I liked that I could put on headphones and type 120 wpm and still sit and think about other things. However, my last job was for an independent company. I was paid for how much I typed. This led to me typing non-stop, barely taking time to eat or a break. Some days I would work 10 hours. It made for great money, BUT the downside was I ruined my left hand/wrist.<br /><br />The diagnosis is segmental dystonia (writer's cramp--yes there is such a thing). My left hand, to this day, cramps up into a fist when I type, thus causing me to type with only my index finger on the left hand. (It's been 25 years since I quit transcription.) The doctors wanted to inject Botulinum toxin into my wrist to relax the muscles! No way, Jose!<br /><br />I had to change careers. The only other job I enjoyed as much or more than medical transcription was working for a weekly community newspaper doing inside and outside sales. I also wrote business articles about new businesses opening up in town. I loved that job. I was out and about in the community, in the Chamber of Commerce, joined a networking group, and was president of a Kiwanis Club for 18 months.<br /><br />Anyway, medical transcription was a great job for a word person.<br /><br />SusanTravelBug-Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974719934652737928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2756706420552331439.post-71999223987125382122012-06-25T03:15:34.706-05:002012-06-25T03:15:34.706-05:00Cash prize?
