Working an average of 6 full days a week, 10-12 hours a day, with only 3 days of time off all year, and no sick days, I made just over $20,000. This with over 30 years of extremely well-rounded medic ...
Seriously - they are being dragged through this with us. They need their jobs just like we do. I am sure they don't like it and their kool-laid pitchers are empty but they have to play the game.

I've been perusing laptops on Amazon. Never had one before, so don't know that much about them. If you were going to use one for one week out of each month to transcribe on, which one would you buy? Or, if you already use one, what kind did you buy and why?

just got off the phone with a person at the Q who should know questions about the acounts, right, and so I ask her if a heading should be social history (I'm old school) or just social.
