    Why not? Other MT boards refer people here all the time?
    Are we supposed to just pretend other sites don't exist?
    My problem is people who keep ridiculing others for typos on these boards!

    If the state boards are no longer active, why haven't they been removed so people don't waste

    I am sorry. I meant boards not broads. Now those darn boards have disappeared again.
    :
    but boards will be dano's boards and that's the issue. no one dare disagree with dano.
    yes the boards will be boring with just one-sided opinions but we need to please dano. isn't that the purpose of MT Stars?
    Thanks because that was really annoying ! nm


    Oh yes. It is very annoying to say the least. sm
    I take a lot of breaks during the day and go outside to get fresh air. I actually think the anxiety is what is causing the heart palpitations. I have a prescription for Xanax, which I cannot take and work, but I do use it at night before bed on a very infrequent basis.
    yes really annoying
    equipment, moaning patients, laughing and talking nurses, barking dogs, and children crying or trying to get mom or dad's attention (stop that, I'm dictating!) funniest one was an announcement over the loudspeaker about a pizza delivery to the nurse's station.
    it's really annoying
    happens quite a bit.   I do get the credit though I put in a note that says dictator did not complete report but I still get paid for what I typed.
    that would be annoying....
    guess there is job security after all.
    very annoying
    I have an RN who dictates I have a problem with this chart.  She also gives lab values and then says No, I don't like those lab values, just delete them. . It's very annoying and also, what does it mean? How can you not like the lab values. . . Just a little irritated this morning. . sorry to vent. .
    annoying
    It is just annoying to get your speed up on an account and get used to the dictator and then they go and quit giving you that work for a little while and then they want you to do it again. So wishy-washy. I don't get it. It seems like it would be easier on the company to put you somewhere and leave you.
    annoying
    Something that bugs me to no end is when dictators use the word "nor" constantly and incorrectly.  grrrrrr..... 
    Annoying!
    I have one female provider who sounds like she is sucking on a lozenge the whole time. Worse than that, one doc clicks his pen over and over while I wait for him to say something (which is usually impossible to understand anyway).
    ugh. baldwins are annoying now.
    fat and bloated.
    annoying dictator
    Here's a good one; 7-1/2 minute dictation, first minute put on hold, then dictator dictates for two minutes, then says, Never Mind, Lets start this ALL OVER.  And they wonder why we are tense
    Annoying dictator
    If you are being paid by the line, I sure would dispute this! They have no idea, do they?
    Do you ever get that annoying *bubble*

    in your ear?  I have one in my left ear today and I can't get it to go away.  You know, when you talk and you can hear yourself really LOUD!  I have tried popping my ears....I tried irrigation....I thought I may have had water in it from my shower this morning, but nope.  It's driving me nuts and has made it very difficult to hear on that side today.  Does anyone have any tips on getting it to go away?


     


    Annoying crickets sm
    You know, I love summer with the sounds of birds and all that, but this cricket outside my window is driving me absolutely batty.  GRRR. 
    ok now I see it - extremely annoying. NM

    Management again. SO annoying.....

    Yes!! About 10 days for me. Very annoying.

    annoying doctor
    I have to say you gave me my first good laugh today. I have had doctors fall asleep and say, well, you know my routine, but just let me know if you cannot figure it out.
    Oh golly, that must be frustrating and annoying.
    maybe you can make a game for yourself of second-guessing the QA folks. It sounds like they are the kind of ill-informed people who would rather cling to their ignorance like grim death than open their minds and learn something useful. If you look at figuring out their foibles as a game, maybe it won't rankle so much.
    So annoying to get a good debate going, and then it's gone.

    How annoying. What is it with the flaky factor?

    Not transcription related but I am trying to get volunteers to help with a big community theater project and I don't know how many times I get the "oh yeah I will definitely be there blah blah" and I end up with mostly no-shows!!! I mean I know it's volunteer but why lie? If they don't want to, just $%#^ SAY SO..  Can't imagine people doing that to a real job, what idiots. 


    Put annoying redundants in your expander...sm
    and at the end of your pay period, count them and either aggravate yourself or LYAO all the way to the bank!
    if you live among trashy people, low income people, people w/o goals or direction,
    content to just get by, you by default become a part of a group. "people" have decided to group trailer people as trash. that is because there are enough people in that group to earn the title and even if you aren't trash, you are categorized by others. did i think i was trash in lower class neighborhood surrounded by people who drank and fought all weekend? no but i knew i wasn't staying and did not try to pretend that all the fools in the neighborhood were just nice folks who ended up where they were because high horse snobs deemed their neighborhood low class. people for the most part live exactly where they belong because they don't want to educate themselves, they don't mind "trash" around them and they don't want to be bothered trying just a bit hard to extract themselves from that world. they justify everything to themselves i guess saying everyone who doesn't like their lifestyle is a snob and the comedians (Jeff Foxworthy/Chris Rock, etc) who make fun of them are just ill-informed.

    As for me, I fought hard to get out and don't even want to look back. It amazes me people stay for generations.
    extremely annoying LOL I just did one today where the doc kept using the first name or the middle
    None of which was spelled.  Wish they would make up their minds sometimes.  It would be funny (I was getting a little giggle out of it at the time I typed it) if it weren't so frustrasting at the same time.  Have a good one! :)

    What is your most annoying redundant speech pattern? sm
    You how doctors always seem to have a pet word? They will use it until you are ready to smack them.

    Subsequently. Said by an ESL at least once in every sentence and pronounced sub see QUEENT ly. He is also says Prolene mess potch and plook for mesh patch and plug.

    Next...next this, next that, next, now I...

    At this moment. Did you know you can start every sentence in a 2-page report with at this moment?

    then
    then
    then

    and THEN I screamed and was heard in the halls of every hospital in America.
    New nominee for most annoying doctor today s/m
    This guy is walking on the treadmill while he's dictating, so not only is he so scatter brained he doesn't know what he's talking about, I get to enjoy the heavy breathing.
    I have one who yawns a lot. Kind of annoying but I guess he's just tired! (nm)
    nm
    Yeah, really! What an annoying, obnoxious, bottom-feeder she is!
    Star sucks, bubbye loser!
    In it to lesson annoying contact with the management species.
    ;p

    so many people was wishy-washy nowadays...love to see people make
    a stand for what they believe in...

    it is kind of wierd those statements have to be made in the first place but guess we are an ever-transitioning country and are still young. so many different beliefs yet not much tolerance.

    I found your post respectful, and right on as to how you feel. it does not seem that difficult to sift through to read and respond to messages someone might not care for...
    I am new to the boards...
    and I am not too sure if I want to stay on these boards. I am afraid to say (write) something wrong and get crapped on! I think that *some* people need to grow up. You are ruining it for everyone one else that enjoys to post and read the boards!
    Welcome to the boards!

    If you look at the ads on various job boards they

    list equipment.  Some still use C-phone, some use Lanier, some use wav pedals, some require you to rerecord and there are still a few small local ones that still use tapes.  Even though some companies use the internet, some you download and work off-line, others you have to be connected the whole time you are working so high-speed is a must, either cable or DSL.   I you are going to buy a foot pedal I'd get a generic that would work with ExpressScribe or Start/Stop, one that is capable of working with multiple types of voice files.  The ExpressScribe software is free so you just need the pedal.   I haven't read your other posts so don't know if you are trying to go on your own of what, but if you are working for a company I wouldn't buy a foot pedal until you have a job where you need one.  Some companies use a proprietary software and you need a specially configured foot pedal.  You can always download the free ExpressSribe and use the keys to do any testing.


     


    we don't have to be 100% on these boards...

    I see improper usage of their, there, they're all the time on the boards but doesn't mean that's what the poster uses in medical reports - sometimes people just forget and type the wrong word on public boards -


    Except for the word board, the admin here at this site says we are never to correct the poster's typo.....so let it go, let God, and not to worry. 


    One should never assume anything in this business - one of the first rules of thumb. 


    MT boards
    You'll have to do a Google search or maybe someone will email you. There are others, but it is against the rules of this website to direct people to them, at least on these boards.
    and all the other job boards - there are may outside of two.

    There are already boards where you can
    do this and they can also post on the various word boards.  I help on the word boards when I can, one even has at least 1 physician who frequently helps, and with a word board you get a whole lot more experience than you would working one-on-one with someone. 
    Have seen it on other non-MT boards too
    Don't know if it is the general mindset of people in tought times; participation at another site I frequent is down significantly because of the negative and attacking posts.

    :(
