I'm second guessing my skills...help! In a sentence

All this talk about guessing is not to the point. Even if you do not guess, you are going to make mistakes - we all do. Some of the worst and fastest dictation I get is for the lab data and drugs and dosages which should be the most careful part of the dictation. The responsibility to see that these values are correct in the medical record belongs to the doctor, not to us. ...

It really grinds me that we're told repeatedly not to GUESS in order to make the sentences "make sense." Yet, that's exactly what VR on M*Modal does! Adds words that were never said, takes out important verbs and (God forbid! an article!). I spend more time taking out commas that are substituted for "and." This VR program not only edits, it MAKES WORDS UP! So now, we have to edit the lousy dictators and the In-*******-Credible VR too. Only 2 more yea ...

Would rather not say which company, but I am in my initial training period and the lack of support is like nothing I have ever encountered before! I am not a new MT and I am not a job hopper. In fact, I've been called a suit on here because of my enthusiasm for this line of work. My edited reports look like somebody slashed their wrists and bled all over them. There is either no explanation for the error or cryptic comments that make no sense. Errors are inconsistently flagged. Em ...

Just was notified by my TSM that an account isn't happy. They feel the MLS are guessing and they have found errors to prove it. Someone needs to let these clients know how Nuance is enticing some MLS to guess. They would surely reconsider outsourcing their work and maybe this is the start of hospitals hiring their own MLS again. Wouldn't that be wonderful?! ...

I am so over this company who seems hell bent on destroying the integrity of medical documentation in this country singlehandedly. ...

I have to get out of MT. Been doing this over 20 years and am so burnt out. What are some other industries where these skills would be transferrable? I'm feeling like MT is all I know how to do and its depressing. Thinking about taking a Medical Assistant course or something. ...

Anyone noticed these tests are asking some of the same questoins? My little answers keep popping up when I start typing in the answer. The transcription portions are way too long though. Some are super easy and others are the scum at the bottom of the barrel. I'm beginning to think we're doing somebody's work for them! Now I'm thinking about all the money I could have made by transcribing these stupid test reports. I think one company test ...

I only wish the rate of MT pay matched the MT skills, but why am I complaining? Still have a job .... Many years ago, I can remember that my niece would always ask me about my MT work and how I was able to stay at home and do this sort of work on a full-time basis. Back then, I would try to explain to my young 9-year-old niece that it is all about my preference to stay at home and work full-time, instead of working in Corporate America which I did for many years, and having to commute to work ...

I am currently an MT but will probably try a career switch in in the next few years. I'm just brainstorming right now. What are some good career choices for someone with the skill set for MT? ...

I am looking for work as an Mt and not having any luck. Today, I searched the job service board and found a cool job. It is an IC position with flexible hours and very good pay. It is collecting data for the county/township and entering it into a lap top. They want you to be ableto enter 7000 or more strokes per hour. I meet all the qualifications except this which, of course, is "key" to the job. I know nothing of data entry but I hate to pass on the opportun ...

I took some skills tests, non-MT related, and I'm not sure how to interpret something. I received a 90% (that part I get) which put me in the 56th percentile, and average of 67%. I THINK I know that the 67% means the average people got, who took that test. Is that correct? I don't understand at all the percentile part (the 56.) What does that mean exactly? Thanks! ...

Hello fellow MT's! I am almost finished with my MT course, and I would like some counsel from everyone on their experiences with continuing education after graduation. First I am going to go for my RMT as recommended by the ADHI. What tools and resources did you use that helped? Which ones do you recommend? Has anyone gotten a degree to enhance their knowledge, and if so, what degree? I have recently been discharged after 8 yrs in the Army and I have been studying in my ...

I graduated from M-Tec in Jan. 2011 while working a full-time job. My plan was to keep working, get a part-time MT job until I gained experienced, and then quit my other job and do MT full time. I sent out tons of resumes but received no replies except for one that expressed fear I would get burned out working 2 jobs. After that I got discouraged and stopped looking for MT work for over a year. Now I'm newly motivated (hate my current job) and want to start looking ...

I have been at home working full time for about a year. I have been an MT longer, but I always had kept a job outside of the home also because I like interaction with other. I have found that I am starting to lose my people skills. Do others have this same problem? It is like I have forgotten how to really be able to hold a conversation with others. This is something that really bothers me as I have always loved customer service and working with people and main ...

He was placed on levodopa therapy. With this, both him and his wife noticed his gait improved as well as the tremor. He has actually run out of this over the last 4 or 5 days and it may be a little bit of worsening. That is typed as dictated, I am stumped as to cleaning it up. Also.. 'both him and his wife' does not sound right to me? or is it right. ...

I'm transcribing a dictation by an Asian doctor and I'm unsure what to do with this sentence. I'm pretty sure it is exactly what he is saying. "...drainage from her right ear 2-3 days ago.
