Repeat to: MT profession vs. cleaning toilets. - Tidy-bowl lady

See, this is a perfect example. Great!! - So we have people willing to make the same amount doing medical transcription as cleaning toilets. That makes me feel better after 15 years of experience. No wonder this profession is in the toilet. They hire people with 1 year of experience and Cbay "stipens" their people for 6 months only then puts them in a production environment. Good luck to patients getting accurate medical records is all I can say. This will not go over in the longrun, guaranteed. Unfortunately, we do have to deal with it until somebody with some power and/or inaccurate medical records gets the guts to actually do something about it. I don't care how good you think you are...fact is, the only way to get proficient is to have transcription time under your belt, and 6 months, even a year, is not enough to be let go on your own. Very sad they charge you for sending reports to QA. Although, doesn't really matter now in the whole MT profession, it really does pay the same as cleaning toilets, so it's just up to you which you would rather do at this point.
