Lots of work but I work with some India MTs too.

No India where I work. TONS of work. nm x

Sure, if you like your work going to India (sm)
after a few months!!
They're a MQ clone, without the mafia connections.
Can you afford to work for India wages (sm)
Don't even listen to people trying to sell you a class, study for something with a future.
I did formal training and MT was pretty good for a while, but now I wouldn't recommend this career to my worst enemy!
Yes some crappy India people get this work
But I think it is also a great opportunity to keep this IN the USA.
I work on an account that just came back from India sm
They had an outsourcing company that sent their stuff to India. They were so unhappy, they brought the account back to be done by AMERICAN MTS.
But the poster below me is right, the government IS doing something, they are making it easier and more financially rewarding to go overseas. One day and sooner than later, the American worker will be so poor and so economically depressed that America will no longer be able to import goods/services from overseas because we can't afford them. By that point, we'll be gardening in our window boxes and stockpiling foods that we will no longer be able to have or afford.
The tip of the slippery slope towards another Great Depression.
Oh well, as long as it gets our work out of India and back to us
I would go back to the office in a second for decent money and affordable benefits.
Do you honestly think MQ doesnt send work to India, etc.

i do rad work & i need lots more of it!
lots of work
We should start identifying ourselves by where we work, tier and what area we work in. I continue to have steady work, same old stuff, and overtime this weekend. People keep mentioning running out of work and no jobs available - I have not seen it yet.
lots of work
nor have I, my work keeps increasing and increasing
Now MT companies in India have control over the work produced. Quality is much

I have to take lots of breaks. I work a little then
cook breakfast and load the dishwasher. I work some more and then do some more chores. Sometimes I do a hobby for about 15 minutes, or I prep dinner, work in the yard if the weather is nice. It seems like I'm working 12 hours/day that way, but I'm not and I'm getting housework done too, which tended to pile up when I tried working in 4 hour stretches.
I also try to make a game out of it sometimes. I reward myself for working 2 hours straight - maybe read, work on hobby, something just for me, not something that needs doing.
You're lucky. I get lots of work but have
I think it is outdated, still lots of work requiring one. nm
INDIA, INDIA, NEWBIE LOOKING FOR INDIAN-OWNED COMPANY-FORGET AMERICA COMPANIES HIRING NEWBIES!!!!
 Our country sucks when it comes to teamwork. My experience is in hospital transcription and 95% foreign dictators. Most of my dictators are from India and surrounding countries. Give up you all,  India is already way ahead of us!
LOTS of work here, playing catchup all day long and still not there.

india ads
You are right ... and I cannot imagine that these are even remotely sanctioned by MTStars mgmt. Will await their input before jumping to conclusions.
How about it is all going to India???
nm
Why yes! It's very hot in India. (nm)

india
not sure, but if you were on the national do not call list maybe this would help?? since you do not know where they got your name from it might help. I am on that list and have not received any calls solicitating, selling, etc. thought this might help.
EMR/India
I am sorry to hear of your loss. We might as well face it, this industry is going to the birds. I have lost four Docs because of outsourcing to India. It is a shame that the Docs have to find a cheap way out because of all the overhead, malpractice, etc. that they have to pay. I have been in this for four years and I thank God that I have 12 years doing medical billing, for which I am going back to school to do coding. There is no job security in this industry, you are treated like dirt, you do not get paid on time and not treated like an employee should be and now EMR. What is next? Robots to do patient care? Good luck to you, but I feel this is just a little wakening up call to all of us that things are changing and not for the good.
India MTs
Where did you get this info that there are more CMTs in India than here in the US? Just curious. Thanks
India
Most of these people, at least at a company I worked for, work 2 shifts every day - company paid for them to get their CMT.
India
One of the reasons there is still such poverty there is that India still has the caste system. While becoming more westernized has improved the quality of living for the majority of Indians, those in the lower caste are not allowed the same opportunities. They live in squalor without running water, food, education, etc.
India
This is very disgusting! How are we to compete with $500 a year. If India is so great why is it that they hire Americans to edit this crap all the time??? These companies do not understand you get what you pay for just like everything else in life. It's all about saving the allmighty buck. This is exactly why I and I'm sure others out there do not work for any company who offshores!!
Why India?
Interesting article in "The Record". Would love to hear opinions on this.

I believe Jax is in India, right?

India and CMT
Please tell me they are not only undercutting us in pricing, but they are also getting a break on the CMT exam? I am "saving up" to take it! – see below from MT India
"Moreover, with an aim to encourage experienced medical transcriptionists in India to align with global standards and broaden their career avenues, Prometric & AAMT have also announced a special price for the Certified Medical Transcription (CMT) certification exam, which will be available for USD 150 (reduced from previous available price of USD 275)."
India
I agree, the India thing may be part of some of the problems I have noticed lately. Things are in a bit of an upheaval. Certain accounts that were said to have been largely off-shored now seem to be back here and always going out of TAT. The one I'm working on now is like that, and I wish it would stay here because I like it a lot.
no - that's how they say it in India
Probably the one in India.

From India
Me too, about a year ago, but mine was from India, what nerve.
From India, of course! SM
 What I can't figure out, if WE can't understand the lot of them, how did they ever get through the recruiting/hiring interview and application process, and how to they communicate with their peers and patients? Via interpreter??
Me neither whether that be here or in India..
I'm not real sure I see your point.
I'm not being difficult. I just don't understand how a fire would cause companies to not outsource.
There were fires in California. There was a hurricane in Texas. I am quite sure these two disasters did not spare places where medical records are kept.
He/She is probably QA in India
If this were an Indian MT, all they'd have to do is send it to their several layers of QA. This is likely an Indian QA person who has nobody else to ask.
Are you in India?
Just curious, as the way you express yourself does not appear to be the usual English seen on the board.
Are you in India?
No offense, just wondering.
are you from India or some other sm
country? Schools give instructions on Expanders and macros! Oh that is funny! Goes right back to experience! You are not going to have high line counts without extensive experience and learning, learning, learning! MT schools don't have any business (IMO) teaching about expanders and short cuts. They nee to teach medical transcription.
Experienced MTs have worked without expanders and macros before that ever came about and made excellent money. Sometimes I cannot believe what I read on here.
India!! LOL
AAMT in India
 LOL, that's a good one. Maybe next year!
