Why I Prefer To Work Out Of My Home
WRITTEN BY: Margaret R. Elkins
I desire to enter the field of medical transcription because I possess a high motivation and interest in the medical field but prefer to do medical transcription at home because I own no car. I consider myself an effective behind-the-scenes employee and do not prefer front-office responsibilities. I work most effectively, alone, utilizing my own initiatives and creative skills. I remain an active senior citizen with a part-time job as a Congregate Aide for the Murray Calloway County Senior Citizens Center cafeteria. I primarily assist seniors by setting up and running the coffee/breakfast bar, which provides light breakfast snacks for those who have had early-morning fasting blood tests and require nutritional aid, such as cereal bars, instant oats or grits and yogurt cups with coffee or juice. Having worked as a medical transcriptionist (1975-78) at Henry County Medical Center, Paris, TN, and helping seniors with multiple medical issues, I desire to return to the world of medicine via the MT industry in order to assist physicians, and in turn, assist patients with medical needs. Secondarily, I desire to work at home in order to supplement a very fixed disability income.
In these difficult economic times, the main advantage of working in the MT industry and working from home would allow me to visit my daughter, who is in the military, more frequently without having to ask for specific days, times or work off in a formal office setting. Also a supplemental income would help tremendously in eventually purchasing a car to improve transportation. Although medical challenges keep me (and will keep me) on disability, I remain an active senior, but like thousands of other seniors, I need to return to the workforce, at least to earn supplemental income, which is what I am doing now, part-time, earning $7.25 per hour. As a medical transcriptionist, I believe I can increase my earnings significantly without losing my disability benefits. I see an MT career as the avenue to fulfilling financial success.
A major benefit of formal training in Future MT will refresh and increase my medical knowledge, assure my successful return to an occupation I thoroughly enjoyed, but which would allow me a more financial cushion. Such gainful employment would help me save for and purchase a car to aid in transportation. I have completed three semesters at Murray State University, majoring, at the time, in creative writing and earning a BA degree in English, but mini strokes robbed my memory, especially, when it came to taking exams, although I earned a 4.0 GPA at first, college algebra brought me down to a 3.75 GPA. Educationally, though I work hard at memorizing facts, etc., a formal MT education would be a matter of listening to and reading familiar medical terminology in a repetitious form, from which I could learn to transcribe effectively. Also, I am a published free-lance writer, having had articles published in magazines like Liguorian, Soul, My Sunday Visitor and Parish Family Digest. I've had poems consistently published in the Paris Post-Intelligencer and the Murray Ledger & Times. I have edited and critiqued others' poetry, with their gratitude, and while in college, under my professor's supervision, assisted high school freshmen with English grammar, etc. Frankly, in three years, when I turn 65, the disability I am on will turn over into retirement. SN:0TG9Y2ESY
Between now and then, other than earning a supplemental income now, I look forward to earning a top income with retirement age because I will be able to earn more with fewer restrictions while on disability. I believe working as an MT will enhance my earning capabilities and raise the level of self-esteem, even as a senior citizen. Senior citizens can and do make a difference. We cannot and should never be written off because of age. As a senior citizen, I have experience in employment and in life that qualifies me to seek employment in this unique program. I intend to prove that age does not have to be the enemy here. Along with age comes wisdom. The measure of wisdom and knowledge is the measure to which I want to commit myself to this program and to the employment opportunities and responsibilities which come with it.
