Here's a good one. This doc says the nurses in the ER noticed that patient may have had a heart rate of "800." Impossible. I thought possibly he could be saying "a hundred", but I slowed down the dictation and 800 is what he is saying. This is an ESL doc who talks very fast. This is not the first time he has said something incorrect. ...
I'm curious about something - maybe it's because when I started doing MT, it was straight typing. I've only been doing ASR 2.5 years.
Has anyone noticed if they're more accurate when doing regular typing than they are with ASR? I have. I rarely make mistakes with straight typing but sure can have a lot of typos, duplicate words or whatever pop up on the ASR.
Plus, as an added benefit with regular MT, whenever the dictator pauses, I close my eyes for ...
I'm trying to figure out what this doctor means. He's dictating the vitals signs and says "pulse DT and regular." He's clearly saying "DT" (not "DP" or "PT"), but I can't reference it anywhere. Any help? Thanks :)

I got an email about open enrollment for PT flex, PT limited and and FT limited.
Well, what about FT regular? Why does everything have to be so long and drawn out and complicated with this company. I just want the darn information! ...
I've been standing up at my counter, working... I think I'll like it once my feet get used to it. I was wondering if anyone's tried it and was able to keep it going. I know it's supposed to be easier on the body than sitting 8-10 hours a day, but it does take some getting used to! ...

Down below someone said it only comes as a separate check if it is over $100.
Mine have always been in the 120 to 150 range and I have gotten a separate check. But
for the past 2 months, nothing. CCM has no idea what is up. Just wondering if anyone's
bonus if over $100 came, as usual, as a separate check. TIA ...
Sorry, my math really sucks and I can't seem to find a site that will 'convert' decimals to regular numbers. If a patient's lab test reads as 23.0 and the doctor dictates it as 23,000 are these both correct ways of putting it? Also had absolute segment coung of 17.48 that was dictated as 17, 480 and bands of 0.23 that were dictated as 230. If these are just other ways of expressing the same number and are all correct, great- I just want to be sure that is the case. I ...
M-Modal has a current job opening listing for PART TIME MTs (there is a separate listing for FT ones too). WTH is up with that? I mean, I myself was planning on giving my notice soon enough to this crappy company and actually was glad I was laid off instead of quitting...at least now I am eligible for unemployment until I find another job....but really, WTH? It's not an old listing, has TODAY's date on it. What is the reasoning? ...
Just shoot me now. I had some great accounts that are outside my area coming in. Unfortunately, now my regular accounts are showing up and my count is taking its usual dive. Bad audio, crummy output. And the compliance coach thinks it is me that has the problem???
Performance coach was performance managing me for "failing" audits, i.e. getting 99.65%. Now she is our compliance coach, so I am getting informed that my line count is teetering just below the requirement. I let her know that ...
Can anyone tell me if line rate pay is comparable to getting paid by the audio minute? Is 0.50 or 1.00 normal? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks! ...
Please help with following. It sounds like

Heart exam, doctor dictates: "Heart: Regular rhythm without murmurs or gallops. 2 clicks heard at the apex" I don't understand the connection between "2" and "clicks" or what punctuation to use??
I'm new to this so any help would be much appreciated!! Thanks!!

Posted this yesterday, but wanted to see if anyone else might know...
HEART: Regular rhythm without murmurs or gallops. 2 clicks heard at the apex.
(or 2: Clicks heard at the apex?)
He says "2" like number 2, as if he dictated number 1- which he obviously didn't. Is there such a thing as 2 clicks heard at the apex??
