I had a doctor on Friday night who gave a whole list of his plans for his elderly patient and then at the end said,  Rib fractures will be repeated.  Owie!!!

Funniest thing this week
Transcribing a report on an adult and in the past medical history doc states"the patient had SIDS as a child".  Thought perhaps this doc was a ghost whisperer!
HA! - funniest thing I heard all day! Thanx
ha!
OMG - that's the funniest thing I've ever read!

the strangest thing I ever typed
Was a home invasion involving a big, strong, grown man who got pummeled. I never open the door to anyone I do not know!
With mostly VR, those days are a thing
of the past, gladly!
I thought the same thing a couple days ago, but--sm
did not want to involve myself in a petty debate over who pays for whose insurance. My heartfelt sympathies to you and your family!!I hope your daughter is doing well.
ESL docs have got to be the funniest!
I have one who always says "patient lives alone at home by himself." Another one seems beyond being able to use correct medical terminology for bodily functions. All his patients "poop" and "pee." The kids also have "snotty noses."
How would you like to have been MT who typed
xx
I just found the FUNNIEST website! -(sm)-

It's called "Awkwardfamilyphotos.com".    Check out the Mullet-family and the Pooh-family.... I still can't hardly type, I'm laughing so hard!


 


 


I make around $50,000 but I work 7 days a week and long days, although I'm not a fast typer eithe
I think even if your fast, you'd still have to work more than 40 hours a week to make that but I could be wrong.
I remember those days too, but these days they don't want make any child felt left out. They wan
to make each of them feel special and that they have accomplished something.  My 8-year-old brings a certificate of some kind during the day, accelerated reader award, trustworthy award, jr. achievement award, etc.  I guess in a way, no one kid is pointed out as the "teacher's pet" or have the other kids being jealous of him/her for getting this or that award. 
Just typed this a few minutes ago...

She has not ever committed suicide, but it is on her mind.


Good grief!


OK, should add..as I typed that msg out of haste
That there are a LOT of people that I miss that haven't been on. Too bad we can't keep the rude ones away and bring back some of the wonderful ones. You can tell the regulars cuz they have their monikers and don't hide...those are the ones I miss.
Reminds me of a GYN report I typed
was in her 80's and thought she was reaching for the KY jelly on her nightstand, but grabbed body wash instead while she was making whoopee.  Poor thing had a terrible infection, hence her visit to the GYN.  I still have to commend her for having you know what, plus KY jelly!  Woohooooo!  What a night, she must of had!  Boy, did she pay for it in the end. 
No, but as an ortho MT, I have typed a bunch of them.
p
that ASR typed it as parents not parrots. (NM)

haha, re-read what I typed....
and I realized the part to the OP, the first sentence didn't make sense, I didn't back up far enough, haha. I'm tired, shhhh, lol. I meant to delete the part "I think if you have a health reason" and just start with "I don't think you can..." Hope that makes more sense.

On that note, I'm going to sleep, haha.
Y'all must not watch Funniest Home Videos as often as I do
... if you think hanging a pinata, blindfolding a child and handing him a stick is a good party idea, LOL.

Swing away!
Don't want you to feel bad!! You're our funniest "co-worker" LOL (sm)
How long have you been transcribing? I seem to know a lot of transcriptionists, including myself, who have had these types of symptoms. Doctor told me the same thing once - wonder if it is from lack of movement or constant computer exposure?
LOL! Oh really? A trauma pt not getting surgery because their wasn't a typed sm
report in the system? Either you are exaggerating a bit or the trauma doc is an idio**. Never, in all of my years, have I known a trauma doc to deny surgery or not perform surgery due to a simple note not being typed. Emergency care if emergency care and they WILL bypass dictations with a simple use of the telephone! The trauma surgeon, in that instance, would have phoned the doc to receive any and all information on the patient if he needed any to proceed with surgery. I WISH my life as an at-home MT now were that special or important!
Yikes! Sounds like one I typed just yesterday!
I've never wanted to become pregnant.
Oh you're kidding! Blazing Saddles is one of the funniest movies
And no, I'm not a guy.
Animal House, without a doubt, funniest movie of all time.
LOL
Sure is true. I thought I typed enough to bore you all to death!
Lots more in between the lines, but no matter, kids are back to their original school and I learned my lesson. We live 2 minutes from the school and I have them leave 20 minutes ahead of time. LOL. BTW: This school has a 5 minute late bell which is not tardy and a 15 minute tardy bell, so you see they understand about the 1 minute late thing. Well, diffrent strokes for different folks. I guess we are where we belong now. Thanks for listening and understanding :)
about 30 days, < 30 days pregnant (nm)

Days gone by
I'm right there with you. It is really scary out there today.

As far as the original post, while I know arrests of innocent people are made, I do find this story EXTREMELY hard to believe. True or not, though, you are right -- protection of your child is your first priority as a mother. Pornography is no longer just looking at naked ladies, it's just downright disgusting. I have two sons, 12 and 10, and I live in fear of what is out there that could hook them.
I have many days like that too :(
x
in a few days?.............no no no.....sm

The faster the better on these fraud things - your daughter is going to wait a few days?  This is VERY_BAD.


She should have already gotten a police report (takes 4 days to physically get it in her little hands) - and then she should have ALREADY called the bank to freeze her account, open another account.


BTW, my daughter had her purse stolen from my car - she called me immediately - I was on the phone with the bank, every credit card company, etc. (this was on a Sunday), and on Monday - I showed up at the bank and the perps got NOTHING.  Time is of the essence on these matters.


When my daughter first moved out of the house back in 1999, someone stole checks from her house/desk.  They got all her $$ which was $1400.  She went to the bank - and the bank, at first, didn't want to give her the $$ back - but in the end, they did !!!  All the $$.


Again, time is OF THE ESSENCE!  Hopefully, while I'm typing this, I'm thinking you are SURE to tell me that the bank was notified via phone when it happened.


*fingers crossed* 


 


Yes, it went away after three or four days.
As far as results, I am 45 with very fair skin. I did notice that my skin FELT nicer. It definitely felt smoother, and I thought I looked "brighter", if that makes any sense. It didn't actually erase any wrinkles, but then, I have to say that I don't have tons of wrinkles - great genetics. I have crinkle lines when I smile, but not wrinkles on my relaxed face. I still use Roc, but only about four times a week, and I'm always very careful about sunblock twice daily. (I like Neutrogena daily defense.)
Days
Do you think Sammy and EJ will get together?  I hope so.  Lucas is such a tool. 
One of those days
I think I am to the point where is someone were to offer me $100 I would take it and take my dog and two cats, leave and not look back.   Become homeless, no responsibilities or cares.   I know just a bad day and tomorrow will be better.   But at least I have somewhere to write this to make me feel better. 
I don't think so - these days (sm)
People work into their 70s and beyond, that mentality may have been more reasonable when people retired at 60.  Especially if what you want to go to school for is 4 years or less.  I actually know someone that finished medical school at 40 and then started into residency - not finishing until 6 years later (extra fellowship). 
Yes it is - in the old days with other
sick cats I used chicken baby food.  Sometimes mixed vitamin paste available OTC in with it but that changes taste considerably and syringed some in when they were really sick.  Baby food is not good for normal cats because it is high in fat but to get more calories in less food in a sick cat it always worked wonders for me.  I also mixed a little warm water in it.
My first 2 days were very fun.
The work is such a nice change, constantly moving. There are all these different greenhouses, and it's the slow time of year so I'm doing detail work like making signs. Today I culled out dead plants and entered them into inventory. I have come to terms with my golf cart; it is very useful when it's time to move the "deads" over to the compost heap and empty out the containers. Then I drive the containers over to the potting shed area. We all take lunch and breaks at the same time, and everybody is super nice. I have noticed they eat a lot of fruit and healthy foods for their snacks, and I brought in our leftover veggie tray from New Year's, and they were appreciative to share that with me today. They are very into their dogs and cats, and everybody has an interest in plants in common. I can ask questions about plants any time, whether it's work related or gardening related. I got to look at slides of live nematodes today. I am being taught to recognize pest attacks to report as I do my work. So it's all very active and satisfying for me.

Now if we can just get Bear up to speed. We chose not to crate Bear because it was a longer day with DH out of town. Bear did a little better, but did work on the ottoman a little more. I think we'll try crating him tomorrow, and I'm also eyeing a bottle of clonazepam I have on the counter! I know there are herbal things for dogs I can try also; I've just never had this problem before.
those were the days
I bet the stew cooked on the wood stove was great. . some of the old ways of cooking were tastier than they are now. . . when we had the ice storm a few years ago, my fiance said he fixed all kinds of food on his wood stove. . he was quite pleased with himself. .
Tried it for a few days
but just couldn't stand the taste of the soup any longer! I also didn't lose any wieght but didn't really have high expections either. I think if you have enough will power to try something like that, then just do Weight Watchers. I haven't done it myself but I've seen many people go through that program and it seems to be a heck of a lot healthier and better overall/long run instead of putting yourself on a liquid diet (because basically that's what you're doing with the Cabbage Soup Diet/Lemonade Diet, etc).

People are always looking for the quick & easy way to lose wieght (I won't deny it, myself included). Imagine if we put those efforts of looking for the shortcuts into actually following a real nutrition & exercise plan!
I will let you know. She says it may take a few days SM

to get back to me. I am concerned for them. I can image how she and her husband feel. I saw them today and she, especially is shaken by this. Thanks for caring.



Ever have one of those days
Ever have one of those days that you type and type and type and after 8 hours look and find you've only done 600-700 lines when usually you've done more.  Just am frustrated right now.  It's hot (102 degrees here), and I'm tired.  I'm tired, tired, tired.  I feel like I'm getting too old for this (only 48 years old but I feel like I'm 68).  Feels like I'm going to just wither and die in this chair.  My DH will walk out one day and find me and rigamortise will have set in and he'll have to unclamp my fingers from the keyboard.  Guess the heat is just getting to me and I'm tired.  Not so much the heat, I'm just tired.  Think I overslept.  I function good on 6 hours of sleep and last night I got 8 or so.  Oh well, in an hour or so I will be completed with my jobs and then will veg out in front of the TV eating something.  Oh yes....what an exciting life I lead here.  Okay, that's my venting of the day.  Thought I'd give everyone something different to read (although I'm sure a lot of you feel the same way). 
YEP - definitely having one of those days...
Guy i've been seeing for 6 months left his wife a couple of weeks ago (yay for me) and then he tells me this afternoon that he's got a girlfriend and that it's serious and that she's supposed to be leaving her husband so that the two of them could be happily ever after. Definitely broke my heart - have cried all night, the thought of food makes me sick at my stomach, then my air conditioning goes out on the house and I have to pay a repairman to come out at 8:30pm to fix it. Oh, think I forgot to mention that I'm also married but he won't deal with anything so I have to get things fixed, pay, etc. Definitely a wo is me kinda night! :(
I go every 2 to 3 days....
my hair is extremely thick and I don't need to shampoo every day, blessed to not have oily problems or dry scalp. I rotate between 3 Redken products, Color Extend, Smooth Down and All Soft, using both shampoo and conditioner. I'm about to try Pureology soon, have heard good things about the products.
Every 2-3 days would be all right...nm

These days
anyone should understand that it would be stupid for a woman (or anyone) to give strangers a ride like that. (I am meaning those young men should get that ... not saying you are stupid.)

It's unfortunate, but what can one do?

I think it's odd for anyone to ask in the first place. Most people have SOMEONE they could call.

Those people can sometimes get what they are after by catching someone off guard.

So sad that you had the normal response of feeling guilty and like you had to offer some sort of valid excuse. They were putting you in an uncomfortable and dangerous position ... and YOU felt guilty!

God would not put people in ridiculous positions like that (angels). He knows what our world is like!
Ever have one of those days!
Where your fingers just refuse to cooperate?  I am having one of those today!  Just seems like the signals don't get from my brain to my fingers like they are supposed to.  Misspelling words that are SO easy!
I am having one of those days right now...nm
ss
Yup, have too many of those days!
Thank God for spellcheckers!!!
You ever have one of those days ....???

I work on a clinic account - easy peasy and I love it.  I have one doctor who is from Croatia.  He tends to eat his lunch as he's dictating and he's always eating carrots or something very crunchy.  I've learned to work around that and rarely leave blanks.


Not today, though.  Boy howdy my ears were just not hearing what he was saying and I had to leave 5 blanks for QA!  I've never left that many blanks on this account.  Three of them I just flat out had no clue what he was saying and two I thought I had it, but didn't want to guess.


And he wasn't even eating his lunch when he dictated this!!!  Oy. That was my first report so far today.  Here's crossing my fingers that the rest of them go a little bit easier.


Maybe more caffeine.....................


I have had those days.....sm
I also have days where it seems like my fingers aren't in cooperation with my brain. LOL
One of these days you will be a sm
very lonely old lady! Life doesn't always work out like we plan and you are headed for a disaster lady. I have seen it happen all too many times.

If the man is smart (obviously he isn't) or gets wise, you are headed that way sooner than you know!
23, 26, and 28 -- I'm 35 now and some days

I don't know whether I'm coming or going.  Thank God I have the luxury of working from home as an SE -- setting my own hours to work around all their ball schedules.  Whew!  Some days I wish I would have waited until I was later in my 20s or even early 30s to start, but other days I'm glad I'll be done raising kids when I'm still young enough to enjoy my retirement and maybe grandchildren.  I can't imagine being a grandmother yet, though.  That seems so strange to call myself that. 


That's a lot to assume. Everyone has bad days.
Everyone shouldn't be so quick to judge!

Even though I'm not in the mood, I usually give my husband a smile or something. He usually just smiles and then leaves me alone. I think sometimes even if they aren't getting anything they still just want to feel wanted, ego boost, whatever you want to call it. :)
