I really don't know what to do. A couple months ago I wrote that I lost an account to EMR, asked for prayers that some work would come in. I forget how long after that I received an email that someone had some extra work for me. I declined because at that time my work had picked up and I had more than I could handle. Now I'm back in the same boat. No jobs coming in for days (maybe 1 or 2 here and there). I've seen my pay check drop in half within just a year and now it seems to be getting worse and I've got bills coming due.
I'm the only income my family has. I have no family I can turn to for help. I fear if something doesn't pick up soon we will lose everything. I have 16 years experience in this field. I've done every specialty except pathology, worked in clinics and in hospitalis. I've worked the early shift, late shift. I've worked holidays so people with young children could enjoy the days off and I've worked 7 days in a row for weeks at times. Before becoming an MT I worked as an administrative assistant for many years supporting high level executives. I went to college and became an MT because at that time it was a great field to get into, now I find myself struggling to get some jobs in at my company I've been with for so long and I don't know what I'm going to do. If anyone out there would keep me in their prayers I will be so thankful.
