to ER/ED?  Is it just the steady diet that you object to?

Most accounts I've worked on have a pretty short TAT on ER notes, especially if the patient is being admitted, which may explain why their sorting system is giving them to you to do first. 

I once made the big mistake of agreeing to 'help out' on ERs and H&Ps on weekends (being a 'team player' and all)  and found that these reports were replacing everything else in my pool, every day of the week.  As long as there was one H&P or ER note, I never got to the juicier stuff.  I've always like psych, but this prevented me from getting any psych for weeks at a time.  Like you, when I complained I got no satisfactory answer and nothing changed.  This was one reason (but not the only one) why I did eventually leave that MTSO. 

would have been, just once, to type exactly what he said, down to every repetition.  Wouldn't if feel good do do that just one time?  I mean, it would be 'verbatim.'

Often I will go ahead and type both versions when someone keeps mis-speaking:  'The patient was brought to the ER by his friend, his girlfriend, his fiance.    He had onset of pain on Tuesday, or maybe Wednesday, Tuesday night or Wednesday morning....'  Hard to tell with some of these dictators what they are trying to change/add/subtract. 

So far there have been no QA repercussions over this.
