An Entertaining, Witty, Practical Look into the Career of a Medical TranscriptionistSara Burns responds to a question she has heard my times in her chosen career, "You're a Medical What?" Sara shares how she got started in this unique career field, its pitfalls, rewards, where the industry is headed and a look behind the "Sanctum Sanctorum."In a chapter written specifically for those in Medical Transcriptionists she writes, "When you reach your burnout stage (and we all do), dream a dream, create a wonderful odyssey and then make it happen." Other tips like this one are practical and applicable to every professional, self employed individuals working alone, or for those on a staff of the large corporation.Whether sharing random thoughts or tackling specific problems of the transcriptionist Sara helps the reader recognize what is working, what needs to be fixed and how to respond with immediate actionable steps.Sara's writing offers a combination of comprehension of her chose
n field, a connection with the reader, and a credibility that comes with the experience gained in her thirty year career. Her enthusiasm is contagious and she writes with clarity.Clever and witty, Sara's humor comes out in poetry, "Ode to a Home-Based Transcriptionist," comedy routines, and subtle observations. I enjoyed her colorful descriptive words as she introduces some of her clients: "curmudgeons and sweethearts: perfectionists; the regular guys, the prima donnas; the tyrants and the pussycats..."This is a book to be enjoyed by all health care professionals. It is must read for every Medical Transcriptionist, and will be enlightening, entertaining reading for anyone who has ever had an emergency visit or been admitted to the hospital. Entertaining, witty, and practical, a great read.As reviewed for Midwest Book Review
