A renegade medical transcriptionist rants about the inherent crappy nature of his former job. He used to have no choice, so he held on to that job because there weren't many other jobs available to him at that time. He used to be a victim of global exploitation occasionally masquerading as outsourcing.

Unfamiliar with these?

The doctor said, "... would cast doubt ..."
The editor typed, "... without a doubt ..."
Notice the opposing connotations.

The doctor said, "... up and about ..."
The editor said, "... up and bout ..."
Was the editor thinking of a boxing match?

The doctor said, "... and her face gets beet red ..."
The editor typed, "... and her face gets to be red ..."
Oh, you mean her face has a choice?

Obviously, these editors are not well read.
