Twas the night before Christmas - legally speaking [2007-12-12]
This was given to me by one of my law professors. Thought it was cute -
Twas The Night Before Christmas, Legally Speaking Whereas, on or about the period between sunset and sunrise, especially the hours of darkness, prior to Christmas, there did occur at a certain improved piece of real property (hereinafter referred to as the House) a general lack of stirring by all creatures therein, including but not limited to, a small rodent of the family Mus musculus, characteristically having a pointed snout, small rounded ears, and a long naked or almost hairless tail. A variety of foot apparel, e.g., stocking, socks, etc., had been affixed by and around the chimney in said House in the hope and/or belief that St. Nick a/k/a/ St. Nicholas a/k/a/ Santa Claus (hereinafter referred to as Claus) would arrive at an unknown time thereafter. The minor residents, i.e., the children, of the aforementioned House were located in their individual and respective flat, rectangular frames containing a mattress resting on springs therein, and were engaged in nocturnal hallucinations, i.e., dreams, wherein vision of confectionery treats, including but not limited to, candies, nuts and/or sugar plums, did dance, cavort, and otherwise appear in said dreams. Whereupon the Party of the first Part (sometimes hereinafter referred to as I), being the joint-owner in fee simple of the House with the Party of the second Part (hereinafter referred to as Mamma), and said Mamma had retired for a sustained period of sleep. (At such time, the parties were clad in various forms of headgear appropriate for the nocturnal condition, e.g., kerchief and cap.) Suddenly, and without prior notice or warning, there did occur upon the unimproved real property adjacent and appurtenant to said House, i.e., the lawn, a certain disruption of unknown nature, cause, and/or circumstance. The Party of the first Part did immediately rush to a window in the House to investigate the cause of said disturbance. At that time, the Party of the first Part did observe, with some degree of wonder, amazement, and/or disbelief, a miniature sleigh (hereinafter referred to as the Vehicle) being pulled and/or drawn very rapidly through the air by approximately eight (8) hoofed ruminant mammals of the family Cervidae, characteristically having deciduous antlers (hereinafter referred to as reindeer). The driver of the Vehicle appeared to be and in fact was, the previously referenced Claus. Said Claus was providing specific direction, instruction, and guidance to the approximately eight (8) aforementioned reindeer and specifically identified the animal co-conspirators by name: Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner, and Blitzen (hereinafter the Deer). (Upon information and belief, it is further asserted that an additional co-conspirator named Rudolph may have been involved.) The Party of the first Part witnessed aforementioned Claus, the Vehicle, and the Deer intentionally and willfully trespass upon the roofs of several residences located adjacent to, and in the vicinity of, the House, and noted that the Vehicle was heavily laden with packages, toys, and other items of unknown origin or nature. Suddenly, without prior invitation or permission, either express or implied, the aforementioned Vehicle arrived at the House, and said Claus entered said House by way of the chimney. Said Claus was clad in a red fur suit, which was partially covered with residue from the chimney, and he carried a large sack containing a portion of the aforementioned packages, toys, and other unknown items. He was smoking what appeared to be dried leaves from the plant of the genus Nicotiana a/k/a tobacco in a small pipe in blatant violation of local ordinances and health regulations. Claus did not speak, but immediately began to fill the stocking of the minor children, which hung adjacent to the chimney, with toys and other small gifts. (Said items did not, however, constitute gifts to said minor pursuant to the applicable provisions of the United States Tax Code.) Upon completion of such task, said Claus touched the side of his nose and flew, rose, and/or ascended up the chimney of the House to the roof where the aforementioned Vehicle and Deer waited and/or served as lookouts. Claus immediately departed for an unknown destination. However, prior to the departure of said Vehicle, Deer, and Claus from said House, the Party of the first Part did hear Claus state and/or exclaim: Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night! Or words to that effect. --Anonymous
The MTs initials . . . [2008-09-01]
You're ok. The MT's initials don't have to be there.
The MT is not legally responsible for the content of the document-the physician is. Once he signs it, he's responsible.
Mind you, I'm not a lawyer, but you can see from the BOS that the initials aren't required. If there was a legal requirement, you would have heard lots about it before now. There would be a whole chunk of the law section of HIM texts devoted to it--and there isn't. If you WERE responsible, you would have to sign the report in ink (or electronically), and you don't see MTs doing that.
Your initials can be removed. If you provide the electronic file for him to print, he can change anything he wants. You can't be held responsible for what ends up in the record if what ends up there can be changed.
I wonder if he thinks that he'll save money by not having to pay for the extra characters?
Another possibility is that he doesn't want anyone to know you did his transcription. He might feel he needs to keep his options open in terms of fiddling with reports later, perhaps when he's trying to bill a higher level of service, get a denied claim paid, or if he needs to cover up a bad outcome. If your initials are all over his records, an investigator might know right where to go for copies of originals and testimony as to what you transcribed. :)
Being employee and IC? [2008-08-25]
I currently work for a facility that has bought another facility. I They would like to hire me as IC at the second. Is this legally possible or would I have to be one or the other seeing that both facilities are owned by one company?

Last hospital job I had, supervisor had relative also working under her. Even though my average line count was double anyone who worked there, and I worked the night shift,I was told that myself and the only other girl I worked with talked too much.
Thiswas the girl who helped me train my ear on the ESLs there, became my best friend, had no problem with me talking to her, or talking to me, had an awesome line count and accuracyherself, and left shortly after I did.
I left because the super and her SIL(can you saynepitism) ended up setting me up like a bowling pin.Jealousy is an ugly thing.
Now I like to imaginethose typesfighting amongst themselves. I spend my days getting the job done, while they spend their days conniving how to make someone who is getting the job done look bad.
What is amazing is that the most supposedly educated higher ups dondon
BTW, not long after I quit, everyone involved was fired including the super, director of MR, and head of Risk Management who also managed to get involved.The only one left was the SIL, instigator, trouble maker. Looks like she wrecked havoc on everyone around her, not just me.
If you have that much time to cause trouble, and complain about nothing, deflect attention from your lack, then you surely candoing your job!! I call them campaigners, probably should have gone into politics.
I You couldnIt was as bad as any Survivor episode I
