offered overflow work from Canadian company at 9 cpl. Don't know if this is good or not. Can anyone help advise me, I really need it. Thanks.

Hi Janett, could you provide the company name that is offering this job?  I live in Canada and was just curious......

You can email me privately if you want to.  Thanks so much.

So, the issue is because all the MDs in Canada left and came to the USA because they did not agree with the government run health care?

So if USA goes to the same thing, where will all the MDs run to?  Don't they have the same thing in Europe, too? 

I just don't understand.  Will they all leave the profession?  It is because they want more money than the government will pay? 

It just all does not make sense to me.  Reading this, I am more apt to blame the doctors than the government.  They are the ones protesting the system and running away, all because they want more money. 

Please tell me if I am understanding this wrong. 

Maybe at the very least, we will get younger doctors getting into medicine for the right reasons and not so much for the big paycheck. 

But I am probably understanding this whole thing wrong.

Thanks for your reply.  I will probably read it again a couple times because it takes me a while to register things.  Thanks. 

I've personally used this pharmacy in Canada by mail and they have been great.

Hello, I am seeking a full-time MT job from home (in Canada). I want to work for a great company that pays well. I also want my computer and all required supplies paid by the company. I will pay for high speed internet!! Where I reside, we have fibreoptic telephone lines - therefore it is the best place to do medical transcription, the quickest speed of voice data and the clearest in north america!! We also rarely have storms here! I live in New Brunswick, 1 hour for calais, Maine.

I have 5+ years of experience and I am also a coder trained in Toronto. HOpe to hear from you soon. Thanks!

I have been working at home as an independent contractor for Scribes Data out of Ontario, Canada for the past three years and have loved working for them. I have worked my way to the top of the pay scale and am currently earning between $38-$40/hour. Recently I have been contacted twice by management asking me to consider becoming a full-time employee with benefits rather than an independent contractor. This would mean a dramatic decrease in pay... a $17,000/year base salary plus 60-70 cents/minute of dictation. For the last year I had been paid $1.60/minute of dictation, but just this past month they decreased that to $1.50/minute, stating that was more in line with their pay structure and that I would only be earing $1.60/minute on the radiology dictation I typed. And then a couple of weeks later they contacted me again statingn that I was no longer going to type any radiology dictation unless I was needed and then I would still only be paid the $1.50/minute.

This decrease in pay of 10 cents/minute does not really concern me, it just means I may have to work a littel longer than my normal 5 1/2 hours per day and I do not have a problem with that. My concern is that they are really going to push me to become an employee and just keep taking accounts away from me until I do just that.

Just wondering if there is anybody else out there who may be worried about the same thing.

IS THERE ANYBODY OUT THERE WORKING FOR DTS, BRENTWOOD BRANCH?
