I just got a funny thought about the BOS

Posted By: MT234 on 2008-04-19
In Reply to:

If a boss were in the office should they put the BOS on the desk? (BOS = Bible of MTing).  I am really being silly here, but there is another conversation elsewhere about the pros and cons of putting a Bible on a desk in the school.  The BOS is getting about as controversial these days.  I don't think it is to the point where it is used to intimidate totally, but there are certainly some mixed feelings about this thing.  Do clients come before BOS... is the BOS the final word, or does JACHO have the final word.  Do we put the JACHO guidelines on the boss' desk.  Or what about the company manifesto (the MTSO we work for) which clearly does not state how they count our lines exactly and how benefits can be lost if not enough lines are accomplished. Now that is one book that would have to be banned from the boss' desktop.


Of course this is all moot.  Most of us are remote. There is, however, the boss' desk in OUR MIND which is there in our subconscious day after day.  We often wonder how that book changes, and if it is used for good or to intimidate.  Just IMHO. As anything else power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely, whether it be the BOS "bible," the JACHO quiz on site at the hospital about to pop any time on the employees, or the boss' ability to take away health or other benefits. Stinks in my opinion, but the way of the world. 


Thanks for listening to my rambling. Just a little ditty from an armchair philosopher!

I thought he was funny
Actually, I thought he was pretty darn hillarious!
I'm 60 and thought it was funny.

Funny, i have thought the very same
thing many times and often!  But having to be fair, there are ESLs who speak better English than American docs, although I hate to admit it....and don't get me started!!!  Just my opinion and too tired to type anymore tonight!  LOL.  But, yeah, but I just wished they'd go away... Of course, I also wish I didn't have to do this anymore.....dreaming on....lol   
Just got a funny thought, how about this:

You know how sometimes there are strange postings on the job board?  This MT feels like (but won't do it, just suggesting it) putting an ad on the job board which reads the following. Thank you in advance, by the way for your time in reading this. Time is money, after all, and this MT is appreciative of any and all of your time.


FAKE POSTING (do not attempt this at home, this is done by a professional, albeit uncredentialed MT)


MT-At-YOUR-Service.... MTSOs: Sign up now! This MT cannot be beat!


She will cook, clean, AND type any and all medical language specialty work you have AT THE SAME TIME.  Grab this offer now. Just send your name, phone number, and 3 personal and professional references and a resume of your MTSO proving that you will provide: Free food (because she is cooking for you); Free cleaning supplies (she cannot afford her own garbage bags), and a decent line rate, just because when she types, she needs to send the whole check to her family, not overseas, but to her starving family here in the USA.  Act now... the first 10 responses will be given Immediate consideration!  And if you call in the next 15 minutes, you will be given twice as much free cooking and cleaning, and this MT will even type at half the going line rate. Act now! Offshores need not apply.


Unprofessional but funny thought, sm

wouldn't it be wild if there was a Tourette's syndrome for transcriptionists, and we could just insert whatever random thought or opinion we had on the patient/dictator.


I'm in the middle of a patient's social history and the doc dictates his occupation, and then in the PE he says he's dignified looking.  I mean he's obvious very impressed by his social stature and I would love to say that!


 


 


funny, I thought poster was in FL/CT

  Funny how we all think here posting away *giggles* - I  thought the poster might be in Connecticut at the (Firefox or some name like that - foxfire? can't remember *L*) casino up there or might be in Florida and perhaps the Tampa area I was thinking....as the last things the Seminoles built by me was the Hard Rock Casino Resort and Hotel which opened in 2004. 


There are so many tribes, tho not a HUGE amount opening up casinos I do not think.  Perhaps the Miccosukee (sp?) in S. Miami.  :)


And when you think of $28 grand along with full benefits - it becomes probably closer to a $40 grand salary which is not bad for Florida IF poster is in Florida.


 



 


I wasn't offended. I thought it was funny. :-)

I thought this was funny. Going to start typing for a shrink. sm
We were discussing our deal last night, and he said something to the effect of, "Since it's psychiatry it might be different than what you're used to.  I'll spell."  LOL -- please, no spelling!  I told him he didn't have to spell things for me.  Although he seems to be quite with it, not a slobbery mushmouth like some we run into.  I just thought it was funny.  "I'll spell." 
I knew what she meant, thanks. I was just showing a funny, or at least I thought it was. Sorry to
  It was the "rumatyca" that got me laughing. 
You're funny. Ignorant, but funny.
I don't live in NYC and I don't work out of NYC and I make wayyyyy more than $23 an hour, SandyGIRL.

I'm an employee at the largest national and I make anywhere from $58K to $64K a year.

You don't have to believe anyone but you show your ignorance by telling those of us who make that money that we're full of it.

Hahaha
Sorry, that was not an ASR funny, just a regular ole dictation funny. LOL! nm
.
What a funny, funny reply. LOL
You are a genius! I am sorry you are ugly and fat. I feel bad for you, but what I can I do to help? Go to a plastic surgeon.
now that's funny, true, but very funny

too funny

girlyman hater, I think you are trolling us here.


the country singer type I have no idea about, but a smart humble guy... science is a plus... bein' good lookin' can't hurt, but I dont want a sweaty singin' cowboy.


*just kidding, but this is how you sound.


 


funny
When I first started I thought I heard "bologna amputation" instead of below-knee amputation.

thats funny
That is funny, you are right!! Daycares are better than boarding schools.    And I also agree that not everyone is cut out to be a stay at home mom.  On the other hand, not everyone is cut out to be a daycare provider and that is what the good parents have to worry about. 
OH HOW FUNNY
Thank you for the best laugh I have had all week!!!!!!  I am cracking up!!!!!!
SO FUNNY
I don't even work for MQ.  you think only some people can use BIG LETTERS in their posts?  CRACK ME UP!  I am just another MT who is TIRED of hearing all the constant complaining.  THANKS
That's funny! THank you!!
.
Now that's funny!
ROTFLMAO. Hope my husband doesn't catch me.
Way too funny! I had one doc that said:

Patient states, "I feel like s--t!"  I called my boss and said "I'm sorry, I cant type that in there." 


I used to work for an old cranky country doc that actually dictated the chief complaint as:  "Doc my b--ls are killing me."  I told him when I turned in the completed report that I had changed the chief complaint to:  Patient complains of testicular pain.  He just laughed and said, "That's why I hired ya!"


oh, funny!!!

Those, too! What's really funny is when

you confront an MT who is putting exactly 200 extra spaces at the end of each and every report and they are just DUMBFOUNDED that they are there. They have no clue as to how they could be getting there. So it stops. Then, before you know it, they are there again. Sorry, but they aren't magically putting themselves there. It's a macro, sweetums, and you're happy to be messing with "the man." Typically the same people will do it at the end of paragraphs, too, but of course with fewer spaces. Most of the time no one can see it, no one would think to look for it, but they're there.


The company I worked with called it "creating margin," aka the MT getting more money and happily shafting the facility that gets the transcription bill. Were the MTs told to not do that? Nope. They were not. Shame on the MT, and shame on the MTSOs who condone this behavior.


funny

Last year I made 56,000.  This year I stand to make slightly more.  I have my own accounts and am self-employed.  Also, I do quite a bit of pathology transcription locally.  I have done rad also in my time.  I am getting ready to get my CMT.  You don't have to go to school for this.  As a matter of fact, many that do go to school know less than I do, as a lot of schools don't teach what they should these days.  It is just a basic fact.  Whether you go to school or not doesn't make you a good MT.  It is your work ethic and level of committment and actual experience on the job. 


Also, you sound so immature in your posts like you are really mad because someone can be successful at MT w/o going to school.  How silly is that? 


funny you should ask -
It all started with MQ's chapstick (got rid of it).  Then, I tried some short of Chap stick - with extra moisture, worked for a while, then back to what it was after MQ's chap stick.  Think I will try what I was using before this all happened or plain Vasolene and see how that works and lots of water.   I am thinking my lips might be reacting to the sun block in the chapsticks.  I just got scared when I read malignant or premalignant condition - WOW!
And what is TOO funny is. . .

The idiots in the SUVs that have 4-wheel drive that pass you doing 70 in a blizzard.  Oh yeah, like it isn't SNOWING!  Hello? And your 4-wheel drive is designed to get you slowly out of mud, snow, etc., not race down the highway in a snowstorm.


I used to work 20 miles away down a major highway (45 mph speed limit).  I saw a total of 12 vehicles off the road in the snow last year in one week. All of them were 4-wheel drive SUVs.  Some had flipped over and landed roof side down.  Fortunately nobody had serious injuries, but these SUVs would just fly by my little car and leave me in total "white out".


I still don't get it how people who buy these hugh monsters think they are oblivious to snow.  It's slippery even if you're walking or driving a military issue Hummer.


Too funny... maybe he got bit (nm)

Funny
ER - You are just too darn funny.
What's funny ....
is the petty crap that these "holier than thou" people harp on and on about and then tell others how childish they are. Makes you just sit back and shake your head and say PRACTICE WHAT YOU PREACH!
You are so funny!
What makes you think because there are 2 people defending Medquist that we must be one and the same? How smallminded of you! Not everyone hates MQ, get it through your fat skull.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE FUNNY
I read your post while listening to Dr."Betyacanttranscribethis!" He is an ESL and cardiac to boot. (Why is it always that way?)Thanks for the chuckle.
too funny!

You gave me a good laugh.  Thanks for that!!!!


 



I really did think they were funny
You have to admit, this board is lousy without them. They kept the emotions high! I bet you MTstars will not have the turn out they have had the last few days with all the drama that has been going on - GUARANTEED! They were the life of the party - and this party has done and fizzled out!
It's really not funny, if
you want to be humerous, there are many more less offensive ways to do it. Even if everyone on this site is fat and ugly, so-- What? People don't want to read that. It would be greatly appreciated by most who visit this board if you would stop doing this.
very funny...nm

FUNNY!!!!
That's about it!!
that is funny
smart and a sense of humor, too! You have made me laugh after looking at my "in" bin and found there is nothing to do. LOL
That is funny!

This is too funny. We are really bad as well,
but not usually as nice a place. We do tend to eat out at a little local diner a couple times a week as neither of us feels like cooking. I'm blessed that he will share that chore with me as I usually work until 6 p.m.

And YES, tax time is coming and we'll all have to suck it up a little! Although, this year will be better than last for me as I nagged until hubby graciously (with several years of nagging)changed the tax they take out of him at work for my benefit.
Now THAT was just way too funny! sm

I will never again be able to use my crockpot without calling it my little potassium.


Weird thing is, I made chili in my big potassium last night too!


Don't feel bad, the other day I was going over some notes and I read where I put that the patient had had a large "bowel" of cereal for breakfast.


Now I find myself asking my kids, "You want that on a plate or in a bowel." They think I'm gross.


Very funny! (nm)
.
funny.
Same in canada. it is a joke here and we p ay for this in our taxes!! doctors make you sicker not better!!

especially when they prescribe drugs that are toxic for most peoples bodies!!
Oh now that is just WAY too funny! I do OB/GYN and

my 10-year-old daughter thinks I'm just "way too gross" to actually type the word vagina. I say, "well I type the word penis a lot too." (internal med) and she says"Oh mom! eeeeeuww, that is sooooo totally gross!!"


I tell her, "These are medical words for body parts. It is nothing to be ashamed of. Would you rather I just typed patient's 'thingy' instead of the actual part of the body and see if the people that pay me are okay with that?"


You are all TOO FUNNY!!!
