Ugh

In Reply to: Docs and punctuation - Cali
I was fortunate enough to work an at-home salaried position for almost nine years in which I had the freedom to format and complete the reports as I felt was correct. I am a long-time veteran in MT and the medical field in general and have about 35 years of experience. The radiologists I worked with knew that I knew "my stuff" and they were grateful that I made them sound intelligent and better than they really were in terms of punctuation, grammar and composition. I was paid a very handsome salary, though I did work myself to the bone for that salary. I was making almost $72,000.00 per year when I left the position. I received a check on the 1st and 15th without fail and was an employee with all the perks that come with it. The economy and saturation in the imaging field in my area forced the closing of my employer's three imaging centers. Now, I'm working in an hourly at-home position and the pay is good, but it is driving me mad to have to type what the doctors say (right or wrong). They also have the freedom to change something when they electronically sign the reports and I have one particular doctor that changes verb tenses from the right tense that I corrected back to the wrong tense that he dictated. So, I completely understand your frustration. I hate having my initials at the bottom of a report that makes me look stupid!
