I have been a Professional Medical Transcriptionist for over 40 years. I work in an office which happens to be in my home. Personally I have a problem taking someone seriously or reading articles looking at someone's rear in shorts. At a time when we as transcriptionists are trying to be recognized as professionals and paid as such, I find your references insulting.

To Renee: I have to tell you I really like that video idea! I can truly envision that whole scenario just as you described it! I'm lovin' it! My only hope is that the noisy waves wouldn't come in just when that foreign-speaking doctor was up next with his little whispering voice! It's true that some of the dictation is routine, but boy when you get that one with that never-before-heard organism, or some fancy disease, you perk up and realize you've just met that day's challenge! You smile and remember....ah yes, this is why I like this job. The challenge, that unusual phrase that beckons you to "just try and find me". Oh, I will. I'll find you. I haven't been transcribing for 30 years for nothing!! :)
