i saw in TV this morning that the national average was 3% pay increases this year....Can't remember the last raise I have had so doubt we will see that! A pay decrease is a better bet. ...
This is an operative report with a preop and postop diagnosis of Anterior mediastinal theratoma with airway obstruction and esophageal obstruction.
Dissection then went to the cephalad aspect of the tumor, and a clamp used to delineate it, and the tumor was freed of the tissue overlying the anonamate vein. ...
Have you guys been using the search engine to look up previous reports? I LOVE IT, have been waiting for it for YEARS!!! I just did a look up by patient and was able to avoid 2 skip markers...the doc was flying through the medicines and I could NOT get them, looked up a report for the patient, there was only one, but it did list the meds...WOOHOOO....there are some good things in these changes if you look for them!! ...
Seems to me, "one year acute care experience" was the basic requirement to sign on with an MTSO. Then it went to three years. Now, a lot of places require "five years' experience." Plus, QA has gotten unbelievably picky. I've always had top-notch quality and even been complimented personally by physicians at various local clinics. Recruiters call my test scores "excellent." And YET, wherever I start working, my QA looks like the homework of some dyslexic third-grader that comes back fr ...
unnecessary blank. This is before I ever even start to listen to the report...
In the medication list:
_____ 0.4 mg sublingually p.r.n. chest pain.
NOW, I don't care how badly the dictator butchered the word, it is OBVIOUS what this blank should be even WITHOUT listening to the dictation. Any MT worth a dime, would be able to deduce what the doctor was saying. There is more to this job than simply typing what you hear! ...
After AGAIN seeing more productivity and no increase in my pay, I sent my CCM an e-mail asking to explain it. Will keep you all posted! Maybe everyone should do the same, let them see how frustrated we all are. Betcha M*Modal is the only one reaping any benefits from our increased productivity. Bet the suits are getting major bonuses while we can barely keep our heads above water. ...
What happened to SK? I tried to CC him on an email that he needs to see and got a notice that the email was no longer valid. Please tell me they didn't RIF him. He probably would have fired me for the email anyway, but I'm tired of being told by my supervisor not to go above her head with complaints. ...
It is so so sad that some of our own bosses don't seem to care that we are suffering financially with this switch over. All they say is "hang in there"..REALLY, oh yeah that's right you have no idea what we are going through because you still get your salary pay or even hourly pay....stop and try production pay for 1 month and then talk to me. I'm done....outa here! ...
I have searched for various spellings and even tried wild card and nothing. He has been changed from Plavix therapy to Persidogril???? or something like that. Thanks for any help. ...
Let's see who reads this board. This is a challenge to the "bosses" to try and improve production and cut costs. I have worked in many jobs in my life from delivering papers at 12, to retail, to public service jobs, the one constant in ALL of them is..a happy employee is a productive employee. Business 101 says, if your employees produce more, you need less of them, and that cuts overhead.
That being said I would be happy if:
1. You simply paid 15 or 20 minutes a day paid time to re ...

I normally work nights and get the worst dictators and horrid ASR. Of course, the worst dictators are usually the low man on the totem pole and get the worst coverage. At least, that is my experience from everywhere I have worked. Plus you get the sleepy doctors that can barely move their mouths in between yawns. I also only rarely get operative reports.
On the few occasions I have needed to work a day shift, in addition to much better dictation, I get a lot of operative reports (I am tie ...
On MRA of brain with AVM. The arterial supply is predominantly from the left anterior choroidal artery, with smaller contributions arising from the left posterior choroidal artery and lenticulostriate perforating vessels. There is a deviated "strange" into the left basal vein of Rosenthal, left thalamostriate vein, and left anterior septal veins. ...
On 2-dimensional view, the right ventricular outflow track appeared to be quite prominent, and in one plane, the right ventricular outflow tract, that dimension was over 40 mm. The main pulmonary artery was measured at 16 mm. The pulmonary valve annulus was 22 mm. With the addition of color flow Doppler, looking from the suprasternal notch, there is a fairly high flow venous structure coming superiorly from the left to join the (s/l) *anomanent* vein. ...
