The medicals bad news is the US national debt would now be at a stout $17.3 trillion. The senate vote was 50-49 in favor of the increased debt ceiling. That means about half of our elected officials in Washington, D.C. actually don't know how many zero's are in a trillion. And there are 17.3 to account for. A government default has been avoided....for now. For years our elected politicians have proved they have no idea how to balance a budget. Of course if you have someone's else's money to budget with, it really doesn't matter if it balances or not. What is going to change moving forward in the hearts, minds, and souls of our government officials that will allow the start of debt reduction?

At least while you're engaged in treatment you're doing something active, fighting the diagnosis in a concrete way. Many people become inconsolably anxious once their treatment stops because at that point all they have left to do is wait for a relapse.

At the last the poor smoker simply smothers. Horrible! This is so bad for the smoker but considering that others that live with the smoker must contend with second hand smoke. It is reported to be even more dangerous than actually smoking. The child or spouse that you love with all your heart and soul is being killed by your smoking habit. How is that for motivation?

Use an abbreviation expander. I don't know too many MTs these days who don't use one of these, but there are still a few. Using an abbreviation expander will help increase your productivity, sometimes 20-30%. Be sure you get familiar with whichever program you are using and make it work for you!

The above list of reasons is by no means exhaustive. There plenty of other solid reasons why you should consider getting a medical assistant certification.
