Fair compensation would be a "high amount of money" IMO. [2007-07-23]

Fair compensation [2007-07-06]
Any good personal injury lawyer knows better than anyone what fair compensation for you loss would be. The figure will be based on the awards granted in similar malpractice cases in your area. It varies from state to state, sometimes even county to county. Do not second-guess your attorney. Let him or her decide what the case is worth.
The MTs initials . . . [2008-09-01]
You're ok. The MT's initials don't have to be there.
The MT is not legally responsible for the content of the document-the physician is. Once he signs it, he's responsible.
Mind you, I'm not a lawyer, but you can see from the BOS that the initials aren't required. If there was a legal requirement, you would have heard lots about it before now. There would be a whole chunk of the law section of HIM texts devoted to it--and there isn't. If you WERE responsible, you would have to sign the report in ink (or electronically), and you don't see MTs doing that.
Your initials can be removed. If you provide the electronic file for him to print, he can change anything he wants. You can't be held responsible for what ends up in the record if what ends up there can be changed.
I wonder if he thinks that he'll save money by not having to pay for the extra characters?
Another possibility is that he doesn't want anyone to know you did his transcription. He might feel he needs to keep his options open in terms of fiddling with reports later, perhaps when he's trying to bill a higher level of service, get a denied claim paid, or if he needs to cover up a bad outcome. If your initials are all over his records, an investigator might know right where to go for copies of originals and testimony as to what you transcribed. :)

Legal question...sm [2007-06-01]
A friend of mine had a DC after suffering a miscarriage because she had an incomplete miscarriage at 10 weeks. After she did not get her period back with a couple of months she underwent testing by another doctorand ended up finding out that part of her uterus was removed. She talked to a couple of attorneys who only seem to want to try to get a high amount of money out of the doctor and hospital but my friend isn She and her husband are also upset that they were not told at the time of surgery or afterwards that there was a problem encountered.
Do you know of a resource to find out what a fair compensation would be for this mistake and the fact that the surgeon and hospital didn I have no idea where to point her to go. Thank you.
Just a thought.... [2007-06-01]
Thiscertainly isa tragedy. The miscarriage alone is enough of a heartbreak, butwhat happened to your friendon top of that is just horrible. I can but if your friend isn A fair settlement might be the financialcost of going through this process.Just a thought....hope this helps some.
Legal Transcription [2007-01-19]
Yeah, that would be great. But I think it's pretty difficult to find legal work from home unless it's contract work only. If you don't need benefits and can exist on contract work only legal is great to do from home. If you don't need to work from home you can make great money working as a law office word processing operator. I'm training for MT just because I want to work from home and have some benefits.
