She very clearly dictates: He was also unable to perform finger-to-nose and had difficulty performing "head-to-shin" movements. That can't be right, can it? I would think it would be difficult for most people to perform "head-to-shin" movements. Ouch! ...

I read EVERYDAY about ppl on this board having no jobs at the Q, not being able to contact their CCM or RTL to get work. I got a phone call (not an e-mail) ASKING if I could take on another couple of accounts because "the people assigned to these accounts apparently can't get their TAT up" The sugar on top is this is suppose to be a "straight type facility"... WOW! I took the accounts, I mean, I've been working steady for about 3 - 4 months, FT hours, nary a NJ ...

I'm an MME, and in editing reports these past few weeks I'm noticing a huge number of gender mix ups in the reports I'm seeing. In some reports, it almost seems to toggle back and forth from he/she/him/her, etc with absolutely no consistency. It seems to be an ASR issue. I'm not sure why it's happening but what I AM noticing is that a lot of MTs aren't catching it. If I am the MME for your report, I will always correct them while I'm fil ...

I found an ad this morning that I was so excited about, part-time MT in 2 specialties that I love, started my email to the company when I went back to look at the job ad and it states UP TO 0.7 per line. Immediately I deleted the email, shook my head and went on looking. What amazes me even more is that these people/companies who offer these horrible wages generally act like they are doing you a favor!! Sad, so very sad .... ...

So much going on! Got an e-mail Friday that all jobs, regardless of how many blanks it has in is, is going directly to the customer. Got another e-mail about Benchmark, and I have no clue what that is all about. Not certified, don't want to be certified, so if it has anything to do with that - and we HAVE to from what I am gathering. Then they train me for full DQS accounts, and there is never any work on those accounts. My primary was supposed to go SR in Janu ...

There is good reason that these ladies sound a little negative. It is not about you, your initiative, or your dedictation. They do know what they are talking about, but they did not even begin to explain to you why, probably not enough room or time! This industry has changed drastically. You can not believe the ads you read about being an MT, great money, work your own hours, train in 2-4 months, blah, blah, blah. None of that is true. This has become a low in ...

I am typing merrily along, enjoying my psych account, and when I get to the plan, the dictator states for the last entry, "I informed the patient that this practice is closing and will provide her with a list of referrals." The next four dictations had the same final entry. Egad. Thanks for letting us, the mere typists, know. ...

Thanks for your time. Liz ...

I keep getting dinged for comma usage, and I'm not one to overuse them, though I fully support the use of an Oxford comma. I am old school, and I've been taught the following about commas 1) They go before a conjunction when what could be complete sentence follows. 2) They do not go before or after (unless there is a strange circumstance, i.e, "indeed" or some such wording thrown in) a conjunction w/o a complete sentence following it. My hospitals are "modified ver ...
