First Day on the Job

I worked my first shift last night as an actual Medical Transcriptionist! I think I got the worst possible dictator I could have for my first job. He was foreign, which makes him hard to understand. He also talked so fast that even when I slowed down the dictation as much as I could he was still talking to fast. And to top it all off he was a mumbler. What a way to start! Things can hopefully only get better.

I did get to see the report after it had been reviewed and there were still a few blanks that even the Quality Assurance department couldn't figure out. Let's hope tonight goes a bit better.

What are your hours and where do you go? You gotta love trying to figure out other peoples mumbles.

When QA can't figure it out, you know you're not crazy! Good thing to know lol.
