In Reply to: With all the complaints sm - MT 30+years and running
I am at the opposite end of the MT career ladder. I am a newbie working her first job at home with IC status, and I have no complaints. I was just thrilled to get a job. Fortunately, my program gave me no delusions about what it is really like as an MT. Plus I didn't do an online program-I went to school the old fashioned way for over a year.
I don't care at this point in time how much I make (7 cpl) because this is a career choice and you have to start somewhere. It took hard work to get through school and months to get my first job, but I am happy. I love the medical field and doing interesting and challenging work. That is why I chose this profession. I'm sure there are others out there like me, they are just probably busy doing what they love to do.

Truthful Advice?
As some of you might see I have already posted this on the WAHM board, just thought I'd get it out there as much as I can, so....looks like you guys get it too. lol
I just recently got married and I am working in-house at our local hospital. I LOVE getting out of the house and going to work every day. I love what I do and want to stick with it. We will probably not be having children for at least a couple of years as my husband has a year left in college to get his business degree. I want to be able to stay home and raise my children, but I have seen what it has done to my mom. She sits at home all day in her PJs and type, type, types. I am just wonderng if any of you have any regrets about deciding to do transcription full time from home in order to be there for your children? This may sound a little selfish, but I don't want to have any regrets about my life and want to look at all options before I settle into a decision. I know I have some time to think about it, but it has been a topic that I have really been thinking about lately. What I would really like to do is stay at home with them until they are all in school and then try to get a job out of the house while they are at school. Have any of you made this transition? Any advice would be appreciated. I would just like a heads up before making any decisions. Thanks!![](http://forum.mtstars.com/misc/smileys/smirlove2.gif)
I don't think it matters. They're not always truthful.
I asked several questions that they answered in an unhonest way. For instance, I asked if they were flexible with the hours or rigid. They said flexible. Right from the start were threatening emails about WORKING YOUR SCHEDULED HOURS! I think you get much better information on these boards than you do from a recruiter.
What a fantastic, cogent, and TRUTHFUL post.....sm
We at home have been reduced, in most part, to a pair of hands who are there to pound out high-quality work at all times, put out high-volume work to bring in the $$$ for the company/corporation, and because we are employed at home in order to save physicians, hospitals, and other health care systems $$$, we are where the buck stops, and it is a small buck at that. We are all a separate entity, working remotely, and as such it is easier for many MTSOs to offer the slimmest package they possibly can, and squeeze the most out of the workers. When will companies realize that a happy worker who feels valued and cared about is a more productive, loyal, and healthier asset to the company. I have worked in hospitals with unions, and to be honest, we would still be making half of what we now make were it not for union negotiations standing up for us, the dues are small compared to the guaranteed packages, and guaranteed raises built in to the contract for the next five years, as inflation eats up our paychecks. MTs study hard, must be experts at anatomy, epidemiology, grammar, semantics, translations for ESLs, understand clinical procedures during difficult procedures, edit, trouble-shoot when there is a problem with a file, be tech-savvy....I truly think, after almost 20 years, that MT as a profession has consistently been undervalued and undermined by offshoring. Sorry to rant, but all of these problems have hurt and affected most MTs for many, many years, and their families. Thanks!
Oops! the are positive, not and positive.

Two comments....
First of all, everything you say may be true of the mother regarding her suspicion, but as I always try to do before I criticize and pass judgment on others, first try to mentally "walk a mile in her shoes." You might be thinking the same thing under similar circumstances.
Secondly, she signed a waiver for her daughter to go on that trip with full knowledge that these "adult children" were not going to be supervised by these chaperones in any fashion other than just being "available" if they needed them and to help out if anyone lose their passport or suitcase, stuff like that. The mother knew full well why she was letting her daughter got to Aruba... TO DRINK AND PARTY! If she didn't know that, then she's a dense as they come. I wouldn't give my daughter 2 cents towards a trip to Aruba at age 18. There's only one reason to go to an island like that, to drink. If the beach is what you want, we've been known to have a few beaches here in the USA, but they don't want that, they want to be free to party it up. So you can't blame the chaperones, at least not in my opinion.

Does nobody want to comment on how much they get paid?

Dee, if you do not have one already, try out an ergonomic split keyboard. Those are the best. I notice that for any reason if I have to use a plain keyboard that I start developing wrist pain.
OT Comments
You should keep a separate record of hours worked so that should you ever decide to file something with the Department of Labor that you worked OT hours that were not paid you have a record to submit. Other MTs have done that in the past and indeed been paid the back pay they were entitled to.
thanks for the comments!
I appreciate knowing this can be done...

Thank you for your posting; I find it very useful. However, I want to comment on the fact that, during training, I never heard of the BOS and received absolutely no feedback. So, to think that newly trained MTs are ahead of the others, is not necessarily correct.
As a matter of fact, the very first time that I ever heard of the AAMT Book of Style was upon receiving the graded and corrected FINAL EXAM for my course (Career Step) which made reference to my use of a dangerous abbreviation. I then inquired as to WHAT IS A DANGEROUS ABBREVIATION, at which time someone did RESEARCH and, after a few days of research, reported to me that she had to ask someone else and discovered that a dangerous abbreviation was defined by AAMT, as mentioned in the BOOK OF STYLE. I immediately purchased a copy of the book and studied it on my own.
I think that none of us fits into any one category. I hate it when I am stereotyped, especially with regards to what a potential employer may think I know or do not know, or may be capable of doing, as determined by the exact number of years that I have been working. There are plenty of exceptionally good companies out there who have totally rejected me due solely to the fact that I have less than the number of years of experience that they require, while my current employer constantly gives me the most difficult jobs because I am, in his mind, "one of the best." Of course, I can't wait until I have those required number of years of experience so that I can reject those very companies that rejected me back in the days when I only had 2 years of experience!!
thanks for the comments
I appreciate the replies to my inquiry. Everyone have a good day.
Any comments about...
Has anyone ever heard of TransRx?

I appreciate this thread. It has been very educational. BTW, not only can it be a difficult situation when you work for a "family" business with the wife being the office manager, but I have had negative experiences as a patient when the wife was the doctor's manager. It just doesn't work out.
While I agree that "other duties as assigned" can be interpreted in many ways, there must be a limit to this.
What I have learned from this thread.
1. If you have two professions such as Nurse AND MT, write a separate resume for each. Whether or not you reveal your transcription skills to an employer who is employing you as a nurse is your decision, but should not be required. 2. As an IC MT, write your own contract. Stipulate that your MT "business" includes certain duties only pertaining to medical transcription and performed at your location during the hours that you decide. 3. Stipulate that because MT is your private business entity, due to conflict of interest (or whatever terminology you decide), you do not conduct your private business functions during the same hours as the employee job unless you want to and it is clearly understood that there will be separate charges. 4. Once you have an established business and income for that business you may need some kind of business license or need to be registered. The laws vary determined by your state and/or city, county, etc. However, usually you do not need to register your business until it is actually making a profit. In the meantime, the existence of your business on paper would offer you some kind of protection against an employer who has employed you as a nurse and is attempting to take advantage of your transcription skills. 5. If an employer attempts to have you do transcription on the side, out comes the contract. 6. Do not offer discounts to anyone simply because they are a friend or employer. Treat them all the same, require them to pay extra for extra services. Spell it all out in the contract. In other words, protect yourself and set them up in the beginning so that they know they will not be able to take advantage of you.
Last I looked, the nurse practice ACT, at least for RNs, is rather specific and does not include such tasks as mopping floors or transcribing dictation. You sound like a very nice person who has attracted someone who seeks to take advantage of your kind nature. Don't let them do it.
how is this positive?
Is that if we're offered up sh@t, we're supposed to eat it, because it could be worse? Nice attitude.
well, I'm not positive but...sm
I don't think you can use any other Expander with DQS. An expander does what DQS does...when you type tp and DQS gives you the patient (if that's one you use)...I used Smart Type b4 (which is still my short cut for before!!) and LOVED it. It took me a long time to get production back up with DQS...but I was never as fast as you--2000 lines! wow
You positive that's what it was? sm
If you're sure it was a panic attack, then I wouldn't go to the doctor. But if not absolutely sure, it could be something serious.
Extra stressors? How old are you (if you don't mind my asking!). Typical age is 30s. Lots of info easily found online.
As others said, the bag works for hyperventilating. Re-breathe the air from the bag.
Hope you feel better. No insurance sucks. I'm right there with you.
It was positive! sm
Congratulations! You will be in my prayers!
Think positive (sm)
When you say about going to counseling and state "but I feel it is not going to help" is not starting off in a good direction. Go to counseling with an open heart. Tell youself that it WILL work. Tell yourself that the counselor is going to help both of you see new ways to handle life.
Not knowing your husband's mental health issue, it's hard to put a finger on that. I'm saying it sounds like he's depressed? If he's not working due to this mental health issue, that's probably a nice slap on the ego as well.
With regard to getting help, ask him to come help you do whatever. I used to do the same thing, do everything while DH sat on his behind. We went for counseling and I let it be known at that point that I wanted a partner, not another kid. I wanted a partner in all aspects of our marriage; 50/50 marital, 50/50 in parenting, 50/50 in house keeping. We then went from there and figured out how to help this out. I told the counselor I felt like I was expected to do everything. He was kind of surprised to hear me say that. After that, we all started doing our own laundry, even him!!! He does his own work clothes too.
I'm going to bet that if your husband can feel like he's contributing more, maybe he'll feel better and start taking better care of himself. I know back in the day when I was depressed and feeling the world upon my shoulders, looking nice was the last thing on my mind.
Something positive
Yesterday I went to my daughter's school to have lunch. This was the first time the school did this so it was very disorganized and the schedule was running an hour behind. There were all of these moms fretting because they had to get back to work, and some even had to leave before they were able to participate. Seeing this made me very happy to be an MT (IC) because I didn't have to worry about getting back to work right away and got to enjoy the time without the anxiety of what kind of trouble I would be in with the boss.
I know we all have complaints and things that are not fair in this profession, but that is one huge benefit that I am more than happy to take.
Try to be positive sm
You have a great educational background. I met people along the way who could not spell diarrhea correctly. You may be able to help a large dental facility such as Tufts-NE in Boston or a service a large facility contracts their work to. You could start slow, gain confidence. You will definitely not make money at first, but if you want to stay home with your child, think of the costs you will eliminate and the pleasure you will gain by just being home. Don't be discouraged. Where there is a will, there is a way. Perhaps someone will direct you to some SUM program tapes, etc. and you could slowly build up your word book dictionaries by buying used. I started out buying books from the Salvation Army as I live near a large prestigious university. People tried to discourage me as well, but I learned fast and furious as I had a good education and a good head on my shoulders. Don't give up! Good luck!
website comments
You should go take another look at ripoffreport.com. Read the rebuttals, there seems to be more of them than the actual complaints. Pretty much most of the complaints are people who signed up to sell and decided they didn't want to anymore. Definitely not a fault of AmeriPlan. And like most of the rebuttals say on there, get your facts straight before you post your allegations on the web. There is always going to be some people with every company who are not going to be satisfied and complain about it.
some various comments you all might relate too
When asked what I do for a living, I tell them, the response I get the most is this "oh, i've heard of that. Been wanting to get into it as a side job." Gee thanks.
Or "Did you have to go to school for that?" And actual disbelief when I tell them I did.
Or "Don't you get sick of not being around people?" Again...gee thanks. What am I a shut in? I still at least go out and check my mail a couple times a week!![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smirlove2.gif)
Or "Whats that" Blank look on face or extreme disinterest or disappointment. Gee, thanks again.
And here's the meanest one that I received from a guy I was dating for awhile "Are you just afraid of being successful?" Hmmm.....can I get a gee thanks?
Thank you for your comments, but I would not be posting
and asking for any more money if I had not checked into the situation thoroughly first. UPS even said that they hire extra drivers over the holidays that do not use UPS vehicles, so anything could have happened. I'm not pleased about this situation, but I am trying to at least provide a Christmas for the kids.

They deserve the comments

If you follow comments by a well known (sm)
senator, Pat Robertson, this is probably happening because you are all such evil people. If you would straighten your act up, quit taking vacations, work 24/7, quote the Bible all day long, and make sure you invest all your money in countries that promote torture (i.e., his diamond mine investments in Africa), then none of this would ever happen to any of you.
But if that is how I would have to live to avoid bad weather, I will take the bad weather any day.
Couple of comments
I have been dieting for three years....just trying to lose about 25 pounds. It's been hard. Now I have to tell you that I am just under 5'8" and now weigh 140 pounds. Sounds great doesn't it? Well, my significant other has never seen me naked in 8 years because I think I still look kind of gross. My point is, that while being fairly slim is, of course, a good thing, you may continue to have issues with your looks. I still focus in on all the places that I find unattractive or flabby. I don't think I would ever be happy with the way my body looks.
I think part of the problem is cultural, in that we are daily bombarded with women on TV, in magazines and in movies who are not representative of what women generally look like.
Yes, your weight right now is probably too high but perhaps you should set some realistic goals rather than trying to look like, well, you know, all those women I was talking about. I found that exercise combined with the dieting was the most beneficial. But you probably already know all this.
Looking for opinions/comments too.
Thanks for starting this post. I'm looking forward to reading some "real" comments as well. Hubby & I are also planning a cruise this yr, we've never been before.
Comments on Accutane?
My son's acne started when he is 12. He's 16-1/2 now and it's as bad or worse than ever. Started off trying various over the counter things; didn't work. Tried Proactive; didn't work. Went to a dermatologist who tried Retin A, antibiotic capules, antibiotic cream, steroid injections to inflamed zits, etc. Basically no change. We kept going back but it never got better and finally son refused to go again. The doctor had mentioned possibly using Accutane. The dermatologist said he had never seen so many blackheads on one person (said that in front of my son too, which I think was kind of poor judgment). But I was thinking my god - if he's the worst a DERMATOLOGIST has ever seen - geez!
Anyway, he has blackheads, whiteheads and bumps deep under the skin. The bumps you don't notice so much until he is in the light - sunlight or for instance the spotlight the dentist shines into your mouth - and then holy cow - they are everywhere, hundreds of them, each probably the size of a BB. The bumps are only on his face but he also has very bad blackheads, whiteheads and pimples on not only his face but his neck, shoulders, back and upper arms.
My son doesn't ever act like it bothers him at all but I'm sure it must bother him and I'm sure kids must say something about it. He seems to pretend they aren't there. My husband thinks he is just overwhelmed by the sheer number of them and the fact that nothing has worked so just ignores it.
I know Accutane can have very bad side effects but I'm wondering if in a case like his if we should try it anyway. I think I will make an appointment with another dermatologist although I KNOW it will be over my son's protest. He will try to refuse to go. He is the one who decided he wasn't going to the other dermatologist anymore. I think maybe I will try to find one that specializes in acne, if there is such a thing.
Has anyone here used Accutane or had a child who did?
snide comments
Keep your chin up and don't let that attitude get to you. Always do your best and it will show in your work.
I haven't ever had any sarcastic comments, but once a doc complained because the report type was incorrect on something I typed. Not bad for 7+ years working for the same place.
Many of the people I type for say something like, thanks for typing, at the end of a dictation. And I have to say I really appreciate that. Atta-boys in this business are pretty few and far between.
test comments
I would not let it go either. These are the same companies that will deduct for erros, or limit your work, but there are errors in their work? For the perfection they insist upon, they should be perfect in their correspondence. I have even had e-mails from companies that had spelling errors. I say be persistent and call them back IMOO
Insensitive comments
You are absolutely right!!!!No one should be treated in this manner, no matter what circumstances. I can only imagine the negative posts and whippings here are probably from one or many company officials that read this board. How f rude you are and to kick someone when they are down!!!! No one should put up with mistreatment, you don't have to, there are tons of MT jobs out there. I would give any other MT the same advice, give a company 2 weeks, if things don't click, tellem to shove it and move on....next.
MTs are really really treated horribly these days, and ya know what? Its not gonna change until we change. Now go ahead and give me some bad mouth all you creepy creatures out there.
FINAL QA COMMENTS
My main complaints with QA are when the individual QA's opinion regarding commas and such affect my QA scores, with the threat of deductions to pay, withholding of raises, benefits, etc. I did actually receive a payroll deduction once, but it was due to the QA's error. Thankfully, I discovered their error and was able to prove it. It was extremely inconvenient, however, because I received no advanced notice that my entire paycheck would be reduced by 15%, and I had to wait for the next paycheck to receive the correction. I also resigned that position based on the rude treatment I received from the payroll department and the subsequent hassles that I experienced while proving the QA's error.
Again, it seems that QA has very little to do with patient care or document accuracy. Recently, there was a big controversy with our QA regarding the proper way to indicate military time. QA had decided that a colon was required and deducted points because I did not use a colon for '1925 hours', while the BOS indicated that a colon was not required and the customer specs didn't specify anything about it.
I have some Stedman books, but it galls me when a company says that Stedmans is THE SOURCE. Most of the time, I have found answers on good Internet sources; accuracy is easily confirmed. My books are not easily searchable, and I have not invested in the electronic versions. Also, I have found discrepancies/inconsistencies between different Stedmans books. I just purchased my BOS Second Edition 3 years ago, along with the PDF searchable version. I'm not anxious to purchase the Third Edition so soon.
Again, I believe that all this stuff is more about control than about providing accurate reports for the benefit of the patients. IMHO, there is more than one accurate way to form a sentence, and this QA grading process is a bunch of unfair baloney. If the dictators were grading according to a similar QA process, it may seem more fair.
Maybe the persons who began the QA points/grading process were just bored and needed some drama. Or maybe the objective, again, was simply to devise a method/excuse to reduce MT pay and prevent payout of benefits?
Followup on comments
Hi, everyone.
I recently had an applicant inform me that my help-wanted ad was being badmouthed at this site, and I have since read elsewhere that I am apparently an overbearing/pushy, basically obnoxious person to work with (I have also posted responses at the other places I could find, in the hopes that the remarks do not keep potential applicants from applying). There is a reason my help-wanted ad is so detailed. One reason is to answer all possible questions that anyone interested in the position might have. Over the years, I have amended my ad due to circumstances that have come up with transcriptionists I have worked with. The information in the ad regarding "the work is to be typed until it is finished, not a set amount of lines per day," is because I had a Transcriptionist that thought she could type a very small amount whenever she felt like it, leaving the remainder to be typed by someone else later. As I am sure you know, many large MTSOs only require that so many lines per day be typed. In my situation, the transcriptionist essentially gets assigned doctors/clinics, so all of the work needs to be typed and returned the following day (the transcriptionists choose their workload when they are hired). At any rate, I am sure many people will find flaws with my help-wanted ad, but I did the best that I could to fully inform everyone what the job actually entails. BTW, as the ad states, the .07 cpl is only for one or two weeks, which covers my time for being on call to help out while the transcriptionist is getting comfortable with how the Macros function. In the beginning, the new transcriptionists only type a few small reports per day, so if you deduct 1¢ per line from the reports they have typed, I am getting paid very little.
jhwm, I would like to say "thank you" for the kind words. I have read a lot of really vicious things about myself and my company, none of which I feel is deserved. I understand that I might not have time to chat with everyone who applies, but I do not feel I have done anything to justify the horrible things that have been said about me. LOL--You're right, there is a lot of information coming at each new person in the beginning. I am not sure when you worked with me, but these days, I forewarn anyone new about the information coming their way and that they do not need to memorize it. Some of the information that has been compiled is on things that are not related to the job, such as how to do certain things in Word (basically everything I learned when first switching over from WP.1 to Word). The pictures of the animal's eye, lab forms, terminology list, medication list, etc. are supposed to be helpful so that the transcriptionist who is learning does not need to look all over the place whenever an answer is needed quickly. Sorry, I am in defensive mode and keep finding myself trying to explain everything! Again, thank you for saying something nice about me. I hope others see your post and realize I am not a total ogre! ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smile.gif)
In response to your comments...
You said ....
I am a slow typer, I am only paid 7 cpl, and have 20 different doctors on a daily basis. I am feeling like maybe I have wasted the last 10 years as an MT. I hear so many talk about their perfect accounts, making $100+ a day only working 8 hrs a day, and I the only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I am home for my kids when they get home from school. Where are those good accounts, good platforms, and good paying MT jobs that we experienced MTs deserve?
By NO MEANS do I have a perfect account!!!! I not only type more than 20 doctors a day, I usually have to do all those different doctors from about 10 different accounts! NO EASY WORK... mostly ESLs, poor sound, but hey, that is my job.
By the way, when I got out of school for transcription, I could barely type 40 words a minute and I was shocked when I got into the real world. Shocked even more 2 years later when I went home to work.
This is not about easy platforms, easy accounts, or easy money. This job has to be about a total love for the work you do. It cannot be about being home with your kids. You have to have an awesome memory, ability to use Expanders efficiently, and mostly it is either in you or not to be able to understand these ESLs.
I do wish you luck.
Sorry - just saw your comments today.
My boss is logging in to my computer this morning to redo something. She had to call Stedmans herself because there is something not compatible with the program and every one of us "new hires" are having the same problem.
Thanks for your help!
To reply on both your comments sm
I too have to use the antenna with it but according to the map, I'm well within the coverage area. I usually have 3 to 4 bars. I'm currently using Bayscribe with it too. In fact, the company I work for wanted me to work on Escription and said the wireless would be no problem. However, decided I didn't want to do VR.
The person I spoke with just didn't seem very knowledgable about it. The first time I spoke with her she told me the problem with it was going out in bad weather. Then today she thought I had a card.
Thanks for your comments. I'm just bummed. I can't get DSL or cable where I am and I thought this would open up more job opportunities for me.
You actually get POSITIVE feedback
nm
Positive things!
Okay, I'm with ya here. I really need to start focusing on the positives in my life instead of the negatives. This is a fantastic way for me to start.
Let's see now. I'm a recently divorced (YIPPEE - put that off for ten years!!) mother of 2. Although it can be isolating working at home sometimes, I wouldn't trade it for anything!! I make twice (sometimes three times) as much as I would per hour in a hospital. I don't have to pay for day care - EVER.
Oh, and since I make so much, I was able to keep the house (my ex couldn't ever afford it). I'm proud to say I have not had to borrow ONE PENNY from anyone through my divorce, I did it all on my own!
I can always be worse, I'm trying to be positive
You could be one of those in New Orleans, then would the pay cut mean anything to you? You would be happy to be alive. Why is it that only what affects us personally matters? This is what is wrong with society. My husband took a 25% pay cut a year ago, now the company he works for is bankrupt, slated to shut down in 9 days. He has worked there for 35 years. Be thankful you have a job, or get a new one.
A positive pause...please sm
Just wanted to share a link with anyone who could use a little positivity today...it's truly worth it ![](https://forum.mtstars.com/smileys/smile.gif)
http://www.greatday.com
Peace...out.
need positive thoughts
whether you have insurance or not, if you continue to experience chest pain, go to the nearest ER. I am a 42 year old who had to have a stent due to a 95% blockage. It is better to be alive than worried you will look silly.
Thank you for the positive thoughts.
I do have a little small something that might eventually need surgery, but it's not cancer. This doctor was very nice and didn't treat me like I was a hypochondriac.
I'm positive - maybe if I "google" it (sm)
Duh. I figured it out, it's positive. nm
The responses I get and usually positive.
The most common is, "Oh, I know someone who does that. She makes a lot of money!"
Positive experience here...
We filed Chapter 7 a couple of years ago (before new laws). Best thing that ever happened. Since then we have paid off our house, saved money and are driving older paid-for cars. We only pay cash. If we don't have enough, we save it. It actually turned into a blessing for us. I think credit is absolutely ruining so many people's lives. Better to do without for now and save! Then if you save, you can pay for emergencies. Good luck in whatever you decide!!
Thank you for the positive encouragement!
It is a very scary thing to do, but I am not going to quit...I need to continue on.
Think Positive....see message
Okay, so maybe you have slacked off a bit on your production in comparison to years past, no big deal. Maybe you just got comfortable with a flexible schedule and didn't make much time to work and perhaps you didn't need the money to begin with....We all make excuses! It is very easy to get sidetracked and do 'everything else' when you are at home trying to work. The great thing about this new situation for you is that it will be a FRESH Start! You can make more out of it if you start off by setting goals, meeting production, etc. Don't really need the extra money now, but want to have something to fall back on in case your situation changes? Well, then reward yourself for the extra hard work by treating yourself to "prizes"- go shopping, go to the spa, go out for ice cream, anything. Make yourself feel good about meeting your goals/production requirements. Yes, you CAN do it. You will be proud of yourself for doing it. And By the Way- Congratulations on your new Position! :)
Well, I am not positive, but the way I understood it--sm
was that the bill *strongly encouraged* physicians to upgrade and make paper medical records available on some type of electronic system so they could be accessed by computer. I do not necessarily believe that all doctors are going to be *forced* to use the EHR system for transcription...just so the records can be accessed on line by any physician anywhere. that is all. but that is just my understanding of it and again, I could be wrong. Sounds like she was just trying to scare you! She better be careful, maybe they will sign a bill allowing for robots to take over all nursing professions too. lol. j/k.
