subject: Medical Transcription At Home Will Help You Earn A Good Living [print this page] Two months ago I lost my husband to cancerTwo months ago I lost my husband to cancer. While hospitalized, he suffered several seizures after being given medication previously noted to cause him an adverse reaction. Even though I have written many such stories during my career as a news writer, the consequences of medical mistakes became painfully real. I know firsthand, now, how critical it is to have fast, accurate medical transcriptions so healthcare workers can get it right. After nine months at my husbands side, I saw how much time it takes doctors to decipher their notes and the notes of others, taking away from the already limited time they have with their patients. I would like very much to spare other patients and their loved ones the added suffering that comes from avoidable mistakes and wasted time. Bad enough to face whatever illness or accident has befallen them. But to then have to endure additional, unnecessary suffering not only compromises a patients chance of recovery but the relationships between that patient and family, doctors, nurses and other members of the care giving team. Fast, reliable medical transcribing could prevent such negative consequences... as well as head off the potential lawsuits and broken relationships that compromise patient care.
Now, since my husband died, I find work is the best escape from the grief. I have always found accomplishment the greatest antidote to personal pain. But because the news industry, like so many others, is slashing jobs, I now find my income and hours radically reduced. Even more than the financial need, I find the need to be more fully occupied and mentally engaged. I believe medical transcribing could meet both these needs, well. I have always wanted to be my own boss. I have a strong work ethic and like to work at my own pace, without the distractions of office politics and gossip. As the baby boomers age, the health care industry will clearly continue to grow. If I can learn to do medical transcription at home, I can work virtually around the clock, with complete focus and commitment... and the added bonus of company and comfort from my cats and rabbits.

Of all the websites I explored, Future MTs offer of unlimited support via phone and the internet during training, along with the Job Assistance Program for help finding medical transcriptionist work at home impressed me the most. That and the chance of a scholarship to make it happen. I would like to not only become surpassingly accomplished at medical transcribing, but also enlist many of the good people with whom I have worked over the years in a medical transcribing business of my own. As the economy continues to struggle, many of my colleagues now find themselves on the sidelines, watching their jobs and savings evaporate. I want to assemble these talented colleagues in an enterprise that would earn us all a good living, and, even more importantly, the freedom and self respect of working for ourselves. I have had wonderful experiences putting teams together, before, to produce award winning news and magazine stories and shows. Now, with the loss of my dearest love and lifes partner of 30 years I would like to produce something more important than good TV.... good care for the sick and suffering.
