Question re: new docs or same docs

Posted: Aug 25, 2012

I'm wondering if anyone out there can give me an idea of something. I work for a hospital. I've been there about a year and a half, and I get new doctors almost every day (we have literally thousands of doctors working for this group of hospitals). I recently learned that many of the other transcriptionists get the same docs all the time. This is making me extremely frustrated because I can never get my line count up because I'm constantly trying to learn new docs, their accents, their mumblings/ramblings, looking up sample reports, and it's extremely frustrating just because I spend so much time trying to understand new docs every day. I'm wondering what online companies are like. Could anybody out there give me an idea of what it's like to work for online companies? Do you get different docs all the time, or do they give you the same docs? This is an intensely frustrating situation for me and, frankly, it's driving me crazy -- I'm about ready to quit because I can't do it any more. I'd really appreciate some insight from those who work for online companies and what's it's like. Thank you!

You would get more responses on the main board - but if I were you, I would

Stay put. The amount of dictators you get varies with the companies you work for and its not likely that you will get the same doctors all the time.

Where I work, I do multiple doctors. Sometimes I get the same ones over and over and sometimes not. Some days I can type for over 30 to 40 different doctors it just varies and in many cases work is automatically generated so you cant pick and choose what or who you want type.

As far as working for a company goes, I had no choice when my hospital outsourced, but I do well where Im at. Everyones experience is different.

Where I work reports are not automatically generated -- we have girls who assign work. Plus, I've talked to many people who say they get the same docs all the time. Thank you for your response.

Well if the work is being assigned perhaps you - should politely mention to

whoever is doing the assigning that you would like to get the same docs assigned to you as well sometimes. Just be real nice about it and bring it to their attention.

Its only fair if their doing it for the others in the dept.

Respectfully, I come to the Gab Board to get away from - MT conversations. Please use main board.

I did move this to the main board -- I just forgot to delete it from the gab board. I realize how this must have horrified you. How will you sleep tonight?

I was very courteous to you. - Try it yourself sometime.

This is a transcript of three tapes on the "New Order of Barbarians", referred to on the tapes simply as the "new world system." Tapes one and two were recorded in 1988 and are the recollections of Dr. Lawrence Dunegan regarding a lecture he attended on March 20, 1969 at a meeting of the Pittsburgh Pediatric Society. The lecturer at that gathering of pediatricians (identified in tape three recorded in 1991) was a Dr. Richard Day (who died in 1989). At the time Dr. Day was Professor of Pediatrics ...

The same IRS office that deliberatelytargeted conservative groups applying for tax-exempt status in the run-up to the 2012 election released nine pending confidential applications of conservative groups to ProPublica late last year.

After being without health insurance for two years, Miranda Childe of Hallandale Beach found a plan she could afford with financial aid from the government using the Affordable Care Act’s exchange.

But instead of being able to pick a primary care physician to coordinate her healthcare, Childe says she repeat ...

I am making a blueberry pie to take to my stepfather tomorrow, and I thought it would like nice to use a cookie cutter in the shape of a bell and apply that piece of crust to the top of the pie. If I use a little bit of water to attach it, will it bake to the top crust securely? A lot of you sound like you are pretty handy in the kitchen! The lemon sponge pie I made for Thanksgiving was wonderful. Thanks to the person who suggested the allrecipes.com webs ...

I'm always facinated at some people who think all social problems and situations are so black and white.Abortion is here to stay, whether it's legal or not, just like it's always been an option when a woman finds herself facing the impossible situation of an unwanted pregnancy. Wishing it wasn't an option has never worked.However, when a discussion comes up about abortion, we women are strictly divided. Black and White in our opinions.This is a complicated issue. It doesn ...

Don't know if you remember my last posts awhile back about a stray cat we started feeding and took care, gave her shelter for the winter and she had kittens. We've taken the kittens in and adore them all. Now...here she is 3 or 4 months later, every once in awhile I'll get a glimpse of her nursing them. Vet told us milk has to be dried up before they can fix her. However, she is a stray and she has been going out walking around the neighborhood like she has ...

Okay, here is a question that I have not seen come up here. While watching news today this just crossed my mind. If the government sets an insurance rate you have to pay based upon what you make per year, do they take into account all your other bills, and that sometimes as ICs we don't get any work coming in at times, and then what they set is more than what you can afford (i.e. more money than your paycheck and you still have to pay all your bills). As ICs I'm sure ...

Due to huge fibroids, bilateral ovarian cysts, and a myriad of symptoms, I've been told I need a TAH. Doctor tells me I'll be out of work 6 weeks but as I'm an MT and just sit at my desk anyway, I don't see a 6-week absence as being necessary. Has anyone here had a TAH as an MT or with a desk job and how long was it necessary for you to be off work? ...

One of my 2yo males has a cyst on the side of his head. I just noticed it this morning, it's about the size of a golfball and underneath his ear. Its not in his mouth. He is eating and drinking fine, doesn't seem to be in any pain. How could it have gotten this big without me seeing it? Anybody have any experience with these? I called the vet and waiting for a call back. I did some research and found out it is most likely benign, soft ...

This may sound like a stupid question and please do not flame me for my ignorance, but I am trying to learn and trying to make my political decision making count for something. so here is my question.....

Just curious about a couple of opinions. First of all, I like to tan. I know the health risks, etc., but I enjoy the way the sun makes me feel and I enjoy my skin with a tan. We just recently moved to "town" into a neighborhood. I live in a small area. I have a fenced in backyard and the neighbor is pretty close and their yard is also fenced in with a separate fence, not even joining mine. So, yesterday, beautiful day, I decide to lay out in the sun. I park m ...

Hi everyone, I absolutely love Swarovski Crystal, in particular their earrings. I have a couple of pairs that I paid full price for, but they are too expensive. (Earrings run from $60-$300+.) I saw that E-Bay has a really nice selection, and you can just do a Buy Now for way under market price--I'm not into the bidding thing, BTW. Thing is, how do I REALLY know it's Swarovski? Some of their jewelry is signed, and some of those posts say so, but not all their jewelry is signed ...

This has probably been asked before...can't remember...but here goes: If your employer offers insurance, are you ineligible for obtaining insurance on the marketplace? Is this a state-by-state issue?

I have an insurance Marketplace question. If my income turns out to be higher than expected for 2017, will I have to pay a penalty? I know I will have to pay the taxes that would be owed, but is there anything on top of that? I also know it would be significant enough to change my monthly insurance premiums to a higher amount. It's a long story, but something got screwed up and I think I'll owe the taxes---I just don't want a penalty. ...
