In Reply to: on return to MT - KATHY

I don't think I really hate transcribing, just tired of it. I envy any woman who does not have to work and enjoys her home, and I personally can't wait to retire and hopefully enjoy my small pension and the SS when that happens. I've been off work for about a month now (switching jobs; this is the longest period since I was a teenager that I have not had to work). I have been extremely busy and loving every minute of it and while very grateful to have it, I hate to have to start up this new job. If I didn't have to work for a living full time, I'd volunteer at several places, be more active in my church, be outdoors daily in my yard (can barely keep up with that but love it), would walk a lot more, would help out at my nephew's school, etc. Hope I'm physically able to do all this still in another 10 years.

Oh, okay, can't identify myself. That's okay.

Very good and clear description of what will happen at this company.


I believe they are taking the bottom of the barrel of hospitals out there and


not putting any restrictions or caveats on the work - instead making the MT


"eat" the loss and MQ is playing the odds.


But if all you get is bad dictators - you will not survive.  Probably the reason the


hospital had to outsource IN THE FIRST PLACE - is because of the doctors.


What I've never understood is WHY CAN'T THE HOSPITAL DEMAND


APPROPRIATE AND DISTINCT DICTATION.......IT IS TO THEIR LEGAL AND


MONETARY BENEFIT.


I mean they require appropriate credentials, and timely dictation of reports - just because we are mostly women "typing" is that the reason no consideration has been given to what has been thrown at "transcription"?  I have wondered.  I know you say "transcription" in a medical staff meeting and the eyes of administrators go DARK and they nearly throw up in your face.  The hospital just WANTS IT DONE AND DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING MORE ABOUT HOW IT GOT DONE.


Well, it would be simple if they also spot checked physician's dictation


as part of Quality Assurance and if they were not doing it right - in English - with


English structure sentences - they were kicked off staff just as when they don't


do their charts timely.

Could anyone help me identify a bug problem? sm
I live in Ohio and have never seen these bugs before. I went outside last night to my backyard and noticed millions of tiny, black bugs on the back of my house, along the brick wall and windows down by the ground/basement wall area.  They are a little bit bigger than a pencil tip, very black and almost look like a small beetle. Any help in identifing these creepy critters would be great.  I also noticed them today around  and on our above ground pool! Thanks for any help.

No. People are not allowed to identify themselves there.
Identifying yourself along with your employer is what I am talking about.

Publicly putting your personal life and identity into cyberspace and attaching it to your employer is usually a big no-no with employers. They have a no representation clause.


What a great post - so much to identify with...
I especially like Lillybelle's posts also. Just recently I have considering the same thing as in letting go some of the 'perfection' as it (literally) does not pay.

However, have you ever heard QA complain? There are a lot of posts right at this site where there is nothing but complaints about how 'lazy' MTs are etc. Not that I want to rekindle that argument, but I always worry about a backlash from QA, even for leaving reasonable blanks...

Ever feel we are backed into a corner? Geeze!
Isn't that interesting. So much for the identify remaining secret. nm
