Word Count: 1205 Long-time Medical Transcriptionists Tell All
If you are evaluating medical transcription training options in order to
start a career as a medical transcriptionist, you very well could benefit from
hearing how my wife and I launched our business years ago. We struggled through
some tough times together, and we are happy to share what we learned here with
you. Hopefully you will be able to benefit from this information and not repeat
the mistakes we made. I can say from personal experience that being able to work
from home as a medical transcriptionist is one of the most liberating
opportunities that you will find - anywhere.
Medical Transcription has become very personal to me. To help you understand,
let me tell you a bit about my history with the industry. My spouse actually
went through medical transcription training years ago by tutoring on the job
with her mother, who was a long time medical transcriptionist and who owned a
medical transcription company. Back then, there really weren't many other
options to receive Medical Transcription Training. You could say that she went
through the school of hard knocks. Actually, you could say we both did. It was a
difficult and stressful time. And since medical transcriptionists are typically
paid on production, it was a very lean time for us financially. Her line counts
were extremely low during the first 6 or 8 months of apprenticeship... and so
were her paychecks.
Over time, however, she improved her production and eventually I felt emboldened
by her progress to the point that I went out and started selling our own
accounts. I approached clinics, hospitals, physician offices -- pretty much
anyone who would listen to my pitch and I would sell them on the idea of using
our Medical Transcription services. We teamed up with my wife's parents and
began to expand our presence in the marketplace. It was slow going at first, but
eventually we built our little Medical Transcription company up to a level where
we had dozens of medical transcriptionists working for us. It was an extremely
exciting time!
This new career allowed my wife to work at home as a medical transcriptionist
and be there for our young children. We were all happier with the flexibility
that her Medical Transcription Training afforded us. I think our kids were the
happiest of all. And the pay just kept getting better and better. For one thing
her typing speed increased dramatically over time -- which meant more money in
her pocket. More importantly, though, she got to the point where she didn' t
have to stop and look up difficult medical terms so often. She actually got to
where she had transcribed enough medical reports that she could generally
anticipate what the doctor was going to say next. I was totally impressed as I
watched her work! And I became even more impressed when I asked her to let me
have a try at the keyboard. I put on the headset and pushed the play button on
the footpedal all excited to type my first report... Guess what? If you are

the footpedal all excited to type my first report... Guess what? She went
upstairs for a snack and came back down to find me curled up on the floor in the
fetal position out of sheer frustration. I could no more transcribe an operative
report than I could fly to the moon! Her school of hard knocks medical
transcription Training had definitely paid off -- in spades!
As technology advances came into the picture she was able to create macros on
her computer that automatically inserted whole strings of common technical words
and phrases with one or two keystrokes. You cannot believe the difference this
made in her productivity. It was amazing! As her productivity went up, so did
our income! We could finally do some of the things we had been putting off for
so long for lack of money. Life was good!
