If it is drying up, then I am a fool for still sitting here working 12-16 hours days and still have accounts with an abundance of work, so I would have to go on the side of there is still pleny of work out there to be had!

Possibly if you only had the one account, you might consider having a couple...this allows for work more of the time. I have multiple accounts I work on every day, work harder where the most work is. A couple have daily lines to hit, other are just work and keep up on TAT, so rarely do I have a day where I cannot keep busy for 8+ hours. All of this but one account is clinic work, all in different states...so not even working in any one corner of the US, but across it.

Also, are you trying to stay local, as could not help you there as I have always avoided that one. Do not need to be running every day with gas prices. I want to sit and work, not play office games...one of the reasons I LEFT the offices, so I go nationally for small accounts and keep enough that I am busy each and every day even if one or two accounts would not load or be closed for any reason.

Is our profession drying up?

I'm an independent contractor and have just lost an orthopaedic clinic account to EMR. Also, I've been sending out hundreds of letters for new accounts, and I'm hearing nothing back!

Is our profession (clinic work) drying up? This is getting very scary!

Could someone either (1) comfort me with "it's not true" news and there's more than enough clinic work out there to go around, or if you find that it is, indeed, drying up, write back and tell me of your experience.

Thank you `` Nancy in Alpharetta, Georgia

it's very drying to the skin, and I can't imagine
making my puppy or dog uncomfortable with dry skin.

Just try it, wash your hair or body in DAWN soap and you will be itching like crazy. It dries your hair out horribly, leaving you with flyaway frizzy hair. But talk about itching, OUCH AND UNCOMFORTABLE.

Sorry, but that's just how I feel.
