midwest here too
I make 15.00 an hour but the company I work for is rather small.
midwest here...
10:17 at night. dark, about 63 degrees, no rain, and pleasant. love it here. Been on the SE coast...would never do it again unless forced to. Y'all can keep yur hurricanes! Been there, did that with Isabel...never again!. Love the magnolias, jasmine, dogwood, and pulled pork sandwiches though, not to mention the southern accents...just cannot handle the weather there.
Midwest are cpl
Is anyone out there from the midwest that can tell me the going cpl rate in Illinois area (NOT CHICAGO). I am starting my own MT business and I don't want my pricing to be too high or too low. I plan on using 65-character line, with spaces, free corrections, pick-up, and delivery. Any suggestion would be helpful.
Thank you midwest ;-) nm

For CURIOUS: You are not curious, you are paranoid and a sociopath
Are you referring to the sentence
'And HOW to you put a marker?'
where I typed a 't' instead of a 'd'?
It was just a TYPO!
I am an American MT!
It is so pitiful how PARANOID SOME American MTs have become, ESPECIALLY THE OLD ONES, fearing for their jobs and being afraid of getting the boot.
Trying to be 'expert linguists,' sniffing out various dialects, detecting some Indian hints, whereas they most probably live in rural areas or in cities with a population of 1,000 inhabitants.
So sad, so sad, what has become of the MTing profession?
Now, CURIOUS, start nitpicking my post.
I live in Midwest too. However, I
guess we have tornadoes but we don't get this much warning and certainly can't save our homes, etc.
I am so upset by so many of these storms this year. I feel so badly for these people. To lose everything like that. There is going to be a lot of depression in children and adults I am afraid.
I have a friend who will not move from Florida though she lived in Indiana most of her life. Her daughters worry about her down there alone.
Cold in the midwest too
I heard on the TV that Cedar Rapids (eastern IA) had temp of -17 with a wind chill of -30 this morning! BRR!
in midwest probably 11-12 is going rate BUT
since theyare in a bind and ESL, I would go for .13 gross lines forstandard 65 char line length. Then be sure to keep them happy and you will be all right.
My midwest company doing this now also.

I get 15 cents in the midwest.
:0)
anybody have any experience w/WahlTek in the midwest?
I'm thinking of taking on a 2nd job, and need to know LOTS more.
Radiology Editor wage for midwest
Although I am not a Radiology Editor, I am a Radiology Transcription Supervisor in the midwest (teaching hospital). I think QA/Editor positions should pay more, or at least the same as MT positions. I think $20-$22/hour is more in line with the job requirements.
Two of them are metro one Midwest and one East Coast so....
that means many, many physicians, probably hard to get used to them, probably teaching hospital, so many residents? Many ESL's??? Probably huh? Hmmmm. Scary!
Thank you so much for posting that. I just came on the board to look up the going rate for Midwest
and there you were! Thanks so much!!!

I have finished my MT course and I am waiting for my results, hopefully this week. I live near Glens Falls, New York, and was wondering if there was anyone here who was from my area. I would love to hear from anyone in the vicinity. Elsie
My New York relatives used to rag on me:
and say when I visited, "She's from Massatoothetts where they thay 'Pahk the cah in Havaad Yaad.' " (Note: My relatives have no teeth, hence the lisp.)
Cue the banjo's.
anyone from York, PA area? sm
i am looking for info on an OB/GYN named, Rosean Freundel. i can't find her on any of the MD websites. anyone have any contact info on her? she delivered my SIL's baby and she needs to request her records. she delivered at York Hospital about 2 years ago.
I LIVE IN NEW YORK, BUT...SM
right now work as a ful-time employee status. Do I understand your post to mean that I, as a New York resident, cannot work as IC if I chose to? Thx.

Stephanie from PA: I've been to York sm
to the H-D assembly plant a few years ago. Loved the area there and the proud people working for H-D. So sad to see the demise of the jobs in the PA steel mills and the loss of jobs in the American auto industry to foreign manufacturers. Very sad, indeed. I come from a manufacturing area, now virtually ghost towns with just service jobs left.

Sent It to New York Times and Associated Press
Send this or your own letter. Let us know if anyone gets a response.
No way, in New York or CA you can't live on $11.50 an hour.
I understand your message and get what you are saying; however, it is literally impossible to live on $11.50 an hour in those two states, and probably a few others. You can't even get a 1 bedroom studio apartment for less than $1500 a month, not including utilities, then food, clothing, and other bills. Sorry, can't do it.
Hi Ella! I'm from New York City
I grew up in NYC.. multicultural, diverse, many different neighborhoods. I love NYC . Rude New Yorkers are a stereotype. All kinds of people here. Visit it sometime.
Love your posts, though... ths is an MT board - active, retired, former, and anyone who's thinking about becoming one.
I was thinking more like Oklahoma, midwest, etc. Tons there and have plenty of family members who wo

okay, york hospital said they had delivery records, but no prenatal records. sm
they had no idea who she practiced with or anything like that and of course SIL doesn't know any name other than Freundel. i am also a midwife besides being an MT and in order for me to take her given her bicornuate uterus, i have to have her records. i guess delivery records is better than nothing, LOL, but i have to have her prenatal records. i wonder if there is a clinic there or something that med students rotate through. i couldn't even find ms. freundel on AMA, but she may not be through with her training yet either and that is probably why.
curious MT
Trust me you should hope that VR does not catch on too quickly! It is very intense work, and you get paid squat for doing it! And you still have to type either when the voice is not recognized, ie, as in when the dictators are residents and just coming in, and you get paid the measy sum to edit reports that require more transcription than editing, so far there is yet a formual to distinguish between this! So count your blessings that VR is not making its wave across Amercia with the MT's until everyone catches on to the fact that it is not "easy money" and we need to be paid exactly the same amount of money whether we transcribe or whether we do VR. Or the companpy uses some formula you need to be a rocket scientist to figure out! Whether for personal use or for business use VR still needs to go back in the closet from whence it came! Or the Nationals need to pay us a living wage to do the editing if the clients want VR. Then I'll be more than happy to offer my 20+ years experience up to do as much VR as they want. At the moment those of us that do VR are being grossly taken for granted and our knowledge and experience used without proper compensation, because we were not totally informed about the trials and tribulations of VR and just HOW much work it truly is.
Just curious
Did you contact the MT and try to find out what the problem might be? With a Q.A. score that low (unless you're a comma freak) :) there is no hope. Personally I hate doing Q.A. but I've done it. I recall one MT that had a really low Q.A. I talked to and asked how I might help. Turns out she was a clinic MT (BIG difference) hired to do acute care on, of course, a production basis. She was about to lose everything she owned trying to make it. She ended up moving back in with her parents for a time and today so far as I know, she's a great MT. She had potential, just lacked knowledge. I think Q.A. has to realize that less than qualified MTs are hired routinely and this is not their fault.
Just curious, but
...how would you know what your company has to pay? In my experience, turnaround penalties were known by the account managers and senior management. It's a contractual detail, not public knowledge or something to be shared with transcriptionists. Then again, maybe you are in contracts, or account management, or maybe you are the CFO or COO. However, if all of your accounts truly incur no penalties, you should be buying lotto tickets, and please share the numbers with all of your friends here on MT Stars.
And yes, I've been in account management and senior management. It's not a pretty place.
Just curious
ditto your thoughts!
Just curious, but how old are you?
I barely remember Beatles.
Just Curious
What is it that makes the job so difficult for someone with as much experience as you have as an MT? I have thought about making the switch myself, and was just wondering.
just curious
Why is that there are 3-5 pages of whining about MQ and having no work and only 5-6 hits to tips on how to improve skills. Why waste time writing these "open letters" and add to your Expanders or buy an Expander or ask for tips. No one, not even MQ, owes anyone anything. You have to make a way for yourself. 1200 lines per day is level I work. My goodness, get a grip. I think they are trying to tell you all something............They need production to stay AFLOAT.....May be the work is going to MTs who are grateful to have a job.
I'm curious too.
I've been with MQ for 2 months now but we have had them begging us for overtime, offering lots of incentives and stuff. We haven't even come close to running out.
I'll be waiting to see answers though!
Just curious
so, are you going to stop the fat and ugly stuff or not?
I would be curious to see if many SE's
opt for FT (or PT) employee status because of better benefits.
Benefits were not an issue for me, so it wouldn't be enticing to me but I would be curious as to how many would convert their status if a good enough benefit program was offered. (And what the "good enough" would be defined as for everyone.)
Just curious. Break's over.
Just curious
Where is this crazy Amherst office people are always complaining about?
Now Im curious
What is the condensed version of why people are quitting MQ? You guys could have your own board there is so much conversation! The rest of us seem mute. LOL
