It took forever to catch on because the hospitals and docs did not have the technology and didn't budget for it...don't blame Obama because the medical industry is finally catching up.

Returned after a decade away from MT
I was in my own house and the div was proceeding. Now, I needed a job. Had been an MT from age 19 to 33 years of age. Only made sense to return since I had no other skills that could earn me a decent income. MQ and QA got me back here.
oh, you made my decade!!!
My stated my sentiments very well! The only other thing I would add is that with CB at her side, D went down hill fast. Something about lying down with fleas comes to mind...
Like I said, I'll take my decade of first-hand knowledge of her over

Stated Goal: Eliminate MTs this decade
Most are already aware (it is pretty obvious), but because some still refuse to open their eyes, I am posting the below from the Nuance website. It is actually a timeline of the Dictaphone Corporation's history, which is pretty interesting and goes back to Alexander Graham Bell.
Still, I find it noteworthy that they state in no uncertain terms that they want to "eliminate most manual transcription for healthcare in North America this decade."
"A major development took place in February 2006 when Burlington-Massachusetts-based Nuance Communications announced that it would acquire Dictaphone in a cash deal worth $357 million. In a news release Nuance Chairman and CEO Paul Ricci commented on the acquisition, which was completed by the end of March, stating: 'The combined resources, experience and talents of Nuance and Dictaphone will help accelerate the adoption of speech recognition to eliminate most manual transcription for healthcare in North America this decade, delivering over $5 billion in savings to care facilities and transcription service organizations.'
Under new parentage, Dictaphone was named a division of Nuance--the Dictaphone Healthcare Solutions division--and Schwager was named its president.
gosh -- it's been over a decade since I've heard of anyone being sued ....
I could understand if they wanted to fire people who they felt were bad actors or had bad atttitudes, but I've never understood how/why they'd sue individuals for expressing their opinion -- unless they could prove that there was deliberate misrepresentation going on --- and I personally cannot imagine why anyone would try to make any MT company look artificially worse -- so many have such real problems -- like overstaffing, crappy platforms, lousy supervisors, crazy-making QA departments -- endlessly -- and so on
I remember when I first started with a national years ago (not TT) and discovering that they had sued MTs for posting over at MT Daily -- I couldn't imagine why they'd bother. Even then there was more competition for really good workers (who might chose to work elsewhere based on some internet postings) than there seems to be these days ...
What a waste! Better they all clean up their practices and spend the money doing some employee satisfaction polling ...
