uncomfortable with phrasing/quoting

In Reply to: QA Help: Earlier I transcribed a report where - Dazey
I don't know that I'd go so far as to say that this person thinks she knows more than the doctors. IT seems more like clarification over how to handle this situation is in order, by either the employer or her QA person, supervisor etc. I've been in the business for 25 years, and I know we see and hear a lot that seems "odd," and there are times where it is your responsibility, after the fact, to flag reports and let somebody know about things. Two cases in point ... I worked for children's hospital where one of the pediatricians (not trained in pyschology) was seeing adults for psychiatric concerns. Long story, and I'm sure you wondered how that was possible but it was. And we also, at that same hospital had a doctor who swore and complained on tape (little asides) and something like this was mentioned to him, and changes were made. However, when something is in quoted, such as what this person has mentioned, it doesn't matter what is said, you have to transcribe it, and whether or not this was a psych note is not the issue. The fact that the doctor wanted it noted meant that it was important. For example, this patient might often times be abusive, and thus it is noted in reports, just as a "drug-seeking" patients behavior may be noted, which is also the doctor's opinion on the person's behavior, but needs to be noted. I know that if you routinely get reports, the content of which you are not comfortable with, this is when you go to your supervisor, or whoever, and ask for a different account, or workload etc. Believe me, over the years, and sitting in one place getting work from all over the country, you are going to hear some things, and the only real blank (shudder, because I hate blanks) is truly something that cannot be understood or verified. This particular instance, it was a direct quote and the "blank" space for what was said could mean all the difference. That's my 8-1/2 cents worth, and I think this was an excellent question to have posed, because not everybody would know what to do when confronted with this. Happy transcribing everyone. -A

If you are uncomfortable with it.....
One poster here said that her brother wears swim trunks when with their child in the bath. That may be an option for your husband if you are that suspicious of the whole thing not to mention uncomfortable.
In my honest opinion, mothers bathe their children with them all the time and very few people see a problem with that, if your husband is that into quality time in the tub with your daughter then give them that time. At least, he is participating with your daughter and not acting like she is a burden to him.
Trust me, if there is something weird going on you will be able to sense it but until that alarm goes off, let it be!
I think the OP was quoting HER e-mail. NM

My post disappeared. :( Two words - and it makes sense, but the phrasing is a little strange. nm

Personally I feel very uncomfortable adding something the doc didn't say
I would ask the OM for standardized templates so they would be on file and if there was ever any question, you would be able to show that you were given a template for that particular situation.
Let the doctors worry about covering their @ss. You worry about covering yours.
Also was quoting from grammar book but lots older than grammarbook.com...nm
