You know, I think I am typing better and faster without the fear of QA hanging over me. I never thought they were extremely helpful anyways. Usually they couldn't fill in the blanks and just nit-picked the report like a pecking bird. I have never had a report sent back from a client (knock on wood) because they were unhappy with anything. I spent far more time trying to please QA than the hospitals and doctors (and have told my supervisor that more than once). I find it kind of freeing to be able to send a quality report on to the hospital by myself and not have to have it critiqued by QA for a blank that even a psychic wouldn't know what he was saying. Sometimes I don't think the doctor knew how to pronounce a drug, disease or piece of equipment, thus he stammers, coughs, and mumbles through it.
