5.0 out of 5 stars I loved this book, it was exactly what I was looking for!, August 1, 1999
By A Customer
This is the best career resource I have ever read. It was packed with detailed information and resources about medical transcription, setting up a business, taxes, education - you name it. I found it all in this book. The authors tell it like it is and are clearly are keeping abreast of the industry trends and they live and breathe their topic. I highly recommend this book to potential MTs, MT students, and seasoned MTs. There is something to learn for everyone here! Thank you for this outstanding resource! KM, South Lake Tahoe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dynamic reference packed full of a wealth of information., February 14, 1999
By A Customer
This has to be the most comprehensive resource written about a career field in which very little information was available. These authors just get better and better, and this, the third edition has to be the best yet. They know their topic inside out and provide up-to-date resources about the medical transcription field. I can't think of anything they have left out! I refer this reference to everyone I talk to about Medical Transcription...there is no other resource that compares to this one. Thank you authors for this outstanding career guide that has helped so many people launch their careers in medical transcription.
