In Reply to: Acute care is also known as the Big 4, which is - Misha
Is acute care the same as multi-specialty care?
I see some companies advertising for acute care and multi-specialty care MTs.

I like Misha
and welcome her contributions.
Maybe you need to slink back to the junior-high-school mean-girls clique where you belong, MadMT.
Vote for Misha!
 All you MT's that read this board and who are sick of Misha and her know it all comments....Please reply to this posting! Vote Misha off this website. So far 1 vote Misha!!!!!
I agree with Misha
You have some good qualifications under your belt, but you absolutely need to develop your ear before you work at home, unless you attend a good school first. Definitely try in-house to begin with to get your skills up and try to do some ESL docs because there are plenty of those if you work from home. Best of luck to you! 
Ditto what Misha said and more - see inside
I transcribed and did QA for more than 4 years before returning to just transcribing. I can tell you hands down that the best MTs were the ones that already had a very solid backround in English and a huge love of learning before they spent big money to attend a GOOD school. IMHO, MT is not easy to learn unless you put forth a lot of effort, and if you struggle with English then you may not learn as many medical concepts as you need to, which in turn will make you struggle on the job. I saw this time and time again as my company shuffled people in and out who could not cut it. I may also add that some of these people who did not make it were from the Big 3. It is not for everyone. I agree that the big money is not really there these days.
But don't send your resume. It has personal information on it. Right Misha?
LOL, gotcha!
