Not stoopid...

I've been at this for years and never got macros.  I use autocorrect.  Love it.  I will probably go to an Expander soon as I'm now doing many different drs. and will max out my AC.


examples:  ctn=continue; ctng=continuing; ctnj=continuation; ctnd=continued


just a letter adds word variance j=sion, tion and so forth.


Macros?  what are those...


Stoopid mistake

Okay, I need some feedback here.  I did this stoopid mistake on one of my accounts over the weekend.  I downloaded the jobs, was typing happily along and oh, about 30 reports in realized I had been putting the wrong doc's name on the darned things.  AFTER they had been uploaded to the client.  I've worked on this account for about six months now, and I have NEVER made this kind of error before.  As soon as I was aware of the mistake, I immediately emailed my supervisor, but unfortunately there was nothing I could do to get the reports back and fix the errors. 


I know that 'confessing' my mistake was the right thing to do.  I also know the client must be pretty upset.  To make matters even more embarrassing, I had just asked for more work from the powers that be since my monthly quota is only equal to about an average week's lines. 


I guess I am looking for someone to tell me that I am not the only person who has done something so very stoopid.  I hope I don't end up losing my job over this.  It is the first major mistake I have made, so hopefully the company wouldn't be so short-sighted, but you never know.  We had just gotten an email memo from the pres of the company a few weeks ago saying how since there were not enough reliable, quality MTs out there, the company is switching totally to VRE by the end of the year.  Anyhow...


You can bet I will pay extra-close attention to the next jobs I get, if I get any...Can't believe I did this. 


What do you all think?  Thanks...


Stoopid mistakes
Oh, I've done far worse, and I am too ashamed to admit what that is here, but I agree with the other replies when they've told you not to sweat it. You are only human after all. Humans make mistakes. It's just how it is. The fact that you owned up to it, recognized it and feel bad about it proves to me that you're a good MT. No need to beat yourself up over this. This too shall pass.
Might be a stoopid question...BUT

I am relatively new to this board, so forgive the question, but I do not know what Medquist is in that, why is there a board specifically for them and - I guess, just what is up with them?


Thanks


Big Blooper
I have made many bloopers in my transcription history, as I am sure many have.  However, I think this one tops the cake.  I am a psych transcriptionist, and I transcribe forensic and legal psych reports.  I had a client who was an exhibitionist to say the least.  In the dictation, the therapist stated that the client was "sitting along the highway with his bare penis exposed, masturbating".  I transcribed "bear penis" instead of "bare penis"!  Oh my goodness did I get teased about that.  When the report came back for correction, the therapist wrote in the margin, "Hey, how big is a bear penis anyway".  I still work for the same therapist, and I do not think he will ever let me live it down.
ASR Blooper
Here is my favorite:

Patient is an 83 year-old female who fell when she stepped outside to pick up a male.

When I'm 83, I hope that I can just step outside and pick up a guy!

Humorous MD blooper

I have had awful dictation this afternoon - sheer torture, as most of us are familiar with.


Thought I would share this to lighten things up: "Discharge instructions were given in both verbal and oral format."   He whipped through this report in about 45 seconds - they don't even listen to themselves.


 


My blooper typo-of-the-day! sm

Doctor dictates:  "Extremities are warm and well perfused."


What I almost typed:  "Extremities are warm and well PERFUMED." 


    Time for a break


Monday blooper

It was dictated as Allergies:  Sulfones. 


I transcribed "Allergies:  Cell phones"  . . . . until I realized what I'd done. 


Somebody beat me with a wet noodle!


Admin, can we get a blooper board?

I think everyone really could use a good laugh these days and now with ASR, MTs can contribute as well as QA. I get some really funny ones but forget to write them down so was thinking it would be neat to have an ongoing blooper board on this site. The comedy board is great; and being an MT site, I think a blooper board would be very appropriate and appreciated.  Thanks for your consideration!



Don't it stink? LOL. MT blooper in there - the same one I make EVERY TIME. nm

It probably would stink, mixed in a bowel! Cute blooper, though. nm
nn
ROFLMBO..jsut saw my blooper..guess i shouldn't type late at night eh?
x
No, just trying it tonight. sm
Hope it goes okay, I have never tried it.  It was on a special about Elvis' favorite foods.  I read the reviews and they said the cake was very rich. 
I think Ace is gone tonight
Taylor was WONDERFUL last night! I really enjoyed his performance. I was not thrilled with Katherine or Paris. I thought Bucky, Kelly, and Elliot did really well. I did not like Chris' song last night, but not sure if it was just the song I didn't like or the way he did it. So, all in all I would have to say that the bottom three will be Ace, Paris, and Katherine. Ace will be the one leaving in my opinion.
What's for supper tonight? nm

Ladies, what is on for din din tonight?????

beef tenderloin, mushroom gravy, noodles, salad and some fruit.  Then, a whole pot coffee while I work.


What's for dinner tonight?
I'm going to make three types of maki-sushi and wontons because I have salmon, shrimp and tun in there to use up.  I just love messing with the little bamboo sushi mat.  It's so cute!  LOL
dinner tonight
With fresh tomatoes and peppers abounding in this area, I have made some salsa and we are having chicken burritos with fresh salsa and fresh peaches.  Not much work and lots of good eating.
What's for dinner tonight?
Leftovers here.  I am not cooking.  I've got homemade cheeseburger pizza, chipotle grilled chicken, biscuits and sausage gravy, tacos, soup, sandwiches and salad that need to be eaten up.
Prayers will be said tonight!

Did you see the news tonight?

Hundreds of children were killed, thousands and thousands have died in total they say. I am the mother of three children and watching those pictures on TV of those little lives lost is very disturbing, extremely saddening, and is a very emotional thing to watch or to try to even understand the magnitude of such losses for everyone involved or to make any sense of it all.


If you, by reading my post, misunderstood my post, I wholeheartedly appologize. It was not my intention to have a "hidden agenda" in my post. It was merely a question.


Dinner tonight
Meat loaf, mashed potatoes and brown gravy, creamed corn, broccoli/cauliflower salad and Kentucky Derby Pie for dessert.  I love to cook.

So what's for dinner tonight? SM

I was privileged to be a guest at the first night of Hanukkah last year, and we had latkes and doughnuts, it was all about the oil.


For the life of me I can't remember what we had the second night.


I was in the Bay Area of SF and I'll swear all I did was eat the whole time I was there. And it was all wonderful. My friend is the best cook I've ever seen.


I'm going to go tonight just because of your post.
I certainly could use a few good laughs.
tonight's dinner
Spaghetti with Italian sausages, garlic bread, and nice fresh, big green salad! Jello with fruit for desert.
What's for supper tonight?
Can't decide what to have.
What's for Dinner Tonight?

We are having pasta with steamed veggies and parmesan cheese, salad, garlic bread.  Vanilla ice cream with fresh strawberries for dessert.  MMMMM


 


24 was awesome tonight except
I can't believe Tony is dead. What a bummer. First Michelle, then Edgar and now Tony. I wonder who will be next!!!!
So... What's for Dinner Tonight?

what's for dinner tonight?
sick of cooking same old things 
Who do you think will be leaving tonight?
I think Kevin.
Elliot all the way tonight!

Tonight will probably be Paris
Dial Idol has Paris as the lowest with Kellie a close second.  For the margin of error, it could be either one of them but since Kellie has Vote for The Worst on her side, I think tonight will be Paris.  I was kind of embarassed by Katherine's dress. I was actually working while the show was on, and I looked up while she was singing and thought to myself "put those boobies away," lol.  I think she has a good voice, but she is playing the sexy bod card as much as Kellie is playing the dumb blonde card, although Katherine is a much better singer than Kellie.  I had tears when Elliott was singing last night.  My favorite is always Taylor, although I was disappointed in his song choice last night, and think he could have picked something better to have another magical night like last week.  Elliott was the best of the night and might have done better with the judges if he hadn't taken David Foster's advice on the arrangement of the song.  I think Chris is okay, but I just can't connect emotionally with him. He's never brought me chills or to tears or made me laugh or smile like Taylor has, or like Elliott did last night.  I think the bottom 2 tonight will be Paris and Kellie, with Paris leaving as she just doesn't have the fan base.
Thanks for all the help tonight.! I'm a different Susan

AI - Who is going home tonight?

I think Paris tonight.

Tonight's vote...

LET'S ALL MAKE SURE "KAT"ERINE DOES NOT WIN...VOTE FOR TAYLOR...EVEN IFYOU DON'T CARE FOR HIM, STILL VOTE FOR HIM.


I've liked Taylor from the beginning, although as I stated earlier, this whole season has been a bit of a disappointment. 


 VOTE FOR TAYLOR!!!


Tonight show
I think Taylor is going to be on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno tonight.  I just LOVE him!
What's for dinner tonight?
I'm hungry !   
We're having that tonight
That sounds so good. I'm off to to grocery store, so I will pick up these things and give 'er a try. Thanks for sharing your recipe. I get so tired of the same things each week, and I use turkey meat in everything now, so this is right up my alley.
Need help with a recipe for tonight
At a friend's church function a couple months ago, someone had made a chicken casserole that had very simple ingredients, but was very good.  I could probably throw together what I think was in there but would really prefer to find a recipe for it if possible.  It had a cream-based sauce surely from canned cream of ?? soups...cubes of chicken....spaghetti noodles...and a melted shredded cheese and maybe either fine bread crumbs or parmesan topping.  Anyone have anything out there close to this?  Thanks!
I saw Lou Dobbs tonight.
Senator Dorgan from ND was on. He seems like an upstanding sort of senator! We need more like him.

(Interestingly, I'm a Republican, he's a Democrat, LOL).

Dinner tonight
Lemon-pepper tilapia in butter sauce, summer squash, and sesame-seed bagels.
Any op note MTs out there tonight?(sm)

If so, could you please contact me?? I am having a devil of a time tonight, and have not gotten a whole lot of references for operative reports, as prior to now, I have never really done many of them!  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 


 


TIA


If I stay up and get my work done tonight, then I can take

an extra day off tomorrow.  It's going to be warm and sunny all day.  Then again, I'm exhausted and bleary eyed.  I feel like my behind is molded firmly to the chair.


BUT I could sleep in and have breakfast in bed served by hubby.  Take a long bath.  Putter in the garden.  Read a book on my lounge chair on the deck.  Have a picnic at the park.  Take a nap.  What to do?


LOL It will be interesting to come back tonight (sm)
and see how this all ends up, but the sun is rising and it's time for me to crawl into my coffin in the cellar of the Vampire Bed and Breakfast ;-)

Thanks to all who participated in this silliness; twas entertaining!
What's for dinner tonight girls?

I love it! It is on tonight- don't miss it! nm
