Of course you were saying 1400 is low - if you think 2000 is "average" then of course 1400 would be low.
I wasn't calling anyone a liar on this board - I merely said I had a hard time believing people consistently make 2000 or more lines.
There are so many variables in MT jobs. Some of work at large teaching hospitals where we get exclusively REsidents, NPs, PAs, most of whom are unorganized, tired, distracted while they dictate. They have long pauses - like 2 mins or more - several times in their dictation. I cannot type lines to dead air.
I never get to do OPs because they outsource those to the Service. I do HP, COnsults and Discharge Summaries - almost everything I do is stat work and because it is a huge tertiary hospital, they need things now to send the pt on their way, or to have things ready for the consultants.
And BTW, I have over 4000 entires in my Expander - but when you seldom get the same dictator twice and you have 30 min jobs that actually only have 18 mins of dictation in them, there is no way you can produce 2000 lines.
SO , you don't need to look down your nose at the rest of us. We know how to use Expanders but so much of production depends on the platform and the dictation, that the # of lines produced does not indicate that you are a "better" MT who needs to condescend to the rest of us.
