Neuropsychologist needs reliable transcription
|
|
| Peterrk 2005-12-10, 11:36 am |
| Hello to all,
I hope this post is not inappropriate for the group.
I am a neuropsychologist and generate 6-7 3 page neurospycholgical
evaluations per week plus maybe 20 short clinical notes, plus
occasional longer neuropsych reports.
My longterm transcriptionist is going through a personal crisis that
has lasted as long as the Iraq war and, like the war, shows no sign of
ending soon. She has not been able to perform consistently, and today
I lost a referral source because a report was late. As loyal as I am
to her and as much as I care about her, we just had the "last chance"
talk.
I wonder if any of you might like to work with me as a backup. I'm not
optimistic about my current person's future, so perhaps it could work
into a regular gig.
I work with an olympus ds-150 and email back and forth. The np reports
lend themselves to templates well.
Please email me to discuss.
Thanks
Peter Kaplan

I had a Psych account once and found it to be the easiest compared to,
say, the basic 4 ..... Fast, easy money and great line counts.
If this is a genuine job opp, this would be a great starting point
especially for new MT grads.
But after awhile though, it can get really "depressing." Some horrific
patient experiences just get to you.

True, but it's a passive-aggressive way to go about it, which is the
part that bothered me.

I agree, that information is not relevant, and I would not be eager to
get this guy's work. It's not professional to talk about the present
MT's personal situation.

| Didn't he say he'd already had the conversation with her? I wasn't
bothered by the information he provided, and it sounded like she was
already well aware that he was unhappy with her unreliability. He did
say he was looking for backup right now, leading to a possible
permanent situation.
One of the first questions I ask a potential client is why they are
unhappy with their current transcription service. It's good
information and helps me to better outline the client's needs.

| Like the new farrier I just called - I said I didn't want to badmouth
the last one, I just wanted someone who would show up - not reschedule 3
out of 4 appts, twice within a few hours or less.
But, maybe he doesn't really want to change. I emailed him as it sounded
like something I might be interested in. No reply. I figure if someone
posts publically asking, at least the courtesy of a response thanking
for inquiry would be in order - or maybe the email (sent to the address
two ways) didn't go through.

Me neither. I think he was stressing the fact that he needs someone who
will be reliable and dependable.

but the work still needs to get done, and if it's not, well... The doc

| Of course, too, there are always two sides. Some employers (or clients)
would give a worker a lot of flex room if a personal situation needed
tending to. Others, would gripe if they dared to take a day off with a
temp of 103 or a funeral of a close relative or friend. Of course, you
can't know that until you've got more information.

Speaking of anal psychs ... I used to work in a counseling office. One of
the psychologists on staff frequently did educational presentations, always
had tons of handouts for his secretary to copy and collate. One time she
accidentally left one page out, and you would have thought it was the end of
the world! He called from the conference to tell her the page was missing,
all in a panic over what to do. And when he returned to the office, he was
still in a tizzy and I think he might have even gone to her supervisor about
it. Months later, he was still pouting about it. Know what the missing
page had on it? A big triangle! Nothing else, no text, just a big triangle
that the attendees were supposed to make notes on or something.
We all had a good laugh at this highly-educated prima dona who couldn't
think outside the box enough to have everyone draw their own triangles.
Well, except for his secretary, who wasn't so happy over the big fuss he
made.
I occasionally run into him in the community now, and all I can think of is
the triangle incident. lol

<We all had a good laugh at this highly-educated prima dona who couldn't

There was this geri psychiatrist at a hospital where I worked years and
years ago. Talk about ANAL. This guy would dictate 7 and 8 page
reports. THEN, he would go over them with a fine-tooth comb and want
all sorts of "corrections" done. Now transcription didn't make these
mistakes. He just didn't like what he had said and wanted to change
things. Finally the HIM director told him he would be charged XXX
amount for every correction of HIS mistakes. He stopped doing that
pretty fast.
He was really weird. He drove an old beat up boat of a car, dented and
upholstery torn to shreds, and parked out in the farthest corner of the
patient parking area. He would not park in the MD lot. Little by
little he stopped coming around. We heard later he had a "nervous
breakdown" and was admitted to another hospital psychiatric ward. IMHO
that is where he belonged instead of treating poor old Alzheimer
patients and little old ladies with altered mental status due to UTIs.

| Well, his IP address puts him in Florida through Verizon DSL, and there is a
Dr. Peter Kaplan who is a neuropsychiatrist in Sarasota, so I imagine it's
him. I was curious myself if he was even in this country. His English seems
stilted to me, but maybe he just doesn't communicate well by written word.

I can relate to flaky ICs, but his remarks just hit me the wrong way.

If it's that chronic, I would think he should just dump her and
be done with it. As it sounded to me, he was just going to
string her along 'til he had another MT in place who was more to
his liking.
> Don't really see what the problem is.
I think he could have (should have) just said he was losing his
help and needed a replacement. Anytime I've ever heard anyone
badmouthing an ex transcriptionist/secretary, that person has
wound up being a royal PITA client.

I pictured a different scenario. I suspect there's frustration
on both sides. If he's going to dump her, he should dump her and
be done with it, rather than string her along just 'til he gets
the replacement in place.

I believe it. I've worked with several in the past. As a
general rule, they're just "wound too tight," compared to other
folks. Obsessive is an understatement.

LOL! I think back on some I knew and wonder how they didn't
drive themselves completely over the edge just by worrying over
the trivial stuff they worried about, while important things just
seemed to go by the wayside. Go figure.

That's the stereotype, but it fits. One of my first clients was
a psychology major. He was NEVER satisfied with ANYTHING he'd
written. Thankfully, I charged for his revisions, and I made out
pretty good on his work. Even so, he could be very aggravating.
He finished grad school here and moved to NY to go to Columbia
University for another degree. Bought a fax machine so I could
keep doing his work--because he couldn't find anyone else who

Not surprising to me. The medical director of the children's
psychiatric facility where I worked in the '70s was a very sweet
man. But he was troubled and wound up committing suicide. I
think back on the staff at that facility, and I can't think of a
sane one in the bunch.

Oh, dear - you must have had a bad experience. I have had the best
experiences with neuropsychologists. I have done work for a few and they
have been absolutely the BEST in terms of dictation style, easy to get
along with, very accomodating, etc.

I didn't think it was tacky. I sort of took it as a bit humerous. How
many times have we come here to complain about a doc, one of our ICs, or
whatnot?

I don't know that I have ever known a doc or a practice to dump a
transcriptionist who was doing the work, regardless of how slow the pace
was, until they had a new transcriptionist in place. I mean, regardless of
personal issues, the reports need to be transcribed, referral letters need
to be done, billing needs to be done, etc. I think it would be grossly
irresponsible to dump a transcriptionist until there is another one lined
up.

I see what you're saying, and, yeah, I reckon it's a rare one who
doesn't put his/her interests first. I just don't expect them to
go around talking about the current one like that.
The fact that he elaborated a bit much about his current
transcriptonist just sent up a red flag to me. It just didn't
seem necessary to paint his current transcriptionist in such a
negative manner to us.
Anyway, I wouldn't want to take a chance to work with someone I
knew would act like that, but that's just me.

In the '70s, I worked in child psychiatry, and there were a
couple of psychiatrists and psychologists who really liked to
change their minds about how they had previously dictated things.
I was an employee, and, back then (1970s) I was working on a
typewriter--with six carbon copies.
The last few with whom I worked (1990s) still liked to change
their minds about what they'd previously written, but they were
easier to take because I was working on my own and getting paid
for revisions <g>.

I have, but they were plenty mad about the situation in order to
go to that extreme.

Didn't sound as if all that was being done to me, anyway.

We complain to each other, though; we don't complain to
prospective clients--people with whom we would like to work in
the future.

Some of us do work with each other. For all anyone knows when we complain,
we could very well be complaining about someone here. Hell we didn't know
Tallulah's name until just recently. I just don't see the difference at
all.

| How did he post negatively about her. All he said was the woman has issues
right now and he has been trying to work around these issues with her, but
that it is just getting too complicated and it has been going on too long
and doesn't look like it is going to get better in the near future. The man
has a business to run and he needs to keep things going on his end. I think
he sounded like someone who has been bending over backwards and is
frustrated and has already lost some income due to it.

One wonders if he is really looking. As noted I responded and received
no acknowledgement of receipt, what I'd consider common courtesy since
he did come into this newsgroup looking. I've also been told via email
of two more folks who also replied and also receieved no response. Even
if he already found someone else, in light of the approach he made, a
polite "Thanks for your inquiry but I've lined someone up" would be in
order - in my opinion of course.

Well, yes, that's a possibility for some. I never have worked
for anyone else on the boards, so that hasn't been an issue for
me and, thus, I didn't consider that possibility.

I guess it's all in the eye of the beholder. He appeared to be
talking about her when it really didn't seem to be proper to me.
As I stated before, that sends up a red flag to me due to
past experience. To each his own.

| I agree. I was surprised when this came up as I thought his explanation was
perfectly okay.
The thing I wondered about was that he is sending back and forth by e-mail
which, unless it is being encrypted in some way, is definitely not HIPPA
compliant! I thought about answering him--I don't need more work, but could
use more money. I have done psych, and found it easy, but I wasn't sure
what "neuropsychology" involved. I only want another account that is
easy--don't we all.

| Dear sir:
I am a medical transcriptinist and a resident of the Philippines. My
colleagues and I am interested in setting up shop and we would welcome
an opportunity to transcibe your reports for you. We have all the
equipment and software needed to transcibe the reports here but we do
not have the technical knwoledge or the softaware needed to receive the
voicefiles that you will be sending. If you could help us get our
venture up and running we would gladly transcribe your personal reports
for 1/4 of the price you usually pay for transcription services. We
are in dire need of help and most of the people in the transcription
business here are very reluctant to share their learning experiences.
you may email me at erich_espiritu@yahoo.com.
Thank you.
