Strange, really strange response. NM

Thanks because that was really annoying ! nm


Oh yes. It is very annoying to say the least. sm
I take a lot of breaks during the day and go outside to get fresh air. I actually think the anxiety is what is causing the heart palpitations. I have a prescription for Xanax, which I cannot take and work, but I do use it at night before bed on a very infrequent basis.
yes really annoying
equipment, moaning patients, laughing and talking nurses, barking dogs, and children crying or trying to get mom or dad's attention (stop that, I'm dictating!) funniest one was an announcement over the loudspeaker about a pizza delivery to the nurse's station.
it's really annoying
happens quite a bit.   I do get the credit though I put in a note that says dictator did not complete report but I still get paid for what I typed.
that would be annoying....
guess there is job security after all.
very annoying
I have an RN who dictates I have a problem with this chart.  She also gives lab values and then says No, I don't like those lab values, just delete them. . It's very annoying and also, what does it mean? How can you not like the lab values. . . Just a little irritated this morning. . sorry to vent. .
annoying
It is just annoying to get your speed up on an account and get used to the dictator and then they go and quit giving you that work for a little while and then they want you to do it again. So wishy-washy. I don't get it. It seems like it would be easier on the company to put you somewhere and leave you.
annoying
Something that bugs me to no end is when dictators use the word "nor" constantly and incorrectly.  grrrrrr..... 
Annoying!
I have one female provider who sounds like she is sucking on a lozenge the whole time. Worse than that, one doc clicks his pen over and over while I wait for him to say something (which is usually impossible to understand anyway).
ugh. baldwins are annoying now.
fat and bloated.
annoying dictator
Here's a good one; 7-1/2 minute dictation, first minute put on hold, then dictator dictates for two minutes, then says, Never Mind, Lets start this ALL OVER.  And they wonder why we are tense
Annoying dictator
If you are being paid by the line, I sure would dispute this! They have no idea, do they?
Do you ever get that annoying *bubble*

in your ear?  I have one in my left ear today and I can't get it to go away.  You know, when you talk and you can hear yourself really LOUD!  I have tried popping my ears....I tried irrigation....I thought I may have had water in it from my shower this morning, but nope.  It's driving me nuts and has made it very difficult to hear on that side today.  Does anyone have any tips on getting it to go away?


 


Annoying crickets sm
You know, I love summer with the sounds of birds and all that, but this cricket outside my window is driving me absolutely batty.  GRRR. 
ok now I see it - extremely annoying. NM

Management again. SO annoying.....
Gaaa
Yes!! About 10 days for me. Very annoying.

annoying doctor
I have to say you gave me my first good laugh today. I have had doctors fall asleep and say, well, you know my routine, but just let me know if you cannot figure it out.
Oh golly, that must be frustrating and annoying.
maybe you can make a game for yourself of second-guessing the QA folks. It sounds like they are the kind of ill-informed people who would rather cling to their ignorance like grim death than open their minds and learn something useful. If you look at figuring out their foibles as a game, maybe it won't rankle so much.
So annoying to get a good debate going, and then it's gone.

How annoying. What is it with the flaky factor?

Not transcription related but I am trying to get volunteers to help with a big community theater project and I don't know how many times I get the "oh yeah I will definitely be there blah blah" and I end up with mostly no-shows!!! I mean I know it's volunteer but why lie? If they don't want to, just $%#^ SAY SO..  Can't imagine people doing that to a real job, what idiots. 


Put annoying redundants in your expander...sm
and at the end of your pay period, count them and either aggravate yourself or LYAO all the way to the bank!
extremely annoying LOL I just did one today where the doc kept using the first name or the middle
None of which was spelled.  Wish they would make up their minds sometimes.  It would be funny (I was getting a little giggle out of it at the time I typed it) if it weren't so frustrasting at the same time.  Have a good one! :)
RE: I think they should send Paula home - she is so annoying........

annoying nomatter how you slice it - so true

What is your most annoying redundant speech pattern? sm
You how doctors always seem to have a pet word? They will use it until you are ready to smack them.

Subsequently. Said by an ESL at least once in every sentence and pronounced sub see QUEENT ly. He is also says Prolene mess potch and plook for mesh patch and plug.

Next...next this, next that, next, now I...

At this moment. Did you know you can start every sentence in a 2-page report with at this moment?

then
then
then

and THEN I screamed and was heard in the halls of every hospital in America.
New nominee for most annoying doctor today s/m
This guy is walking on the treadmill while he's dictating, so not only is he so scatter brained he doesn't know what he's talking about, I get to enjoy the heavy breathing.
these boards allow you to "backhand" annoying people so you don't take it out on your famil
and don't be arguing with me today. you know i'm right.
I have one who yawns a lot. Kind of annoying but I guess he's just tired! (nm)
nm
Yeah, really! What an annoying, obnoxious, bottom-feeder she is!
Star sucks, bubbye loser!
In it to lesson annoying contact with the management species.
;p
His/her posts are annoying to you, becasue he/she knows more than you and beats you, admit it....nm

I hate shopping. I do mine on-line and avoid the annoying crowds.

strange...

I have to say I go with the rudeness.  This industry is falling apart.  Poor management runs rampant.  I have encountered the same thing as you have.  Once in a blue moon, I will run in a recruiter or manager who is on the ball and actually returns phone calls.  Most of the time, they act like you should feel blessed if they deign to call you back. 


I too am in search of intelligent management/MTSO. 


 


Do you think it is strange that
a father would take a bath with his 2 year old daughter and not see anything wrong with that? Or is it me?
Yes! Very strange! and even if it were the other way around
a mom and her 2-year-old son it would be just as strange.

There is just no need and absolutely no reason for it other than...well you know the answer to that...it's in your gut instinct already.
That's strange...
I don't see where anyone was rude to her.  Everyone has given her excellent advice!
That is strange

Patti, I wonder if that MT might be just using all letterhead so that is all that needs to be ordered, so they do not have to order matching paper for second pages. However, IF that were the case, I would assume the letterhead page would cost the doctor more, so that may be a way to present it as well to the doctor once you take over the account completely since $ talks for most of these docs. :D Also, if I understand you correctly, some reports are being done on letterhead that should be on plain paper and, if so, that is a real waste of money for the docs! I am with you - I have never seen anyone do that in my life. It is not only incorrect but, as I said, may actually cost more for the letterhead paper.


I was told on one account I work for that there are a couple words that I should divide/hyphenate that technically are one word. I was told that they wanted all the words  consistent that begin with this same prefix as some are divided/separated; however, some are not, and it is not correct, and I just can't force myself to do what I know is wrong! I guess if I were to told "do it my way or else", then I would. Otherwise, I am doing it correctly. :)


BTW, congrats on landing the new account and best wishes!


I don't think that is strange at all....

the harder the work, the more money it pays.  That makes sense to me, if you have work that you HAVE to get done.


No, there's others. But it's strange, I almost took a job there too.

Wow, I guess I'm just destined to have to put up with it.  I'm so scared about it though.


Strange
That is really strange.  I have no idea why that would be happening.  They must not pay for spaces or something.  I would ask the company she works for.  Sorry, I'm not much help.
Very strange
I just began filling out an application to a transcription service advertising on another MT forum.  Halfway down the application page it is asking for my social security number.  There is no way in (you know where) I am giving that out.  I find this a bit shady if you ask me.  Why do they need my SS#?
strange
Well I have to agree with you there. That was strange. That is so rude to start firing questions off at you when she is the one that should be answering the questions. I mean I could understand after you were done with your questions her asking a couple things she was interested in knoweing. But that is strange. And then tell YOU I will let you know in a couple days. I think you made a wise decision against using her to fill the position.
That would be really strange
I can't imagine any computer sold now that didn't have more than 1 USB port; Looking at all the old computers laying around here, I've got an old laptop that's about 10 years old that only has 1. Are you sure there isn't a batch of USB ports on the front? If you really are total computer newbie, you might be mistaking the internet input for a USB port. If you truly only have 1 USB port, I suggest you immediately invest in a hub. Speaking for myself, I use a port for my keyboard, a port for my mouse, and a port for my footpedal. Then you get into accessories- my camera requires a port, my printer needs a port, and my jump drive gets a port. There's other stuff that I don't use quite as regularly. I can't imagine a new computer with less than 4 ports.
I think it is strange
that dictators don't ask for feedback. If I were dictating, I would let the transcription company know that I wanted feedback regarding anything I could to to be more effective. And there are those who HAVE to know that they make it very difficult. That's pathetic if you ask me.
Is it just me, or is this strange?
Today, I had a doc, under family history, include the medical history of the family dog. It wasn't anything contagious or anything like that. He even reported on when the dog gets his yearly physical exam and immunizations. Strange..
A little strange, yes...
... I had an overly-detail-oriented dictator once who discussed the bowel habits of the patient's dog.

Only thing I could think of was, if it was on the patient's mind, then the doc figured it was part of the entire "holistic" picture, if you will. And since I was being paid on production, I wasn't gonna argue that it was a waste of time.... Although I once asked him, to his face, why use one word when ten will do? (He didn't quite get it.)
you are asking strange questions
I don't post anything that is not true!  Guess I'll have to sound like it was back in the 60's with Nixon......I have a very reliable, high level source in the company, that is all I can say....    PLUS the account is small enough, and the number of transcriptionists covering the account is small enough that when your job numbers jump by over 100 from one report to the next and all you get are the "bad" dictators I would hope even you would realize that something is going on, don't you? 
Seems kinda strange,
if it is just for 911 purposes, it could be so that emergency personnel could have several contact numbers in case of an emergency.  However, I've moved 6 times in the past 8 years, and I've never had to give that info out for any of my utilities.
Strange but true:

You may want to be careful when you criticize a company, because your remarks may have the opposite effect from what you intended.  I work for a relatively small MT service. Some time ago, we had a lady work for us who, for whatever reason, was angry when she left and said whenever she saw our company name mentioned on any of the message boards, she would say negative things about us... and she did. But here's the interesting part - inevitably, shortly after each time she has flamed us, we've had an increase in job applicants - people saying they've heard of us on whatever message board her remarks have appeared on. As a result, we've hired several really good transcriptionists.  Not exactly the effect she intended, but we're all pleased with the way this has turned out.
