She came into my training center, ashen-faced, asking if we taught shorthand. We did ... but when she found out that the quickest course took 40 hours to learn and the shorthand could only be done with pencil (or pen) and paper, she burst into tears.Over a coffee, she shared that she was terrified she was about to lose her job as a medical administrator.She was responsible for taking notes during multi-disciplinary team meetings composed of all kinds of health professionals (surgeons, physicians, nurses, nutritionists, physiotherapists, etc.). She had to type the notes on a laptop, while the team members were talking - then produce the notes to be circulated to everyone the next day!That would be a tough job even for a 1950s 160-wpm shorthand-taker.For a harassed administrator with tons of other work to do, bucket loads of stress on her shoulders, and multiple people demanding her attention, it was an impossible feat. Her hands shook with the pressure when she tried to type the notes that the medics were calling out to her. She gave up completely when they started talking over each other.She was on anti-anxiety medicine from her doctor.Her Line Manager had called her in to ask if she was up to the job.
