I'm a former medical transcriptionist, too.,.18 years as an independent contractor. I quit when the speech-to-text software started becoming prevalent. I liked transcribing, but I didn't want to spend my time correcting other peoples' crap and hardly getting paid anything for the effort. I was close to retirement age anyway, and that made it financially easier.
Same here...38+ years; started on an IBM Selectric typewriter. I worked on production until India took over the profession. I'd love to be a fly on the wall to see how that's going. LOL! No matter; I am so GLAD to be out of the Medical field and free from that keyboard - probably why I don't post much on here; just read (and proof everybody else's errors)!
