TWO "LIVE" PRESENTATIONS ONLY: May 22 and 23. thereafter, available
for private download and viewing from OC-AAMT archives.


How does the OC-AAMT feel about the January Plexus article? I read it and
was terribly disgusted and while, not meaning to beat a dead horse, I
thought it would be nice since you popped in here to get your take on it.
I've copied a few quotes and my comments below (my comments were posted on
the old AAMT forum and surprisingly, that was not copied over to the new
forum). I was a bit disturbed by other items in the article but since my
question is about the OC-AAMT, I only copied the relevant quotes.



Quote from January 2006 Plexus article written by Cathy Baughman, one of
the 2006 BOD for the AAMT: :
"?.working from a home office. While that is not a bad goal, I will argue
that working from home has contributed to the complacency that I see in our
ranks today. We've all seen the ads for at-home MTs portray an
unprofessional image (not from the quote - all mine - you bet we have,
right on the AAMT site if I remember correctly???)?..I am concerned that we
are not taken seriously in the medical community??..MTs have secluded
themselves in their home offices and seem perfectly content to do all their
networking with a computer and a screen?.

More of the quote:
"?It seems the only way to communicate is online and in the chat rooms
where negativity breeds quite easily."
