Now, no more odors from the mushroom house, please.

  This doc stutters, stammers, doesn't know how to use the reverse key to make corrections and ...corrects over himself all the time so I have no idea what he REALLY means...

Talks through his nose, buries the words up somewhere in his left sinus I think, drops off the ends of words, I think he EATS that last parts of words so they never get said....

and now tonight he will just say terms like ...Temperature 98.5....then a pause...then Temperature 98.6....then he says I'm sorry....then he just starts in talking about the spine.

It's like standard phrases are just falling out of his mouth as he sits there and he's not even knowing he's saying them and they have no connection to what he's doing. 

HE'S DRIVING ME NUTS.....ER than I am. 

in my mind.  Maybe after I've been out of the loop for a few more years, I might start to forget what it was like.  But I highly doubt it, because all I have to do is go to any store, hospital, bank, restaurant, heck even a traffic light and just watch...watch the angry, impatient, "me me me me me me" people out there.

Working at home...I kinda feel like I'm my own boss.  Sure there are e-mails and TAT issues, but I actually have control over most of that stuff.  I get out of my job what I put into it.  Yeah, some days are harder than others, but that's just life.

Fresh in my mind are the 8+ hour days of standing on my feet ALL DAY LONG at a register on Mother's Day in a sweltering hot greenhouse putting foil and bows on potted plants, or answering phones at an answering service that were so busy that at the end of 4 hours my voice would be hoarse, or being unable to pee because there was a line of ornery patient's waiting with scowls on their face because THEY needed their outpatient tests booked RIGHT NOW because THEY were on their lunch break and their time is money!  (and then when you finally do get the chance to pee, some nasty-a$$ crotch-cricket-ridden patient decided to leave a floater or pee on the seat!)  And all of this was at least 10 years ago now and still painfully vivid. 

So yeah, go ahead and work in the real trenches and then make a fair comparison of working at home versus working somewhere else.  Whackin' on keys and having to repeatedly playback some ESL now and again ain't nuthin' compared to putting up with a bunch of crap that you can only imagine if you haven't experienced it first hand.

experience you have no clue.  You don't know about various platforms, equipment needed, insurance, taxes, contracts, not to mention your transcription skills are limited and you have no QA skills.  

Unfortunately there are many like you who seemed to have not investigated this business and how hard it is to get a job before taking classes and then end up in the same position as you, graduating and no chances of a job. 

I appreciate your experience and insight!  I agree about clinic work being boring; so is radiology.  And VR/speech rec has really taken over radiology and clinic, the same for EMR.  I know it's going to be a huge challenge for a few months, but I'm up for the challenge!  Plus I've done interventional radiology-type transcription (minimally invasive procedures) with really tough dictators, so I have a bit of a heads up. 

Thanks again!  I'd like to update you in my transition late this summer.

on her own and definitely cannot expect to earn $50k! 

EMR is coming whether you like it not and whether your doctors are older or not.  Eventually the older doctors will retire and the new generation coming out of medical school are products of this technological age.  There is no stopping it.
