I'm not stupid and know how to configure the foot pedal.  Even though I had done everything to get it to work, I still followed the directions of your company and it still would not work.   I find it funny that one pedal doesn't work and one does, at least temporarily,  and yet it is "my issue" and not yours.  I have every e-mail and not once was it mentioned it was a software or computer issue.  I've even had my IT guy work with it and he said it just isn't compatible, that there is a switch issue in the pedal most likely. 

I'm through with this.  I'll file my complaints as stated above, but I have better things to do with my time than to continue this.   I stand by everything I have said.

See Below.  I copied these.  Please see the whole string.  I think it's on page three now, maybe two.  I split my side on this one.

Well, good morning "Frank" are you counting your piles of money?

penned in at the moment because of unethical practices of MQ,

but in essence you have "given" us to your competition. Your competition may have

been weakened by your siphoning off of MTs to work for MQ for a while

mostly because you became a monopoly, but with all the manpower

going to your broken competition and hospitals who are tired of being

manipulated with smoke and mirror business, see how good your name smells in

the medical field in about a year.

The resumes are flying like kites out there right now, can you see them?

Those are not clouds in your coffee those are your livelihood in the medical

field going up up up and away.

Enjoy your card game now. I think the slight of hand way of doing business

has just about seen its day.

Any company that cannot ever give how a line is counted and show

the method an MT is paid - so that the MT can double check her "billing" is

not an ethical institution. We don't work for the suprise we get in the bank at the end of 2 weeks of chasing work around your company, we work for the

money. We are business people just like you. You, MQ, would not do business without a clear contract and yet you have expected MTs to

work on a line count that is by YOUR FORMULA which you can't share! How insane is that?

Why, yes, yes I am! If you don't like my company, please move on! This company has been in business for many, many years and I intend to keep it that way. None of you little peon transcriptionists can do anything to change that. I want only positive and productive transcriptionists working for me, and sorry honey, but you do not fall into that category. If I am such a bad, bad man, then why I ask, do you take my money every 2 weeks in your paycheck? Good golly ladies, get a life and leave my company alone. I do have lots and lots of competitors out there so go see how happy you are with them, but I will tell you right now this door only swings one way so don't come crawling back a cryin' saying you had it too good here - as the saying goes, "you don't know what you got til it's gone." For some, I understand that it will take you leaving to find that out and to that end, I say good riddens, adios amiogos, farewell, and goodbye.

No need to fix your makeup - you look good either way, although I love it most when you wear your red lipstick - YUMMY. By the way, did you get your bonus I put in your check? You have been such an outstanding and dedicated employee and one that I truly respect. Keep up the good work. I have been doing my best to keep your work pool busy by taking the other fat and ugly people's work from them.

are Frank?

in Cairo through the University of California.  Long time ago.  I was with YOG, then stayed on after Medquist bought us out. 

I was just wondering what part of docshuttle is free?  I went to their web site and their fee is .20/minute (under 1,000 minutes of dictation) for the use of a 1-800 number for dictating, and then there are also start-up costs for each dictator, transcriptionist, and transcription administrator.  Isn't this the same as a TASP?"

what I was referring to was not DocShuttle Digital but  DocShuttle Administrator, Dictator and Client, whereas you set up your own FTP site and then use the combined software to have the doc upload dictation to the site, then you/your MT's download it, complete it, post it back to the ftp site, wherein your doc downloads the completed copy. You need to buy the software and Olympus recorders and perhaps a .wavplayer if you don't have anything yet, then you rent an ftp site for $45-$75 per year. You don't pay for phone lines because everything is transferred via internet.

 "Even with all the start-up fees and per minute charge, is this a better option than owning your own digital dictation system where you pay for the equipment and phone lines?"  Opinions vary on this but I feel it a pretty flexible system that will allow you to grow as big as you want. Downside is if doc wants to use phone for dictation instead of handheld recorder. Depending on the account, that might be when you want to use a TASP. 

You may email me if you wish. I will be happy to share my experience.

Don't worry.  It has been my experience being a Transcriptionist for a huge hospital that I loved the ER notes the most.  They are really pretty much abbreviated H&P's and are sometimes the most interesting reports of all.  Not nearly as difficult as some surgeries or discharges notes can be.  Simple and brief and sometimes a really good story.

I do two internal medicine Docs, SOAP notes only and minor procedures and love it  I also did other specialities, but all that was lost to outsourcing to INDIA!

I love doing OP notes. They are so interesting. Anyway there is a website that I use now and then and it is

www.mt911.com it also has samples.com on it and has alot of different samples.

Also a good reference book is The surgical word book by Saunders.

Hope this helps.

Any good sites for OP notes?

thanks Lori

Does anybody have any tips on the best places to specialize in op notes?   I need a place where I can do heavy volume ops -- not interested in basic 4 stuff.

Thanks.

Was wondering if anyone could help me out.  I need to see some example of different ways to set up chart notes.  If anyone knows of a place on the net i can view these of would send me some blanked out that would be great!!!!!

Thanks,

Jackie

would be a good place to start, either working as an IC/employee for a national or getting your own accounts.

Good luck!

I love doing op notes. They are very difficult though and i do recommend that you go into them slowly if at all possible. I was doing strictly clinic notes when I came to work here, but lost a girl that did the Op notes and we decided to send our clinic notes out to someone else and I started doing OP notes and other types of dictations. They are my fav.

Mostly clinic notes from my experience:

S - subjective

O - objective

A - assessment

P - plan

Yes that is correct they are chart or clinical notes.  The dentist that I used to work for liked the charts written up in that fashion.

S- subjective

O- objective

A- assessment

P- plan

I may sound dumb, but what is a SOAP note??

Do you mean that they are written notes or are they on a dictaphone system??  I am just wondering why you would need someone close by?  bj

I have that problem once in a while and my doc and I got into an argument about it once. I knew he didn't dictate the notes, but he kept telling me he puts a check mark on the notes he does dictate. 

I've been with this doc since 1995 and I have a phone in system, so if he dictates them, they're transcribed. If he doesn't dictate them, then he didn't do them.

Well, for how busy he is, if he put the check mark on the note PRIOR to dictating, then gets called away for a patient or starts to fall asleep while dictating (which he has done already), it could very easily be overlooked. What aggravates me is that he makes me type Re-dictation on any notes he says he did before but didn't.

Also, I have found that since the last secretary left, there aren't as many "missing notes" as before. Hm-m-m-m. That tells me something. I can understand if I put a blank for the patient name (no list to follow and if it's a new patient or can't understand Speedy Gonzalez, then those notes could very well be thrown away if they can't verify the patient.

I don't print the notes or hand deliver them anymore. We use PCAnywhere, and the notes are in one file with the dates of the notes dictated, which I transfer directly to his computer, so they print them out on their end. I have the notes and so do they, so if they are missing a note, all they have to do is check their files to see if that note is there. If not, then he didn't do it.  End of argument.

This has worked out great for me, but for you, well, I'd think twice about keeping a job with that much aggravation. Find another account.
