Good for you! It is also time to let the patient know where their sensitive information is being sent. We are only 5% of the world's population, and if we don't safeguard our economy and jobs, we will all be cleaning houses for the rich of the world that come here to suck up what we have left.

MDI-FL/Transcend one and the same. Proud to outsource and not protect American MTs.
We have no job security.
Please go ahead and be proud. I am proud too! sm
 I am proud to be an American too. I am also proud to bring home a good income for my American family. I am comforted by the fact that I always have plenty of work, never run out of work, and I can easily get 6000 to 7000 lines beyond the incentive point for even more cpl. I am proud of the fact that I am always paid on time or early. I am proud of the company I work for and the people I work with. I am proud to be associated with Cardioscribes and Tonya. No company has ever treated me better than Cardioscribes does. I am treated with respect and kindness each and every day. If I have any problems, they are there to help me in any way they possibly can. I am proud of the fact that I know where my company stands and where I stand within that company. Cardioscribes does not hide the fact that there is an Indian affiliation. You go ahead and be proud to be American. Your pride just means more work and more $$$ for me and my proud American family.
proud of you.

????????? some people can'twork weekends so good for u if you like it who cares
Proud, not prideful!
Dell is an American company that outsources as much as it can to save money. I didn't realize that when I bought the computer a few years ago but only found out when they made a mistake with my bill. Then I got sick and tired of being called day and night by people who didn't understand anything I said and vice versa.
Why should I waste my time trying to decipher somebody's bad English because Dell is too cheap to hire Americans? I have nothing personal against the workers but it is so annoying to listen to somebody mangle my native tongue and a waste of time if you can't understand each other. If the person's feelings were hurt, well I do apologize. It is very rude and disrespectful of Dell and other companies to fatten their wallets at the expense of their fellow Americans. And THEY are disrespectful to the workers they hire if they hire them without making sure they are fluent enough to provide good customer service. You get what you pay for.
MDI does not offshore. They are proud
grateful for our country and the talent it has. Not everyone offshores.
Of course they are proud of offshoring SM
...they are shameless. More and more I am beginning to believe that the tide WILL turn back to the American worker. Swings both ways, something they are not worried about. Anyone who offshores has something other than the American worker in mind. Besides, I've worked for the head honcho biscuit eater types and they appear nauseating and pompous (and that's just an impression from the tone of their emails). Good luck to Transcend employees.
Yes we are PROUD of our group & have NOTHING
NM
And proud of it baby. Laugh is on you lol

You get what you pay for.. for 1.5 cpl what do you think your getting.. high quality. No proud MT w
and of course those kinds of companies thrive on that. I mean really. 1.5 cpl.. No one with any experience or common sense would work for that!!
Bravo for you! Keep up the good work! You should be so proud! nm
nm
and you are proud that you sacrifice quality for line count?
Too scary to be believed! Hope you never, ever, ever transcribe a report on a cancer patient!
You are a piece of work. Real pro. Any company would be proud
to have you.
Eyetype is proud of herself - on other posts she calls herself an old hateful bigot or
something to that effect. I just totally avoid anything with her name in it - such a waste of eye sight. Obviously, her husband, if she ever had one, checked out on her, and she's a miserable evil person. Poor thing, though its hard to feel sorry for her when she's so ugly.
It's called "professional pride" - people proud of the way "they" do things.
You can't win with these types of people, and I think you're right, it's trivial nonsense. Best thing to do is leave and find a more reasonable employer - they're out there.
An American
Your right - I posted and I am American. Read the book - The Worls is Really Flat - grow up. This is a busines that Sally Struthers advertises to unemployed people in the middle of the day - Learn to be a medical Transcriptionist ...
I believe that rasism is bad. The people on this site are off balance. They believe that ONLY Americans can do this work. They believe that because someone was born in another country - they are a lesser person. How sad and small - it is the very thing that will kill the business for Americans. MTSOs understand that they provide a great living for people in India. Indian companies provide health insurance, paid time offf, transporation to and from work, and free meals. Do American MTSOs provide ANY of this?
all american
meant appreciate that, oops 
Yes, you got it - American men do same.....NM
American MTs
American MTs: Is this job for you? This little paragraph should go in all their job ads.
And yes, we do outsource, to India, to the Philippines and we have American MTs. Our overseas MTs don't complain about having to work, they don't ask for time off every other day, they don't have excuses for not turning in their work within TAT and several of them produce client ready work. Our offshore MTs pride themselves in their work and turn in the best quality they can, unlike a few of the American MTs we’ve had that turn in less than perfect work, don’t take direction and refuse to change bad habits, and ask for more work just to make more money.

non-American MTs
Gee you are a foreigner...you are not an American...so should American companies not hire you because you are taking the American dollars away from Americans? Would you feel the same way about hiring British MTs or French MTs?
No, he IS American. Which is of course (nm)
.
Are you American?
nm
They took American and MT out of their name...
That about sums it up! I guess they can take our money for their self-serving agenda, but don't expect them to use American or MT in their name anymore. Thanks for NOTHING Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity. What a joke you always have been and still are....
Well, no WONDER you can't get American
Of course, don't think for a minute that INDIAN MTs don't read these boards. So now THEY know what kind of an employer you are, too! I hope one of them gets ahold of a sensitive medical record of YOURS someday, and holds it for ransom like that Pakistani MT did, and sells your SS#.
Are you American? If not, why don't you go to
the board in your own country? If you are American, then why not do something about helping Americans get jobs? Can you answer these questions?
100% American

American company
A company from Maine wants to hire me (if I pass their testing). THing is, they hardly discussed a thing with me about anything. THey only want to pay me 7-8 cents per line, but promise to provide me with the computer and all supplies that I need. I dont want to invest alot of time studying and stuff if they decide not to pay me or send the stuff. They only have one other canadian working for them as an IC (they pay american MTs really well as employees with benefits). Just seems kind of odd to me. THey are called Northeastern Transcription anyhow. I wish i could find a good company to work for that pays decent are and nice to work for. Me and hubby are both out of work presently!!

CHRISTMAS IS AMERICAN
When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Majority rules here in America. MOST people celebrate Christmas in this country. If I were in a Japanese country I would expect to see oriental things all over the place and if I were in Israel, I would expect to see Hannukah all over. What is wrong with people? The world has gone totally nuts.
Is anyone happy with American
They have some surgical positions that I'm interested in. Has anyone had good luck with them? What is the pay and insurance like? Or is it IC?
Assumed you were American..
which makes it more sad that you expect such poor quality of your very private personal medical records and others as well, not to mention the lack of privacy in another country. Go figure!!! No patriotism whatsoever. Shame on you.
Ever though it could be that American MTs don't want to put up with a boss like YOU!!!
American labor is the backbone of this country. You are part of a HUGE problem!!!!
AAMT--where's the American in it?
This is in reference to their teaching in the Phillipines.
I myself do NOT feel comfortable having my information sent overseas, including my name, DOB, and often SSN listed in the demographics screen of each note. I have heard stories of prosecution (or lack there of) by identity theft from people in other countries. Maybe Americans should start boycotting or protesting the healthcare industries that outsource overseas!!!!!!!!!!!! 
That's why they keep american's ignorant
Thank your corporate media for reporting the government's propaganda... I think Americans have to learn the hard way that if they don't participate in democracy they will surely lose it.
The american "dream"
The american dream has now turned in to hoping you have the winning lotto numbers because you can't rely on anything anymore. Jobs are leaving and have left the US for places where employees make far less money. I just wonder how many more companies will follow and what will happen the the citizens of the US can no longer afford to buy any of the products made by these companies due to jobs being offshored. I honestly feel bad for those who have lost their jobs due to companies offshoring. Several family and friends of mine lost jobs when Maytag moved out. Unfortunately, most of them have jobs that pay so low they cannot afford to purchase Maytag products. I think the American Dream has pretty much disappeared. Some may still have some luck attaining it, but others will never have the chance. I think it's only a matter of time before more MT work is offshored to the point where the majority of us will have to find another line of work. Unfortunately, that work is going to be far less pay and not so great benefits. I'm sorry to all those at Heartland who have been laid off. I hope you all find something soon. I know down the road there will be many more of us in that situation as well.
American people need to know
I think the American public needs to know what is happening with their medical records and all their personal, private information.
All American Transcription
Does anyone know anything about this company? I got a call from them and wanted to check them out. I don't want to waste their time or mine. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
Yes, you said it!!! Any non-Native-American...nm
No, it is actually an American run company in
Garden City, NY. Now whether or not they also offshore, that I do not know.
?? American company
Please provide your information validating that this is now an American owned company. I believe the correct company name is SPi (not PSi), and from extensive research, SPi is actually now wholly owned by the Phillipine Long Distance Phone Company, but SPi will retain its name. None of my research discloses that an American company has purchased SPi, rather the opposite, another Phillipino company has purchased SPi recently. If you have validation that this is now an American-owned company, I would great appreciate this :)
but if the american quality were better..sm
Do you understand?
If they are going to pay transcriptionists and they are equal, then price is an issue. If americans were sooo much better, indians wouldn't be able to compete.
It's an American family; however
looking at their website, it does say they have significant private equity in India.

That would be All American Transcription. Not sure if it's

All American Transcription
Does anyone have any information on this company out of Ohio? I see their ad for sleep study help and was thinking of applying since my regular job is so slow. Thanks for any and all help
Sorry.....100% American company.....sm
I have spent 10 years building my company and can proudly say I have NEVER sent work overseas.
Oh, but I am American MTer
Still does not apply.
American MTs/India
One of the reasons the work is sent to India at night is because very few MTs will work past 6 p.m. I work a split shift and am shocked at how many MTs will only work between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. Mon-Fri (not 12 hours but only hours between those.) Even when they are hired for one weekend day which is the way it is supposed to be now for new hires they don't show up on their weekend day and there are very few of us who work past 6 p.m. If American MTs want the work they have to work all shifts. If you are new in a company you get the crappy shifts and days until you work your way up after being their for awhile. That's they way it is in corporate America-why do MTs think its not they way for them?
AMERICAN JOBS
for AMERICAN workers. In case you have not noticed, America is having a Depression. AMERICAN JOBS FOR AMERICAN WORKERS. I wish you well in your search, but not with an American company.
It's getting my American and ESL all wrong... when you first look sm
When you glance at the document, you say wow, impressive... but as you edit along... it's full of mistakes. It is quicker than retyping the whole thing but the pay is far too low for what I have to do now. I'm making below minimum wage.
Oh and I will not work for $10 an hour either. Forget it.
American companies will let you
work overseas as their employee? For instance, if you wanted to stay for an extended period in another country to visit someone but you can't afford to not work?
Still American MTs doing the work
why shouldn't people from India not be allowed to have a part in it? Don't they deserve to make a living too?
