I transcribed a doc and I swear he was sick all the time.  Really gross.

This doc keeps blowing wind/nose hairs/boogers out his nose - into the microsphone - and

sounds cool, huh?


I am physically nauseated!  3 hours of this.   gag


Add to that he can't say *our* alphabet so even though the hospital THINKS the docs are spelling the names, he wasted his time and mine. and when I get it wrong -- until I get the hospital to listen --- they will think I'm the *blank* one. (the board stopped me from posting/ said stup*d is not allowed here so you know what I'm saying - isn't that odd, I can't refer to my own self as that, hmmm)


He can't say NUMBERS.  Getting the drug doses is a joke.  Even the names of the drugs is like mystery science.


He says wrong months, days of the week.  If he's meaning to say May, he may say April.


If he's meaning to say 17 he may say 15.


You can hear the disdain in his voice when he dictates on women - I guess in his world there truly is no respect for women and you can really hear it when he's doing the dictation.


But the constant blowing - and clearing his throat - trying to dislodge that tickling nose hair I guess and slurping that yucky saliva has me just about ready to quit transcribing RIGHT NOW.  . 


Today I did make myself a promise.  I have been a good girl for 30+ years, held my anger deep in my ugly Wal-Mart pocketbooks.  When I retire in January and I know I will never have to turn on another computer or transcribe another medical dictation............I'm gonna go to the hospital ......maybe go sit in on GRAND ROUNDS FOR THE LAST TIME.......and BLAST THEM.  I'll do it or bust a gasket.  Just watch me.



My ESL has been sniffing the Sharpies I think this week
Every sentence has been backwards and he is dictating his referring physicians backwards too! Took me forever to get through that clinic day!
Spitting into the wind...SM
I usually don't get involved in these threads, but I'll go ahead and give it a try for once:

You're trying to battle the Information Revolution, immediate business profiteering, AND the need to provide needed medical services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner possible.

It's NOT going to work any more than denying the Industrial Revolution (or the Agricultural or Iron Ages) did for those who tried then, and yes, plenty did--long dead now, names not recorded.

Sorry, but best advice is accept inevitable change and invest your time and energy in changing with it. These are fascinating and exciting times. Enjoy!

No, Priscilla Presley after face work, is the spitting image of the Joker.

Oh my, this is just blowing my mind.

Someone's blowing smoke up your computer with
unsubstantiated statements. 
She/he is just blowing off some steam, and I can relate! nm

Talk about blowing smoke, ha.
Even the ones on here who are reading these listings, not all want to join in the revolution. I for one love my job, don’t intend on putting my neck on the chopping block for others just because someone is not as happy or content as me. Ridiculous to even think so.
Really? Can you explain why or are you just blowing smoke out your butt again?

you hit it right on the nose. I was sm
doing MT when AAMT came to be. I remember at the time, they would "grandfather" you in if you had five years experience (I had only three I think) in any kind of transcription. There were folks being "certified" who had done nothing but radiology or pathology their whole careers. I haven't been in AAMT for years but don't they now have certification for just radiology separately or something? Anyway, these folks were going around with the "certified" stamp and could not do one iota of acute care transcription. I took the test to be certified. Kept the certification for about 12 years and dumped it. All it is, is a money making venture to benefit AAMT. They do nothing for MTs far as I am concerned. As far as hiring a "CMT" I would take a more experienced MT w/o certification before I would take someone with less experience with certification. I think AAMT needs to be buried too!
Talk about blowing smoke! No one, not one MQ MT has "joined" the class action suit.
Its not even up to that point yet.  We will be notified and given the legal options via the legal system. So, if you claim you "joined it", you joined nothing - just gave your name to the laywers. Nothing more, so get over yourself.  If there is nothing more to pursue after discovery, you won't be joining anything!
I have had a couple. Blowing hair tickles face so had to figure out how to keep it outta my

BLOW YOUR NOSE....PLEASE!!
        I am about to lose my mind.  If this dictator could just blow her nose and stop sucking snot.  Can't help having a cold, but even my children would BLOW THEIR NOSE.  Then maybe she could stop choking on phlegm.  A little consideration, PLEASE!
Oh I have one of those too. I just want to say BLOW YOUR NOSE!!!

You have a brown smudge on your nose you

You'll still pay through the nose for benefits

employee.  There are no such thing as raises in this industry.  It just doesn't happen.  Meanwhile, my husband's employer (not MT) told the managers not to expect a bonus this year.  So, it is not just this industry.


The American dream is to own your own company; be your own boss.  Why let the rates stand in your way?  If you are as good as you say you are, then you would find a way to have benefits and also make a decent living.  You don't need an employee position to do that.  Many people own businesses and still have health insurance.  It is out there for the taking.  Even as an employee you have to pay for your benefits.  No employer is going to give them away.


It is a shame you were underbid, but this happens every day in this profession, i.e., offshoring... 


I don’t brown nose anyone as I am not in charge
of how to tell physicians to dictate, just handle my end. I only wish, though.
Same here, inside of nose freezes when breathing.nm

I hate the ones that suck their snot up through their nose! UGH!...NM

Maybe you should both get your nose out of the bible and live the life He gave you...

I cant make out these words at all.  I sloooooowed him all the way down.  Sped him up.  Took my earphones off.
