Amen sista. NM

amen sista!
I, too, edit India reports and day after day correct their errors that definitely would have had me fired in the blink of any eye. For instance, one error was Patient is a wheechair. It should have actually been: Patient is a realtor. This isn't an isolated incident, but happens report after report after report. These reports have already gone to the hospital and are corrected after the fact. With the advent of electronic signature, docs do not read their reports anymore, and do not realize the danger they are in should they end up in court. I doubt you'll see an Indian MT/editor/manager around to take responsibility for the error. In this day and age, I don't even think I'd want to be a doctor unless I KNEW FOR A FACT where my dictation was being transcribed.
Amen sista...
I also love the one-liner emails that just say can you tell me about the job? I put everything in my ads that an MT needs to know and if someone won't take the time to even read the ad, I know the attention to detail is not going to be there. Also, if I post 3-5 years of experience, that doesn't mean I will accept 6 months because you list I type fast. Keep the resume short and to the point as well. I do not have time to read through a 10-page resume that tells me your children's names and what activities you are involved in with them, how many pets you have, etc. Be specific, provide the full name of the company and the contact information. I am wary if I get a list of employers without contacts and then the provided reference list only lists personal references. We aren't going to contact every employer on the list, especially your present employer, until we know more about you and you have tested, etc.
Regarding testing, don't you just love the excuses people give for not completing the test? My favorite ones are:
1. My power went out.
2. My phone went out.
3. My 2-year-old spilled Coke into my keyboard.
4. You misrepresented the test and didn't tell me there would be foreign doctors.
5. Don't you have any other files you can test me on? These are hard.
6. I fell and hurt my wrist/arm/leg/head.
Amen to that, sista!
I like my time off too!
Amen Sista!
Especially in this business. Never, ever seen so many witches with bad itches. Thank goodness I'm no longer in this crap hole of a profession. My regrets go to each and every one of you. Send the crap to India, who cares, they can have it!
Amen, Sista, that is what I was
trying to say. When I'm knocking down about $800 in a week and I'm part-time, I find absolutely nothing to complain about!!!!!! Not to mention the fact that I'm not bothered with 100 or so stupid emails from all levels of management every day as some companies do. Just give me the work and leave me alone to do it and I'm a happy camper.
Amen, sista!
I'm not going to start a ruckus by saying what I think of most, NOT ALL, of the QA people these days, especially those with the useless CMT initials. No jealousy here...BTDT, I quit with that nonsense when the AAMT, or whatever they call themselves now, quit supporting the MTs, if in fact they ever did.
Amen sista!
She probably works for one of the companies that posts these false advertisements.
I hear ya sista!
Amen!

I've got mine, too, sista, but whereas you care nothing except about yourself,
there are those of us here who understand what is happening in this forcing of being creditialed. You obviously don't have a clue, but that is generally the case with the me attitude so prevalent in today's world, an attitude you have displayed magnificently, BTW. I got my CMT because I WANTED to, not because I was FORCED to. Will being forced to be credentialed make you a better MT? NO. No more than being called an MD makes you a good or even excellent doctor. And boy, do we know some really stupid, careless, arrogant, physicians who ought to be in prison today instead of practicing medicine? Doesn't really make any difference that they have MD as a title, does it?
