A community of 30,000 US Transcriptionist serving Medical Transcription Industry
Does anyone know of a legal recourse for work injuries caused by company equipment? A market leader, at-the-time generous transcription company sent me an old fashioned monitor, which after years of looking at it caused ocular saccades (lateral jitter of eyes). Also, they downgraded to cheap earphones with a solenoid in them that thumped, decreasing hearing permanently, evidently, in the solenoid fitted side of the headset.
I think the saccades are diminished to absent now, but vision seems permanently affected. Hearing in the impacted ear is about half the clarity it was at hire.
I see potential here for a protracted legalistic exercise yielding nothing in compensation, as, after ten years with the company, the damage has plateaued.
Still love those doctors, though; and the good transcription outfits who are kind, smart, and take care of both clients and employees.
