Im Hanging, and am I hanging!
Subject: Im Hanging, and am I hanging!
I have been doing some of this work for the past 3 months but I guess not enough to have learnt enough. I was working for another MT and she was proofing but now its a 1:1 for the doc and I am battling! This doctor has 1-2 words per report that just absolutely floor me. I think pulmonology is a very big field with lots to learn and I am still in the learning curve. Now my wrists are giving me problems as the workload is big with the amount of extra work I have taken on. Lets hope there is a light at the end of the tunnel and its not a train! I will hang in for another week or two and hope it will get better!
