They don't care about quality, just a warm body doing an ass-backwards job. They want the largest cut they can get. We have too much competition across the pond and with technological "strides", if you want to be generous. Transcription has always been an outgoing of monies for the hospital budget. And now Medicare and Medicaid benefits require electronic medical recording in order to get that kind of funding or compenstation. (I don't know all the ins and outs, but I read it somewhere else on this board.)
We are doomed to go the way of the dodo and VCRs. We are soon to be has-beens.
Not picking on you; just think are bargaining days are over.
Enjoy your position for as long as you can, but I just lost two accounts within the last three months. One to offshoring and one to closing down because of the economy. It's getting pretty scary out there.
Can anyone think of any other types of work we could use our skills in at a hospital? Besides medical secretary? I cannot handle phones all day long.
May the universe guide us to our next fulfilling gig.
