Speech wreck of a very clear dictator. Getting worse every day! No wonder I can't make minimum wage, tho I used to have no problem doing that with this company.
I say we all send the speech reports through... - Depressed

The doctors are dictating, not proofreading, and signing the reports. The reports are going out with astonishing errors that we would have been fired on the spot for. When the major errors are found (usually by the referring doctor), our docs edit and then add a sentence blaming the mistake on the transcriptionist. Bastids.
So I check Feisa and there is a "C" graded report.....I'm fed up. What do you put for feedback? Here is what I sent:
" Well, I give up. There is not a human being alive who can be 100% for 100% of the time or even 98% for 100% of the time. I don't make errors on purpose. This job is too tedious and detail oriented to stare at the computer screen for 8 hours a day and not make some mistakes. I am not a machine. I shall continue to do my work to the best of m ...
It's been a long time since I've been an IC and I'm trying to decide if it's even worth it. I am an employee now making the whopping 8 cpl, but I do run out of work all the time....
Thanks. ...
Isn't it enough that they strip our pay down to near minimum wage? Using even 1 or 2 hours of PTO in a week will cause one's weekly incentive to fall. Can't they give us even one little break, like make the weekly incentive a daily incentive like in the olden days? Come on, CEOs, please give us a little crumb here. We're falling fast. I personally am down about $25K per year. How can that be? I'm a good worker, or I should say I used to be a good worker until FIESA came ...
With work just barely trickling in, it was enough to keep me from OOW status but the outcome has been a lot of stress.
I was stuck doing an account I've never seen, reviewing a ton of specs, going over the report many, many times to clean up any blanks/issues, and looked up so many old notes to get the right wording and format that literally my right hand is numb from mouse use.
My effort to still provide the best quality I can resulted in barely anything completed in that time, a laughab ...
For those of you thinking of going with FN out of California, when you get your employment package, you will find that 2 lines of work equals 1 line of editing--in other words, you must do twice as much work to get paid for a line of editing. Of course, you do not find that out until you have invested time and interest with this place. ...
I'm going completely blank on this one. The patient entered the hospital for chest pain. The doc states: (blank sounds like gel, or jail)
He denies any current discomfort but states when it is present it is usually a mild to moderate degree of pressure about the chest. He denies any radiation to the _____, arms, or back. ...
...check it out for yourselves. Employees are not independent contractors. If you signed up for a straight 8 per day, your time sheet should reflect only the breaks you take off the clock. They are so messing with you folks! ...
Anyone have any ideas about how to tell off a pain-in-the-a** Q/A who takes any opportunity to send stupid comments without losing your job - and definitely putting her in her place!!! I'm sick of her nonsense. Or is it that all Q/As know they have the upper hand????
Thanks.

So all I had to do was walke up one morning about a week ago and my arm throbbed. Lots of pain between the wrist and elbow and can feel it any time I move my fingers or use my mouse. Anyone have any ideas how to deal with this? I'm about to go nuts with this constant ache/pain. ...
This patient is in for groin pain, diagnosis of hip early degenerative arthritis, DR states in HPI that she has a "history of s/l shark lordosis"
Under PE he states she has "no sensory deficits of lower extremity except for baseline s/l stockings of glove distribution secondary to her s/l shark-loida peripheral neuropathy."
I know that makes no sense but this DR sounds like he had a long night last night and may still have some substances running through his system. LOL He is usually ver ...
I am working on a Orthopedic report and it sounds like the doctor is dictating that the patient has severe fluro pain. I have not heard of "fluro" pain. Is this slang for another term? The patient has rhuematoid arthritis. ...
I need help please! I think in the past I had read in BOS that when dictator is saying 1-2 out of 10 on pain scale it should be 1/10-2/10. Can anyone verify correct way please? Cannot find in my BOS.
ALso dictator is saying "triple A surgery". Should that be typed as AAA or triple A?
Thank you! ...
Hi, everyone. I'm sure that this is a common problem in the transcription field, but I was hoping someone had some sort of remedy. I've been typing every day for the past couple of weeks about 9 hours a day and one of my fingers (the one I use for the Backspace key) is really starting to hurt every time I push down on it. It's right at the second knuckle on the digit and it's starting to become problematic.
Any suggestions from more experienced MTs?
Thanks. ...
The patient has metastatic prostate cancer, in severe pain, looking into
treatment with s/l sumerian - sumera -
Thought maybe Zemuron but looks like that completely knocks you out, can't find a reference to using that just for pain. Any help appreciated! There are many blanks in this report - all the same word.
