involves more than just "typing." In fact, medical transcription requires approximately 90% research. Had you adequately researched "CMT" you would have realized exactly what it was and what was involved in it. Unfortunately, it's a lesson learned. The tip-off to a new employer was - new MT graduate toting a CMT credential. Why would you pay for a "credential" if you weren't entirely 100% sure what the credential meant, it's function/usefullness, etc.? This is all part of being an MT

I can't help, but I can sympathize.
Mine did it too several months ago. I blamed it on the cat stepping on something on the keyboard. It lasted a week or so, then one day I turned it on and it was back to normal. Go figure. Good luck.
I have to sympathize
with BOTH of you. It is hard when you are the only one cleaning/taking care of the household (been there, done that). My hubby helps out way more now than in the early years of our marriage. In fact, he takes on more of the chores these days than I do, which I need more now since it can be very difficult to make a living in this business.
I too, though, cannot think straight when I start getting very hungry. It is hard to even come up with what to eat. It goes on too long and it is impossible. Granted, he should not let it go on that long, but sometimes the one-thing-after-the-other takes hold and before you know it, there you are -- in an impossible situation.

MTing is a tough job, especially at home, and even harder with depression. Concentration is one of the key ingredients to making line count and if you don't have the concentration, you can't get the work done. I don't take depression meds, but my husband does and when he took them, it took about 3 weeks for them to kick in. They helped his concentration immensely. I think more support from your husband is order in this situation. Yelling at you and cussing at you is not going to help the situation. In my books, maybe he SHOULD get a job where he makes more money so you won't have so much pressure to achieve that line count. Your office manager probably feels like you need people around you to help you stay focused and maybe you perform better in the company of others. No, MTing at home is not for everybody but that in no way means you are a failure. If you work better in the office setting, go back. If your OM didn't think you were working out in the job, period, she would have let you go. Sounds like she is there to help you. And give those meds time to work. It does take awhile. Sit your husband down and ask him to be a little more understanding of the situation. He's only making it worse. Not only do you feel like a failure in your job, you probably feel like a failure in your home life as well. Not a good combination with someone with depression. I am sure others on this board can also give some good advice. Hang in there.
I sympathize with you, but from their
point of view they probably are looking at the premise that you were out of "acute care" for 8 years and with all the changes that have taken place within that length of time you would not be "up to speed." Keep looking, I am sure you will find something out there.

I sympathize with your disgust..
all the time, but I will not let ANYONE tell me I am just a typist. I may not be a doctor(wouldn't want to be one anyway LOL)but I take pride in my work no matter what, 'cause at the end of the day, I'm the one who can look in the mirror and not cringe at the person looking back at me. I don't screw over my fellow MTs by cherrypicking and I don't short-change patients 'cause I'm angry with the stupid dictator or stupid employer. Yes, I get very angry at how we are treated and compensated but I still feel the bottom line is I need to do the best I can at least for now. Try to keep your chin up; remember all is flux and temporary....just a little Zen philosophy that helps me survive.
I sympathize. I'm pretty much in
the same boat. I worked for this co. for almost 4 yrs as IC, holidays and weekends as well as nights when there was no work during the day. I supposed they were either sending it out or overhiring at times. At any rate, I inquired why there was no work one day after one week of almost no work and the OM informs me they lost the contract and it would end in about four more days and she was going to tell me so I could look for something else. Heartless indeed!
I truly sympathize Hayseed, however, fortunately
none of my accounts contain an ESL physician. You work 3rd shift, don't you? If ever you need to vent at 3:00, let me know; I'd be glad to lend an ear.
