Yes, she has a medical condition

shaking, quivering and twitching. Paris is afraid to go to jail that is it. Greta's take is a bit much. Greta keeps saying she has a medical problem. She needs Xanax or something. She will calm down soon. She was not quivering or shaking in her backyard hugging her parents. PLEASE.

Sheppard she has "Extreme bratititis". FUNNY.

Now PARIS PARADE she is off to jail now.

Me, too. Thank you for posting about that condition.
I've always had larger dogs and had no idea such a thing existed. Hopefully it will help someone learn about the condition.
I have had the condition for years now
and my T4 was showing up as normal but then I had a really indepth test done (cannot call the name right now) but it showed a value that was off the chart so the answer to your question is a definite yes, happened with me.
if you want to keep the car in good running condition. nm

Loneliness is part of the human condition. Learn to embrace it
It is inevitable that for the first year, you will feel drawn back to what you are familiar with (Stockholm syndrome?). But, try to relish in the peace in the house and create a routine that includes some pampering. When my thoughts turn to feeling isolated being single, I read books, garden, watch T.V., go shopping or go for a walk.

Since you have kids, they will be a pleasant distraction.

There is hope in me but deep down I have to realize at 48, that I am not good at relationships, attracting men like your husband with addictions or personality characteristics that are difficult to deal with (immaturity).

It seems that being alone with occasional bouts of loneliess is preferable to a relationship in which I have to be the adult.
Been there, done that. When I went into the medical
field, I knew I would have to work some holidays. It's not AS bad when I can work from home. I consider jobs in the medical field emergent jobs and knew that working holidays came with the territory. I never thought I would see the day when grocery stores would be open on major holidays, though. Oh well, at least I still have my husband around to celebrate the holidays with and I realize there are some women who have lost husband or children and would give just about anything to have them back. I am blessed beyond measure and I realize that. It's just that this is the first time he has ever had to work on Christmas Day.
are you trying to say that medical
transcriptionist's don't work? what is your point here???? Go away.
I'd probably do it if it is medical. nm

She is probably a medical transcriptionist
.
Are you prescribed that for a medical
condition or just take it to stay awake. I am just curious...not judging, lol.
Well, sometimes there is a medical issue
as there is here, not just eating and eating for no reason at all. Was always trim and slim until this but thanks anyway for the curt note.
I would think only if there are other serious medical issues
related to the alcoholism. It probably has to be pretty severe. That's sad.
Does she have medical issues? sm
That may help in knowing where to look. Good luck to you!
wonder if there is a medical reason?
might ought to know the reason before the remedy.
Have medical causes been ruled out?
Not sure if it could be thyroid or lupus or what, but hair can indicate certain things.

You might want to get the People's Pharmacy book. It is full of inexpensive solutions for problems like that.

Does your dad have any medical problems. .
Your dad sounds like my dad. My dad was so negative that I just couldn't be around him. My dad would never go to the doctor. He was severely depressed and lost a lot of weight. He died a few years ago from CAD and was terribly anemic. It was sad because he died all alone, and he was only 55. My stepmother had left him. He could have gone to local VA and get free medical care. I begged him many times to get help. I know how frustrating it is to try and help your parents when they have no desire to help themselves. I hope your dad is healthy, but has he had a physical lately?
Medical Bills

I just finished my chemo and radiation for breast cancer.  I have health insurance but found out that they only pay 80%.  I have become overwhelmed with hospital bills.  Does anybody know if those companies are on the up and up, that say that they can help you cut your medical bills ? 


Thanx for any help.

Medical marijuana use

I just watched an unsettling video about a young high school student diagnosed with cancer.  Had to have his leg amputated and he had excrutiating pain that kept him awake through the night for about 3 months.  Doctors kept giving him narcotic drugs and he was doped up/sleeping all the time.  He started receiving medical marijuana (in a controlled clinic) and it helped.  He said he would be able to function during the day and get his stuff done.  He regained his appetite and was able to build his muscle tissue back up (mind you this is not some dope addict - this is a clean cut high school student who used to play on the football team, definitely not someone who is going in just to get their "fix").  Anyway...this medical clinic was set up in California and evidently the person in charge of the police department of the town didn't like it because "he believed it does not work".  So he called the DEA, they went in and raided the place and threw the doc in charge of the clinic on the floor handcuffed him and hauled him off to jail.  Evidently the clinic was approved, they show pics of the doctor in charge of the clinic shaking hands with the mayor and being welcomed to the city.  Well after they raided his office they then went to his home and raided his home.  Now this doctor is facing possibly 100 years in jail (all because some uptight police person in charge does not believe medical marijuana works and he is against it.  The parents even said "what part of this don't they understand.  Medical marijuana helps.  It rejuvinates the brain cells, brings back hunger so cancer patients and others with serious illness will be able to eat and get better and not be suffering with pain.  No instead they want to dispense drugs by the pharmaceutical companies that are killing people and keeping them comatose.  It just makes me sick that this form of treatment is not being allowed for more people who need it (not just want it to get high - but actually need it).  This is why we need to get rid of big government.  Give the power back to the people where it belongs.


You should get a medical opinion
just to be safe. I have Bell's palsy that flares up every now and them. The first time I had it, I had a "full" feeling on the left side of my face with numbness and tingling, and my left eye was twitching like mad and the center of my tongue was numb for several days.  The following afternoon, it was full blown.  My mom is a massage therapist and she said that having a vigrous or deep tissue massage can definitely get blood flowing and so this may be a side effect of that, but to definitely seek a medical opinion just to be safe.  Good luck!
I get this from the medical profession, too -
My family doc respects my knowledge, but heaven forbid I say something medical if I have to take my daughter to the ER! They look at me like I have two heads, then continue to talk in monosyllables.
medical info
I do not think it is polite to disclose your sex life details or inquire into others.

You are either a predator or a transcriptionist, either way, you should be able to find info on the web.
With those medical problems, someone
My Mom had non-ESL doctors and still couldn't understand because most older people are not aware of "medical terms."  I wish your friend well, but there is some responsibility on the patient's part to voice their concern on whether or not they would like treatment and to let the physicians know when they do not understand.  My PCP has an accent and I like him a lot, but if I don't catch what he's saying, then he will repeat it!  No brainer!  Lots of luck to the OP and friend!  I hope she gets what she needs in a timely fashion now that you're in the picture!
There's already a story about FF's medical
records being leaked in the past by an administrative assistant at UCLA. The first time around, she was suspicious about a leak. When the relapse was diagnosed, she told NO ONE, just to see what happened, and 3 or 4 days later it was all over the tabloids.

If ever there was a time to bring it up to whoever will listen that maybe MJ's & FF's most current records aren't being offshored, but what about previously? What about other famous individuals? This is a good opportunity to let the country know that their medical privacy is NOT guaranteed as long as US medical records can be sent out of the country to be processed.

I agree about the medical issues...sm
obviously none of these responders have a thyroid condition, which makes it nearly impossible to lose weight, no matter how little you eat. I eat once a day. and it is not a huge meal either, or fast food, but a regular sized, non fat, meal. I have not lost weight in over 10 years, and sometimes gain weight if I do happen to indulge on a sweet item once in a while. I have done a lot of investigating on this and I have found there is an additive to 95% of all american food items called HFCS, high frutose corn syrup. Start reading labels and you will see that it is in almost everything! It is an artificial sweetener, just like most people who posted say they avoid. You cannot avoid it. It is in everything and it is the main item responsible for all obesity in the US!!! It fools your body into thinking it is still hungry when you are not. It keeps you *addicted* to food and you actually feel hungrier after eating it. Believe it or not, our own government WANTS us to be obese, so we continue to go to the doctors with high blood pressure, diabetes, high choleterol, etc., so they can give us more medications, which are worse than any disease we can get. Do some investigating like I have, and you will learn that being overweight is not because we overeat, but because of what we are being force fed. This makes me so angry I could spit! I hardly eat anything and continue to gain weight because my thyroid is shot, due to this artificial drug they have put into all our food. I hate being fat! But after searching for SOME kind of nutritional food that does not have this in it, I have given up. My weight is not my fault, but my own government who would prefer to keep me sick in order to get money. Think about it. This is just my experiences and my opinions, and I don't need any flaming arguments. do your own research on this and you will see I am right. JMO

It is a MEDICAL procedure. I suppose
spaying is mutilation to you too, right? I don't know if vets tell people....but they remove their ovaries for that. The horror!

If you don't want it done to your cat, don't do it, but leave others alone that need/want to have this done!
release of medical records

Wknds are the toughest at any hosp.     


Considering your FIL has had a stroke, who's his proxy?.... he can't sign for himself....Someone has to run down to medical records and sign a release for ALL the medical records pertaining to the dates in question......ER, HP, procedures, consults, progress notes,  labs, anything you can think of ...You are entitled to a free copy and it will be sent to your home address within a week.      


Docs at the new hosp may be able to access records over the internet as a course of professional courtesy.   Hope he recovers soon.              


How the medical economy works

You obviously do not understand how the medical economy works (smiles and winks).  Docs love seeing patients once a year when they already know whats wrong (usually not much).  It's easy money just like it is when we get a standard dictation.  Since insurance will pay for it, they order all kinds of lab tests and maybe some imaging - you know, screening just in case - so they don't actually have to take the time to ask you if something is bothering you or listen to what you tell them.  That takes too much time, and time is money.  This also keeps the labs and imaging services in business (some of which the docs have invested in).  When it comes to drugs, they do not want you using the old tried and true.  That sucker is off patent and can be bought cheap and sometimes OTC with no prescription and office visit required.  No, they want to give you the latest thing that is still on patent and costs a bundle.  That's medical planned obsolescence, maybe because the docs invest in the drug companies, too.


If you remember the names of the other creams that have worked, you could try running them past a pharmacist.  He/She should be able to tell you if any are available OTC.

I agree, if it is medical, I would do it even if it meant(sm)

paying something else late.  I could not tell my child, bio, non-bio, raised or not raised, no when they are ill.


Called another medical office....
to ask a question and the secretary said "I'm at lunch right now, can I call you back when I am done?" I think that is very unprofessional. If you are at lunch, then I think one should either not answer the phone or put it in voicemail mode!
Medical Ethics Question.

You are a doctor. You have an 80-year-old patient with stage 4 cancer, who has just finished radiation treatments. The patient is on Medicare. You (the doctor) know of a new drug that "might" slow the cancer, but it has not been approved by Medicare yet, and the cost is $1000 per week.


Do you recommend this drug to this patient's family?


My husband has some serious medical issues,
those being diabetes and hypertension but having said this he is always on the hunt for the new and improved solutions to give assistance with these. He not only takes his medications as prescribed, he carries around a myriad of supplements, herbs, what have you, eats healthy (no fast food for him) and tries to maintain himself in the best shape possible. I raised 2 children, don’t have another one here, have a real man.
Excuse me...a little medical knowledge..sm
The IUD prevents any ovum from implanting, including a blighted or fertilized ovum. Sheesh.
This should be required for every U.S. medical school
(along with the mandatory course on "how to dictate").

This is so amazing on so many levels, I don't even know where to start.

Yes, I do know how to read and I know from experience about this medical issue
as my own granddaughter born with it. Please don't just assume things. She is now 15 and has traveled with me in a closed car for long distances and gone on many trips out of town and never this problem. I think she would be horrified to pass gas in front of others, but then she was brought up correctly. This is why the kids do what they do now days, because parents do not have the backbone to call them down about it and just want to fuss at the schools. Who, pray tells, wants to be in a classroom with boys and girls both doing this? Do you? If there is a medical condition (although I know of none) then I would advise the parents to try to find something to ease this because a child, if reared correctly, would absolutely be horrified doing this around their peers. Apparently there is more than just 1 person doing this- why would a school say they were going to put rules in effect. All you have to do is pay attention. Not just 1 student doing, more than 1, dear. If the parents would get off their duffs and try disciplining and putting down rules and regulations, this would not be brought up in the school system. People now are scared of their own children. Pitiful!!!
Er, how about this dude from Harvard Medical school?

I had a medical ethics class a year ago and
The topic was centered around how far we should go with reproductive assistance.

After examining the issue, discussing implications, and much thought and my own soul searching, I made a big change of mind.

I decided to change my position to being against any reproductive technique that does not allow a couple to become pregnant through natural means. No artificial insemination. No saving eggs or sperm for later implantation. Only surgery or techniques performed on an individual that allow them to procreate in a natural manner.

So much was involved with the decision on my stance and it was a difficult one because I know people personally that this would affect. I guess that is why we have varying opinions.

Scorching topic.

LOL - sounds like medical transcription in nutshell! nm

I don't think medical bills can go on your credit report
Even though they referred you to a collection agency, I don't think medical bills can be reported on credit report.

Medical Leave Question & Health Benefits

I need to go on medical leave. Unfortunately due to my company's size it doesn't qualify for the paid leave provisions.


I can deal with no income for a while, but if I lose my health insurance I can't do it, it would almost better to quit and have COBRA benefits. Does anyone know if companies are required to continue benefits even if they don't have to provide paid leave?


Lots of times you encounter medical assistants
They have varying levels of education (depending on the state) and are generally less expensive to pay than a nurse, even an LPN. The LPNs and RNs are all credentialed personnel that should really know those abbreviations.

A person who represents himself or herself as a nurse who is not actually a nurse is committing a crime.
Medical transcriptionist melts keyboard with fingertips

Ryan sez, "We have a medical Transcriptionist on staff who has been using the same keyboard for the last 8.5 years. My co-worker replaced it yesterday, and when he first showed it to me I thought someone had taken a blowtorch to it! The most frequently used keys have been completely worn through, exposing the mechanism beneath. Zoom in and check out the indentation on the Backspace key! The keyboard still works fine, so there's something to be said for durability. BTW, it's a NMB Technologies model RT2358TW."



Some people are hard on keyboards -- I tend the blow the contacts on the left side of the board really fast, knocking out the Ctrl, Alt and left side of the spacebar. Charlie Stross's keyboards lose their lettering in mere months, and my pal Seth Schoen types like a machinegun, but I've never noticed any particular wear on his keyboards.


Transcription dept. supervisor at a medical clinic.

Give me a break. We are in medical records. I am not a trauma surgeon nor am I sm
an RN or even an LPN. I am on the administrative side for a reason. I originally went to college 3-1/2 years, to be a medical technologist (working in-house in a lab), and during those grueling 8:00 classes and labs all day, every day, I chose to get into the administrative part of medicine. So, you don't have to tell me about this being 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. I know all about the 24-hour healthcare industry. I also did my intern at a 24-hour urgent care center, again, showing me that I DID NOT want to, nor could I, be available for someone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

I know it is a privelege to work for him and I work Saturday AND Sunday. Tell me, as a manager, do you work every weekend?
Hayseed, you're the ERMA BOMBECK of medical transcription!
