Re: I can now add TV star to my resume

a dime in the pot and said:

"If this is so important - and I believe wholeheartedly it is - why
hasn't AAMT made this a point from the beginning? I know doctors didn't
just start making errors in dictation in the computer age of
transcription."

Good question. Maybe part of it has to do with the fact that MTs as a
whole have historically not been very aggressive when it comes to
standing up for ourselves and the importance of what we do. Hopefully
that's changing now. But it's going to take more than just AAMT
putting out a position paper. Until MTs en masse draw a line in the
sand, things are not going to change on a large scale.

Well, we're going to have to agree to disagree on just what
constitutes the "importance of what we do." I don't feel it's
necessary for me to take on the liability of sharing responsibility
for the accuracy of the medical record in order for me to prove my
importance.
