I do not believe there are Americans who thought we got what we deserved in 9/11. I believe there are those who felt we should not have been as surprised at 9/11 as we were considering the feelings in the Arab world about us. It is no secret that they have wanted our presence out of their countries, Saudi in particular at one time. They hated our support for Israel and made no bones about it. So, I don't believe anyone thought we deserved 9/11, just that we should have seen it coming, or those we elect, hire, pay to do this for us should have seen it coming.

Yes, those we elect should have seen it coming. If you will go back over the Clinton years and look at the steady escalation in attacks on American interests with little or no response, I believe you will see that we should have known it was coming...and I believe you will see that Mr. Clinton should have accepted the offer of bin Laden from the Sudan, which they have finally admitted DID happen and now are trying to say he was not sure if it was legal. I do not understand how he would commit perjury, which as an officer of the court he obviously KNEW was a felony, and legality didn't bother him when saving his own neck, might not have worried so much about his political future and perhaps been able to save those 3000 people who perished on 9-11. I would be saying the same thing if all those things had occurred during a Republican presidency. It was a massive, massive failure, a failure we are still paying for today, and denying it does not fix it. And as it has been pointed out ad nauseam and supported by liberals in the press, they do not view terrorism as a high priority now, they would rather investigate George Bush. Something is very wrong, there, friend Lurker. VERY wrong.
no, it's not about Voice recognition, it's about
using medical computerized charts and "check boxes" if you will... cutting out the work of the MT by using generic charts and filling in information... at least where i come from
I am all for EMR, just not voice recognition -
EMR is just a way of keeping up with your records and not having all the paper at a bunch of different doctor's office.
Voice recognition on the other hand is what is killing our profession. Of course, the hospital I just left implemented voice recognition the week I left and the feedback from my ex-coworkers so far is that the Transcriptionist hate the system, the doctors hate the system, and they are already thinking about having to change it --- and they actually only bought the initial license for 10 of the 200 doctors to use the voice (and they put the good American doctors in that 10, of course).
I don't think that transcription will totally be replaced by computers in my lifetime at least, but I do think as technology advances, transcription will face even more changes.
We all have to keep in mind that typing these reports is based on an antiquated concept and that as the doctors are getting younger and younger, it means they have grown up using all this new technology that our older doctors did not have and are resistant to.
Like it or not, Obama or not, times are achangin'!
