Serving Over 20,000 US Medical Transcriptionists

Honestly, I think if I had to do it over again, I would have been more politically active and more of an advocate for medical transcription, which I realize now was more important. I believe if we had a true visionary, had strong, ethical leadership, this industry may not have fallen victim to the male-oriented, chavinistic, corporate greed and politics that sadly has become so prevalent. I have learned that advocating for a profession you love, has to be an integral part of everyone's job in today's trend for globalization. Hindsight tells me protection of the American worker should have been addressed in our industry, but never was. Even so, many of us, like lemurs, were involved in AAMT, and followed their guidelines, not knowing they would not stand up for the American worker. Now, it's too late. BUT, had it been so, I would have loved to stay in medical transcription. Because of what has impacted our industry, and the decline of the American wage in transcription, I have decided to go to school, get far away from the medical field.

This isn't advice. Hindsight is 20/20. She probably knows she shouldn't have

But she did and now she's stuck.  The 2nd company is behaving unprofessionally and they should pay her for her time.
