I remember the days of IBM Selectrics and you had to look up all words in a medical dictionary and actually WORK, (not look at another MTs transcription notes before you), or rely on spellcheck or the Web to fudge by. Yes, I am that old and have been doing it that long...I respect the older MTs I used to work with who worked on those typewriters also. I learned my work ethic from them.
