Happy Mother's Day!

Today is Mother's Day, and that made me start thinking about all of the information I have read, such as posts and articles on the internet that are written by women who began a career in medical transcription so that they could stay home with their children.

Actually, I first heard about medical transcription from one such woman when I was a child. Her name was Melissa Grigg. She was a wonderful, creative, highly intelligent and devoted mother, mentor, and medical transcriptionist. Melissa Grigg was my aunt, but she was more like a second mother to me. The discussions we shared about medical transcription and the medical field helped to shape my interest in pursuing this career myself.

Medical transcription is not an easy career, and neither is motherhood. However, they are two of the most rewarding decisions a woman can make in life. Happy Mother's Day to all of the women out there making the difference as medical transcriptionists and mothers!
