This is PRECISELY what I was ineptly

In Reply to: Anyone working on VR, SR or whatever name, listen in - My take
Trying to explain last week. It's the *too many cooks spoil the broth* theory and I think if those having problems with VR would examine it really closely, they might realize this is exactly why things the system was getting correctly suddenly go haywire. I've noticed it especially in terms that are expanded and should not be (kg, mg, WBC, things like that). At least one MT or perhaps several MTs are expanding these terms to add extra characters, and it's wreaking havoc with the system. I don't want the few extra characters bad enough to go against the client profile, so I change them back to the correct abbreviated term.
Also, with regards numbering, that becomes spastic depending on how the list is dictated. If the dictator says *number next*, all will be fine and the numbers will be correct; however, if the dictator is self-numbering as he/she dictates, this creates problem if each and every number isn't properly enunciated. Also, a VR system cannot override what is dictated (i.e., if clinician dictates 'number 3' when it should be 'number four,' the VR will go with what is dictated and override itself).
I'm all set to get bashed, flamed, called a liar, have it insinuated I'm a subhuman typist, and every other insult MTs who despise VR can think of, but VR is an amazing bit of technology in CAPABLE hands. By that, I mean MTs who are consistent and not expanding to garner a few extra characters in every report and educating the dictators on how to handle numbering, etc.
I love doing VR work and as long as I do not have to clean up each and every report, I much prefer it to straight transcription, as do my wrists, shoulders and neck.
Thanks for your input, and I'm glad someone notices the same human-caused glitches with VR!

 You don't have to go through all that work of being phoney baloney here on the net, how exhausting is that anyway? Thank God, it saves on the stress headaches and the teeth grinding, although I do that anyway but if I had to work with people my teeth would fly out of my mouth i'd grind so hard.
PRECISELY
People like this poster who don't need the assistance but will wiggle-worm their way through loopholes and use any end to the means are taking away from those who TRULY need the help, and it just p*sses me off to see someone VOLUNTARILY GIVE UP an income (especially when so many are unemployed right now) specificially to scam the system just makes me see red.
ARGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
This is precisely my theory, as well!! sm
One other thing that intrigues me...Patsy died of ovarian cancer, right?
Consider the fact that OJ Simpson lawyer Robert Kardashian died of esophageal cancer, and OJ lawyer Johnnie Cochrane died of brain cancer. While I realize that cancer strikes and kills many thousands of people, I find it interesting that people whom I suspect are guilty of other crimes end up dying of cancers related to their crimes. A lawyer who vocally defended a murderer dies of throat cancer....a laywer who was the "brains" behind the defense of a murderer dies of brain cancer....a mother who killed her own child dies of cancer of the reproductive system. Maybe it sounds more like sicence ficiton than a plausible proof of guilt, it's just something that intrigues me.
The ones not on this board are precisely the ones
