Lucked out

Ad in newspaper to learn billing from a hospital. Three classes. Took two and while waiting for third class, answered ad in paper from another hospital for MT, no experience, willing to train, but needed to know medical terminology, which was my first class. They were desperate and hired me on the spot. $8.00 per hour. Wow!! That was great in 1988.

You lucked out is all if it was quiet....sm
But most MDs dictate near the unit stations where the nurses and other people are talking loud and seemingly don't care that there is an MD there trying to dictate.
I STILL work for MQ (only on weekends for 9 years and work privately during the week). They quit the *cesspool* stuff and have given us all 3 accounts (possibly more for other people). I sometimes do get a 4th account if all my 3 others are done.
Have a good one!!! 
I do QA at home and just kind of lucked into my current job but (sm)
I also check jobs ads frequently and even occasionally apply for other part-time work. Most I have seen want you to have very recent MT work in the basic 4 or currently working as an Editor for last last 1 year or so. Not in all cases but that's what I've seen.
