For stiff wrists, etc

Just found a great place for ergonomic devices. It is called Ergo-items.com. My right wrist gets a workout with having horses and helping get firewood ready for winter and it feels sprained most of the time (not carpal tunnel but on the ulnar side). It got so that I had pain all the time while transcribing, so I made myself an arm support that I placed on the arms of my chair to rest both arms on. This took the wrong angle off of my right wrist but it was like being in a highchair (lol). I looked at chairs with the arms that swivel in to make an arm rest but the price was just too much, especially with not being able to try the chair first and having to foot the shipping cost to send it back. I just discovered this website yesterday and they have a lot of good ergonomic products at reasonable prices. I ordered an arm rest that simply clamps onto your desk or work station and you can adjust it many ways. They also have foot pedal rests, mouse supports, and keyboards. Just wanted to let everyone know, as in this profession, our wrists, fingers, elbows, etc all take a beating.

While we pound our brains out until our backs ache and our wrists crack and pop
The trend toward more and more hospitals hiring for work-at-home MTs is helping and if they'd all go that route it would solve the problem.
I've been following your story because I find it disgusting the these MTSOs stiff people
and get away with it. I find it awesome that you had the courage to stand up to her and send this notice to the hospital. Why shouldn't they know what liars and thieves they contract to. A lot of business out there that subcontract, especially hospitals, are even running background checks so they know how they are dealing with. I'd file a complaint with BBB, Department of Labor..anywhere I could to get her bad name out there and hopefully if she does try to solicit more business she won't be able to. Again, I applaud you!!!! Good work!!!!

This is a sole proprietor, who will let you try out for a couple weeks, and then stiff on payment. She is all nicey nice in the beginning but look out, she will rip you off big time. Do not work for unless you like working for nothing.
