Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 I'm not sure which I'd say is the easiest, but I always enjoyed typing OB/GYN and pediatrics. JMO, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Hi, I'd love to hear opinions about what various MTs think are the easiest specialties to transcribe. Radiology? OB/GYN? Chiropractic? Your input, please! :-). (If anyone says acute care I'm gonna' have to call you a big, fat liar! LOL!) Thanks so much!! S. RTSImmons@...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 I'm gonna have to go with outpatient Psychology on this one. No drugs, hardly any terminology whatsoever. It's like typing little short stories : ) (Now, if you ask me which is hardest ... in my opinion it's gotta be radiation oncology). Jen easiest specialty?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 For easiest I'd say Ob/Gyn, because the focus is fairly narrow, or maybe internal medicine. For the hardest, I'd vote for hematology (which I like anyway) or orthopedic surgery.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Now that really makes me feel stupid! I have recently started OB/GYN and find it difficult because of all the new terminology! I also thought dermatology was very difficult because of all the lab involved. I think internal medicine is NOT easy because you have to know a little about everything. The easiest one for me is psychiatric. I have a clinic with a psychiatrist and counselors. It is VERY interesting, so it goes pretty quickly. This is what I started with way back when. -- Re: easiest specialty?

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 , I do acute care, so I know that's not the easiest, especially since it's not a specialty, it incorporates most of the other specialties. Now, with that said, I believe the easiest would be ENT and GI, but remember I have never actually worked in a clinic doing a specialty. I think the most interesting is Psych, which is actually where I got my beginning, working in a psychiatric inpatient/outpatient facility.

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 I haven't answered yet because I'm still trying to decide. I started out in cardiology.. it was tough till I learned the lingo. Now when I get cardiology reports I love them.. probably because I'm pretty familiar with the terminology. I've also done pulmonary, OB/GYN, plastic surgery, ophthalmology (now there was a toughie!!!), radiology, GI.. that one's not too bad... emergency.. which is definitely interesting I've also done podiatry... that was interesting, and hem/onc. I liked that one, but learning all the drugs was a challenge. I think most any specialty is easy once you learn the lingo and specific terminology, although I think infectious disease and hem/onc can be extra difficult. JMHO. Jan jantranscribes@...

Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 I think my easiest specialty is GI. Fascinating work. Of course, after that work, I have every GI symptom known! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 20, 2002 Report Share Posted September 20, 2002 Easiest for me is family practice...hardest in my opinion...ophthalmology....even though you didn't ask for hardest val easiest specialty?
