the testing as I probably sent in my resume a bit late. I am happy that I did not take the so-called test and end up like some here, helping them with free transcription.
I do hope that whoever MDscribing is, they will be banned from posting jobs here in the future. I was suspicious when I did not see a website mentioned or a link to use when applying. Never again will I apply for a job that does not provide some proof of identity.
Sorry for those of you who got taken ...

He asked me for my card and asked if I would be interested in covering for her if she were to quit, be on vacation of what have you. He says is not doing EMR, does not want to do it.
This got me thinking, he is middle-aged, small 2-man practice, how many other small office need MT help and not going through nationals or doing EMR. I am getting a transcriber f ...
