Hi, all. I didn't see a "meet and greet "section here so I hope I'm saying 'hi" in the right place. My name is Tammy. I have 3 pugs (hence the name "Pugmom".

I've been doing MT off and on since 1988, mixed with medical billing. I work at home for an online company and enjoy being home. I hope to meet some fellow MTs here (have been doing MT for over 8 years - acute care, doctor's office and used to do op reports but am so rusty on them), give and receive some word help too.

I live in Ohio.

That's about it.

Have a great day!

Welcome, Tammy--always nice to have new people to hang out with!

Hi right back at ya

Howdy!

My name is Tarah and wanted some advice on the MT field. Are online course just as good as attending school? Do most employers require certification or a degree? etc.... I thought being as experienced as you are, your advice may be helpful. Thanks!

Hi Tammy!

I can't say I have 3 pugs but I do have 2 daughters and 1 Cocker Spaniel, so it's like I have 3 kids.

I've been in transcription since 1990, most of that time from home. I used to work for a big hospital, until I relocated, big mistake but at least in this field, I'm still working from home. I tried to the 9 to 5 thing out of the house and hated it. I'm not sure I will ever fit that mold. The rat race was too much.

Anyway, nice to meet you.

Pamela
