Accident Victim with Paralysis Works as Medical Transcriptionist Online
I took classes at the local community college to become a medical transcriptionist and went to work in a local doctor’s office right after graduation. I enjoyed the job and my co-workers were very pleasant to work with. Things were going smoothly in my life. I became engaged to a wonderful man and continued to excel at my job. That all changed one wintry morning when I was injured in a serious car accident. Two other vehicles were involved, but I was the most seriously injured of the victims. I suffered a spinal injury that left me partially paralyzed. After months of rehab, I finally left the hospital but wasn’t well enough to return to work. My employer knew that I wanted and needed to work, so he set up a system where the information was faxed to me and I did the work online. It felt great to be doing something useful again. My story has a happy ending. The paralysis proved to be temporary and last year I was married and returned to my old job.
