Hi other Emily!! :) I took a look at my own medical records and was apalled at the medical errors and mistakes in the reports... There should be some standard in this industry! I work my ass of and have 98-99% accuracy for the past 10 years and it is disappointing to see what they are willing to accept to save some money. If the average person knew that their medical records were not being done with the quality and care that I make myself give... I think most would be upset. Maybe I'm crazy... but I know this as well, not EVERYONE can be a transcriptionist! This is a skilled trade and I am definitely feeling unappreciated lately, but obviously there is little we can do about it. About your own company, I am an IC, and I just asked for a raise (i should have just stated it) but either way they aren't taking it. I was underbid by 2 cents a line and they, I'm sure, will go with them even though they "want to keep me". I feel angry that there isn't some standard that we are set forth and that we all have. Then again, it's all gonna go to voice response at some point, and only editors will then be needed. It's time for a career change, it's just a sobering thought and I'm not ready to do it... Good luck with what you decide
