AMEN, but [2008-10-27]
Wow, you sound just like me. That is the same refrain.... been using it for years.
For some bizarre reason, the vast majority of MTs that I know are the wimpiest, most spineless, sniveling, self-effacing, subservient, groveling people on the planet. They will take all kinds of abuse -- verbal, psychological, financial -- from an employer, complain to each other yet kiss the employer's feet: Thank you, thank you, thank you oh great one for being so kind as to give me a job; I don't deserve it, I am not worthy!
Of course the above was exaggerated for effect. But you get the picture.....
For years I have tried to get the complaining MTs together to walk down to HR en masse. NOPE! One by one they dried up: I need this job! As if they would be fired, even though common sense tells you that no way will they fire an entire group at once.
Your/our suggestion is a good one; unfortunately I think it is too late. Our profession is doing the death rattle and has been for a while now.
AAMT could have launched a public education campaign aimed at the end-user/consumer -- THE PATIENTS -- but of course they failed. They were too busy taking money from large MT services and bamboozling the rank-and-file MTs -- taking our $130 per year while educating us. They sold us out.
If the emphasis had remained on quality, this would not be happening. The sad truth is that nobody cares about patient care. Not docs -- nobody.

AMEN but where did you hear of this study?? Sometimes these are just rumors and everyone gets a jazzed up. I get a minimum of three phone calls a day on my business phone from either India or philippines. Maybe there are just too many companies there doing this work, or they are losing the work? I don't kn ow, but the guy from India is always called Joseph. Even in some of the emails.
I agree with your comments about the work.

AMEN! We hit the keys. We already do enough for free and are severely underpaid. Add to that all of the equipment, reference material, training, etc. Just another way of cutting our already low pay. I would never accept an account such as this. What else are they going to not pay for?
