Autodialing- they told me it was a number called constantly and you are supposed to be voice to voic

LOL.. I have one that spells Lyrica every time, even more than once in a dictation!

The so-called "reality show" is the lowest form of so-called entertainment in recent years
I hate them. They've ruined TV.
You tell it like it is -- constantly being
asked to take on a new account -- causing me to lose money -- but makes mgmt "love" that supervisor of mine, thereby getting a big bonus/raise for HER.
Have a doc who does this constantly...
makes me physically ill! YUCK! WHATAPIG!
I have one that constantly says
'and' after every sentence. If I actually transcribed it like she said, the whole document would be one run-on sentence.
I have a doc who constantly
and I mean constantly uses the word "actually". The patient now actually feels better and actually has not been taking the meds even though actually etc etc
Drives me nuts !
This CONSTANTLY happens to me!
I'm almost to the point where I dread that people are going to ask what I do for work, because the minute I tell them what I do and that I work from home, all of the questions come flooding in! So many people think that they can just do it! I worked in the medical field as an EMT before going to school for MT, and I still was overwhelmed with all of the new terms and drugs that I had never even heard of when I first started! It just amazes me that people with no experience in the medical field whatsoever think that they can just sit down at a computer and do it with no problems! It makes me laugh because they just have no idea what they would be getting into!
constantly saying
as well as
Yet YOU constantly bring this up.
YOU are doing exaactly what you are complaining about. Give it up. People come here to talk. That is what an open forum is all about. No one is forcing you to stay on this board and read, nor do they expect or want you to reply if you don't want to. You are the one who needs to give it a rest. Talking is what this board is all about. You are not going to stop that. If it bothers you, stay away. Thank you.
Any other MTs deal with this constantly?
Doctor dictates report, then a few dictations later, "this is a correction to a previous report..." which is full of stuff which was left out of the report, wanting to change the report, or adding new findings. We have to go back into the original report, do the changes, save (and hope it really saves), exit and then submit the new report. This is frustrating enough, but try training on it!!! Anyone ever train on an account with this crap from doctors going on?! If so how do you manage without tearing your hair out? All advice welcome.javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
My son, who is 14, most definitely YES! He is constantly whining to me about being bored, but...
my daughter is starting Kindergarten this year and she is my baby and my last and I am going to be a blubbering fool probably the entire first week of school!
I am constantly connected to internet, during
s
There are a few terms I am constantly misspelling...
I make a shortcut so when I type it my (wrong) way it is "expanded" to the correct spelling. 
I am constantly getting the beeping sound
as when I hit a key, it doesn't register in Meditech, beeps are coming from my office all day. Some days are better than others. Defrag and cleaning disk helps. Also, it seems that during weekends and odd hours, it is faster.
This program has driven me nuts. There are others who do not complain about it and others who have it worse. That part is a mystery to me.
If I were paid for every keystroke I used getting through Meditech including getting in and out of documents, I'd be a wealthy woman.
We got an updated set of account guidelines constantly
put somewhere different than it was last week, they'd tell us to change something and when we changed it they sent it back and told us not to change it anymore. They blamed things on us that weren't even anything we do, like if someone was on vacation and a report didn't get sent to the right place. People started to get threatened with termination (not me but I know people who were) for even the most miniscule reason like forgetting to sign off a doc as a DO instead of an MD. They were just unreasonable bullies and the more they complained and fussed the more Diskriter management bowed to their every wish and created a monster. Good luck if you end up there. It could have been a nice account if this nonsense had been nipped in the bud.
Make 12 cpl but constantly rewinding, going in/out of fields
If you can utilize speed typing engines, have same docs, the format is user friendly, it is possible, in the long run, to make as much as I do at 12 cpl.
I think you should try it for two weeks and consider that after three months you will be twice as fast due to familiarity.
Remote 008Keylogger found constantly on my spyware.
Everytime I log onto the server for the company I work for I run my spyware. Everytime I open a job lately I have re-run my spyware and it seems to me that "008remote keylogger" is constantly on my PC. This spyware enables the "server" to see everything I type, every email, and where I go on my internet. Would anyone else be concerned?
YES my pitbull is doing this constantly. Was in the middle of an HUGE file and
i didn't pay attention to where i was. She came under the desk (she is scared of EVERYTHING) and sat on it. I got her out and started listening and I was like OH CRAP ... had to figure out where i was!!
Stay way from Penny Talk - you will constantly be disconnected..sm
It was nothing but a big mess. Everytime I tried to pound off a job, it would disconnect me, and then charge me the 69 cents to reconnect, which I ended up doing about 50 times a day. Not an option for any MT. I have always used Vonage and have had no problems. If all else fails, stay with onesuite.com until you can find a permanent unlimited long distance plan. Good luck!
Unless she has animals that constantly snag on the carpet or intentionally sm
dig their claws into the carpet, I have to beg to differ with you on the berber carpet. We LOVE ours. Have had it for 7 years with 3 cats, 4 dogs (not all at once) and we don't have any snags! I'm serious. I'm not sure what grade of carpet you are referring to, but we have not had any problems with our Berber. I also think it cleans very well with a steam cleaner once every 6 months or so. Our Berber still looks new with all of these pets we've had.
So, I do recommend Berber, though it is pricey.
There are a lot of other durable things on the market that she can look for and afford but I just had to say something about Berber because we just love ours.
I have a doctor that constantly has a gurgling voice. It makes me...
want to clear my throat or at least yell and tell him to clear his throat. It is so annoying. I know if I had a gurgle I would at least clear my throat. It sounds so disgusting. Ew!
Funny, but I constantly see posts of newbies lamenting...
that they cannot get a job because they have no experience. There is no guarantee no matter what school you go to that you will have a job after you cross the finish line.
I beg your pardon. I have elderly relatives in nursing homes who are constantly in and out of
hospitals. The elderly especially need our reports to be ACCURATE, as nobody gives a hoot to "talk" about them, let alone doctors getting to actually know and remember patients. EVERYTHING about their acute care in hospitals is taken FROM THE PAPER MEDICAL RECORD, and also when they get bumped back to the nursing home. The caretakers take ALL info from the transfer sheet. Reality check for those who need help most - elderly who cannot rattle off their histories themselves.
AAMT constantly changes the rules every time they have a new edition of their BOS to sell.
They've been taking advantage of MT's for years and have no shame. I want no part of it, and never have.
It's time we all called NJ. I called
They can't provide anything in writing.
Nobody knows anything - keep telling you to call your supervisor.
I smell something worse than New Orleans coming from NJ.
One of my PAs constantly rides the microphone, click, fuzz, missing word, chew, click,
I think all new mts should be called
mt wannabe (that's me) I wannabe, but feel like I will never get this down ever.... my job is so hard that my day is such a breeze !!!!!!
he just called nm
nmn
I called them
with my complaints and filed an Employee Complaint form but they say that there are no problems, they are only getting isolated complaints -so EVERYONE who has a complaint needs to call them and follow up with a filed written Employee Complaint.
seems to me if he called YOU, he should already know your name...sm
just my opinion. I hate these calls and mostly never answer until it becomes three or four times a day, then I answer and I am not nice. they usually do not call back after that. It has been relatively quiet around here for a while now...knock on wood. lol
Can you tell me what else it's called please?
That might explain why I didn't get such good results on my search.
that's called....
the old bait and switch!! They ALL do that! :(
They are called.....sm
They are referred to as non-word utterances. And if you want to belong to a forum that is not just MT, I own one at Google Groups called the Legal, Medical, and General Transcription forum. The URL is http://groups.google.com/group/Legal-Medical-General-Transcription?hl=en
Yes, I have what are called
Druscens and I do not see them, only can be seen with the lamp exam physician does. These can be started on macular degeneration. My vision is excellent but knowing what I do, make sure I take eye vitamin, eat leafy greens, no smoking and wear sunglasses out always.
You called her? LOL.
x
Have you called your QA to ask about it?
x
That was not called for.
Your are totally wrong for berating this person the way you did.
I was called....sm
but called and told them I was sick. I wasn't really but how do they know? I have other things to do.
I called about it . . .
and had information sent to me. From the commercials I thought it was a non-invasive procedure, but it is very similar to a traditional facelift. They do say the incisions are smaller, so healing is quicker. They also say the scars are less noticible. The before and after photos look incredibly good to me. I'm still considering it, and if I wasn't such a chicken I might just do it.
Have you ever just called a
business and just interviewed them before you applied so they could interview you? Does that make sense.? I may have an in-house transcription job. They told me that everything was looking in my favor, but they are still interviewing and will let me know for sure Friday. They offered a pretty good wage and I would take it but if I can find something closer to home even if a little less pay I would go for that too. I have been looking into businesses that have nothing to do with transcription. I am thinking about calling the local banks and seeing if there are any entry-level positions available for data entry, administrative assisting, clerk. I don't have an accounting degree of business degree, just extensive computer knowledge that transcription requires. I really don't know what to ask for to tell the truth. The local banks never advertise for help but I do see new people in there from time to time.
I have also been looking to get my CNA certificate renewed which I may just do. I was going to call the nursing homes here and see what the starting pay would be, what the patient/aide ratio is, what the hours would be like.
To tell the truth, I am not making it with these home jobs. I have already been through 3 companies. I never had a work history like that before. Before I came home, I stayed with 1 place for 8 years, then another place for 6 years before that. I hate jumping around and most of all, I hate babysitting my computer for work. I want 8 hours then be done.
just called the bank and
Yeah, they called me twice
not possible to block a "100" number and that is all there is. It is weird.
Here it's called Transcam (sm)
Do a search at the top of the board. You'll get plenty of information on their scam.
Isn't that called profit
They charge the hospital more than they pay us.... yes.....don't understand what is supposed to be bad about that. It's called profit. As far as calculating the lines differently for the MT versus how they count them for the hospital for billing, there is nothing illegal about that and there is nothing that says they have to calculate the lines the same way.
well, they called me yesterday, but (sm)
I wasn't here. So, she left a message, stating that if I had any questions regarding the new plan, I could call them back. I aint even gonna bother...just see what happens when it happens. But, if anyone else does talk with them, I'd love to know what they have to say! Good day all! 
I called ATT and they told me to get the
AllDistance plan for $40/month. Is this what I want? I asked for unlimited business LD. Also, does anyone know if they would have 'red-flagged' our #? I mean, we had ATT initially and were kicked off for using the personal ULD for dictation and we switched to MCI. So would ATT have noted this and then not let us have the business ULD? I appreciate all the help, ladies!
It's called ENABLING
nm
Have you called the teacher? sm
Over the years I've had to e-mail and talk on the phone to my child's teachers. If you don't have the teacher's number or e-mail, you could probably call your child's school and get the information. If the teacher is worth his/her salt, they would probably be happy to help you out.
I just called my office and was
told there was nothing on every single account. No work at all this whole weekend she said probably. Nada, nothing, zip.
It's called eloping........sm
When you have 7 or 8 patients at night you can't possibly physically watch all of them at once. If you're in a room with a patient who is going bad or in the middle of a complicated dressing change, you can't watch the hall.
With all of the budget and staff cuts at the hospital where I work, I could very easily see where a patient could walk off the floor and out of the hospital. There is one security guard at the entrance to the hospital and if s/he is in the bathroom or dealing with an issue away from the desk, well, it is very possible a patient could just walk right out.
My question to you is: where were the family members? We ask that a family member stay with the patient if the patient is confused. You need a doctor's order for restraints, and patients are not tied up these days because they wander.
Tired RN.
