I'm typing an operative report...the doctor recorder is playing VERY fast and I'm trying to decipher what she's saying.
'Two mediastinal drain tubes were brought in from the subxiphoid region, the tip of the left side directly under the thoracic cavity'
what is your question? - nm

The MT Profession Has Really Gone Down The Tubes
Oct 30, 2013
The MT profession has really gone down the tubes. I have no desire to do this anymore and that's why I've been training for other things. These Quality Control people have nit picked to the point I just cannot stand it anymore (forgetting "the" or taking out "the") and the other extremely petty crap that they ding for (and it has no bearing on patient care whatsoever). Who wants to work like this anymore (and for the rotten pay on top of that to boot)? It never used to be like ...

Are Transcription Jobs Going Down The Drain?
Oct 25, 2012
I work at home for the local hospital/clinic and have for the last 12 years doing transcription. Now all of a sudden we switched to a new system and a lot of the doctors are doing voice recognition and we are doing more editing of reports than typing. Also, I used to work a solid 8 hours a day from 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Now I have to get up at 4 a.m. to grab work till about 8 a.m., and then there is no work till around noon. Even after that it is sporadic, hit and miss.&nbs ...

May 20, 2011

If you are making more than this with your calculated base, they are cheating you! I lose approximately $7 dollars an hour when asked to wait. I for one have had enough! Pray for me, as I may push this to the limit of losing my job, but when you think about it, that ...
