Medical transcription
Okay kiddo, have you ever been to the doctor where the doctor asks you a bunch of questions and writes down what you say? That's kind of like what medical transcription is, but instead of writing down what you say, someone else listens to what the doctor says and writes it down for them.
When you go to the doctor, they'll ask you questions like "what hurts?" and they'll look in your ears, nose, and throat to see what might be wrong with you. They might also take your blood pressure or give you medicine to make you feel better. The doctor says all of this information out loud and someone else (called a medical transcriptionist) listens and types up everything they hear into a computer or on paper.
After the medical transcriptionist writes all of this down, they double-check everything to make sure they got it right. They might also look up some medical terms to make sure they spelled them correctly because doctors use some really big words that are hard to spell!
Once they're done, the doctor can read what the medical transcriptionist wrote and use it to help them figure out what is wrong with you and what kind of treatment you need. So, medical transcriptionists help make sure doctors have accurate information about their patients to help them stay healthy.
