"My name is Maureen and I am 57 years old. I came to Med-Scribe in March of 2016 and was unsure of what to expect, whether this transcription place was just like some of the others that I had worked at over the past 37 years, whether it would be different. Once you begin to age, you become so resistant to change, any kind of change seems to be as insurmountable as climbing Mount Everest or having that body you used to have at 16.
Your mind tells you pretty much you are on that downhill slide.
Something different, though, happened to me here on my very first day. I was guided easily through all these transitioning steps by 4 mentors who had extreme patience, but not because they had to or it was their job. They really seemed to want to help. At first, I was skeptical because if you knew me you would know that I don’t take easily to change. I was in a new place with new people and looking at beginning again for the umpteenth time. I know that I challenged each and every one of them with my questions and my sometimes "not seeming to get it" attitude. The funny thing is that they were going to wait until that "light-bulb moment." They knew it would come even when I was not sure it would arrive. One day, things just clicked and it was easier. It was like they knew before I did that with all those years of experience I had I would suddenly relax again into what I knew and become comfortable. They gave me accounts that corresponded to my strengths and did not make me feel overwhelmed and struggling. The greatest thing that I have gotten in the short time I have been here is feedback. Once you are done with probation and are on your own, you are never left out there on your own. They will give you feedback that you might have elicited, feedback on your account so that you can actually visibly see where you can improve, a report that shows your progress and tips on how to become faster and more accurate. I am not easily impressed with transcription services, but I do believe Med-Scribe has been most impressive in the way they run their company, treat their staff and manage their accounts.
My husband was talking to my brother about my working for Med-Scribe and he said "It is the best place she has ever worked." I teased him mercilessly about that statement for months, and he said "it is true. I have never seen you calmer and not complaining about having to get up and go to work." I have been with my husband for 40 years and married 35 of those; I guess he should know.
I would encourage you to take the same step I did, call it a leap of faith, call it whatever you want, but there is no doubt In my mind that you will be grateful for giving it a chance. These are good people with good principles and good values. This is not just your typical transcription service. These are people who really do care."
