Question sm

I've been an MT/ME for over 20 years.  I finally decided to get my own accounts but got discouraged after hearing about people losing accounts to EMR and also after listening to my husband who said I should do something else because it doesn't make sense to start a this type of business when I will eventually lose accounts to EMR.

Do you think there is enough work and do you feel that you will eventually lose your accounts to EMR?

Thanks!
