My husband was having rust colored urine and suprapubic and abdominal pain. He went to doc who said he had infected prostatitis.

You know this is some food for thought. You know if there are any mistakes on any of these medical records being VR edited or transcribed and it went to court and you know how they say the transcriber/editor would be liable too, well think about this -- the tremendous amount of pressure that these companies put us under including the severe lack of pay, putting us on an almost impossible production scale among pressures from QA and so forth, a transcriber's defense is so easy and is a ...
