Re: need to rant about letter of medical necessity

[Guest guest]

Carol:

I've been doing medical transcription for eleven years now and often

when people need specific letters from the doctor, to help speed up the

process, they write their own letters, the doctor reads it, makes some

changes and then hands it to me to type, where I change it again to make

it grammatically correct and oh so pretty for the person for whom it is

intended. I'm not a fan of it, but it does help out the docs who are

tremendously busy with patients, paperwork and managed care plans. Give

it a shot.
