Sounds Delicious
I need to get myself a magic stove. That sounds so good. We went out for Chinese this afternoon and for dinner we're having steak, noodles and corn
Sounds Delicious
Thank you. It sounds very yummy.
that sounds delicious!
How much ice cream & milk do you use? Do you use chocolate syrup? Can't wait to try it!
That sounds absolutely delicious

OK, sounds good, but doesn't it need liquid to

sounds delicious! gonna give it a try...

Thanks so much - sounds delicious and easy - having it tomorrow night

mL is used for liquid measures, cc is
used for solid measurements (cubic centimeters, such as path specimens).   Which is correct for measurement of air? 
Liquid Diet
My brother-in-law lost a lot of weight doing a liquid diet (not sure for how long, though), but he gained most of his weight back.
Delicious
That sounds absolutely delicious. I love German Chocolate Cake so this sounds like something I'd love.
the turkey produces its own liquid...
if you add chicken broth, be sure to only add a little- like 1/2 a cup.
Get some liquid Benadryl in him quickly and
People can develop allgeries suddenly and for no apparent reason and it's much easier to deal with when you have your senses about you than wake up in the middle of the night to the sound of his gasping for air!
Have you thought of liquid diet? - sm
I found a great site a few years ago, liquiddietdiscussion.com and they sell something similar to Optifast though it tastes a million times better and is cheaper. I have done NS too. I have about a 2 month supply of both right now, and think I may do a liquid diet for months then transition to the Nutri-Systems for return to real food part and to train myself how to eat right. I have about 70 pounds to lose too to get down to my proper weight, though some of it may be from a medical problem (waiting on blood work now, will know on Friday), but figure in order to get a quick result a liquid diet for 1 to 2 months should give me the jumpstart I need and hack off at least 40 pounds in 2 months if not more. Check it out and discuss it with you doctor. Good luck.
Liquid diet for 1 to 2 months?!
I don't think I could do it for 1 to 2 days, let alone that long?!
You are very welcome..it was so easy and so delicious and
the kids actually LOVED it (which is amazing), i figured that HAD to be shared. Told all my friends about it as well. I had found a book at the checkout (LOL) with slow cooker recipes. There are some REALLY good ones in there. Next one i try, i will post if it is good!
hey, do you take liquid or powder creamer in your coffee?

I have that too, I call it liquid gold, it is SO expensive.
My pharmacy charges $65 for a 2 inch tube of it, but it does work well. 
DS told me that is delicious, but is it year around?
nm
International Delight French Vanilla liquid nm

Okay, these sound weird, but inexpensive and delicious!!!
I rememember having these as a kid when money was tight and I make them still for my family once in a while because we love them! All you need: Regular white bread. Ketchup (yes I know!). Thin sliced Swiss cheese. Garlic powder, oregano. To make: Very Lightly toast bread. Spread with thin layer of ketchup. Sprinkle on garlic powder and oregano (to your taste). Place 1-2 slices of Swiss cheese on top. Bake in toaster oven/or regular oven on low heat just until cheese begins to melt. They are really delicious and kids love them and have fun making them!
I took delicious pleasure in telling them to kiss my tail-end. nm

Does anyone have a sample

Here's a sample

Here's what part of one of my Autotext entries looks like.  It has fields in it that I can just jump to by pressing F11.


OBJECTIVE: Height: {x} feet {x} inches.  Weight: {x}. Temperature: {x}.  Blood pressure: {x}.  Pulse: {x}.


On your menu bar in Word, just go to Insert-->Field-->then choose which you want.  Personally, I just choose the one labeled Comments but then I change the "formula" part (will show up in gray, this particular one says "COMMENTS   * MERGEFORMAT" in it) to just an X so that Word doesn't automatically insert something I don't need. It's like a placeholder for me.


I'm sure you can customize it even more but this is sufficient enough for me right now.


 


Sample reports............sm

YES....  www.mtbot.com


Just type surgical reports (or whatever you're looking for) in the search engine.  There are tons of reports in there.

SPECIMEN:



  1. Left breast biopsy
  2. Apical axillary tissue
  3. Contents of left radical mastectomy

GROSS DESCRIPTION:


Part #1 is labeled "left breast biopsy" and is received fresh after frozen section preparation. It consists of a single very firm nodularity measuring 3 cm in circular diameter and 1.5 cm in thickness, surrounded by adherent fibrofatty tissue. On section a pale gray, slightly mottled appearance is revealed. Numerous sections are submitted for permanent processing.


Part #2 is labeled "apical left axillary tissue" and is received fresh. It consists of two amorphous fibrofatty tissue masses without grossly discernible lymph nodes therein. Both pieces are rendered into numerous sections and submitted in their entirety for histology.


Part #3 is labeled "contents of left radical mastectomy" and is received fresh. It consists of a large ellipse of skin overlying breast tissue, the ellipse measuring 20 cm in length and 14 cm in height. A freshly sutured incision extends 3 cm directly lateral from the areola, corresponding to the closure for removal of part #1. Abundant amounts of fibrofatty connective tissue surround the entire breast, and the deep aspect includes an 8 cm length of pectoralis minor and a generous mass of overlying pectoralis major muscle. Incision from the deepest aspect of the specimen beneath the tumor mass reveals tumor extension grossly to within 0.5 cm of muscle. Sections are submitted according to the following code: DE - deep surgical resection margins; SU, LA, INF, ME - full thickness radial respectively; NI - nipple and subjacent tissue. Lymph nodes dissected free from axillary fibrofatty tissue from levels I, II, and III will be labeled accordingly.


MICROSCOPIC:


Sections of part #1 confirm frozen section diagnosis of infiltrating duct carcinoma. It is to be noted that the tumor cells show considerable pleomorphism, and mitotic figures are frequent (as many as 4 per high power field). Many foci of calcification are present within the tumor.


Part #2 consists of fibrofatty tissue and a single tiny lymph node free of disease.


Part #3 includes 18 lymph nodes, three from Level III, two from Level II and thirteen from Level I. All lymph nodes are free of disease with the exception of one Level I lymph node which contains several masses of metastatic carcinoma.


All sections taken radially from the superficial center of the resection site fail to include tumor, indicating the tumor to have originated deep within the breast parenchyma. Similarly, there is no malignancy in the nipple region, or in the lactiferous sinuses.


Sections of deep surgical margin demonstrate diffuse tumor infiltration of deep fatty tissues, however, there is no invasion of muscle. Total size of primary tumor is estimated to be 4 cm in greatest dimension.


DIAGNOSIS:



1. Infiltrating duct carcinoma, left breast.
2. Metastatic carcinoma, left axillary lymph node (1), Level I.
3. Lymph nodes, no pathologic diagnosis, left axilla, Level I (12), Level II (2), Level III (3).

I found this the below link quite helpful, particularly sample contract 2.

Best wishes.


I show them a sample
for example, when doing a proposal, I show them the industry standard, 65 char line.  I then take a pretty full page of transcription at Courier with 1 inch margins, and show them, for example, it is 80 lines at 11 cents per line, $8.80. Then I reformat the same exact report into their format, say Franklin bold condensed, and then it comes out to 46 lines. But the report is "worth" $8.80 and so the MT should make $8.80. And in order for her to be paid correctly, then $8.80 divided by 46 = 19 cpl for THEIR lines. So it's not 19 cents per line, it's 19 cents per THEIR line. When I bill, I bill it at 3560 lines at 19 cents per line and then underneath I put in Italics (Your line rate is 11 cents per line, it converts to 19 cents per line for condensed lines) or something to that effect...otherwise they forget their line rate is 11 cents per line.
here's a sample count
I created a large file with a batch of different op reports. The total # of pages was 2150.

I used Abacus to count the file. Here are the figures:

Total Lines (with spaces): 60,195

Tota Lines (without spaces): 50,760

Let's do the math at 9 cpl:
60,195 x 0.09 = $5,417.55
50,760 x 0.09 = $4,568.40
Difference: $849.15

You would need to bill $0.1067 cpl without spaces to make the same amount you would earn without spaces.

I feel that the only exception would be if you're a statutory employee. If that is the situation then you're only paying 50% of the SS tax, as opposed ot an independent contractor who pays 100% of it. If that is the case, then 9 cpl without spaces ain't all that bad.
There are some sample contracts on
www.medword.com.  Google "Transcription contracts".  You can cut and paste into a word document.  You are probably better off charging per line.  Going rate is anywhere from 13-17 cpl depending on where you are located.

The parties named herein desire a contractual business arrangement regarding the transcription of medical dictation and hereby agree:


1) Supplies provided to the Subcontractor by the Contractor that are a necessary requirement for the completion of work must be ordered by the Subcontractor from the Contractor or Contractor's client in a timely fashion such that the Subcontractor will not be without said necessities.


2) The Subcontractor is responsible for any supplies and equipment necessary to perform the contracted work. Furthermore, the Subcontractor is responsible for the upkeep of any machines or other equipment required to complete work and shall not let machines or equipment fall into disrepair, thereby affecting the Subcontractor's ability to perform work in the agreed manner and time.


3) The Subcontractor may only communicate with the Contractor's client in matters regarding the actual work of transcribing dictation for said client and may not communicate with said client regarding any matters concerning billing, pricing, or any other matter not pertaining to said work. In all communication with the Contractor's client, the Subcontractor shall identify themselves as agents of the Contractor and may not identify themselves as independent agents having their own business.


4) The Subcontractor agrees that patient and client confidentiality are of utmost importance. No work performed by the Subcontractor for the Contractor may be disposed of without first shredding said documents. The Subcontractor will set-up files and directories on computer(s) in such a way as to prevent unauthorized viewing, deleting, or copying. Said computer(s) will also be configured to prevent unauthorized use and will also employ security devices to prevent theft of said computer(s). No work shall be sent from the computer without it first being encrypted using a minimum of 128 bit encryption. No patient or client names will be stored by the Subcontractor in any form of database for use after termination of this contract. Regular back-ups of Contractor's Clients' work will be made in order not to forever lose the transcribed work.


5) Payment to the Subcontractor by the Contractor will be for completed work only. Payment will be made on a per-line basis at a rate of 0.__ per line with said line being 65 characters per line. Rush order payments will be the per-line rate plus 15% of the per-line rate. Any monetary penalties for late work imposed by the Contractor's client will be passed-on to the Subcontractor responsible for completion of that client's work, if the Subcontractor is responsible for said late work. The Subcontractor will have special labels on-hand at all times, of the type specified by the Contractor, should labels be required as part of completing work. The Subcontractor shall purchase these labels.


6) Invoices for payment for completed work must be submitted to the Contractor on the 14th (fourteenth) and 28th (twenty-eighth) day of each month. The Subcontractor must provide a separate invoice for each of the Contractor's clients with proof of work performed. The Contractor will pay the Subcontractor within 7 (seven) days of the Contractor being paid by the Contractor's client, except for weekends, holidays, and Acts of God.


7) Upon dissolution of this agreement, for whatever reason, machines, supplies, or equipment loaned to the Subcontractor by the Contractor, or the Contractor's client, must be returned to the Contractor or the replacement cost of said machines, supplies, or equipment will be deducted from outstanding monies owed by the Contractor to the Subcontractor. Should outstanding monies be insufficient to replace said unreturned machines, equipment, or supplies, the Contractor may still seek satisfaction under local laws and statutes of the Contractor's business domicile, or Subcontractor's business domicile, at the discretion of the Contractor.


8) At no time within 2 (two) years of termination of this contract may the Subcontractor approach or perform work for the Contractor's client in any form or manner, unless dealing with the Contractor as an agent. The Subcontractor may not accept any offer of work made by a Contractor's client, nor offer to provide services to a Contractor's client, either directly or by any other method or means, intended or unintended, that would disguise the client's identity, the Subcontractor's identity or would somehow obfuscate the relationship. No such relationship, including the Subcontractor working through or with another subcontractor, shall be allowed.


9) The contractor's name, logo, trade-mark or trade-marks, letterhead, and any other intellectual property of the Contractor shall remain exclusively as the Contractor's. The Subcontractor may only make use of these properties when acting as an agent of the Contractor.

10) The Contractor and Subcontractor must give written notice of at least 14 (fourteen) days of their desire to dissolve this contract. All outstanding work, finished work, loaned equipment, machines, or supplies, must be returned by the Subcontractor on the last day or prior to the last day of this notice. Within the life of the notice period, the Subcontractor is still bound to perform in accordance with this contract. Any substandard performance or inability to complete Contractor's clients' work by the Subcontractor in a timely fashion may result in the Contractor waving the notice period to save the Contractor's good business name. Any costs associated with premature dissolution of this contract in this regard may be deducted from the Subcontractor's final payment.


11) Breach of any part of this contract could result in the termination of this contract by the Contractor without notice to the Subcontractor. All normal clauses pertaining to dissolution of this agreement would then come into effect.


12) The Contractor reserves the right while under contract with the Subcontractor, and without formal notice, and without any explanation, to change or remove the Contractor's clients for whom the Subcontractor is performing work.


13) The Contractor cannot guarantee the quantity of work to be sent to the Subcontractor. The Subcontractor understands that the Subcontractor/Contractor relationship may depend in whole or in part on the relationship between the Contractor and the Contractor's client and understands fully therefore that loss of the client's work to the Contractor will be regarded by both parties as good and sufficient reason to thereby terminate the contract between the Contractor and Subcontractor.


The Subcontractor, ______________________________, agrees to honor and completely understands this contract, as confirmed with the Subcontractor's signature below.
