Well, good morning "Frank" are you counting your piles of money?

In Reply to: I am sure you guys are right, - LOLOL
penned in at the moment because of unethical practices of MQ,
but in essence you have "given" us to your competition. Your competition may have
been weakened by your siphoning off of MTs to work for MQ for a while
mostly because you became a monopoly, but with all the manpower
going to your broken competition and hospitals who are tired of being
manipulated with smoke and mirror business, see how good your name smells in
the medical field in about a year.
The resumes are flying like kites out there right now, can you see them?
Those are not clouds in your coffee those are your livelihood in the medical
field going up up up and away.
Enjoy your card game now. I think the slight of hand way of doing business
has just about seen its day.
Any company that cannot ever give how a line is counted and show
the method an MT is paid - so that the MT can double check her "billing" is
not an ethical institution. We don't work for the suprise we get in the bank at the end of 2 weeks of chasing work around your company, we work for the
money. We are business people just like you. You, MQ, would not do business without a clear contract and yet you have expected MTs to
work on a line count that is by YOUR FORMULA which you can't share! How insane is that?

Outsourcing topic on Good Morning America this morning....

It's easy but about 1/2 good, 1/2 bad as to the line counting. May posts if you

GOOD MORNING!
Let's here some positive thoughts for the day, okay? I like my job (Not love because I'd rather not have to work at all)! I have worked at some nice offices and not so nice offices but this is the best. My own! (Finally finished office after adding on 4 years ago) Sure, I have bad days when I really don't feel like working or the phone rings 100 times a day or DH or kids need this or that every 5 minutes but for the most part where could I work with no one breathing down my neck or I can get up and get a drink of water or go to the bathroom without having to tell someone that I'm doing it and still get paid twice I would be making if I was still in-house.
Come on! Let's here positive things and encourage each other today! (I am not slamming any complainers because I am one also, just want some positive input today)
I love this board!
Good Morning
We are soon going to convert to electronic medical records. I am still going to transcribe reports for the doctor. If I work from home and the doctor wants me to type straight in to electronic medical records system- how is that going to work? Will I still be able to do it from my computer or will doctor have to purchase laptop?????
Thanks
Good Morning!
I hope you all have a fantastic and productive week!
Thanks for the good morning laugh! LOL. nm

Good Morning America
They teach the people in the call centers in India that 35=10 - meaning that a 35 year old from the U.S. has the I.Q. equivalent of a 10-year-old Indian. Indian tutors that teach American kids over the internet say that a 9th and 10th grader from the U.S. is the equivalent of a 7th grader from India. South Africa and Bulgaria will be the wave of the future for outsourcing. I am just horrified at all this.
good morning fellow MTs
Does anyone have a used C phone for sale. E-mailed a few people on board who said they had one but have not heard back from either one. Thank's in advance....
Line counting software - Need a good program. Have used MPCount in the past, but now
cannot download the old one, as it has been replaced by some new version, which I don't like. Can anyone recommende a good line counting program. Thanks.
I have a Lab that INSISTS on her morning walk. Good for her,

didn't see it but Good Morning America
supposedly has someone who did a series on work at home jobs for women and she included MT - if you go to the GMA website you can see - apparently she is the only one still considering this a viable option. You can email John Stossel at 20/20. I think (from the response I got from the people I sent it to) that most people aren't aware this is happening and even doctors have not considered the implications of HIPAA (I mean really - they said we could no longer transport tapes from an office) and identity theft. I got some responses that internet petitions are worthless - but my whole point was just making people aware of the problems - not just to save my job - but the much bigger picture. Candidates should be aware of the taxes that are lost, too.
About ABC Good Morning America in Mumbai
As a person of strong faith, I don't believe in vengence or discrimination; however, with all our work going to India this has changed me. I look at the opulence, Bollywood excess, etc and think; okay we have slums right here in the USA. We have people who ARE WILLING to work now for even slave wages. And just like India we have those who live in opulence with disregard for the poverty in front of their eyes.
My point, help me not be so darn angry every time I here the word India!! I know it is not right. I am a peaceful person.
Re: Good Morning America - man outsourcing his life
If Good Morning America hasn't been on yet in your area, about 45 minutes into the show Diane interviews a man who is outsourcing his life to India, from ordering groceries to reading bedtime stories to their son...OMG. Can it get any more pathetic than that? He says he contacted a few places and one quoted him $400 a month, while another $1000 a month. He even outsourced a argument with his wife. The woman in India apologized for him and sent her a card with hugs. If he were my hubby, I'd find a way to outsource my foot to implant it in his behind.
What next????
Good money? Can we ask how much is considered GOOD in your books????
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Morning baby, morning adult. Kids born at 11:30AM (both) are night owls, however. Go figure! :) nm

Very good...very good answer. Right on the money! (nm)

looking for GOOD money
Are there ANY companies out there who will pay you what you are worth? I've got 5+ years experience and only getting 7 to 8.5 cpl offered. It's not a question of whether or not my work is good or bad, it is definitely good. I have read where so many of you are making much more money than that and I would like to know WHERE to find such a job? I would even be happy getting paid by the hour at this point (if it's enough that is). I simply want paid what I'm worth for all my hard work! TIA!!!
Good money
You say you have 5+ years experience-- how would you like to be making that after 25+ years???? I would like to know where to find such a job as well.
good money
Well, I worked 60-70 hrs per week last year, with 2 weeks vacay and made 113,000+ - in my eyes radiology IS the best paying.
That's definitely good money. I wish I could make that much.
I'm making about $1,400 a MONTH working 25-30 hours per week. ESLs, run out of work often, lousy platform. What's the point any more? I definitely need to pick up some local accounts and never work for another national.
Oh man....that is NOT good...how do you make any money?
Four. And they make very good money.
But I get your point. But you asked!
Depends on what you think good money is too : )

I think good money is 50K a year.

Oh, but I make really good money
so I did not understand where this was coming from. You see, I have no children at home, only 2 of us, no bills, I only work part because that is all I want but still bring home about $1500.00 every 2 weeks, so no need to feel sorry. I said I type fast.
Any money is good today sm
Take what you can to make ends meet and then switch when a better offer comes along, just don't burn bridges. Watch Jim Cramer, he says work at the Dollar Store if you can. I believe this will pass myself, just hang in there!
LOL and you call that good money?
I used to make really good money.
Anywhere from $28-50 per hour. Same few dictators, lots of templates and Expander usage, pay averaged out to be $.12 per line. I only wanted to work part-time, but the company would have worked me full-time. One particular doctor was so easy, I could do 400+ lph for him. He only had maybe an hour of work per day. Voice recognition has my job now. I've been unemployed for the past six months. But 537 lph consistently? I don't know about that. It would have to be the same pool of dictators and the MT's expander stats would have to be HIGH!
I would please like to know how you make good money at it.
Would you care to share your cents-per-line and lines-per-hour with us? Roughly?
It would help alleviate the anxiety about it for some of us if we can hear from the horse's mouth (no insult intended) how this can be a good living for us. Especially when there are so many things to slow us down like ESLs and poor dictators and bad sound.
Thank you.
Ok, maybe I should just stay in bed LOL How about "every morning" not everyone morning. Wow. C
K-Mart managers...Good money! Yes!
You have GOT to be kidding. I don't know about TODAY'S wages, but K-Mart, (or Safeway or Target, etc)managers USED to make GREAT money!! Yes, they DO prefer a 4-year business degree. These are/were not low paying jobs. Minus the business degree, one would have to play "work up" and it could take 20+ years to get up that high. The pay was about 4-6 times higher than a beginning school teacher last I knew.
Professional escort - money is good.
Is it possible to make good money working for someone else?
.
I think that is all attitude. I make very good money at MT.
35,500 a year is darn good money to me!!!!!
n/m
I knew they made good money...
I used to work for Kaiser in California. I really wanted to get on with the transcription department but there was NEVER an opening. I really miss working for Kaiser. I have not been able to find a hospital like that since I left. I now live in GA. The Kaiser here is not the same -- much smaller operation here. But I knew it, I knew it!

I can make good money without overtime
I posted below but when I saw your post and it said crap- I type mostly VR and I work 8 hour days 4 days a week. I make at least $160.00 per day- add that up if I worked full 40 hour week or lordy if I worked overtime like years gone by. I get paid no more because of my years of doing this- work for national- the pay is low but I am fast. I just wanted to make about the same as when I worked in the office and set my goals accordingly.
I do VR, love it, make good money at it
and I have no idea why people who do not do, have not done, don’t plan on doing talk so much against it.
Money, money, money, mmonnneyyy. Singing the Apprentice song.
:+
Depending on who you work for.... you can make good money
I usually average between $15-25 an hour doing VR. That is enough for me. I think it helps if you have companies that pay for footers, headers, spaces etc.. Good luck.
I have been around awhile, and will last making good money as long as this field does.

I make very good money at home with a small MTSO
Can you make good money with radiology? I'm thinking of switching
nm
bless your heart for thinking $10-12/hour is good money - nm

They make darn good money at most large grocery stores
No, I don't tip them. If I thought they weren't getting paid hourly, then I might. I might tip someone who gave extra great service, like coming home and carrying them in the house for me, (j/k!) but most places where you are expected to tip, people just expect the tip and take it for granted anymore and don't always treat you well enough to deserve one!
My dad owns a dental lab - GOOD money, steady work, very tedious though

Well actually it is a good business practice as far as saving money for share holders is concerned.
Why would a company pay for individuals who need health insurance, benefits, minimum wage, etc when they can ship work out of the country for half as much as is necessary to pay US worker. Not that it's a good thing for us, just that this is the way it is.
How about your local community college and save a heap of money & get just as good of an education?
I love procedures, colonscopes, EGDs, cardiac caths - this stuff earns me the good money, ESL or no!
Also LOVE LOVE ESCRIPTION and make good money but...
Can I ask how you sit there for 8 hours. Lately, I'm having a motivation problem. When I focus, I can rack up the lines, but lately, I get so easily distracted. My mind wanders and I struggle to get my lines. Any tips on how you stay productive who do you work for?? I work for Transcend.
Make money? I'm not making any money because of my decision. You read my reasoning
You can agree with me or not, but don't make false assumptions please.
