Hello Linda,

I am a newbie to Transam, and I wanted to express my thank you to you and everyone there. I have just started on my first file in the Group 1, and to be honest was a little nervous about doing so. I'm feeling a lot more relaxed today after reading the May newsletter and finding out that I'm not alone. It's wonderful to know that there are genuine people out there that truly care. I personally think that your "God Inspired" attitude toward the company and all of us Subbies will make Transam very successful.

As of right now, I know that I can ask for help and not feel that I'm silly or stupid for not knowing something. I think it's very important to assist each other the best way we can.

Thank you again,
Sunny

Hi Linda,

So happy to be in communication with you. I feel as though I know you and Alan just by reading the monthly newsletters, which I find so helpful. I'm proceeding along with my practice in Level 1. I know that I will have some questions, but it's good to know that I have such supportive people like you to call upon.

My fiancée and I live in Lake Worth, FL, which is just south of West Palm Beach and North of Ft. Lauderdale. We are planning our wedding at this time. The big event will happen on September 16th at the Unity Church of Delray Beach with a little reception to follow. My fiancée is very supportive of my goal to become a top- notch medical transcriptionist. I'm certainly grateful for that.

I'm looking at my internship with Transam as a fun challenge, even though I'm sure there will be times I'll get a little frustrated or confused, but we'll get through that.

Thank you again for all the support. By the way, please extend my thanks to your support team. My question was answered in a very timely manner.

Love,
Sunny

We just got home yesterday evening. Things went relatively well with the surgery. We now have to watch for a fever or vomiting and wake her up every four hours to make sure she lies on equal sides of her head and give her medication. It is very exhausting and I pray for the Lord to help us through this and keep her well and happy again soon. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers and support. It has made this so much easier to bear with all the wonderful people out there praying for her.

I will write again soon.

God Bless,

Heather

Hello Linda!

I just finished reading the May II Newsletter. I am very concerned about Heather and Caitlyn. I can imagine that this whole ordeal has been very scary for Heather. Please pass on my prayers for health and happiness.

On a lighter side, I hope you and Alan have a wonderful vacation in sunny
Florida. It sounds like you both deserve it! The bay in Tampa is beautiful. Maybe you'll get to drive over the really long bridge to Indian Rocks Beach.

I just sent my husband and two-year-old out the door, so I hope to finish up my files this morning. There is one word that I can't wait to find out what it is. Even the lady at the AAMT help desk couldn't decipher it! The Dr. sounds like he's about to fall asleep in most of his dictation.

Enjoy your trip,

Hi Linda:

Just wanted to say hello and introduce myself. I recently have received "The MT Professional" and I am very excited and anxious to get started with Transam. But I did want to say hello to you since I have mostly been doing business with Alan so far.

I just received my first copy of your newsletter and it's great! It gives so many useful ideas and it's great to hear from the other MTs working for you -- especially the newbies, as I am a newbie myself. It can be a little intimidating coming into a new profession, and reading your letters lets me know I'm not the only one.

I live in Maryland and decided that I wanted to be a stay-at-home mom after we had our daughter, who now is almost 3-years-old. We consider her our little miracle child (Samantha) as she was born 12-weeks early. We are now expecting our second bundle of joy in November, which makes being able to work from home all the more important to me. I want to thank you both for this opportunity and let you know how very excited I am about working with Transam. From what I have seen so far, it truly seems that you take an interest in your MTs, not only on a professional basis, but on a personal level as well. I think that's great!!

Thank you again,

Michelle H. - Maryland

Hi Linda -

I just wanted to drop you a quick note and say that I am praying for your peace and mental clarity in the days and weeks ahead - I pray that your time away, just the two of you, will give you just what you need. I pray that you two will be able to solidify your vision of the future of your company, and proceed forward with a clear picture! I can understand how you can have all of the above at one point, and then as life (and success!) happens, situations, circumstances, reality - just all kinds of things change your perspective and provide the need to readjust and clarify your course.

I can totally understand your desire to be flexible with what is "correct" etc. I would be like that, too, I think. I could see how a doctor may not really care about some specifics, but just may want it always done the same, whatever it is. However, I also understand, as a newbie, wanting to know the "right" way. I think this insecurity is magnified with the distance, because you don't have someone to just ask those little questions of, or someone who can look over your shoulder for awhile and just say, "Yep, that's right" etc.

Don't worry - it will all work out, and pretty soon you'll be in FLORIDA!!! I do fervently pray that you will be totally refreshed by this time away.

In Christ's Love, Tammy in Oregon
