I hear everything you're saying!

I just picked up a big account last week.  They like my work so well they told their neighboring physicians, who now want to use my service as well.   Unfortunately, I will not be able to take them on because I'll need subcontractors as it will be too much work for me, and I REFUSE to go through all the daily drama involved. 

Like you said, it's ALWAYS something with them - some excuse - sloppy work - Internet down - regardless of what you pay, and in the past I have paid ten cents/gross line, and I still can't get a decent job done.

Also, what I've found quite often, too, is that some of them know the medical terminology great, but they don't have clue one how to put together a gramatically correct sentence.  I'm also talking the basics of simple punctuation here! 

I actually end up losing money when I take on subcontractors because the majority of my time is spent on the phone with them or answering questions to their stupid E-mails.  It's just totally amazing.

And they wonder why a lot of work is being offshored.  If I were a doctor and got sloppy work back, why would I want to pay a U.S. MT 14 cents a line for sloppy work when I could get sloppy work back guaranteed from the Indians for 7 to 11 cents a line?

I don't mean to sound harsh, but these are the cold, hard facts!

Hey Barb:

I was looking through some of these boards and came across something you applied for in Raleigh in September.  I worked with you all those years ago and would like to catch up. Write me.
