An Entertaining and Informative Page Turner!"Sara entertainingly depicts the real world of medical transcription - its humor, challenges, frustrations, accomplishments, joys, and pains.Seasoned MTs will laugh and nod in agreement, "newbies" and students will get an uncensored view of MT as a career, relatives and friends will better understand what MTs do and why, and physicians and other healthcare professionals will better appreciate their silent partners. A delightful read for all!"- Claudia Tessier, CAE RHIA, Vice President, Medical Records Institute & Former CEO of The American Association for Medical TranscriptionThere is an abundance of resource books for current as well as aspiring medical transcriptionists, and there is a small handful of humorous books, but there is nothing on the market that combines lighthearted anecdotal content with sound how-to advice. At last a book that appeals to anyone who is curious about the world of medicine, and more specifically how medical transcription fits into that picture. It provides a peek into a part of that world, and informs and teaches as it entertains.

This review is from: You're a Medical What!?: A Lighthearted Peek into the World of a Medical Transcriptionist (Paperback)
I absolutely love this book. I was so happy with it that I ordered 3 more for my transcriptionist friends. I find myself constantly quoting something from the book while I am at work. I also have a better understanding of how my doctors feel some days by the time they get to the office. I was amazed at the similarities that we transcriptionists have. We are certainly not alone in our love for our work and in our frustrations that we have at times.

Quick and easy read,
This review is from: You're a Medical What!?: A Lighthearted Peek into the World of a Medical Transcriptionist (Paperback)
I am an MT student, almost finished with my distance learning program and excited to start! Reading this book confirms for me that I have made the right decision, and it is a field that I am also naturally drawn to because I find medicine so fascinating. There are some cute stories that will make you laugh. I am glad to learn that after almost 30 years as an MT, Sara Burns still struggles to hear a word now and then. I thought it was just because I am a struggling student who isn't sure of herself yet. Finally, for those thinking about this profession, Ms. Burns mentions the predatory magazine ads which portray easily learning medical transcription in order to work at home. Let me say that it is a serious undertaking, and there are several accredited learning programs out there through some reputable MT training schools. Do your research. You will not become a qualified MT after finishing a $75 course found in a magazine ad. After reading this book I feel that I now understand all the possibilities.
