Worst types for me are oncology and ENT. Worst dialect
definitely Arabic, Indian, Pakistani. No problem with Asian though. Of course, warp speed, mush mouth American dictation can be the pits, also.
$11.50 correction
No need for the correction (sm)
I knew what you were saying. I don't blame you for not wanting to work for someone who wasn't HELPING you make your quota. You deserve to be somewhere that you are appreciated. Now if we could just figure out how to rub your work ethic onto some of these other people.....
No, never. And TY for the correction!

Correction
Sorry. Didn't mean to include ALL. I should have said....
MANY Christians re-write the meanings of these holidays.
Didn't mean to offend you.
Have a good day!
correction
duh, I apologize, I meant to start off saying, I am using....apologize for the grammatical error.
correction
Sorry, I mistyped...8/55 as to 9/65 (not 9/64)
Correction
should be thinks. Late when typing this.
Correction.....
No, they get paid for everything they do and a lot for what they don't do!!!
I too am sick of the hospital staff/administration cowardly standing in the corner, afraid to say anything to them, as if they are gods or something. I'll never forget one cardiologist who everybody dreaded but because he was a BIG admitter, meaning BIG BUCKS for the hospital, everybody just preached to the MT and kept their mouth shut to the problem.....the doctor!!
He had the gall to come through MR one morning and brought in a report, asking why a blank. Well, since the other MT (who he walked up to) sat there shaking in her boots, I turned around and let loose. It just all came out. I told him that we are human, we are not able to compute mumbling, chewing while dictating, four people in the room talking to you while you are dictating, laughing at a joke, yawning while continuing to talk, or other bodily functions which interfere with what we hear on the other end. I also told him that considering all this, he was lucky to have only one blank. Well, after he stood there a second and started at me, he sort of grinned in his cocky smirky way and said, "Well, anyone should be able to KNOW what I was saying", to which I replied to him that I was not psychic and it is not my job to guess at what he is saying; that guessing is not fair to the patient, now is it, since that is the MOST IMPORTANT thing we are here for.....the patient. Well, I guess he had nothing to reply to that, reminding him he was not the reason we were there but the patient was. He just shrugged and walked out. Never heard another word about blanks from that day on.
correction
if you have used Alt Q to make your blank, when you are at the end of the report, you should be able to use Alt Y to jump to your blank. Put your cursor at the top of the report, use Alt. Y to jump to your blanks. Saves a lot of time.
One correction in that...
in your second to last paragraph you said "How should BE pay for our food" and I think you meant "we".
Just might want to change that before sending it out to anyone else! But other than that very, very well written!!!
Yep...had an old doc who would always say, when making a correction (sm)
"Ummm, STENOGRAPHER, please change..." etc. Yeah, like I'm sitting here doing Gregg shorthand!!! Drove me nuts!
Also used to have one who loved to editorialize as he dictated...had a great sense of humor, tho', & I really enjoyed him. He'd always start off with "Hello Transcription!!!"
Sometimes I wish I had a tape of all the docs' bloopers to listen to on the days when I wonder why I do this for a living 
Correction! That should be No Whining

I should make a correction
I plan to stay in the MT field until it goes completely under, just can't do it full time much longer because of the hands. Thats why i'm considering other options. Thanks.

correction to below post
UGH... that would be in the field...sorry long day!
Are you one of the ones who gets made when you get a correction?

Ugh! Correction Reports!
Does your heart ever sink into your stomach when you look at your correction reports? I really don't make many mistakes, but just made 5 out of 31 reports on a particular account that I really want so badly to do perfectly! And 4 of them were doggone header things (how did I miss them?) GACK!!! I feel so dumb!!
Correction reports
Where I work, there's a new group of QAs, some of whom correct the reports without going according to the client specs. UGH!! It can make you sick if you let it. I finally gave up the frustration and suggested to my manager that I would not take those correction reports so seriously, as it's the monthly performance report that really matters. That's the one that I will check very closely.
Correction Client 1.6 is the new one (nm)

Correction: "Many", not "Most". nm
Just a correction, they are not nukes, they are explosives to see if they can SM
penetrate rock where nuclear weapons might be held. The notion that they are nukes is incorrect, and there will be no mushroom cloud.
see my note below, I made the correction.... - nm

When I worked in Meditech and did a correction,
the revision date and initial date of my correction following those of the first transcriptionist.
It is a Joint Commission requirement that a visible trail be placed on any corrections. There are rules if it is handwritten versus type printed. But which ever way you slice it, if the trail is not there, the facility can lose their accreditation. I was asked to do several files at a time by using a macro to search/replace. This request was by the VP of the company. I told her she knew what needed doing, obviously, picked up my coat and told her I was late for an appointment. If anything was changed, I was not going to participate it in. There is also a way to whistle blow on those who do the less than honest practices.
**It can be important (correction, no message)

just type your correction and hit 'change'.

correction: Barrett esophagus - NM
correction: "NOT ours", instead of "now ours".
Thank you for "pointing out" a correction on a typo I HAD ALREADY MADE
x
Yes, the correction part disappeared for counting ASR.
:
Correction - They will be flexible with HOURS/days, etc.
...rather than benefits.
Anyone who inputs information in a report - whether correction or not - SM
is supposed to put their initials at the end where the original transcripitionist's initials are.
U make no sense. If paid per correction, why

EXSpeech Nuance correction keystrokes
Editing questions- which Keystrokes actually corrects the documents in the Correction Client, therefore, correcting the terms to the future to that dictator. Does Ctrl D and transcribing the correction cause Correction Client to sit up and take notice. Can you block the text with Ctrl K, Ctrl J, Ctrl-Shift K, and Ctrl-Shift J and start transcribing the correction (will Correction Client see that). Thank you. 
Correction.......meant to say dedicated space...

Correction note to husband. Meant BILLS NOT AUCTIONS LOL
Freudian slip. Have to read whole post to get joke. LOL.
Just point out the errors and duck. No win situation QAing anyone. MTs hate correction.
Sad, but true, and sooooooooooooooooooooo depressing for those of us who QA. There is no nice way to point out errors - believe me, I've tried it all. Smiley faces - trying to be kind, humorous, self deprecating - nothing works if they are one of "those" MTs who just do not take correction at all. MTs either own their mistakes, or they freak.
correction: charge by PAGE, and keep track of long-distance of local numbers, as well as fax supplie

My MIL is the worst one too.
Her husband ignores her and every night they spend the evening with her in the breezeway watching some movie from 1950 and him watching porno in the living room. He makes perverted remarks at waitresses, comments about the physical attrributes of every woman he sees, has made their 30-year-old daughter's friends his "imaginary girlfriends" (has pictures of himself with just about all of them and even calls some of them "his girlfriend").
Needless to say his wife has no self esteem whatsoever after almost 40 years of this.
However, she puts up with it and never says a word to him about it. Then the nastiness comes out in other ways. She's passive aggressive, mean, angry, frustrated and takes it out on anyone she can, which is why I just keep my distance.
Miserable, dysfunctional people. 
MQ at its worst could never ever
match the underhanded and disgusting way MTs and Editor staff were/are treated at HIS. Colleen is a disgrace and the company is up for sale. Former managers and CEO are suing the place .. give you a clue? Run as fast as you possibly can away from Toledo!!
here's worst!!
whatever the complaint is... the patient will undergo bypass surgery!! 
What is the worst job U have ever had?
Mine was working at Wendy's - ARGH! I was always stuck on fries, and believe me when summer would hit that was NOT a good place to be - I used to come home dripping with sweat, smelling like french fries and burgers and my hair always looked severely deformed and greasy from those stupid caps we had to wear!  I never made the grade as an order-taker, I'm afraid. I used to HATE customers coming in cuz it just meant more work for meeee! 
Worst job. sm
The very worst job I ever had was working in a crab processing plant. Yep, blue crabs.
Now, top that! LOL
Worst Job
Was this school in Texas? I worked for one like that and quit after a couple of months. They would enroll the students, get all of the government money they could and then these people couldn't get a job if they wanted one after graduation. It was hard to even get them internships. I think the school was probably bought out for the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium that is going in - at least it was in the vicinity of that area - you could see The BallPark at Arlington or whatever the name of it is now from the school.
I need a car in the worst way
Anyone know the best place to start? My 1995 Bonneville has almost died on me. The car is in great cosmetic shape, but the new tires, fixing a window that won't roll down and putting a new air compressor (I think) is gonna cost me more than I think the are is worth... so I'm car shopping. I'd like a Maxima, Accord or Camry(a couple to three years old) for a good price but not sure where to get the best deal. Anybody have any recommendations?
Worst Job
Worst job I've ever had was working for a private practice radiologist who was just plain mean and nasty. In addition, he would have me put the new films on the board and clip the old films to the jacket but never even look at them. I figure he was doing this as a protective measure in case he ever got into trouble, etc. that I could vouch for him that those films were made available to him. And this guy was reading for a hospital who did gastric bypasses...reading serial chest films post-op!! I was glad to be out of there.
Those seem like they would be the worst
Whenever I hear stories about abused kids on the news, it takes me DAYS to get them out of my mind and not to dream about it. Completely and utterly heartbreaking.
One of the worst
Look elsewhere, reach archives.
The worst of the worst...sm
Horrible management, 90% ESLs with horrible sound quality, and recieved my last paycheck 3 weeks late with no response as to why. They gave me gray hair.
One of my worst was

Best and Worst
Best thing - You can pretty much choose your own schedule.
Worst thing - You have to deal with taxes yourself (which really isn't all that bad if you know what you should be paying quarterly).
