I started MedQuist a couple of weeks ago, and am going to soon start applying at other companies. I've been transcribing many years, but have never edited. I thought it would be an interesting and fun experience, but am already tired of it. Every report is ESL and I have to fill in so much, I could go much faster just typing. Because I haven't been shown how to access and use the expander, despite numerous requests, I have to type everything over and over. ...
I keep seeing posts here that include phrases like "if they cared about us..." They don't care and have never cared. My company was bought out about 15 years ago when we were still working in an office. The story of how they moved us from our office to the "new" office is horrible enough to be part of a Stephen King novel and would make your skin crawl. This is a company that operates by threats, intimidation and punishment and, after all these years, with all the ev ...
Anyone got any tips on how to avoid burn out? I am fairly new to MT and am getting burned out. Not good, I know since this is what I truely want to do. I work 7 days a week and maybe that is part of it. Sitting down at my desk to work is becoming harder as I hate to walk in the room. I love what I do and love being home, but sometimes feel like I live in seclusion as I work all the time. Planning weekends has gone out the window. Does anyone else feel this way or is it just me? Any helpful ...

How does one stay motivated day in and day out...when the account I have I find very boring (rehab) and not acute care which I love, I am soooo burned out, and unsure of company changes and soon going to be calling this profession the quits as I will be going to school part time in the fall to pursue a career change? Any suggestions, please! ...
not really feasible to look for another job outside home. I live in a very small town and care for my aging mother who is not in the best of health. Right now I'm really feeling a major period of burn-out with transcription. Most days, I'm ready to throw my hands up and quit, just walk away from it, but then I see my checkbook laying on my desk as a reminder that I can't do that. I'm tired of trying to understand mushmouth practitioners, those who talk at the speed of light, ...
HI Everyone.
Transcribing a burn victim. He is saying what sl/10 zanaflex for compression therapy. I can't figure this one out. Could it be tendon reflex for compression therapy? Any Ideas? ...
left lateral thigh was injected with apx 200 cc of (s/l) "pickent solution" - dfnly not Dakins. This is for a split thickness autograft on a burn wound. Anyone heard of something similar? ...
The following sentence reads:
The further debridement to the distal forearm required excision of ruptured and necrotic distal extensor tendons down to the level of the s/l*bealdi* bone.
Not sure what "bealdi" could be and not sure if the word after it is even "bone." What could it be??
Thanks!

I haven't ever heard this phrase before and wondered if someone could tell me what it is/the correct way to transcribe it. Patient has facial trauma after high-speed motor vehicle collision.
...and on arrival had imaging workup with a traumagram and "max face" CT. ...
She/they are never ever. EVER. going to tell you what you want to hear on these calls. Ever. They tell us things we already know - what our collective concerns are via the employee survey, that they're oh-so-excited about this and that - things that will pad THEIR paychecks, not ours - and spout off a bunch of useless "statistics" that not one of us cares about - pretty much how successful THEY are as a company, not us as the MTs. Pass on some of that wealth! Again, if you' ...
s/l This fashion I retained hemostasis and was able to minimize blood loss after deflation of the tourniquet.
