I retired from reporting in 2020.  I worked for 37 years in Chicago, predominantly taking medical malpractice work.  I still maintain my licenses in Illinois, Tennessee, and am a full member of NCRA.  My colleagues would not let me retire and insisted, strong-armed, threatened, and bribed me to proofread and scope for them.  I now spend a lot of my time RealTeaming. I have worked a lot with the federal officials on their trials. I do prefer working with one other scopist or alone depending on the experience of the reporter.  I choose not to work with three scopists or more.
