $200/month....and PTO time. I couldn't be happier. I have been slugging it out with MTSOs for 10 years and am finally getting out of this rat race. It was music to my ears when I asked what the chances are of them ever turning their work over to a MTSO and they sa ...

Have a headache just thinking about it. How will we be able to verify accuracy and that we are not getting ripped off even more than we already are? Follow the 12-step instructions "on our own time, of course." Just want to scream! ...

I'm new to IT and have a question: How do you bold text? I went into "Edit" and see several options but not for bolding. Yes, it's probably in the manual but I'm on the clock right now so hope someone will post it here. Thanks! ...

Just one more thought. I have never, ever, known anyone who has left Medquist or Spheris and regretted it. They may bounce back and forth just to get by, but in the long run, when they are finally finished, they are finished. For all of those MTs who don't want to start over, please don't take that attitude. I did and it only got worse and when I did change it wasn't that bad at all. Again, could it get any worse? ...

Not that I'm not glad it was an increase rather than a pay cut, but I think for a lot of us this "raise" is going to just even us out for when he start getting docked pay April 1. Funny that this "raise" is starting April 1, isn't it? ...

Now I know I did the right thing in not only leaving the Q but leaving the field altogether. I had another physical last week and my blood pressure was back down to 120/70, and my doctor was very happy when he learned I had quit. They wasted no time in sending me labels to ship the computer back, though. Oh well.. they don't want the monitor, or mouse, or keyboard, so I'm keeping those! ...

In half the report the doc says L5-S1, the other half he says L5 on S1. Is this the same thing? ...

I clicked on each of the highlighted areas in the e-mail, but where do you go to set this up? I must be needing more coffee or something. I just dont get it. Read it 3 times now. ...

If this dictator says, "peeeeeeeeeeeeriod" one more flippin time, I am going to scream as loud as I possibly can and then punch the daylights out of this monitor! ...

Urine welkenton? Not sure of spelling, since I'm not sure it's really a word. They could also be saying welkington. That's what the dictation sounds like and I've listened to it several times on numerous days. Can't find a reference to it anywhere and I've tried many variations. Wondering if it's a really old term or if I'm completely misunderstanding. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! ...

I do believe now that they are starting to target those of us who were making 10/6. In the past, on my old accounts, I was audited no more than once a month. If I failed an occasional audit, they would wait another month to see how I did on that one and since I always passed, no action was taken. There was also no action after I took more than the allowable time off. Then, at the beginning of November, I was moved to another BOB. After being on the account for less ...

I just can't stick it out 2 weeks :( Every job I type just stresses me out more and more. I am to the point that I don't care if I get my 20 hours PTO I have built up. I am emailing back and forth with my TSM right now and it sounds like she is reading off a script! "Take each report as they come and try to do your best to prevent errors" No $%^& lady!! Does she think we don't know that????? ARRRGGH I am so beyond frustrate ...

Just had a doctor dictate "potassium 40 mg," (should have been mEq) and then further down, "Levemir 40 mg" (should have been units). If I had not left blanks for them, that would have been 6 points off. It also compelled me to use my allotment of blanks for that report! But they, of course, do not get penalized for their mistakes. On the other hand, our pay is docked. There is a double standard here that needs to be changed. ...

The sentence is ... The ---- was normal to slightly below average. It sounds like wetzler...i did research but I can't find the correct way to spell it.. ...

The university down the street will be offering an undergraduate degree in Arabic. It is one of only 3 offer in this country. Now THAT ought to be useful. Sometimes, if you already have an undergraduate degree, they let you skip the basics and finish in 2 yrs. I would certainly consider that, especially since there appears to be no end in sight to our troubles with Arab-speaking countries. ...

that I have had in a dictation, and I am sure that the dictator (PA-C) is annoyed as well. It's always annoying when she chitty-chats with the "girls in the office" while dictating, but in this dictation, one of the girls is mocking back everything the dictator says and continues to do so, after a little chuckle from dictator each time, to the point where the dictator finally has to tell her that this is important, it is for an attorney and she cannot mess it up. ...
