You know what Sandy? You can believe
it's true. I've been an MT for 25 years. I have lots of experience. I don't have to stop and look up much. Also, did you also take into consideration that the $30 to $40 is BEFORE taxes and WITHOUT benefits?
I have had my own accounts at 13 to 14 cpl and made $30 to $40 an hour quite easily. And then on the days when I had doctors dictating cataract extractions/lens implantations, which are routines and I just pop in right or left eye, I have made $60 an HOUR - YES, $60 AND HOUR. Not for the whole day, but for an hour or so, yes.
If you are so sure no one can make money doing MT, maybe you should find something else. Some MTs do not deserve $30 to $40 an hour because they are not good and they are not experienced. Some of us ARE good and experienced. Some of us have worked for 15 or 20 years to get where we are. If you are a relatively new MT, then you SHOULDN'T step right in and make what I'm making.
Thank you Sandy, that was just
SANDY FROM SOUTHSCRIBE
I warned this person that if he kept ignoring me, I would post here, as well as file complaints with the BBB, state governments, and the government agency which contracted his service to perform work I delivered. You would think he would choose NOT to ignore me after I advised him of my intentions. He chose instead not to send me a check (not much over $100), so I went ahead and filed my complaints.
Never fear, Sandy, because....
your little "problem" meeting TAT is quickly becoming solved with too much overstaffing, etc. among companies. This appears to be just YOUR problem. I would find it extremely hard to believe that an MT would deliberately try to undermine you by not working her committed work schedule. Goodness, all of this "craziness" because of one innocent question by Julia.
I do! And there was always a sandy spot on it sm
that would tear through the paper, and I'd have to start over. We weren't allowed to use White-Out or corrasable (sp) paper then.
I remember Sandy at the Tinley....(SM)
Park office. Or was it the Arlington Heights office? One of those. I worked from home in Wisconsin. Back in around 1996. Loved working for her and the company. It was the best company, the best equipment and the best software platform ever. Flexible hours. That was when the money was good and working was easy. They didn't get all hung up in format and nit-picky things.
Well, we can all rest now that Sandy will take care of MT education!
Ya see, Sandra -- She isn't out of touch if she's an MT. She's already working!! ROFL Despite your ominous warnings!!!
However - Please do post a copy of your diploma or certificate of Proper Education for all to see.
We now have a new authority, everyone! Sandra! Sandra will decide if you have had the proper education to be an MT.
I guess the rest of us are just lowly peon MTs who aren't really getting paid and who aren't really working because we never completed Sandy-Dandy's MT School of Proper Education!
Now THAT is hoot!!
We appreciate the laugh, Miss Sandra. Don't want to keep you from your educatin' us MTs in the proper format!
Sounds as preachy and obstinant as some others we've seen on here. Hmmmm.
Elizabeth...sm
please don't misunderstand what I am saying...yes I agree, it is very frustrating changing sup's (TC) all the time. Believe me, I've been w/MQ for over 4 years and have had at least six TCs!!! But, not once have I been personally contacted, e-mail or otherwise, by one of them. I always take it upon myself to just send a quick hello to the new TC, introduce myself, etc. Think of it this way, they have a couple hundred or so MTs to worry about, we only have one TC...just a thought! Anyways, enough about this subject...don't wanna ruffle any feathers! Have a wonderful day!
Way to go Elizabeth
:-)
Elizabeth
You are so right. I am wasting time and energy ruminating on this thing. I am just so frustrated. I honestly think I need to find another position, even though I hate leaving a place I have been at for 14-plus years. My husband and I sat down last night and had a good talk, and I have had a buttload of health problems since working for this place. What is funny, it is a mental health facility! Many of the employees and myself get a chuckle out of this, because the therapists/psychiatrists are always referring people for stress management, etc., and we are some of the most stressed people in the whole county. I am going to start looking!
Elizabeth New Jersey
my vote would be for Elizabeth
Vargas, the journalist. I know she has a job and is due to have a baby, but I think she would be a classy addition.
elizabeth, i'm with you 100% on this one. i don't know poster is but sounds like MQ manager.
Very telling as to how we are viewed by MQ is it not?
That's how Elizabeth Smart got kidnapped and raped
Do-gooder parents offering a home repair job to a loser they found sleeping out on the road or something. Can people really be this stupid?
Betsy - used to be my name till I legally changed to Elizabeth.

Saw him on CMT show with John Fogarty. Great, great singer with a neat personality and drop dead
gorgeous without seeming to know it.
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
Thanks to all. Got some great feedback and ecouragement. This board is great.
My rant passed, ate a late lunch, now back to the trenches.
GREAT GREAT SHOW! I still think Ellen Pompeo
should have gotten the Emmy/Golden Globe whatever it was for the show. I like Sandra Ho, her character just needs more depth... Next week looks AWESOME!! Maybe there is still a chance for McDreamy!! First season DVD coming out with deleted scenes! Can't wait to get it & watch it!!
It is a GREAT company and great deal! I've had
Vonage about 6 months now and I love it. The only mistake I made was trying to keep my original phone # - I wouldn't recommend that. You have a temp # for a while, and the other provider can fight for the old #, etc. Go to vonage. com. They have new features all the time! There is even a new soft phone that is a phone on your screen. You don't need a real phone when working - just headset. It has 800 #s you can have very inexpensively - great voice mail. You get emails when you have new messages, etc. I only wish I had used them a year ago! Nothing but good things to say, and I complain about everything!
Sounds like he will do great then. Again, best wishes for great success!

That's great Patti. Thanks. Have a great time at the beach.

You should feel great as a transcriptionist if they think your work is that great!!!
It is not your fault they approached you. I think it would be a different storey if you were the one searching for the job to take away from a company. They obviously want to get rid of the company and if you didn't take the job they would probably ask someone else. You should enjoy the better position and not feel guilty!!
Great post -great job of wording your answer! (sm)
Original poster - I completely agree with this answer, especially the part about finding yourself and using all that you have learned intellectually and connecting that to something that you will also enjoy with your heart!! You have so many wonderful options for your future - much more than many of us.
IT - great program, great support system. nm

Thanks for all the great advice! You guys are great!

Great job
Hi, I'm interested in finding somewhere flexibile also as I have a little one at home. I'm interested in radiology only. If the place you work for has openings in this specialty could you let me know?? Thanks!
That's great!
I think sometimes people think you are trying to "replace" the dog that died. It's not replace at all, it just helps fill the void. Just like you can never replace a person, you can't replace a pet. They each have their own special place in your heart. Adjustment period - I KNOW!! But it works out. Good luck with your new baby.
great - thanks for this
I've been looking for something like this. Now I have it.
Wow--that's great! Thank you so much
for info
That's great! I like that! Put that right at the
edge of town so noone can hear us scream!
Being an MT is great. Though like with
any job there are going to be issues. If you work in an office, you have to put up with all the crap that goes with it. If you work at home, you don't have to read these boards. There are a lot of negative people in the world, mostly on here! You will have bad days but overall the good will outweigh the bad. I have been an MT for 15 years, 11 of which I have been at home. I have tried going back to an office setting, several times, but have never been happy. I come back home to work and things are fine for a while until the job starts to suck but I get over it. I have children but they go to preschool/school. They do not stay home with me unless they are sick, have a snow day or a short school break. During the summer, they attend camps and preschool. This is not a job to get into to stay home with children. It is a career as an MT, not a daycare provider.
I'd say go for it. You will get out of it what you put into it, like everything else in life! Good luck to you.
GREAT JOB!
I am glad to hear that it worked out -- an IC MT's worst nightmare (I have always had that fear). And extra pay to boot!
Sorry, but not my man. I have a great
husband. We have been married for 23 years. I know he doesn't cheat because he is home every day right after work, calls if he is going to be late, never goes to bars and works his butt off for our family. I'm not saying there haven't been issues but the good in him far outweighs the bad!
You might try giving it another shot. Not all men are scum!
You all are great!

Great
Good for you. Now you need to set your sister straight. I would be so mad at my sister if she did that..I just dont know if I could ever talk to her again, at least not for a long while till she *grew up*. So happy it turned out right for you.
Great help, thanks

great pay
Sounds like the hospital I worked for in Florida. We made 18.00 an hour plus 8 cents per line over so many per day which gave us a bonus of around 1500.00 monthly. Those were the days!
Great TL
I must say, my TL is a gem. Of course, everyone else in management bites the big one but my TL is fair and honest. She has to walk a thin line between keeping her team members happy and letting management think she is totally one of them, but she manages to pull it off.
That is so great to know...thanks! nm

Pay is great.
Don't know about others, but just today in two hours I've made $200 - of course THE best dictator is working today so that is not the norm - but my account pays quite well (per report). I started doing radiology when I worked in a hospital - they "made" everyone do it, so thats how I got my start. When Medquist hired me 8 years ago they automatically put me on radiology - initially I didn't want to for some reason - but now I'm glad I did! Don't look for voice rec takeover just yet - radiology is THE most important department most places and they are VERY picky about stuff - I'd say we radiology MT's still have many good years ahead (but then I could be totally fooled and cryin' the blues in a year or two).
Now its back to the fray - still have 6 hrs. to go and hoping "Dr. Wonderful" stays on the entire rest of my shift!
that was great! nm
Thanks so much!!:) Great to be here:)
nm
This was great!
Thanks!
MDI is great
I think MDI is a great company to work for. There is always work to be done, always other accounts to work on if I run out or the account is slow (which is not too often). I was a team leader at one time, but I got caught on a tough account that expected the impossible. Things have improved with the account and I would be willing to try it again. While I was TL, I was always available for the team 24/7. If you have a problem with getting in touch with your TL, call Deb or even Liz (as she is always stating on this board). There is no sense in you not being happy with your job. I really could not ask for a better company!
I use theirs and it is great.
Extremely easy to use and to add to.
Wow-Great job! Thanks. nm

Sam-e is really great!!nm
