You're a Medical What!? entertains and informs anyone who would peruse its pages. What reader would not eagerly turn the page to discover which famous person was a flirtatious rascal in the recovery room? What do medical transcriptionists hear when doctors forget to turn off their recorders? Imagine yourself sitting by the ocean in Kauai, watching the dolphins play offshore, while you continue your work, as the author so deftly describes.
There is an abundance of resource books for current as well as aspiring medical transcriptionists, and there is a small handful of humorous books, but there is nothing on the market that combines lighthearted anecdotal content with sound how-to advice. At last a book that appeals to anyone who is curious about the world of medicine, and more specifically how medical transcription fits into that picture. It provides a peek into a part of that world, and informs and teaches as it entertains.
Sara Burns offers a lighthearted perspective and insight into this little known, but vitally significant, component of the medical community.

Each chapter is a surprise, an eclectic mix of styles, jumping from one aspect of its subject to another with gentle humor and entertaining anecdotes.
