[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

My husband told me your requesting information on medical 
transcription.  Once you are in the field, it is fantastic and there is 
great demand.  I have now been in the field now for 19 years.  As Phil 
told you, there are positions available to do it out of your home.  
However, at first it would be good to work with some one to get some 
good training.  I have had the great opportunity of helping to train a 
few different people during this past six months and have enjoyed it 
very much.  I do well working for this medical transcription service 
and I enjoy it there quite a bit.  It seems like services are the way 
of the future, and most hospital transcription departments are a thing 
in the past.  However, there are a lot of fly-by-night services and you 
really have to be careful and be sure to check out their reputation.  
It is always good to have some kind of transcription course but when 
you go into the job situation it will seem strange, putting the terms 
into practical application.  It might be good for you to maybe check 
out some clinics or maybe small hospitals to get some practical 
experience under your belt.  If I could help in any way, I would be 
glad to do so.  It sounds like you are really having a difficult time.
