Have you ever had someone dictating with a piece of hard candy, clicking around on his teeth in the back of his mouth?

lmbo! ::BURP::

My doctor just gave me a very unusual patient name and didn't spell it,

then she's trying to read the date of discharge and says, "God, can't anybody write?  You're going  to have hold off on that because I really can't read any of this."


Hmmm, doc, it's just like YOUR DICTATION.....couldn't you at least spell the name or say it twice the SAME WAY within 2 sentences.


Okay, I'm done venting now.


No, that is disgusting!
Nasty!
That is truly disgusting. nm

Yes, it is disgusting. SM
I go to several MT jobs boards and they are all alike.  I have been in this business for a long time and can do most specialties including hospital reports to include operative reports.  I see the ads where they want "client ready" transcription and have to chuckle when they offer 7 to 9 cpl.  I have gotten to the point where I will not even apply for those positions.  Do I have hospital experience?  You bet I do.  So why are overseas transcriptionists taking my money when the MTs in the States can do the job better and just as fast.  I stopped applying to those companies with their insulting line rates.  Then they try to screw you over some more by not paying for spaces.  If US MTs refuse to work for these companies and they are not allowed to send the work overseas, who is going to suffer?  A lot of hospitals and states are now making it known that the work is not to be sent overseas and it is in their contracts.  Are things looking up?  I truly hope so, but I doubt it. 
That is disgusting. nm

OMG. That's disgusting. Especially after just lowering our pay.

You are disgusting yourself to post
about another human being!! You ought to be ashamed.
and sin is sin. it's abominable, disgusting, and
you'll never be saved and do that.
I never thought he was hot. He's disgusting. sm
And his personal antics with many women (other than his wives, that is other women when he is still married) make him someone I would never admire in any way.  As someone said below, GROSS.  Ugh!   Like a spindly leg strutting spider with 20 pounds of collagen in their lips.  Yes, I know they are real.  But Ugh still stands!
disgusting husband
Is she a friend of yours or just an acquaintance?  Perhaps you could talk to her.  She can't possibly be happy.  Maybe all she needs is some support to get out on her own and away from him.  
I would report that. It is disgusting.

Wow - how disgusting is right. Sure shows you
It's right up there on the Sickening Scale with that video someone posted a while back of "trainers" teaching companies how to bypass American workers' job applications, so they can then justify their outsourcing by saying there "aren't enough American workers".
There sure aren't - not when you kick all their applications under the rug or into the round file!
We need to lobby for laws in this country that will put a heavy tax on companies who outsource American livelihoods to other countries. We might as well put "For Sale" signs on our beaches, farmland, and national parks, because that's what'll be coming next.
kind of sick and disgusting...

Disgusting commercial, huh?! Hahaha
I use Brawny paper towels and Lysol Kitchen spray on counters and appliances. I use plastic scrubbies on the sink and anything I need to scrub up before the dishwasher and the put the scrubbie in the dishwasher as well. I spray Lysol on the sink and faucets before I go to bed.

I started this when I saw Oprah's show on women who horde and won't clean/throw away anything. The experts she had on the show had checked one woman's kitchen sink for bacteria and compared it to her commode and the commode was cleaner! I about fell over. I have dishcloths and dishtowels but they are washed after every single use! Ewwwwww!
Yes, he was out of breath - could hardly get words out - it was disgusting
nm
the game sounds pretty disgusting...

They type like they talk - and fly under the radar - disgusting!
No one at the top cares as long as they get their third party payment.
Disgusting is an understatement but nobody can/will stop it. Nobody cares but us is right.

How can they have "English typing skills" but not need to know how to speak English?  How can they understand it if they can't speak it?  Mind boggling.  And how do they get away with it?  Because it's cheap and JACHO doesn't care nor does the organization formerly known as AAMT (new title without "American" and "Transcriptionist").


Oh bullshit, that is such a lame excuse. The same lame excuse that has been
time someone doesn't agree with offshoring.  Of course I have bills that need to be paid...EVERYONE DOES!  And, guess what sweet cheeks, I have a job and it's with a company that doesn't offshore!  Wah...wah...wah all you want, but this site does not support offshoring private health information and if you don't like it, run somewhere else because there are a lot of us here that DON'T agree with you!
Motel housekeeper when I was 16. That was a physically demanding and disgusting
job. The supervisor was always riding us to clean faster, but we made less money if we got the job done in fewer hours. Why on earth would we work faster to clean a room in 20 minutes or less just so they could pay us less?

Anyway, it was a nasty job. The things people do in motel rooms were often immoral and illegal. I had teenaged boys on a soccer team throwing condoms at me. People used to rent rooms to party, get drunk, do drugs, and other things. They left behind pornography and other things an innocent 16 y.o. had never even seen before.

Then this adult male "guest" was wandering down the hallway in just a pair of shorts. We were supposed to help the "guests" so I asked if he had misplaced his room key. He pulled his shorts off and came after me. I grabbed a bottle of acid to spray him in the eyes and called security, but the cops never found him. He had overturned the bed in his room and set up a pup tent in there. What a weirdo. I quit that same week because the housekeeper supervisor was a shrew. She's still there 20 years later. Never had any motivation to do anything else, I guess. That job taught me how to clean thoroughly and quickly, but also taught me that I would never be anyone's grunt.
I find it totally disgusting that benefits are tied in to production.

Call your doctor - this is not a doctor forum! nm

You know the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn't think he's a doctor. nm

Well of course we know that now. Back then we didn't because he didn't allow unfettered access.
c
right we children didn't tattle to the administrator did we. BTW, didn't you think we were &#
because some half-witted idiot said everyone was jealous because some other anonymous poster said they were going to be a doctor. Didn't they call it doctor envy. Oh yeah, that was all about you wasn't it busy-body MT. You with your degree and premed but yet you still post here and acuse others of jealously. I dunno but you and dano seem so close, I can't put my finger on it but I would say you could be computer clones. Jealous indeed. Children indeed. I think you are blowing your covers) dano and busy body MT. This whole "jealously" thing makes me think that you may be one and the same poster.
I didn't go into labor until 2.5 weeks later, so it didn't work. Sorry!...nm

Excuse you but --
I never said a degree or certification is required to become an MT, now did I?

I did say that a proper education IS required, and I stick by that; i.e., my analogy with the attorney/paralegal and nurse/MT, etc.

And she didn't prove me wrong either; she only proved how totally out of touch she is with this profession, and you proved that you like to try to put words in people's mouths! ROAR!
Excuse me???

uh, excuse a moi

>>>A drink (in moderation) every now and then, in my opinion, is better than being hooked on Prozac, Paxil, Zoloft, etc. 

Not if you have a legitimate chemical imbalance and require any or all of these medications to give you a normal life. It's when you don't take them under doctor's orders that you can have problems.


its an 11 - excuse you.

Excuse me??
Hope you are never old and suffering from pneumonia.
please excuse
sorry about the typos, just got off an 8 hour shift and now cannot type.
no excuse
I have the same problem and most recently the office visit for my child to have his ear looked at and that is all was $129.00....new office visit fee. I'm still wondering how any MD can justify such a fee. If they see 4 15-minute appointments in 1 hour, just regular visits, that's $519 an hour. Someone's living good.
Excuse me
I hate it when people like you say something like that. If you don't want someone younger (and possibly better) to be over you, then apply for the position yourself. Some ego you seem to have. Age has nothing to do with true experience or ability.
excuse me...

It clearly states OUTSIDE the post that it is NOT MT related...so you shouldn't have read it if you weren't interested. 


However, I believe that this is an open forum for MT issues, plus other things we would like to discuss.  Take a scroll on down the board, there's lots of non-MT related topics being discussed.


If you have a problem with non-MT related topics, DON'T READ THEM...dang...


excuse me?
whatever.
well, excuse me...
but I was referring to speaking and putting forth the effort to properly pronounce words, which can be a critical mistake when not pronouncing someone's medications correctly...not the fact that I left off an *o* in too...geez, get the point...(guess this kind of reply is why I rarely post on this board)...
Excuse me
but....things happen in a person's life expected or unexpected. She says she works 95% of the time. It should not matter if she works at home as an IC or in-house. Things do happen like it or not. It is a fact of life and should not be penalized for such. Companies should have a backup plan. Computers fail, etc.
Excuse me?
What is with people on this board. Why do you all insist on getting nasty when someone states an opinion, a well-informed one no less. Why must you all be so derogatory just like this doctor.

Why did I have time yesterday? Because I had no jobs available. Our accounts' work load is down and has been down over the past month or so. You know nothing about me or my job.

I hope you are right about the DSM-V it's about time. How psychologists versus doctors treat psychiatric issues isn't the discussion here. And for a matter of fact, mental retardation is NOT a medical diagnosis. It is an IQ less than a certain number depending on severity. What medical doctor gives an IQ test?

And shame on me for what? For taking a stand against ignorant people including doctors who insist on using derogatory terms?
EXCUSE ME
Well excuuuse me - I "thought" this was a free country.  You're obviously one who doesn't care that so much of the work in the US is being shipped to other countries. Perhaps you have all the job security you need, perhaps your husband hasn't been laid off because his place of employment went to Mexico.  I need a job that pays a decent wage and a wage that we deserve for the work we do.  I have a right to my opinion and a right to voice it - and I fully intend to keep on doing it despite of your lousy attitude !
Excuse me, but we all do NOT sm
do that and if you think that's the case you're so very wrong.  I can assure you though, your employer is aware of who is doing the cherrypicking and who isn't.  There's no reason for it and as another poster pointed out, the quickest way to lose respect. 
Excuse me. ....
I am tired of these types of posts. Those of us who ARE excellent MTs are making the money. We're doing just fine.

If you cannot make a living in MT, then it is more than likely you. If you aren't good at this work you won't make any money. You'll just blunder along making minimum wage at best.

No excuse ME...sm
Let me tell you something...You shouldn't judge MTs you don't even know, and you certainly don't judge me. Just because you ARE making good money does not give you the right to say those who haven't found a good job yet for whatever reason are not good MTs. How do you know? Have you reviewed my work or anyone else's on this board? I don't think so. You are doing fine because you have a good job with a good company obviously. Everyone is not that lucky. You have nerve let me tell ya! Don't make judgements about people or things you don't know about, and you most definitely do not judge me.
Excuse me?
I do NOT pretend to be happy at my job... I AM happy at my job and lucky to have it. Someday when everything goes to voice recognition, you'll be sorry. The fact that you feel so miserable at your job is your own opinion. This is not the place to point fingers at any individual. Speak for yourself.
Excuse Me?
How do you think you know me by my posts? You know nothing about the type of QA person that I am, but I would wager a bet that I am a FAR better QA than you are an MT.

EXCUSE ME?
do you know what an IC is?

I guess for the last 10 years, every "employer" of mine has been doing it wrong.
Gee, it would have been nice had my accountant informed me of this, don't you think?

PLEASE explain to me what I am mis-informing her about... I am speaking from EXPERIENCE, which apparently you aren't.

Maybe the employment agreement YOU have signed states all that. Yes I had a contract, stating what the cpl was, and if it states in the contract it will be increased after 3 or 6 months, then it will be, but not if that's not in the contract to begin with.

being an IC IS different. You set your terms, not them.
what is your problem?
