Owned for years
It is possible to own a home and I have owned 4 in the past 8 years. What I would do if your not sure (its advice my dad gave me many years ago) is try to buy something that would have payments in the range that you would have to pay if you paid rent. Then you know you can afford it. Either way, you have to live somewhere, whether it be renting or buying. Then once you find it easy to make those payments in a few years, you can sell and buy something a little bigger and nicer. Just a little advice that has helped me in the past. Hope it helps!
No. Owned by a woman.

Have you ever owned a laptop?
The single biggest selling feature of a laptop is that they are...wait for it...portable. So much the same way I don't leave any valuable laying on the table when I go to the bathroom, my very portable laptop goes in with me. When I am in what I feel a safe, secure, environment to leave it at the table/desk, I time it so I am not in the middle of a report and close the lid, thereby requiring the password to get back into it. It does not require a degree in IT to take safety precautions.
nope - OWNED BY FRANCE AND....sm
American Hospital in Paris is owned and run by the French...........they named it when they were still liking us.........*LOL*
MT Co owned by Hospital corp.?

How many MT companies are owned by hospital corporations or the hospital corp have a piece of MT companies?  I ask this because some hospitals are only allowed to use certain MT companies.   Is this a way of keeping wages down and/or them getting more $?  Isn't there some kind of rule where doctors can't refer patient to a facility that they have part ownership of. Shouldn't this apply also?


Just wondering


ForuMatrix is owned by MTStars. (SM)

If you have complaints about ForuMatrix or about how MTStars is operating, etc., address them via e-mail to the Administrator (admin@mtstars.com) or myself (goldbird@mtstars.com).


Thank you,

Indian owned companies... sm
Have you ever worked for one? I have. All the easy work goes to India. The junk comes to the US-based MTs. I worked there for 2 years until I could take no more. Should have walked out on training. If you want an Indian-based company so badly, go for it. I can tell you first hand, though, you will eventually regret it. No offense intended, but I have lived it and will NEVER work for an Indian-owned company again, even if I have to leave transcription and go back to the office, God forbid!

We are a small, family-owned

company with all MTs and most management being ICs.  There are only a handful of people in management and there are no bonuses for them.  I personally work here because it's an amazing place to work - nothing else.  We'd simply like to have a small reward for quarterly reviews to encourage accuracy.  That's it.  No hidden agenda or big, mean corporate people. 


Thanks for your response, though!


That's right, not American owned anymore.

YES IT IS OWNED BY A PAKISTANI DOCTOR. HE OR
SOME ONE ELSE KEEPS DELETING THE POSTS. I WILL KEEP AT IT THOUGH. GO TO MTSTARS.NET FOR ANSWERS.
No it hasn't. It's still owned by Ahmed

The money is owned no matter what you are
the question was whether you are employee or IC as very different approaches would be made to recover $$
I would worry about them on any puter owned by a company

The MEDIA is owned by 5 mega corporations
and they have an agenda almost if not more devious than certain politicians...

Remember the MEDIA is owned by FOR-PROFIT corporations. Corporations like this have a LEGAL responsibility to make as much money as possible for shareholders. What does that mean? It means they choose sensational garbage over substance to "report" - and in the case of this so-called war, they BENEFIT the reads PROFIT directly and indirectly, so they purposely censor the information that gets in the way of true public awareness.

If ANYone sincerely believes the media is our friend, they have not done their homework. Don't take my word for it: Google "who owns the media" and see any number of studies showing WHICH corporations own the major news corporation.

GE make "bring good things to life" BUT they ALSO make bombs (WMD) - AND they own NBC. Connect the dots yourself, and consider asking your reps in Congress for legislation to clean up the media.

Yes, there are crack reporters who are DYING to report the truth, but they are EDITED out by their supervisors who follow the agenda of the corporate bosses.

The facts are out there if you look for them.
Yes, not only are they Indian owned & offshore, they are horribly rude.

My experience with quality/quantity and an Indian owned company.
I worked for an offshore owned company where it was all about quantity.  Company even kept a HORRIBLE MT just because she cranked out the lines.  Didn't matter her quality was crap and was considered a joke by middle managment.  India did most typing but with US edit.  Typists changed regularly so it wasn't like they learned to do better.  Quality would improve slightly and then would notice, after couple of months, that quality was crap again so we knew we were dealing with a new batch of typists. Even so, the push was always on to get the jobs off US edit and send Indian work straight to client.  Of course, the clients never knew they were not getting US editing anymore, as they got no price reduction when they no longer had that level of work being done on their jobs.  The problem is the facilities accept the crap work so why should the companies change.  It took a while but I finally found a US owned company where quality matters.  Now one of the first questions I would ask a prospective employer is if they are US owned.
I have a desktop Dell and it has been alright so far, but I've never owned a laptop.
What brand are you currently using then?
I've owned cheaper chairs and learned the hard way.

The old saying that you get what you pay for is true when it comes to these cheap chairs! My back always hurt and I was having to buy a new chair at least yearly. You do the math; I've already had the $1000 chair five years and I quit having the backaches five years ago. This chair is no where close to wearing out and will last me at least another five years, probably more. So, if you think that spending $200 every year on a cheap chair is worth it, you go right ahead; I didn't hear anything but thanks for the OP for my suggestion.


Is Terra Nova owned by a guy that lives on the border of Maine/Canada? - sm
If so, this guy is a snake. He was willing to pay $0.14/line for the Kaleida account just temporarily until he could get his lines set up to offshore. He told me that on the phone!!!
So then this board is now owned by Dr. Zeshan Ahmed from Pakistan? Do I understand you correctly?
So this is NOT AN AMERICAN BOARD ANYMORE?
Florida
Tampa General Hospital took somewhere around 60 patients this weekend, Pasco county has opened homes and a woman who runs a homeless shelter in Spring Hill has made 2 trips to NO to bring back people, all of whom have eventually been placed in homes. Not to change the subject but I have seen a lot of complaints on the board in the past about Wal Mart - I just read in the paper some of the things they have done for the victims - a 20 million dollar cash donation, they had 45 truckloads of food ready to disperse before Katrina even hit landfall, plus numerous other things, sending 150 internet ready computers to the shelters for the evacuees to find their lost ones.
MDI in Florida

Just changing back to radiology from oncology and I am looking into companies.  MDI Florida is hiring radiology transcriptionists.  Any information would be helpful.  I know they have a web site but I would like to hear from the people.  Do they have good benefits?  How about scheduling and accounts?  Do they pay or help out with the long distance phone calls?  Good management? 


MQ in Florida
Does anyone know what Medquist offices are still operational in Florida?
Florida
I'm not sure about most nationals but I can speak from experience about my company that I work for, I moved to Florida and my pay did not increase. One good thing about Florida is that you do not have to pay state tax, so you get that extra amount on your check every month. Housing (especially buying) has skyrocketed in Florida in the last year or so. As for the schools, I can only speak for the district I was in but I think you can go to fldoe.org and look for information on that. Sorry I couldnt help with any more. Good luck!

Guess the wildfires and possible evacuations are good practice for the upcoming hurricane season!
Why not Florida?
This was a fantasy.  I personally don't have anything against Florida, but I seem to recall reading a help wanted ad for a company located in Florida which indicated that it would only hire MTs that lived in certain states, for whatever reason, good or bad.  For the other three states that I mentioned, I included those because of bad experiences with companies in those states.

Bonuses at MDI Florida?
I have read that MDI Florida gives bonuses for employees that go the extra mile.  I have been there over two years and work hard but have not seen a bonus yet.  Do they given them out often or at all?  They forgot us for transcription week and do not so anything for birthdays so it would be nice to get something out of it all. 
what part of Florida are you in
because it shouldn't really affect your work, if you have a working computer and electricity, you should be able to get work.
