I was recently assigned a new account at my current employer.  My first impression of the account was lousy dictators and now my impression is lousy practitioners to the point of feeling almost guilty working on their reports.

I don't want to get too specific for fear of ramifications, but....I see practitioners who are just confused, scattered, make many...MANY...errors in drug names, drug amounts, drugs for stated conditions that are wrongwrongwrong, etc.  They forget portions of dictations or ignore portions of dictations.  They will state the patient is not available for the exam but then say to just put in the following vital signs.  It makes my gut hurt.  I won't even go into what goes on in the background at this facility but it is equally disturbing and really drains me physically to listen to their long rambling nonsense while listening to the sounds of their failings as medical professionals(?). 

This is EVERY day in my workload (I am making no money on this account because of the constant re-dictating portions, mistakes, account notations, etc) .  Well....out of curiosity I did some research.  The facility has been nailed by the state on numerous occasions for errors and bad medicine and I cannot be surprised.  I half feel like someone has to do it, it may as well be me (though its not profitable....) and the other half has a feeling of 'aiding and abetting' their complete inadequacy as medical professionals. 

I am curious what your take is on this.  What would you do?  I am considering asking off of the account altogether but I am afraid to say because I don't want to work with the dregs of the medical profession.  I don't want to be one of those whiny MT's who don't like this or that and want something else.  I just find this account depressing and I dread it for all the reasons stated.

is when there is a group e-mail about proofing work and the specific e-mail about proofing had 2 spelling errors....and the e-mail is a total of 3-4 sentences.  

I dunooooooooo.

I do believe we had the same PS and WFC... when you talk about dropped letters LOL.

I don't care if they aren't typists..they certainly get paid more than me and should be way more professional. I certainly wouldn't get a job as anything if I sent a resume like that. They are supposed to set an example.. they are our *bosses*.

Scribbles - We so agree on the not making the child submissive or using violent ways to get a child to behave - I'm one of the posters in that thread though with a different name (I'm the one with the 20 years of therapy experience prior to having children)....yet we so do not agree on Chavez.  It's very interesting to me that we are on the same page for one issue and on opposite pages for the other issue.

Ok, we can agree to disagree

Have a GREAT evening!! 

Was she related to Mrs. Smallwood that I took typing from in 1977? The old bitty would tap you on the feet with a yardstick if you were caught with your ankles crossed and rap the table if you were caught looking at the keys.

She'd say (very loudly) CLASS! Look straight ahead!, sit up straight and uncross those ankles!!! Then she'd get the timer ready for a timed typing and shout READY? BEGIN!! It still sends chills up my spine, but I left high school with 75 wpm and a fear of yardsticks. :)

I have very few letters left on my keyboard. That's what the 2 bumps are for. 

And the numbers to be included within your text are on the top row of your keyboard(without looking). The numeric keybad is for balancing your checkbook.

Her husband ignores her and every night they spend the evening with her in the breezeway watching some movie from 1950 and him watching porno in the living room.  He makes perverted remarks at waitresses, comments about the physical attrributes of every woman he sees, has made their 30-year-old daughter's friends his "imaginary girlfriends" (has pictures of himself with just about all of them and even calls some of them "his girlfriend"). 

Needless to say his wife has no self esteem whatsoever after almost 40 years of this.

However, she puts up with it and never says a word to him about it.  Then the nastiness comes out in other ways.  She's passive aggressive, mean, angry, frustrated and takes it out on anyone she can, which is why I just keep my distance.

Miserable, dysfunctional people. 

whatever the complaint is... the patient will undergo bypass surgery!!
