Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Lori, I have come to think of everyone here as my " team " and " coworkers " . I work for a hospital, but we all work at home. There are only a few of us who work in the evening and a lot of the time I am on by myself (or at least don't know if anyone else is working). So it is always great to me to know that " my team " is still working and I can count on y'all for a little communication if I need it. I have been really glad to see the way everyone on this list is so supportive of everyone else and tries to help out, no matter what. You don't see that kind of " teamwork " on some of the other MT lists that I belong to. So Lori and everyone else on my team, this Bud's for you. Margaret >>> " Lori Winkler " 06/03/01 02:16PM >>> I think this group is just a blessing to have as everyone is so observant and helpful as well as " super nice " ! I value this groups opinions/suggestions/thoughts as there is just so much knowledge here, etc., (okay, I won't start getting mushy). I'll just say as someone had said before which fits perfectly, " I consider you all my cubicle friends. " : ) I am sorry I cannot remember who said that, but this Buds for you!! Anyway, these are just my thoughts. I am sure I have carried on way too long! Please excuse the typos as I really don't feel like having my nose in the books right now; although, I should be working!

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Hi Margaret, As always, you always seem to flow with the right words, and I feel exactly the same--glad to be a part of it! I have to say that at least once a week I am pulling an all-nighter (usually Thursday), gosh that sun coming up is just ugh! I do a lot of nights too as I am sure you can tell. : ) Thanks for the Bud. Actually, thanks for all the Buds. After I got Margaret's Bud, I am thinking gee I have no more typing tonight and could actually have one. Sometimes when I have no typing (which is hardly ever) I just don't know what else to do first! Have a good one y'all. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Valeria, Feel free to use my " improving doctor " story in your classes. Also include the fact that he really did look like " Doogie Howser " only a few years older and around the office we would actually call him " Doogie " . He was just so cute. Something else you may find interesting. My sister's son was found to be a " genius " with an IQ of over 150 when he in was about 11. She then studied a lot about geniuses just so that they could help him learn to cope and to live in the world with us normal people (and she has done a great job by the way). Anyway, one of the things she found out that is true of most geniuses is that they can't spell and that their handwriting is atrocious. When she told me that, I just knew that it really fit. These docs sure can't spell and I would dare to say that most are probably in the genius catagory. However, I also keep thinking that there must be a lot of geniuses out there who can spell, and they have all become transcriptionists (hahaha). Just a little something to think about when we get a doc spelling things like saiety (which is exactly how he pronounces it by the way).

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 Margaret, Thanks for the input! And I love your " improving doctor " story--may I use it in class? I really appreciate your taking the time to give me such a complete answer, particularly since you have reinforced my own notion of what a medical transcriptionist's approach to accuracy of construction--as well as to accuracy of spelling, punctuation--and so on should be. It's probably expecting too much to want physicians to be experts on the anatomy, physiology, pathologies, tests, and remedies for human ailments and experts on sentence structure, syntax, punctuation, and spelling as well. On the other hand, knowing that there are employers who expect verbatim transcription (except, one hopes, for dictated misspellings and dictated incorrect punctuation) enables me to make sure my students are aware that they may be called upon by some employers to transcribe only what they hear.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2001 Report Share Posted June 3, 2001 I thought I'd put my two cents in about transcribing what the doctor says versus doing it so it actually makes sense and reads well. I work a verbatim account, so supposedly we are typing exactly what the doctor says. What I've found is you try and make a happy medium between what he actually said and what he probably " should " have said! I do a lot of ESLs, so they are always saying things like, the patient drinks two soda cans each day or he takes Tylenol over the counter. If I was required to actually type it that way ...! It would drive me nuts! So sometimes the big challenge for me is how to type what they said without typing what they said. I also have a doctor who uses the word " and " in place of period and another one who throws in punctuation when he must finally realize he should have said period three paragraphs ago! I type for one LCSW who sent a note down the pike that we were not, repeat not, under any circumstances to change her punctuation ... so, she has run on sentences that you wouldn't believe and we have to type them that way. It would be great to be able to just type what they said and have it make sense and it always seems to come back to who is signing the paycheck! I do change the really glaring errors though - Friday the doc said he prescribed a narcotic to the patient, he was to take 30 tablets a day ... hmmmmmmm, to say the least I changed it (although he did not give a dosage) and flagged it. Anyway, that is how I experience a " verbatim " account! I'm a real newbie, though and this is the only job I've had. I decided after a month the challenge wasn't so much the medical terminology as it was keeping the patients from going down as having ingested soda cans! Teri PS - please ignore any typos ...

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2001 Report Share Posted June 4, 2001 In a message dated 06-03-01 9:06:11 PM Eastern Daylight Time, MGrant@... writes: << That's my opinion anyway, Margaret >> That's my opinion as well. If we were only required to type EXACTLY what they say, we would indeed be just secretaries or typists, not MTs. Here's a case in point for you: Dr X dictates that a child should be given a medication, but what he dictates is 3 times the normal dosage. What do you do? If you were a secretary or typist, you'd type exactly what he said, and probably have no idea in the first place that it was wrong. That's what sets us apart from " clerk " type employees. It's our job to know that what he dictated was a triple overdose. Naturally, the rules of where you work would decide how you handle this situation, but no way would you just transcribe it and send it through. It would have to be questioned or flagged in some way, shape or form. This is a prime example of why the words " verbatim transcription " personally bother me. I look at it this way.. If I'm supposedly too stupid to change he/she issues and grammar issues and fix words the doctor mispells, how on earth would I be smart enough to flag a situation as described above? Where does one draw the line? Like Magaret, I am very thankful that I have never worked for anyone who demanded that I transcribe everything exactly as dictated. Morally it would bother the daylights out of me and I'd have to make some hard decisions about finding another job, because I just don't think I could live with myself if I sent through reports that I knew were wrong. Please understand, this is NOT a criticism of anyone, but just my opinion. In case you haven't noticed, I get really rabid about this subject, especially because in my opinion, I think the ones who try to demand " verbatim " transcription are people who don't have a clue what MT is all about. I have always hated it when people who don't do my job try to tell me how to do my job.
