Medical Scribe Toxicity

I have been working as an ED scribe for 6 months now; it's AWFUL. For 15 an hour, we are expected to kiss the docs/midlevels butts, and pretty much document every single thing the physical does for a patient in regards to exams, calls, medications, and so on; for 15 an hour! It gets very stressful at times since its a ED. I am scheduled to work on Christmas Eve and new years eve for no extra holiday pay! We work the weirdest hours like working till midnight one night then in the morning of the same day! We even have what's called a “On Call” scribe? Hm, we are expected to travel to hospitals up to an hour away! But hey, it's a privilege to have this job no?
