Transcription is "dead in the water" - dll

Posted: Jun 16th, 2016 - 11:23 pm In Reply to: So other advice then? - Sierramerch

Have been doing medical transcription for some 30 years ... hospitals used to be great to work for ... good pay and benefits. Now no hospital it seems wants anyone working for them, either in-house or at home. Thankfully, I am now at retirement age and don't have to put up with any more of this crap. I wouldn't even trust them with coding jobs ... maybe try some other industry, like Sykes United States; you can work from home as a customer service rep.
