If that is the quality of the transcription they are getting back, how on earth are they passing audits with hospitals?
I just do not get it.

I could swear I had one say
The patient is tolerating her clothes.
Had the boss listen and she agreed, that's what it sounded like.
That would be me. You are very welcome. I swear by it. nm

Nope...I swear - s/m
Deals that big cannot, CANNOT, be done in a sneaky fashion. It just doesn't happen. I worked in investor relations for many years before my stint in MT and I promise you, if you read the fine print and follow shareholder's meetings and the daily stock news, you should never be surprised.
Not directed at you, but sometimes I think MTs love catastrophic thinking. It's simply not realistic in this context.
I swear I do not change my name. Seriously.
I don't lie. If you don't want to believe anything I say in other posts, believe this. I did not change my name to Zippy or Frankie Boy or any of the other people who are responding to me!
You swear to never have another surgery sm
because you know exactly what they will be doing to you.
some swear by, but I think my hands are too big.
Voc. Rehab. let me try one out when they were helping me get my ergonomics together, and I knew right away I could never get used to it. I have rather "fat" fingers, though, and I think that was part of it. If you have longer, thinner fingers, it might be right up your alley.
You can rent one (which can then be applied to the purchase price, I think?) for awhile from this site to try it out, rather than outright buying it.

I swear they are skimming off us somehow.
How do you prove it though unless you are on the "inside" workings of the beast? It's like the old Bugs Bunny where they were splitting up cash or something and the swindling character said, "One for you, one for me. One for you, one two for me. One for you, one two three for me...etc."
swear words in the spellchecker would be because(sm)
sometimes doing psychiatry notes (or any other for that matter) the MD will dictate exactly what the patient says. If that quote contains swear words, the spellchecker will not pick these up unless it's been programmed that that they are spelled right. It get's tedious having swears pop up all the time so they go into the spellchecker.
I swear, the people who manage
this site should put a button right under 'main board' that says 'MQ Gripe Board' so that the seemingly hundreds of disgruntled MQ'ers can gripe and argue all day long and the rest of us would be spared. Every page of this board is filled with arguments between the MQ gripers and the few MQ folks who claim they are happy. At some point you'd think the (MQ people) would realize that non MQ'ers don't want to hear this stuff every single day, all day long.
I swear I could hug you right now. Evidently my expander
left past the letter D and I was trying to replace because I have been using it for forever!! Thank you so, so much!!!!!!! 
I swear a troll or someone just throws these Q's out to see
how close were paying attention to posts
I used to swear by Sylcount but recently
to Practicount. You get the same counts as you do in Sylcount but you don't have to save the files in the rich text format for it to work. I found it annoying to have to save everything in RTF and my version of MS Word would always ask if I wanted to save it in RTF, and I'd have to answer "yes" to two different pop-ups before it would even save. There might have been a way around that, but I found Practicount worked just as well without that bother so I switched.
I swear I had a neurology doctor
who would dictate into the late hours, sometimes almost hour-long dictations, and I could periodically hear the cork coming out of a bottle of wine...guess we are not the only ones that are tempted 
I swear mine does a few lines... (sm)
And then sniffs all the way through the report, he is constantly changing his mind. You know how you can just tell when someone is "under the influence"? I would almost bet this account that this one gets all coked up before he picks up the phone! I have never done one of his reports where he is not trying to inhale the room in between sentences...
Yes, and I swear I've gotten viruses
from tech support screwing around. I now have a new one, and no, I will never work on platform again or have anyone be on my computer through a meeting. If it's not FTP work using Word, no way will I let a company mess around.
I think they do more harm than good! 
I swear, I just transcribed Bill Cosby! sm
you know that voice that Bill Cosby does, kinda sounds like he's drunk? Well, this doc I just transcribed sounded like that!!! and it's workers' comp, no less. Just had to vent a little! It's still too early for all this! 
Hurry, watch the news & I swear
You will see my last dictator dictating from a chopper with at least 10 choppers around him, landing in the middle of a Rolling Stones concert notifying the fans that Mick is sick and won't be there
just don't know how better to describe this background noise that is obviously distracting to him...oh, please add, oops change that...uhh, hmm where was I  I have a migraine now and I don't even know what one feels like and from the looks of my que, I'm going in for round 2
Sorry I did proof my post but I swear things moved around
Sorry for the typos.
Well, my husband and I paid 58% last year in taxes. I swear! sm
I won't tell you our gross, but it's above average, we both work 70+ hours a week and we are struggling to pay our bills - parents of 3 young children.
I am scared to death of Democrats being back in office. GW at least wants tax breaks for families like ours. If the Dems are in office I'm afraid we'll be taxed more to help pay for people like my niece who had babies beginning at age 13 and has never had a job in her life. How can this NOT outrage anyone - yet I know there are people out there who tell me to get over it, it's life, those other people are 'entitled' to our money. It's absolutely vile and disgusting.
Some people swear by vitamins, calcium, low protein diet, Flexeril. (sm)
try a variety of things, cuz it could be so many things.
I am laughing so hard, I swear I fixed my 'pot' (for potassium) expander, and it came out pota
xx
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
And is QA allowed to let her know
about these errors? Or is the company afraid she'll be offended if errors are pointed out? Some people get very upset when they are corrected, so I always wonder if anybody has the courage to pass on corrections to good producers who might go elsewhere if they get offended.
And is QA allowed to let her know...
I've been reading with much interest all the debate going on about QA but this particular post really caught my eye.
As a former MT/supervisor/QA employee in a major MTSO and having differences in the amount of MT training of my staff, which would determine how I would mark a QA error, I also used the "how would I feel" quotient. Were the remarks I might make be taken the wrong way; after all, I was just trying to "educate!"
I still feel passionately that all employees, MTs and all, should be treated fairly and with dignity without taking into account whether a person might or might not leave. In today's MT market, sometimes we "step on toes" because we're human, but I would like to think that most MTs just continue to love what they're doing---even in the bad times. When compassion and yes sheer joy for the job dissipates, then it's time to move on!
Your son develops a rash and a fever and you swear he has Scarlet Fever! nm

This is not allowed at our school.
They used to have volunteers, but these volunteers were given assignments in various areas. Now the parents have to drop the kids off outside and drive on. If a parent needs to come inside, he goes to the office, not to the student's room.
Not allowed at our schools either. sm
You can volunteer and go in and do reading with the kids, etc., but all visitors need to check in with the office and any "in class" volunteering needs to be approved by the teacher and the principal.
I have found this a good thing in light of the world changing. Fathers have shown up in the past to get their child when a protection order had been filed and they were not allowed to have unsupervised visitation. Of course the mom would forget to inform the school and the kids would always run to daddy.
I have one child left in the elementary school, my older two have graduated and one will be a freshman in high school starting day after tomorrow. (Yay! can't wait to see that bus! :)) I have seen a lot of changes, both with parents and with policies. The staff at the elementary school know me by name, but I would never dream of picking up my child without checking with the office first. Every time I check in, the office staff says, "Oh hi! Go on up to the classroom." I still check in after 18 years.
These parents that interfere should be told to sign up for when volunteer help is needed in the classroom or other areas of the school. And only then. They need to stay out of it. If they're so worried about "little Bobby" and have so much time on their hands, they should home school and leave the teachers to do what they do best. I've been through 25 elementary school teachers and only had a problem with one who was finally fired.
No way is my dog allowed in my office.
I'm working in here, not entertaining my pet. I love him to death, but this is my workplace, not a hangout for my dog, my cats or my kids.
But I know what you mean. I miss my pup when I'm working. It was just too hard to deal with so he was banished from my office along with the 2 cats. Too much fur on the carpet for one thing and, like you, every time I got up, my dog thought it was time to play or go for a walk.
My only other suggestion is a "porta potty"? 
You are not allowed to work
more than 40 hours in a week; Sunday through Saturday; that is considered overtime and they will not pay you for overtime; you will get a WARNING.
If you work 40.5 hours one week and 39.5 hours the next, which equals 80 hours for the pay period, you are over and that is a NO NO.
Gladly would add a little here and there but you cannot without permission and after 40 hours for the week we are wiped out from switching from account to account to account, etc., etc.
No cherrypicking allowed here, but....
I know some reports do get shot back into the pool now and then. Luckily for me, they're nearly always LONG reports by my favorite dictators (ESLs are my specialty), so I don't complain at all. However, the rule here, which is hard to enforce, is that any skipped jobs or cherrypicking is grounds for being severely chastised for the first offense and immediate termination for the second.
IMO, why not just type it and be done with it???? Doing that takes less time than anything else, and time is $.
Are you allowed to work outside your sm
schedule to get in your line count if you can't get it done in 8 hours or do you automatically lose your benefits?
Sorry - did not realize I was not allowed to do that. Really, sorry..nm
nm
Not a mom, but mine allowed me when I was
My cats were allowed outside until...
I got tired of all the medical bills due to things they were picking up from other animals that were outside and were not being taken care of. The last straw was the last episode of worms, which were roundworms. Having kids, I cannot take the chance of them getting sick due to this. Also, I had a stray cat I fed all the time and took care of because the neighbor just left it when she moved, not to mention the fact that she didn't care for it while she lived there. We were moving and found someone who would take the cat, but only if he was fixed. We were going to fix him, but noticed his glands were very swollen. Turns out he had feline leukemia. I put him down, cried the whole time, and came home and buried him by myself while the kids were gone. I was soooooo angry. While my cats have their shots, that is a chance I am not willing to take. I have had my oldest cat for 11 years now and he is like a kid to me. I am very much for animal rights and go above and beyond to help animals in need, much to my husband's dismay, but there are times when not letting your animals outside is justified. My dogs are inside/outside dogs, but they cannot get over the fence....the cats can.
Venting is allowed. :o}
You go right ahead. I had a sweet ESL lady today. I actually liked her accent because she at least said all the syllables for me, but I could tell she was putting in an extra effort with certain words to help. It was so sweet of her. Wish the spanish accent dictators would do that for me, LOL.
We are not allowed to keep any patient sm
records on our computers, at all. They should be stored in the provider's files if they want to keep them for access.
I was not allowed to have both MQ and Precyse on my
nm
We are not allowed to put the patient's
name in a record and only "the patient" if dictated.
US should have never allowed it in the first place
for our records to be handled outside of the US. I think the terrorism thing is everywhere; as another poster said, we have had them here. This issue is about the US taking money out of our hands, then expecting us to work for beans AND improve a failing economy? Impossible. Hopefully at some point the people who can do anything about outsourcing (government) will realize this and bring MT and many other industries back where they belong.
is b.i.d. allowed anymore? sm
I'm not trying to be a smart a@@ but that BOS has me nuts, I thought they only allowed once a day, twice a day, etc., I'm confused. Do all companies go by the BOS or do they allow verbatim?
Where I work, we are not allowed to put
in patient names, but we do put in relatives' names. Sometimes it is important to know which relative is POA, contact, etc. and those are included.
When I first started we were not allowed
to put Expanders on their equipment. We were told it was grounds for termination. Not too long after they put expanders programs into all their computers. They realized that the work could get done faster with expanders. If they don't want you to use them DON'T. Let's see how long it will last when they are not getting their reports back fast enough.
Why is this being allowed to happen, isn't it eventually
If American workers are forced out of their jobs so foreigners can work for cheap, making the owners of these companies richer, what happens to consumption? The avg American is too poor to consume much, driving other American businesses into the ground. Soon it will be a monopoly, there will be no middle class, just poverty and the filthy rich making money off foreigners.
We are allowed to send up to 2 blanks SM
per job without having to route it to QA--I can't remember the last time I had to, it might have been about 3 months ago.
I am not allowed to say where I work on this board.
dd
Does anyone remember only being allowed to gas up on odd or even days sm
back in the 70s, depending on what number your license plate ended in? brrrrrrr long, long lines
So no one is allowed to have an opinion that differs from your own?
So immature, and showing such a lack of knowing how to argue a point effectively.
Thanks for the validation. After seeing other stuff allowed on
I wonder what is going on. Thanks again.
Just left a national that allowed that...sm
I sent an e-mail about this, along with my evidence, as well as a couple of other problems I was having. Unfortunately, the person who was my contact person or "leader" was the top cherrypicker, and the e-mail reply never addressed that issue!
I was just hired by a company that assigns you one doctor (with option to cross-train for sick, vacation, etc.) I think I'm going to be more productive this way.
