You are right, Jenn. Most doctors do not want VR, they don't want to take the time to train on VR, and they don't want to have to correct their reports. They value a human MT.
It's the almighty dollar that has the last word. It's expensive to implement, but cheaper in the long run to use VR rather than human MTs. Administration is not concerned with the quality, only the expense. If it looks good on paper, it's a deal. VR is bundled with PACS in radiology settings - and all radiology facilities will eventually be using PACS as x-ray film has become obsolete. A digitized radiology dept. does not have to worry about huge files to store, processing equipment, darkrooms and developing chemicals/waste.
Teleradiology is here and medical facilities must keep up with the technology to provide their services. Rad MT positions will be hard to come by as facilities make the switch to digitized systems. For rad MTs, it isn't looking good down the road.

Almighty doctor
Actually...more likely the almighty insurance companies or to take it even further, our almighty govt. is to blame.
MTSO's in order to compete with offshore and with doctors cutting back and insurance companies cutting back, have had to lower what they charge doctors (or lose business to offshore), therefore they have to pay MTs less. It's a vicious cycle. It's happening in the tech industry, as well.
If we don't like it, we should think about how we VOTE, because that's the only power we have left at this point.
The almighty numbers
I totally agree with Patti. Who the heck do they think they are (AHDI)to change everything they feel like on a whim. It's all about the money for them and we all know that.

You dare question the judgment of the almighty RN! How dare you!
Don't you know that RN's know everything and are the beginning and end all of all that's holy in the medical kingdom!?
But seriously, you have my sympathy, girl. Hang in there.
