Name of Class: MTs and Me: How and Why I Came to Recognize the Importance of MTs in My Practice. 

Course Description: Mr. Fisher is a gentleman who loves his work. He works 50 to 70 hours a week caring for and empathizing with his patients. When asked how he has the energy to work long hours, he replies, "I receive energy from my patients." He sees his practice as enabling him to further his humanity by bringing his life to his work.

Mr. Fisher views the transcriptionist as the provider of the record that will be passed on so that patients will receive professional help. He understands the crucial link transcriptionists represent in continuity of patient care. He views the medical transcriptionists he works with as invaluable assets in his life, and in his patient care. He appreciates the transcriptionist's contribution to the historic link of record both for himself and for those who read after him.

Mr. Fisher presented for the Louisiana Association for Medical Transcription (LAMT) in 2004 in Baton Rouge, where he held his audience spellbound and set a positive tone for the entire day. LAMT wishes to recommend Mr. Fisher highly. This is one presentation not to miss.

Rescheduling of Continuing Education program
To everyone in "Bang for the Buck" class, I am rescheduling Lea Sims.  She notified Tina that she is unable to get online due to weather problems.  She feels she might not be ready by Monday, and Tuesday is "iffy." 

 

With Emily out there, she might knock out our Texans and Louisiana participants if Lea would get back for this weekend, as scheduled; however, I will try to reschedule Lea in ASAP for this same class.  It may be August

Because you are reading way too much into it. What the doctor said was maybe just maybe insensitive. Not your problem. When you dictate your reports, be mindful of what we go through transcribing them...I yell at all my personal doctors to learn how to dictate...I figure I'm in paybacks cause we dictated reports on the police dept and I rattled through them like there was no tomorrow. I feel so bad for the people that had to transcribe them now that I know what it feels like to try and decipher the garbage...As my boss says garbage in garbage out...Just type it...
