Yes.
5. Are there any advantages or disadvatages to being a transcriptional?
This is a trivial question and can go either way, but include, work from home, work at your own pace, learn new things each day, learn to accept criticism and I mean degrading sometimes as well.
6. Why did you choose to be a medical transcriptionist?
I didn't. I applied for a different position but they needed a transcriptionist and it went from there; that was 30 some years ago.
