he was dictating because it sounded like arefanunionsom. Ummm, that's not a choice, dude. There are no reports by that title.

yesterday I had an 800 second report....sm

The dictator kept apologizing but continually had me go back to the HPI and take away stuff, add stuff and it was back and forth the entire report with him continually apologizing for *driving the male or female MT crazy* and he said that exactly.  You're so right, I wouldn't want this dictator being my doctor AT ALL EVER.


Now we can both EXHALE *LOL* 


yesterday I had a 1500 second report....nm

Couldn't be anything NEAR how a 20-blank report
What a bunch of hot air you people blow. And QAs DO blow.
I had one yesterday that hiccuped through the entire report. I had about 10 blanks!

Did you type that stat report? What did you say
x
I type the report and then a make a notation about

dictator said delete it.  I still typed the report and per my company we get paid for it.   There are occasionally times when the dictator states during the report to go back and change and they may almost completely redictate the report so there will be lines typed and deleted that you will not get paid for. 


According to type of report - i.e., common surgeries,
or physical examinations are what I normally save.
I proof as I type the report and when there are long
pauses I will proof while waiting for dictation to start up again.
How about yourself? I type a report on some horrible disease and think "Hey, I think I have that.
v
I've also tested at a hospital. I only had to type one report and
the rest was the interview and a small written test on abbreviations and proofreading test for correct punctuation etc. I certainly was not asked to come in and sit and do 6 reports. Overkill in my opinion and totally turned me off to this company.
How long should it take to type a 36 minute dictated report?
I was just wondering as I talked to a woman that said it took her a really long time to type this report the other day.. I have never actually timed myself, but thought I'd see what you all thought or what it really should take to do a report that length? 
I'd type it & keep my mouth shut. If you defer the report to someone else, you are just calling
hmmm...maybe I don't know yet how to post on this board.
You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099. 
I charge the same amount for a "normal" report as for any other report.
You still have to listen to the dictation and change anything that's different.  I had one woman try to pull this on me.  She'd dictate, "Just pull up my normal, but change this, change that, switch that around, move that, add this, delete that, and change the other."  Then she'd only want to pay me what equated to $.03 per line.  She wanted 1:1 on her dictation to transcription ratios.  I told her to take her cheap account down the road because I'm worth more than that.
Oh, a report just came in. A report actually just slid in, can you believe it. Hip Hip Hooray. I

had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.


If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.

don't type double spaces. Type single. Then no one will be cheated.

I can type with wine, can't type with coffee, though...too jittery.

That is, type the code above before and after what you want bolded in the text-to-type box. nm

For me it isn't an account type but a dictator type ...
and that would be oriental. An oriental dictator (hahaha, that kind of sounds funny...hahaha) is the most challenging for me.
No, you don't type directly into ES. You type in Word -
or whatever their platform is, just like you did with your tapes.

Then you do your line count in Word or the platform.
You should type them. I usually type them in parentheses following the diagnosis.

remind me, type what they say, type what they say, type....
"He indicated that at the beginning of the year he complained of health problems recently but has gotten better."  C'mon doc, which one is it?????
Yesterday
They just billed it yesterday, the day of my new statement, that's why I got an over-the-limit fee tacked on, too .  Thanks so much for your support.  It really helps to have kind, supportive people helping me.  Thank you!
That was me yesterday, except it took me
14 hours off and on to get 1,000 lines in.  TMI = too many interruptions  I can't wait for school to start again.  LOL
Actually, it was yesterday, but still

Had one yesterday
that kept saying "post stop" after every sentence.

The first time I thought she said postop, until she kept saying it and it dawned on me that she was saying "post stop" when she was finished with that sentence.
I saw that one yesterday...sm
person must be OM and not transcriptionist...what an easy mistake!! lol.
Bet you are from yesterday

The one from yesterday also mentioned the infection aspect so perhaps you are just using a different name.  If you call the board, you will never work again as you are breaching confidentality and referring a patient to PT is not life threatening.  It might get the patient out of the house and do a lot emotionally and psychologically.  The doctor at least has not given up on him and trying to give him the best life possible and if PT can keep those muscle moving and so on, go for it.   I think it is time for you to find another profession is this is bugging you.  As for your grandmother, the doctor was hoping it would motivate her and he was trying not to allow her to just sit there and let everything atrophy as it seems the family was happy doing.  


 


Had a guy yesterday who...
said, "Okay, I have to spell this one."  Don't remember the word at the moment, but it was  thhhiiiiiiiiisssssss llllllooooonnnnggggg.  When he was done, he laughed and said, "How did anyone come up with a name that long anyway?"
I had one yesterday (ESL)
Who kept saying over and over in the report "assenbanger". After I stopped laughing, I did some investigation and it turned out she was really saying "Eisenmenger" syndrome.

Lovely, huh? :-)
yesterday I had

a 30-minute report that only counted to 142 lines.  I was really miffed.  Dictate a sentence.  Pause for 15 seconds.  Go back and change the last sentence, just say blah blah blah.  Pause for 15 seconds.  Dictate another sentence, stumbling mid-sentence while trying to collect thoughts.  Pause for 15.  Decide you didn't like that sentence after all and ask me to change it.  Over and over and over.  An ESL to boot.   


I felt like I was trapped in some strange time warp in the twilight zone.  It really messed with my mind.   


Couldn't you just ask if this is appropriate?

I just had one who couldn't
pronounce the simplest word, like catheter. He does cardiac caths all day every day, and can't even pronounce the simplest terms for his specialty! They shouldn't be able to graduate like that.
Saw my name and couldn't help myself here...

I'm among the 200-odd people who visit every day but don't wanna post because, well, it just doesn't seem right.  But, seeing as I saw my name in black and white up on the screen, I just couldn't stop my fingers from typing. 


I wicked miss all the jibber jabber, work related and nonwork related.  I miss the usual faces, the usual arguments, the good times, the bad times, the times when I swore some people were on the rag...


I too got privately disciplined by the former MTStars staff for my potty mouth, got mean e-mails from people who called me a hick, and got awesome e-mails from some great people out there...and I miss it!  All of it!  The good, the bad, and the ugly. 


We had our little domain name "stolen" a few years ago when we didn't renew it in a timely manner, so I kinda know what it's like.  Except ours wasn't a business, just a place where friends and family that we left behind could see what we were up to.  The web host kept all our hard work and wouldn't relinquish it because they claimed it was technically theirs...I'm not 100% sure, as I'm not the technical person of the household, but I know that basically we had to start from scratch.  You kinda feel violated in a weird way. 


I'll keep checking for the "other" MTStars to see if it's back up and running, but for now I'll just hang out here and wait.  My personal stuff is all over cyberspace, so I'm not concerned about identity theft or anything like that.  Who in Sam Hain would want my life anyway?! 



you couldn't pay me enough.
I was offered a job managing an office that sent all the work to the Philippines. I couldn't bring myself to do it. The manager job from the other board (if that's the one you're referring to)sends their work to India. As tough as times are now, I could not bring myself to take jobs away from American MTs even if it meant a decent paying job for me. Still hoping Obama will tax the heck out of these companies that offshore, but not holding my breath.
I was just wondering yesterday
what happened to them.  Hadn't heard anything about it in a few weeks.  Seems like all they talk about is Aruba.  Wonder where the little boy is!!
My doctor did tell me that yesterday....sm

thanks for reconfirming, I wasn't sure if I believed it. He even told me not to let the girls wash their hair everyday, which I knew wasn't good for other reasons but they do anyway.


It's still one of those things that makes you want crawl in a hole and hide. I hope the looks blow over soon.


Yesterday and all the other old stuff.
Not to worry.  No depression here.  I just think it's a beautiful song.
My 40th b-day was yesterday and .....
I have no wrinkles, no stretch marks, no gray in my hair and no extra weight. My chest is still where it was when I was 21 in spite of having three children. I wear a bikini at the beach (with a belly ring) and feel comfortable and confident doing it.

I have an agreement with my husband (who has superb taste in clothing and style)--if I ever dress in something that makes me look like I'm trying too hard, or in something that is unflattering or inapproriate for my age, he will tell me the truth. And he has been true to his word.

The true test for me on whether I can carry it off sucessfully is seeing 25-year-old men (and younger) take a second and third look with genuine appreciation and admiration. I hope that doesn't sound like a sexist remark as it is not intended to be; I simply think that women tend to judge other women's appearances based upon their own insecurities and maybe a bit of envy.

I feel, act and look younger at 40 than I did at 30. In my opinion, it all has to do with how you feel about yourself and how comfortable you are in your own skin.

I applaude women who take care of themselves and can wear younger, sexier styles with confidence.
Ours jumped yesterday
from $2.49 to $2.72. Don't know what it jumped to today. I saw that $2.99 on the news in Cedar Rapids-guess it isn't so bad yet in my small town.
well, they called me yesterday, but (sm)
I wasn't here.  So, she left a message, stating that if I had any questions regarding the new plan, I could call them back.  I aint even gonna bother...just see what happens when it happens.  But, if anyone else does talk with them, I'd love to know what they have to say! Good day all!
WHAT? SO YOU WANT US TO FORGET YESTERDAY?

I had the Administrator look at it yesterday. (SM)
Yes, it appears someone is posting boatloads of recipes.

The ForumMatrix is open to anyone.


Did not yesterday, but did today.

Could not access because the usual icon was not on my bar, and when I clicked on "My Yahoo", "mail" was not there.  I had to go the long way around.
