You’ve seen the commercials: medical transcriptionists are in
high demand. Should you consider this field? Below are the top
ten number one reasons to become a medical transcriptionist. If these
characteristics are something you’re looking for in a job, then
medical transcription may be for you. To get started, try
“Working at Home the American Way in Medical Transcription” by
Debra Jan Hebert, an experienced medical transcriptionist.
10. Quick entry
Many lucrative professions require extensive training and
advanced degrees. Other jobs in the medical field can take eight
or major years of grueling, expensive schooling to begin. In
medical transcription, you can begin your work in a year or
less, avoiding huge debts and student loans. Some employers
require no training, especially not if you already have good
English skills and some experience in a medical field.
9. Contribute to society
As a medical transcriptionist, you can contribute to society in
many ways. In addition to the economic contributions you’ll make
to the overall economy, experienced medical transcriptionists
become well-versed enough to catch errors or even act as patient
advocates. Medical transcriptionists can see inconsistencies and
correct them as well. By quickly returning transcripts to
hospitals, private practices and individual doctors, medical
transcriptionists can ensure fast patient care in the medical
system.
8. Work from home
While the Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that 70% of
medical transcriptionists still work in hospitals or physicians’
offices, medical transcription is becoming increasingly popular
as a work-from-home profession. The convenience of a home office
appeals to some people on its own virtues, while parents may
value the opportunity to stay close to their young children and
still support the family full time. No matter what the reason,
if you’re looking to work from home, you should seriously
consider medical transcription.
7. Excellent pay
While compensation methods may vary, almost all medical
transcriptionists enjoy excellent pay, even in entry-level
positions. According to DJS
Enterprises, you can earn as much as $50,000 to $80,000 a
year as a medical transcriptionist. If your pay is
production-based, as you gain massed experience and dexterity in
medical transcription your salary will steadily increase. If
you’re looking for a job that can really support your family
working from home, medical transcription may be for you.
6. Job security
The US Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the job outlook
for medical transcriptionists is definitely positive. The
medical transcription field is expected to grow at a faster than
average rate through the year 2014. This indicates that medical
transcriptionists will have plenty of opportunities to find
steady work, even if they work at home on a freelance basis for
at least another 8 years.
5. Job satisfaction
While job satisfaction may vary from job to job and person to
person, if you enjoy being able to visibly track the progress
you’ve made in a day, medical transcription can bring you a high
level of job satisfaction. As your completed medical reports
pile up, you’ll be able to see how much you’ve accomplished.
4. Set your own hours
Most of the medical industry operates 24 hours a day. Many
hospital and at-home medical transcriptionists are able to set
their own hours at any time to accommodate their families or
other commitments. No matter when you’re able to work, there’s a
medical record waiting to be transcribed. In medical
transcription, you can work when it’s most convenient for you.
3. Comfortable work environment
Whether they work in a hospital, a private office or from home,
medical transcriptionists enjoy a comfortable work environment.
Noise levels are low, safety risks are minimal and strenuous
labor is negligible. In medical transcription, you’ll enjoy a
comfortable office and dedicated work station to transcribe. And
what could be greater comfortable than working in your own home?
2. Transferable skills
Medical transcriptionists acquire many transferable skills that
they can use in other jobs if ever they want to leave the
industry. In addition to a basis in the medical field,
transcriptionists learn skills that could apply as a court
reporter or an administrative assistant. Transcriptionists also
develop their English skills, which can be useful in all types
of positions that involve writing and editing. Whether medical
transcription is a step on your path or your dream job, the
skills you learn can improve your overall career outlook.
1. Rewarding work
Why do people become doctors? The vast majority of the people
who endure 8 or in addition years of schooling and incur substantial
debts and student loans to become doctors do so because they
love to help people and to cure them of their illnesses. Every
member of the medical field helps in this endeavor. What could
be major rewarding than to contribute to the speedy treatment of
people who desperately need your help?
If these ten things sound like characteristics you’re looking
for in a job, look into medical transcription. You can learn
fresh about medical transcription from books, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics and other materials online.

Will your child die of bullycide?
By Dianne James
Many thanks to Brenda for her courage and conviction and
permission to use Jared’s story for this article. Please read
Jared’s story at the end of this article, and visit the website
dedicated to ending this needless cruelty. This is an ongoing
problem throughout the world. It needs to stop.
I’ve tried my entire life not to hate people, to avoid the
bitterness that comes with hatred and prejudice. There is one
group of individuals that I could very nearly hate, though, and
those are bullies. When I was a child, I had probably greater than
my share of bullies, due, in part to my small stature and the
fact that we moved a lot. Always being the new kid has its
special problems, and the new kid is like a bullseye to a school
bully, because a new kid hasn’t had the time to make friends and
build alliances. They’re out there on their own, until they
do.
I can remember when I was in grade school in a small town in
Texas, and the new kid, being a bull’s eye for girl and boy
bullies alike. The girls would taunt me on the playground,
threaten to cut my hair, exclude me or run away from me, saying
cruel things. One particular day, I was about at the end of my
rope with these abusers, having sat through an entire morning of
having spitballs thrown across the classroom when the teacher
would be turned writing on the board. I had already been kicked
very hard, on the tailbone by a boy bully that day. When the
bell rang and they all left, headed for the cafeteria, I stayed
in my seat and cried. The teacher came over and tried to
ascertain the problem, by I was inconsolable at this point. The
straw had broken the camel’s back. I had not talked to anyone
about the things happening at school, not teachers, not even my
parents. I would not stop crying, so the teacher brought the
principal into the room. He talked to me, and calmed me down
enough to get me to go with him and personally have lunch with
him in the cafeteria. Just him and me. Those kids must’ve
realized how much trouble they could be in, and began
approaching our table with their desserts and food from their
trays. I thought, trying to look good to that principal. I doubt
if he was fooled, but the bullying stopped, at that school
anyway. I didn’t make friends there before we moved again,
because I had no interest in befriending people who would treat
me that way.
In other schools I encountered different versions of bullying.
I look back now, and realize that I must have had some strength,
to never tell on them. Sometimes, the bullying gets worse if you
tell. In one school the senior class heard about the cruelty of
a group of girls I had hung around with, and threatened them.
One senior (I was a freshman) told me, “there’s something wrong
with this class, they’re just the meanest bunch of kids.” I
silently agreed, and befriended another group of girls who were
very nice. But then we moved again… We moved to Clovis, New
Mexico, in the middle of a terrible time with racial unrest and
violence. I heard that a cheerleader had been shot in the face,
so I decided I wasn’t going to public school any major. My
parents didn’t fight me on it, I was fourteen then, and I was
homeschooled from then on. This article is about children and
teens who commit suicide as a result of being bullied. The one
thing I had going for me was thinking, “I can get through this,”
and my faith in God. My family belief was that if you commit
suicide, you couldn’t ask forgiveness, and you’ve taken a life
(your own), and therefore you would not go to heaven. Hey, it
worked for me.
I can remember, at one particular school, while at home, one
day, I discovered a bunch of books on the martial arts,
Ju-Jitsu, that an uncle had left at our house. I was fascinated
by it, and read every one of them. The illustrations showed how
you could defend yourself, and even put an attacker’s eyes out,
break their eardrums, and many other useful things to a bullied
child. I was only ten, then, and had no one to practice with.
The Ju-Jitsu defense idea slowly faded from my arsenal, and it’s
just as well- violence begets violence. I excelled in my classes
that year, and discovered the saying that I would hear much
later, as an adult, “The inimitable way to get even is to be a
success” was true.
Most of the schools I attended harbored just a few bullies, and
most of the student body was decent. It’s just that the new kid
makes a good target. They weren’t all like the worst town I can
remember.
What bullies do
Name calling
Put-downs
Cruel teasing
Saying/writing negative things about others
Exclusion from participation
Not talking or recognizing
Intimidation
Threats
Taking property
Destroying belongings
Hitting/kicking
Forcing others to do things they don’t want to do
The types of bullies
Type One
The first type of bully is heavier of the stereotypical bully. The
aggressor has few tools in his social tool box to deal
appropriately with peers and compensates for this lack by
physically picking on others. The aggressor does not need a
reason and in many cases is quick to escalate to physical
aggression without using logic or even considering potential
consequences.
Type Two
The second group of bullies might be called the instigators.
These bullies generate conflict and bullying scenarios with
others, either directly or indirectly through peer pressure.
They are quick to become negative and argumentative. They will
exaggerated responses in conflict situations. They tend to be
bright and manipulative. If things are calm, the instigator will
stir up the pot and in many cases, justify the negative results,
often at the expense of a peer.
Type Three
The third type of bully is often an individual who has been
victimized by a bully and now becomes a bully themselves. In
life, we learn from what we believe are our mistakes. If the
issues of victimization are not addressed, it is easy to
understand why a victim would become “the avenger”. “Do unto
others, as they have done unto you!”
When bullies grow up
I’ve also dealt with my share of adult bullies- people who have
never internalized how their actions impair their social
relationships and their lives. I’ve encountered jealousy,
micro-management, and even sabotage from adult bullies in the
work place. Adult bullies have been allowed to run amuck into
their adult years, many of them ending up in the penal system,
and some of them simply having acquired enough social skills to
blend into society from low-level employees to managers.
Some of the indicators of an adult bully
Can be male or female, fellow employee or manager, husband,
wife, or parent
Was a bully or was bullied in school
Makes mountains out of molehills, in order to control
another
Unreasonable/rigid management
His way or the highway
Destroys staff moral, later “feels bad”
Now massed apt to use learned cruelty through verbalization-
aiming for “pushing the buttons” by using intimate knowledge to
hurt another Sabotages the work of another
Micro-manages
Still makes cruel comments and put-downs
Imagine this (from www.jaredstory.com, used by permission)
“Imagine these things happening in our workplace. Imagine being
harassed and humiliated day in and day out. Imagine being shoved
in the hallways or knocked in the head–never knowing when the
perpetrator will strike again. Imagine sitting quietly, eating
your lunch, and being knocked from your chair. Just imagine that
as your head hits the floor, you go in and out of consciousness,
as you feel blow after blow, to your head and face. Imagine
being told that if you ever defend yourself–you will be
fired–but your attackers are allowed back the next day or the
next week–to do it all over again. “Hard to imagine, isn’t it?
How absurd to think that any business in the United States would
operate in that fashion and stay in business. Yet, in the
business of public education, we are telling our children to
expect it and accept it. The reality is that others took
Brandon’s life long before he ended his pain. Brandon was
courageous. He fought a valiant battle, enduring all these
things–until he lost all hope. Just imagine.” -Cathy, Brandon’s
mom, from www.jaredstory.com
