MTs have been "divided and conquered" because of the very nature of our job - sitting at home isolated in indivudal offices. What kind of impact would it have on Nuance and other companies of their kind if half of their work force was "sick" on a given day? Just a thought, sisters and brothers. We will continue to be mistreated and discounted until we find our ...

Do they really think we believe that all the TSMs "forgot" to relay us that important bit of information at the same time? Don't they know that we're intelligent people who aren't so easily duped? Interesting that the 0.88 announcement comes out AFTER the teleconference meetings regarding the new plan! It's SO transparent that they pointedly avoided having to feel the disgruntled-MT heat or listen to the multiple valid complaints about it! ...

I swear to all that is holy, this is what this less-than-stellar PA just dictated: "The patient IS a high-risk gestational trophoblastic disease..."

Under the diagnosis, the doc says: 1. Hypokalemia likely due to medication use. Rule out primary s/l hyperolestrionism. Yeah, I know that's wrong. Any electrolyte experts out there? This is total mumbling. I'm really not sure it even begins with "hyper"--could be "hypo" as well. ...
