I am sorry I can´t help you, I am a doctor myself and I couldn't understand what its written there\nThe best advice is to call your doctor because if some one misunderstands what it says it can be dangerous for you in the case of a prescription or it can get you to get the wrong diagnostic procedure making you loose time and money.\nAnd yes a lot of us have awful writing a lot of causes we are pushed to write to fast, some actually hate to write, and in addition some doctors like me have awful writing since primary school.\nnone of those are excuses and if a doctor cannot write clearly he should print his orders in order to make things easier and safer.\nWe are working on that

I don't know if my job is the most interesting here on Yahoo Answers, but I own a medical transcription business. In addition to doing work for doctors, I also do work for private social workers and private investigators, which is pretty interesting.

Yes. You pick up the doctor's dictation tapes and return later with printed transscriptions.

I used to do medical transcription from home. Great job, but it's amazing how many people didn't believe it was real. My mother in-law used to always ask how long until I went to get a real job.\n\nThese days I run my own home business. I have more fun and earn more money most months. Still a real job that I take seriously and work hard on.

If you're medically inclined, you should consider enrolling in a medical transcription program at a good college.  There's probably one near you - a local community college, for example. \n\nMany medical transcriptionists sign on with outsourcing companies and work entirely from home.  I personally know MT's that earn as much as $60K/year.  They are given work to do, and they perform it on their time - whenever is convenient for them, as long as it is completed in a timely manner.  They love the freedom and flexibility, and make pretty good income.\n\nIt's going to take some college work to do it right, but the rewards are worth it.

Think of it this way... when you "transcribe" something you are WRITING it down... this is what happens during transcription... a copy of the complimentary strand of DNA is made in the mRNA (messenger) basically, a MESSAGE is taken down so that it can be delivered to the ribosomes where it will be "translated" into proteins... \n\nTranslation is when that message is actually "translated" into a string of proteins from the original message, like following a recipe to make a cake (the cake is the string of proteins that section of DNA holds the recipe for and the recipe is the message encoded into the mRNA).

Podcasting is a new form of on-demand streaming media. Just like you can watch cable shows on-demand you can watch/listen to a podcast through iTunes and other software like iPodder. The podcast amounts to a media file and XML Syndication file. The medica file (MP3, MOV) is stored on a server so that it is available to the public. The XML file basically explains where to go to get the media file and provides some Meta Data about the Podcast (Description, Title, etc)

Transcription is the process by which RNA polymerase transcribes the DNA sequence into an RNA sequence by creating a single stranded RNA molecule, which is later processed to become mRNA.  The mRNA is then translated into proteins, which are the functional product of an organism.

Closed captioning is basically subtitles for televison. They are used for the hard of hearing so they can listen and read if they miss a bit. They are usually accessed thru the teletext option on your telly. A video transcription is just the words and gist of what is said in the program you are watching and displayed in the same language that is being spoken. The transcription becomes the Closed Captioning.

CONTACT NASSCOM. New Delhi for information on Indian Websites and Training Groups for Medical transcriptions. Most of the training facilities are run by subcontractors of American Principals and hence the courses they offer are of that origin.\n\nBut I would advise you to take the US version for the simple reason that by the time you finish the course, you would be well familiar with the accents of American English which is one of the  main obstacles for the Indian aspirants in this profession.. This valuable experience cannot be purchased for a few dollars that you will save in fees.\nBesides, errors of an Indian student under training  are  more tolerated than the errors of a certified Indian Transcriber. Significantly high rejectiioons will jeopardise chances for future work.\n\nAs a simple practising exercise, watch American medical case movies like the Final Diagnosis and try to write down the technical terms used therein. It is worth the effort and will enhance your initial effort's quality. \nAnother helpful tool is the Audio-Video guide on total Health published by the American Health Association. I do not remember the exact title and the publishing firm's address . But Ihave read  and heard the Audio edition. It is a veritable gift for an Indian student wanting to be an MT. Cost then was around fifty dollars.

The good thing about the medical profession is that there are so many types of jobs that require varying levels of education, so there's a lot to choose from.  I started out as a historian (just taking patient histories) and worked my way into transcription, which offers more money and the chance to use my writing skills -- lots of doctors, when they dictate, don't speak as one would write, so they depend on the transcriptionist to take what they say and rework it.  Being a medical assistant will offer you the chance to work with people, and if you like doing that, you might continue your education (even while keeping your job) to become a nurse, a physician's assistant or a nurse practitioner.  Since you especially like working with children, you could work in a pediatric office or hospital.  Considering the fact that there are so many options, my opinion is that if you're in a medical assisting program right now, you should finish it and then get a job in a medical office or hospital before deciding if you want to do something different.  By actually working in the field, you'll see firsthand what all of the jobs consist of and you'll get a better idea of just where you'd fit in.  Best of luck!
