some doctors dont think that is trivial. They expect doctor's name to be spelled right

When you are working for someone across the world, it is hard to find the name of that particular doctor.
She is right to put a blank for this.
I had an account that demanded the physician's name to be spelled correctly. They think of it as an insult.

It is and isn't trivial. Trivial about the spelling, but there is obvious pride (which I have too
to America. I think THAT is what the post was all about. Here in America we do it this way, etc. Many, many Americans are tired of the pandering and adjusting to the "many" ways of life out there - This is America and if you choose to come here then you should abide by our ways of doing/saying things. I feel strongly about that too! No feelings hurt, I hope...
If I were to move to France, I certainly wouldn't try to push my agenda or my way of speaking on others and expect them to pander to me in any way. I would respect their culture and their ways.
Dont expect them to speak language perfectly.

If your doctor includes your SS# as do many of the doctors I do, you better worry. I don't want
:+
Truthfully, if there are enough doctors, at least 3 months before you pick up on the doctor preferen
I would say at max a week on full QA, but don't expect to pick up everything with regards to expanders, dictators' personal preferences, etc. until at least 3 months. I have been on the same account now for almost a year, and I am still picking up new things and making new Expanders on a daily basis (of course, there are a ton of doctors, so I still get new ones every couple of weeks).
My attitude is that if you are on QA for a long time, it just means that you take a little longer to learn. You will get it eventually. Everyone learns at difference speeds.
Food for the staff and doctors, if you can afford it. Food is always a big hit in a doctor's off
One of the biggest perks I can remember when I worked in a doctor's office was when the drug reps or orthopedic equipment reps would cater lunch for the whole office just so they could meet with the docs. The whole office would get so jazzed at the idea of free lunch.
If you can't afford to cater lunch, then I would do something like a muffin basket and bagels always go over well. But food is your best bet.
The mistakes were trivial
They did not tell you the rules and you did it correctly. They should have told you that you were to change it. I just hired on with a hospital system who really appreciates good MTs and you can find someone who will, too. Hang in there!
1/2 cc is not trivial - it is inaccurate!
Maybe if you just try to remember the rules per AAMT BOS when testing, things will go better for you.
Good luck!
This is trivial but driving me insane
I saw Matt Lauer named his new son Thijs. Does anyone know how this is pronounced? I can only think of "thigs" (rhymes with figs) and that just seems too weird to name anyone.
Why dont you stop coming in and agitating everyone under all your different names. Dont you work.

Dont you think MQ will just keep hiring new people who dont know they lost lines because they are
new. I betcha.
If you dont try to fill in blank or research, dont

The way I understand it if you dont keep below 10 to 15% QA you dont get the bonus even if your QA
score remains above 98% so you see as the other poster said you are between a rock and a hard place and I expect this is MQ way of getting out of paying a bonus to people. I see it this way anyhow. I plan to continue to send unclear things to QA and that is the way it is. I expect depending on the new pay scale on top of this they will be losing a lot of MTs anyhow as they continue to miser everyone out of money.
Do you honestly think they do. I dont. I dont think some of them can even understand some of the
reports they listen to quite frankly.
If you dont want to read a thread, then dont.

Well, that's because it is spelled out in
??? What's your point?
How's that spelled?????

He also spelled ...
... simvastatin and folic acid.
Why because this is spelled wrong.
Everybody else points everything out, why can't I?????? You are multiple personality disorder considering you can never stick with one name.
Wanna play?
Can be spelled either way. Has been for years. nm
I know we have all had things spelled for us that seemed a ---
bit silly, but I just had a doctor spell not once, but twice during the report guns - g-u-n-s. 
Do you not transcribe as spelled?
I thought that was the definition of verbatim account. What is a verbatim account definition, pls?
I spelled it right in my head. Besides, this is

Should be spelled and embarrassed. Where are you QAing?

You spelled "grammatically" wrong
no further message needed
Grrr! I just had a doc who spelled the abbreviations!
COPD, that's captial C, capital O, capital P, captial D. LAD, capital L, capital A, capital D.
Plus...
Patient has been in drug recovery - that's R-E-C-O-V-E-R-Y
Really? I did not know that. Thanks so much.
And yes, I know I spelled cystoscopy wrong.........

Gettin' over. No matter how it's spelled.

You know the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn't think he's a doctor. nm

Perhaps you could make more if you spelled POLL correctly. LOL
Thought it was funny.
Did you notice you spelled grammar - grammer? LOL sm
Seriously though, it is your account and you have every right to demand better quality, and if she cannot provide that for you, then maybe you need to reconsider her as an IC. You absolutely have to be very careful when hiring those who just cannot take criticism the right way. Those are the worst because they are prideful MTs and they will never get it right because they don't think they have an issue! Trust me, I LIVE with one of those.
Get some back bone and start demanding better work or tell her you will replace her. See if she doesn't slow down then! Good luck. Put the whip on her - that should do the trick.
WOOPEE!!!!! YAHOO!!!!!! The doc SPELLED the patient's name!!!!!!!...
Yippee!!!!!!! I am jumping around like a little kid!! Did someone finally get the message through?? I CAN NOT SEARCH THIS ACCOUNT FOR PATIENT NAMES!!! (or is it just a fluke?)
Had to share. TeeHee
After readign my OP again, I spelled the words incorrectly -sm
in rush to send post. I mainly use Stedman's Radiology Words and lunotriquetral interosseous ligament is listed--w/o hyphen since I do radiology but just looked in the Ortho book and it is also listed there.
Thanks for taking time to list your references
difference in abbr and word spelled out
Hi Debra,
I think the difference here is impacted by 2 things:
1. If you are spelling the word out fully, then it looks dumb to join them:
10milligrams
But if you are writing it in ShortHand as we generally do in medical documents, I think it is abundantly clear to write:
10mg
2. Also we're talking about medical/scientific measure. When I had my transcription business the editorial policy concerning such was this:
If you are transcribing a medical/scientific measurement you join the value and the unit of measure:
2g
If you are transcribing OTHER than medical measurement, you write it out:
She has two houses locally. Of her three children, two are grown.
And Never:
She has 2 houses locally. Of her 3 children, 2 are grown.
No. Measurements are in numerals, all others are written out. That was OUR editorial policy. Others have different policies, and whatever policy is established is how it needs to be done.

uh, I don't type a medication that is spelled wrong

Yes. I find it spelled both ways on Google.

I received a note from QA that I'd spelled the patient's name wrong
THROUGHOUT the report. Since I don't keep a copy of the chart on my computer anymore, I can't go back and look at it to see what I did. I vaguely remember though, 2 days later, that I had a patient that was not on the patient list so I spelled phonetically, marked it for QA that this was throughouit the report and sent it on its way. I questioned the person telling me about the mistake as to whether it was spelled right in the demographics and a couple more questions trying to clear my confusion about what could have happened. This is certainly not something that is my norm, for sure. She replied once, but after asking another question and telling her that I'm really not trying to give her a hard time over this, she has not responded again. Is it possible that someone QA'd my report, fixed the patient's name in the demographics but didn't look at the report body. Perhaps I should have flagged every place that it is mentioned as well? "The patient" certainly would have been a sure thing here but not allowed.
So now that I've ranted a little more over this I'll let it go (hopefully) but I just can't believe I'd have done this. I even use "uj" in my Expander and change it to the patient's name with every report, just so I don't make a mistake remembering how to spell some of the names. I guess that's the biggest reason why I'm having a hard time with this one, because I do the same think on EVERY report, uj=whatever the patient's name is as per the demographics on the patient. AAARRRGGGHHHH. It sure does bug me.
   
people speak and you see the words spelled out in your mind...

I see I spelled *grammar* wrong in my post above. *sigh*
Let me say it before anyone else! LOL
at least they spelled 'remuneration' correctly. Wow, free food! nm

what then, do you expect us to do? sm
all go out there and open our own service? Some of us don't want the hassle of finding the work, paying the taxes, hiring the people to do the work, etc, etc...I, for one, am very happy working for my national, which happens to be MQ. I certainly couldn't do any better on my own...and have half the headache to boot! For some, a national just "fits", it just does! Sorry if some people can't comprehend that! 
what did he expect?
Yup! Good luck to him, he let a whole lot of people down, including himself.
