Hence, today I am going to provide some useful health tips which will prove to be a boon for medical transcriptionists.

Lot of experienced medical transcriptionists now regret avoiding these basic health tips during their work years. Hence; you can very well learn from the mistakes of these experienced people.

“A SMART PERSON ALWAYS LEARNS FROM OTHER’S MISTAKES RATHER THAN MAKING A MISTAKE AND THEN LEARNING FROM IT.”

Remember this and read carefully the health tips mentioned below:

  • Body Language: The kind of posture that you have when you sit while using computers can have a very deterring factor in creating discomfort such as back pain, stiff neck and shoulders, sore hands and finger among others. Normally when you are given specific targets to complete in a day it is quite natural to push yourself to get the target or even cross it. But you should also understand that human body needs rest.
      • In fact, even a short break for consuming tea or coffee of 5-10 minutes can energize you and it can enhance your productivity by 10 folds.
      • Eating healthy food is also key to have a balanced life. In fact if you are not having a regular time clock for taking lunch or dinner it can have a tremendous effect on your future life.
      •  In addition to this, take out time to exercise for about 10-15 minutes in a day by stretching your body parts and walking. This will make you relax and make you forget about the day-to-day tensions.
      • You can also take the liberty of sitting in relaxed position while doing your job. But do not sit in awkward positions because this often results in body aches.
      • As mentioned earlier, take regular breaks so that your body does not develop cramps by sitting at one position for a long period of time.


  • Form good work habits: While working on the computer sit in a relaxed position and relax your arms and waist while not typing. Do not work for longer work hours. As discussed in the earlier point take regular breaks to energize yourself. Do not press keyboard or mouse too heavily as this shows that your hand muscles are stiff and not relaxed. If you have the habit of using mouse more than the keyboard then keep the mouse in front of you and the keyboard on slightly on the other side. Always have some distance between the monitor and your eyes. Normally monitor should be between 18 to 30 inches away from the eyes. Do meditation before coming to office. Deep breathing also relaxes your muscles and energizes you to perform at an optimal level.  Have finger and hand message to relax your hands and to keep them warm thereby avoiding stiffness and cramping.
