Not obvious to me. Not all well-compensated MTs are in management.
They're just good at their job. Not hard to understand.
Another management reply. Pretty obvious, huh?
:/
It's quite obvious from your post that you have never suffered....sm
from depression and I take it from your moniker that you are a man, which explains a lot. Please refrain from commenting on things you obviously know NOTHING about.
Sorry but I believe this post HAS to come from management
When people are sick they are sick. If anything, in these very bad economic times with many more daily without insurance, people who finally go for medical care are much sicker because they have not been able to afford health care that they could afford if they had insurance. Therefore, does it not stand to reason that MORE and not FEWER patients would be admitted because by the time they see a physician they are likely in need of hospitalization whereas a trip to the doctor's office might have been sufficient earlier. I personally know quite a few who fit into this category.
As for doctors taking vacations....is this something they just started doing? Never affected record documentation before. Usually doesn't even affect any work load. Doc #1 takes a vacation (might be a slow down with HIS dictation for a week or so.) Doc #2 takes a vacation and Doc #1 has returned. He is playing catch-up for dictation and seeing patients. Doc #3 goes and Doc #2 returns. Get it?
As for the "excuses" from Q.A. they are passing out what they are told to pass out by management, nothing more and nothing less. Maybe as my young granddaughter tells me..."Meme you need to quit drinking so many diet Cokes, they make you get forgetful." I dunno, maybe she has a point and maybe MT Management and Q.A. are all drinking too many diet Cokes...or maybe they ought to drink a few more. They are playing some of you folks for fools.

Should it be "life cycle management" or "lifecycle management"?
Having a debate at work.
AS USUAL
x
The usual (sm)
eggs, rabbit, all that good fertility stuff. Why o why do you assume everyone celebrates the same Hallmark holidays in the same benefit-the-American-manufacturer way that you do?
I don't think so...no more than usual anyway
Our system is back up at MQ, and we have the largest backlog in MQ history. So apparently...it didn't go anywhere.
*a little longer than usual...

PIZZA, it's the usual.

What is YOUR USUAL English?...sm
the SLANG English?
Unfortunately, this is business as usual - sm
I was a lab supervisor in Pathology for many years. I watched my lab downsize from 27 people to 7 in 5 years, all because of the almighty dollar. We still had to do ALL the work that 27 people used to. They kept the best and hardest-working, and showed the door to the rest. In our economy, this is the reality of business now. Through the years I have learned to accept this. My only option is to find a new employer and hope that the new job doesn't go the way the other did, but the reality is, it will. So I have to continue to adjust if I want to make it financially. I am a long-divorced mother of 3, have a good work ethic, and by God, I WILL make it! It's sad that we have to work harder just to make the same money, or even less, but this is not a phenomenon unique to our careers. Everyone else is feeling it, too. I feel the responsible thing to do is to provide the services demanded by my employer or seek employment elsewhere.
Usual ratio is 3:1 of dictation, so 2-1/2 to 3 hrs NM

Are you sure it is a google ad? It's where the usual paid ads
are but it might be a Google ad. Maybe it is a yahoo ad. I am looking at a yahoo ad now up there. Google ads are smaller but I guess I have never seen yahoo ads that I paid attention to.
It's RAINING here in San Francisco, as usual!
So far in April we have had only 2 sunny days. In March we had 27 rainy days. It's getting ridiculous!
Work as usual on holiday - sm
As an IC, if I can find time, I will work as usual on a holiday. Being an IC means you kinda need to fulfill your client's needs. So, if they need me to work a little extra or work on the holiday, I will do my best to meet their needs. Sometimes, I can not, but most times I will do what they need.
Mind you, I have my own clients, not an MT company. It is my philosphy that I need to keep my clients happy and exceed their expectations in fulfilling their needs or they will look somewhere else for my services.
Hope this helps you, even if in a small way.
I would like to say, it is an adjustment going from employee to IC. Some need to change their way of thinking and start thinking like a "business" owner. It is not just a job, but your business and your career.
Another assumer, as usual wrong!
By the way you sign in, MTmom, hmmmmmmmm sounds like the ones I have been talking about, trying to supermom it and work and complaining all the time. If you had read the post above mine, the person stated MTing was boring as sin and yet saying I was whining? I lead now the most perfect existence I could never have imagined and it has taken me years to get to where I am in life. Everyone should be so blessed! Oh by the way, what a really bad thing to do is to call another human ignorant. I just let Karma handle things like that. I am saying what I read here all the time and if you are offended, then you probably are one that the shoe fits.
Need alternative to usual Labor Day cookout
We are having a family get-together on Labor Day. We usually grill hamburgers and hot dogs, but I was trying to think of something different this year. Any suggestions? There will be young kids there, so it would have to be something they could enjoy as well. Thanks!
Right as usual Hayseed! And what about British dialects - sm
such as a strong Cockney accent compared to upper-crust Londoners.... it's like a different language. Every country in the world has similarities in their respective languages as well. Has less to do with color than it does social class, location, education (or lack thereof), etc.
blame the victims as usual shame on you
Profession has turned into a prodution line and its the MTs themselves that are turning it into that, not the MTSOs.
Just the usual clerical crud that temp companies have. nm

Ditto. Go to hospital. Not usual symptoms for a migraine. nm

The usual green grass and blue sky that looks like the Teletubbies backdrop. :) nm

Seems like usual holiday slow-down period. Should pick back up this week or next. nm
Oh yeah, I did 2800 lines last Thurs and I had 10,500 for week to my usual 8K sheesh I'm a

Might be obvious but who is SE?

maybe you need a man because of your obvious
That's obvious-we all used to be something
but we don't make posts with our former titles. Get over it..
its you and its very obvious
Well then its obvious that you don't have much
faith in your children nor your parenting skills if you have not taught them how to make decisions for themselves.
It is obvious
they don't care. It is not only cardiac docs either.
Thank you, Dr. Obvious...
Doctor dictates:
"The patient takes Doxepin for insomnia. He has been taking 25 mg four of them at time, but I am prescribing 100 mg tablets which is the same."
This just made me giggle...
OK, now it's obvious to me...
could be wrong, but it seems that they are paying you ONLY after they get paid. That means you are at the mercy of the accounts payable department of the hospital... I never work for an MTSO when MY payment is tied to THEIR payment from their clients.
This may be obvious, but...
I am pretty sure that she was referring to the manner in which her very unsupportive post was worded, i.e. "a REAL transcriptionist". How in the world is that helping someone who is coming here for a little bit of help and, dare a person aspire for, a kind word... anyway, just mho.
Let's take a moment to put ourselves in her shoes instead of trying to think of a way to boost our own ego. Perhaps the place in which she worked had a different style, a different format. I even have done some recent work for a hospital who wants all of their references to the spinal disks spelled disc (even though this is specifically a no-no with AAMT). I'm not an expert, but if there were a helpful thing that I could think of to say, it would be to buy of borrow a current AAMT Book of Style (3rd Edition) and make sure that you are all up on your format and style. Anyway, good luck!!
It is so obvious
that some of these docs do not have the first idea what they are going to say when they dial in. They have not bothered to organize their thoughts or mentally outline what they intend to dictate. They just 'wing it,' go back and add, delete whole paragraphs, then maybe say virtually the same thing as the deleted section somewhere else. I've learned never to delete but to cut sections just in case they get pasted back in someplace else.
One guy in particular says things like: 'Put temperature was 98.3 degrees and say BP was 130/70 and write respirations were 18 and could you say weight was 225 pounds, and like, he was sort-of short of breath?'
How do you verbatim that? Dude! I'm not you pal and we're not having a conversation here. Do you realize I'm supposed to be transcribing EVERY SINGLE WORD YOU SAY?
Do you have any clue what they are up to. It is obvious they are up to something.
I just hope everyone is calling Corporate.
sorry for your obvious hairball. nm

It was such an obvious question
I am sorry but it was such an obvious question at least to me and kind of reminded me of a Jeff Foxworthy song/routine. They mail their payments to you where your business headquarters or your AP/AR is located. It is like your car insurance you drive in California but your insurance headquarters are located in Arizona so where do you mail your check??? Or the MT's that work in a different state, where do you send those checks? It just struck me ironic that someone who was thinking of doing what you are venturing out to do would have such a basic question to ask. Struck me as a little weird. And yes I have been an MTSO for 18+ years now. Good luck to you and I hope your accounts follow you with your move and you are able to pick up more accounts wherever you move. You might be the next big national and then you can come back and really let us have it. Again, good luck. Patti
It is SOOOOO obvious who you are
And it was so obvious last night who you were as you were posting with different names about what you were "eating". Please.
I am NOT starting flames. I was trying to let the OP know that not everyone on this site is mean and nasty. This place has really become a hole in the wall since you started frequenting the joint. Makes me wonder why I waste my time.
Obvious what 1 requirement is...
Obvioulsy one of the requirements of becoming an MT is rudeness and being quick to judge! I was just asking for suggestions and what being an MT entailed. In no way did I suggest that I had any idea about what MT requires of a person. Sheesh!
I know if someone posted on the engineering forums I am a part of I would be more than happy to give them suggestions on how to get started, different paths they could take, ect. Then again, I like to impart my experience so maybe I can help others learn from my mistakes so they don't have to make the same ones.
Obviously MTs work from home for a reason - seems that most of you don't work well with others!! Only 1 person actually took my post for what it was and told me their experience!! That's a real shame.
Obvious that law was written by men
Do they think that because we have breasts we can't drive correctly? OMG.
This is especially upsetting, seeing as most females who are getting permits are teenage years and breast cancer is not so common in that age range.
As an aside, a friend of mine had to go in for a mammogram a while back. Her insurance company refused to pay for it. Said it was not a necessary exam because she is "not old enough to need a mammogram". Her doc found a lump and wanted the test. Why is this not necessary?
I should think the answer would be obvious. They will take less money. nm

dictator just stated the obvious
"ORAL tobaccoism" -- like what other kind is there !!
oh i suppose it could be cutaneous via patch, but sounded dumb...
It's obvious she didn't mean cases
that actually required ER attention. You are just stirring the pot.
the overstating the obvious award goes to
gotta love residents - "the left lower extremity part of the physical exam could not be performed due to a left lower extremity amputation."
So true. Or an obvious misspelling does not
x
This is such an assinine remark, obvious you
x
IMO, a thread is closed when it is obvious
that nothing new is added to the OP and it deteriorates into a 'troll', unjustified insults, foul language and just tit for tat, going in circles.
True, as the moderator pointed out, it is not moderated for 'niceness.' but the post has to be civil. One can make a stronger point with politeness than with disrespect.
