Foreign doctor pronunciation

This isn't even a resident - he's an attending and he's pronouncing omeprazole as The Om at the beginning he pronounces like "Tom without the T. He pronounces the last part like "doll" and the "pear" just like the fruit, with the accent put on the "pear" om PEAR a zoll. I can understand so many mispronunciations of Prilosec. Those of us who have been doing MT for a long time know that it's original name was Losec but apparently hospitals, nurses and doctor ...

Is anyone else at Nuance getting foreign doctor dictations constantly during their shift? I do not mind doing a few at a time but having to do a full shift of foreign doctors is getting very trying. Thanks! ...

Does anyone know the pronunciation of this bacteria? The pronunciation is not given in my reference materials, Borellia burgdorferi. ...

I've never had this before and I'm not sure how on earth to transcribe it. He dictates the pronunciation for someone's name (specifially, the letters as in the first example) and specifically states he wants it included in the report (so he knows "not to mispronounce it next time" ). Should I maybe put: Cecil (pronounced S-E-S-I-L) and I had a long discussion... Cecil (pronounced "Sesil") and I had a long discussion... Thank for your help!! ...

I RECEIVED EMAIL BELOW. It was sent to my email address by responding to one of my MTSTARS Post. Hai, I am a medical transcriptionist from Sri Lanka, and have been a medical transcriptionist for the past five years. Presently I am employed as a medical transcriptionist but working for a pi ...

Any advice or recommendations on understanding foreign accents? ...

A friend of mine who works in a medical office told me this afternoon that they've started getting records that are transcribed overseas. She said the records are done so badly that they can't use them, can't trust that the information in them is correct. When I told her my job may go away soon & be sent to India, she said "it can't!" She said these records are obviously done by people who don't speak English. What I don't understand is how work can still be off ...

Hi All, Because of family "emergency" I may have to go overseas for a few weeks. I'd like to keep working because I don't have any leave available right now. I'm wondering if any of you out there have ever brought your laptop and worked from a foreign country. If so, were there any technical issues? I know some websites have their access blocked from certain parts of the world and I'm wondering if DocQScribe and DocQManage have any issues like that. ...

I am sitting here literally ready to punch the wall out of sheer frustration. So sick of listening to these foreign doctors. Are there any of the regions that are not saturated with them? Seems like mine is chock full. When I transcribed for another company, with a lot of the hospitals in the Southern end of the US, it was not near as bad. VA Hospitals, full to the brim with them and overflowing as well.. ...

I'm looking for a list of medical terms widely used in the US that have come from other languages (French, Spanish, Italian, German). An example would be "peau d'orange" to describe skin like orange peel in breast cancer inflamations. Has anyone seen such a list on the web ? ...

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 ...

The patient presents today for followup on her right first MTP. should it be... metatarsophalangeal and the word joint after it or can it just be metarsophalangeal? tia. ...

react if we went in their offices and talked so fast that they couldn't understand what we said, if we ate during our visit, or yawned and continued talking? I'm just going to wager a guess that they wouldn't appreciate it very much. Sometimes, I think it would be fun to try just to see their reactions. There are some that I transcribe that if I ever got the chance to do that I would. Have an ESL right now that's talking way too fast. Do they not ...

Rambles on, makes no sense throughout the dictation at all, does not make complete sentences, dictates on a patient in the WRONG chart constantly, follows no format, which is required by YOU, cuts himself off but yet when you can understand him, he has a "bright" moment and makes sense is an absolute joy to transcribe???? Oh, and did I mention that he only dictates every third day even though he sees patients on a daily basis???? Mini-vent over, back to the confusion ... TIA ...

It sounds like he says Plantar response is flexor bilaterally in his physical exam portion but he says it so fast I'm not sure I have it right. ...

to dictate, as long as you are already in your car & eating a box of Cracker Jack. ...

I mean, seriously. What are they teaching these ESL docs now?? <--me, rolling eyes ...

Document 1836 long. Doctor walked away from phone at 153 and I had to listen to a bunch of garbage. thank you so much for being an incosiderate boob. ...

Apologies from a physician who is stumbling over his words while valiantly making an effort to dictate clearly. Wish we had more docs like this. ...

while you take a long personal call. After all, I'm just a computer. ...

doesn't actually pause the recording. And saying "Unpause" doesn't make it start again. This isn't even the same doctor that calls me "computer." "Computer go back to the HPI and..." Beam me up!! ...

I got in trouble today because I put a wrong patient. The doctor dictated a billing number, name, and MRN. The MRN was had a different patient, but the billing number and the patient name matched the ADT screen. Not to mention the fact that he kept using "she" in the dictation and the MRN number matched a "he". So logically one would just think he had the wrong MRN and I didn't want another QA submission so I sent it through with the correct billing number, name, and ...

I need the address for Dr. Jill Rue, family doc in Kentucky or southern indiana. thx ...

Psychiatric Consultation under Review of past medical records... There's a list of 8 paragraphs that begin with "Doctor diagnosed... " and then a list of conditions that the patient had/has follows each. Would Doctor-diagnosed be hypenated in this case? Thanks! ...

Unbelievable. They just sent a ton of attachments. No inservice on the "particulars" when you're filling out the demographic screen, just a TON of instructions without answering any questions. You watch the video on escription, download it, and then you're suppose to be good to go. Forget it. ...

Can anyone tell me what the policy is for taking time off for a medical appointment. I have worked here for over 5 years but never done it. I am a regular part timer who just switched over from flexible part time so I have no PTO accrued to use for the hours I need off and really just want to take it w/o pay. Just curious what others on this forum have done... ...

I mean really! "Her creatinine is somewhat deranged at 2.1..........." ...

I am a former Spheris MT, now begrudgingly a MQ MT (not that Spheris was all that great either). As was pointed out below, we are still on Spheris rules for the most part but I don't expect that to last forever. At Spheris, if we think a doctor has made a mistake, we are encouraged to flag it but that entails putting in a blank, just as if we didn't understand the dictator. If we have too many blanks in a given period, we lose our incentive pay. They do not diff ...
