I don't know if a lot of MTs' 2-week notices are up this week or doctors are getting all their work in because of JCAHO inspections or a combination of both, but in looking at the full backlog (yes, I have access that I requested as an MME years ago), there are nearly 50,000 jobs in the system when typically it's around 16K to 20K. No wonder they're freaking out. ...

The changes and the unknown that hit us on a daily basis are extremely hard to take and now so many people out of work with no recourse. But to have to start the day without our superb supervisor KF, there just isn't anything left. No one left that cares about the clients and no one that cares about the MTs. I know they want us all to quit so they don't have to pay UE, but screw them. ...
