Don't tempt me. I have the book this is apparently a parody of, and even a
couple of things in that are a little too liberal for me. This one sounds
funny, but someone just gave me a box of old books, and I have sworn off
buying books until I read them, or at least the ones that interest me, and
there are several. Buying books is one of my vices, and library is too far
away, especially with gas prices!

Thank you everyone for responding. The women is upset at me now because I
guess I made her look bad. But, honestly, I cannot stand people who think
anyone can do this job and it is easy. I know for a fact this woman could
not type one day for the interventional radiology or operative notes I
type. It's scary to think that she has just typed what she hears. There
could have been some horrible errors made. Hopefully, someone was editing
her reports. Again, thanks so much.

Hi everyone,
I am in the midst of an argument with someone who thinks they know all
there is to know about transcription. I was helping someone else out on
another group about training for a transcriptionist and this other woman
pipes in. I am copying what she had to say in two posts about it. I am
going to get back to her about this, but I was wondering if I could
collect your infinite wisdom on things to set her straight. By the way,
just in case no one remembers me, I mostly lurk on this group and have
been a transcriptionist for 17 years.
Have you tried to listen to a tape and type it on your own?
I did medical transcription for a few years and I never took any
courses for it. I still do transcription of my own tapes for my
articles that I write. If you know how to type and have a medical
dictionary and a dictaphone, it shouldn't be a problem. All you do is
put the tape in the dictaphone, push the pedals, type what you hear
and use a dictionary for questionable words. I never had a problem
when doing this and I worked for both doctors and employment
agencies.
I worked as a medical transcriptionist for five years with no training
(3 years for a group of doctors and two years for two employment
agencies, doing transcription for at least 20 different medical
groups/hospitals). And then I did it at home for a while. My BIL now
owns his own medical transcription business. He never had any
training.
Anyone who has intelligence, knows how to type, has a basic knowledge
of medical termininology, owns a medical dictionary and can use a tape
recorder can teach medical transcription to themselves like I did and
like my BIL did.
Thanks so much.
