I choose to be a “Medical Transcriptionist” to utilized my skills in writing, spelling, grammar and punctuation. My passion for medical transcription arose because of my love for research and thirst for knowledge. I have been curious about new diagnoses, new medications, new technologies, and new treatment options. Being a transcriptionist, you learn new and challenging problems people face on a day-to-day basis. As you learn and understand these things, it’s easier to know your own bodies need. My father, Oh how I loved my father, he was the greatest man I have ever know. He past away seven years ago from a stroke. If I had know the symptoms, I probable could have saved him. I felt helpless after the fact. “Why didn’t I know”. I saw the signs he was having, but didn’t know. How can you help someone If you don’t know or understand what is happing to them.
