No. not martyr = victim...sm
you are a *victimizer*. You apparently relish the idea of kicking others while they are down, telling yourself you are doing *them* a favor by kicking them, to make yourself feel better about yourself. Did your mother beat you while you were little? Did your father molest you? You are certainly insensitive to the hurts, pains, and feelings of others and you seem to relish in the fact that you can hurt them even further, and absolutely gloat about it while you do it. I pray for your bitter soul!
No guilty conscience...no martyr syndrome, either.
Our experiences are obviously pretty different, and you think MTs are greedy and self-serving. Perhaps I was fortunate to know a completely different group of people.
I am not arguing my ethics in this, which are just fine, and I am not arguing that this profesion is about dealing with human beings. I am saying that poor quality cannot be laid sqaurely at the door of the MT.
Why do you not hold the MTSO responsible for firing these incompetent greedy MTs or the hospital for not having them removed from their account for having so many errors? Why aren't they expected in your mind to have as much at stake in patient care as an MT?
I truly believe your heart is in the right place. I believe it is inherent for everyone to do the best job possible. What I am saying is the players in this industry, all of whom should have patient care upmost in their minds, are trading quality for money. This is money that they take out of MTs pockets creating a situation that will ultimately further decrease the quality of patient documentation.
The good MTs like you, who obviously care, will leave the profession when YOU cannot make enough money. The MTs that are blowing through reports to make money will stay because THEY make good money. The MTSOs who are not firing these MTs because they are making money off of them will stay because they have a great profit margin. The hospitals will try to squeeze 1 more cpl out of everyone for the year-end bonus, and then more newbies will flood the market coming in without any mentoring or QA to submit a finished document directly to the medical record that the doctor signs without reviewing it because there is another emergency to be taken care of.
