and what you are not understanding, it depends on the platform. Dragon Naturally Speaking, our version, is unmanageable for the most part. But Dictaphone, a million dollar company, is going to make sure they stay in business. The only way they stay in business if is doctors continue to dictate. The only way doctors continue to dictate is if it gets cheaper. The only way it gets cheaper is to pay MT's for editing instead of transcribing...need I say more, friends?

agree. Much quicker for me to research the internet than take the time..
to stock a library of books that takes me more time to look through than finding some very dependable websites and bookmarking them in your favorites. I certainly don't miss the days when when you had to constantly update your medical library before the internet age. All new MTs should be very grateful for the wonderful resources available on the internet, as they save a lot of research time.
