If a doctor says the same thing every time

I do not get the reasoning for this at all!! If what MedQ has is highly trained MTs who occasionally need a second pair of ears to confirm a phrase or occasionally come across a term that cannot be found through research...isn't that what QA is for?? And if QA is so overwhelmed by MTs sending them stuff...then I think the answer is MTs that are not qualified to work on their own...not to penalize vilify the MT who does use QA rarely. I am totally confused on when to ...

I am a part timer and usually do not have to take time off for doctor appointments but have one this coming week that I will need an hour or 2 off for. I thought a couple of years ago the policy was changed to read that we did not have to make up this time or take PTO for doctor appointments. Was I dreaming this? First time in a long time I have had to do this and would like to know what others do. Bascially my CCM told me I had the rest of the week in which to make it up ...

I have three jobs. One full time, a part-time and a part-time (done only once a month). The once a month job is for done for my pcp (doctor). I no longer have need for the job. I hate to tell my own physician I no longer want to work for him because I feel as a patient he will not treat me the same. Never mix business with business. What can I do? ...

I am almost finished with a medical transcription course. There is one worde/term being dictated that I just cannot understand. It refers to when someone takes time off work for a doctor visit. It sounds like the person dictating is saying "emuran." Can anyone help me. Thanks so much ...

I wanted to know some pointers to get ahead with understanding a doctor's dictation in certain parts of a voice file. I am having a hard time even though I have been doing MT work for over a year. Any suggestions would really help. Thanks ...

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 ...

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. ...

and right at the LAST MINUTE, ONE job comes in. You type it and then have to sit for another 15 minutes. Rinse, repeat. ...

Are there companies that pay to do QA hourly? If so where are they and who? I do QA now and work 15 hours a day for less than $100 ...

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. ...

Gross Lines? Net Lines? What exactly does that mean. Should net lines be more? If I really average what they say I do, I should be making 27/hour??? I times the net lines by my rate = 27. Well, that is for SURE not the case. I only wish. And what difference does it make whether we use the mouse or not IF that is the most efficient way? Will their ridiculousness never cease to amaze me? ...

I've heard of 4+/5, and he just used that for strength in the upper extremity, but then he said 4++/5 strength of the lower extremity. Is there such a thing as ++ or do you think he just accidentally said it twice. I'm not finding anything anywhere. Thx. mt ...

What exactly is the difference, if any? Is this a transcription-based platform or a voice-recognition type? Company only states cs.net as platform. ...

just wonderin, cuz this board is the only place i've heard of it. is it in email or MQ central or what? ...

If a doctor says the same thing every time - missindale

No, not unless someone trains the SR engine - SR has no knowledge of its own

But I thought it "trains" it every time a report goes through - jh

and who is the "it" that trains it - again...

No - wheres_my_job

This is when you do F11 and cut and paste a standard - you have saved. nm
