I don't get the email with the FAQ's about 6.1 says that the new physician look up (that apparently they are getting a lot of complaints from MTs about) is because of a security issue with choosing the wrong doctor. Well, I could understand THAT, but I don't see how this new slower way makes any difference in that regard....you could still JUST as easily choose the wrong doctor this way too.
The way they can and SHOULD address the problem of choosing the wrong doctor is to put the responsibility of sending cc's etc on the hospital, not the MT, who works on production. Or, have a specific JOB, since it's so important, where all you do is send out cc's..then you can focus and get it right. Not only do they put this on us, make us do the work of sending the cc (without pay I might add), we also have the responsibility if we get it wrong.......) something is WRONG with this picture.
