I am 41 years old. I am married and a mother of 2 daughters, one 20 and one 14. My oldest daughter is in college in the Merchandising and Marketing field and my youngest daughter just started high school. I have lived in the Dallas area for over 20 years. I am interested in learning more about the medical transcription at home for 2 reasons. One of which has just become more evident to me. My older sister was diagnosed with Bladder Cancer 3 years ago. She has had her bladder and one of her kidneys removed. Since the surgeries she has become ill several times and has now been diagnosed with Characinoid Malignancy. Previous to my sister’s cancer diagnosis, my father passed away of Heart Disease and after that my grandmother of several different issues related to Heart Disease. I have just realized the lack of my knowledge around the terrible diseases we call Cancer and Heart Disease and would like to learn more about them.
I know that this field is very complex and would really enjoy the opportunity to learn through Transcription work, the details and explanations of different medical issues. I have always considered medical transcription jobs at home and would enjoy the opportunity now to pursue it due to its flexible in home work schedule. I will be providing care alternately with my mother for my sister during this very difficult time. It looks as though my sister will have to be transferred to MD Anderson in Houston for another round of tests and possible another surgery to remove the cancer that has just been diagnosed. This will be an overwhelming procedure for her again. Her family has to deal with the Cancer word all over again. I just feel like I have a handicap not knowing some of the basic things to ask and have done lots of research on the internet to learn about different types of cancers and heart disease. I just recently participated in the American Heart Association heart walk here in Dallas to raise funds for research in Heart Disease.SN:0MA9N2ESY
I know there are lots of strides being made every day in these areas of medicine and I fill like I could contribute to the education of everyday folks like myself if I had the training to learn some important information around these fields. I have presently been in the Administrative field for over 18 years and have just now realized that I need to learn more in the medical field for not only myself but for my immediate family as well. It would seem as though I have some medical issues in my family history and I would love to take this opportunity now to be proactive in learning all that there is to know and becoming a personal conduit for helping many others if they are ever finding themselves in the same situation that my sister and her family is in.
