A breast exam is mandatory for a driver's license??

Posted By: Janie on 2009-02-16
In Reply to: Do you even read? - MTTOMANY

I cannot imagine a state where it is mandatory for a young girl getting a driver's license to have a breast exam. That just sounds, as does the pressuring you state by the doctor for the cervical cancer shot, so farfetched to me that it is completely unbelievable. I read very well, thank you and am unbelieving of most of what you have posted. Sounds like not only are you stressed but you have some mania going on there.

What state requires a breast exam for a driver's license?!?!
nm
No, I doubt that a breast exam is included in the physical exam for a driver's licence..sm
Since when did they start to ask for a physical exanm to obtain a driver's licence?
This must be new, I never was subjected to a physical exam, only an eye exam.
That's weird.
No breast exam required in Tn and Ga for driver's or work
NM
A breast exam is required for a driver's permit in your state?
--some pervert state senator would dream up. What state do you live in? THAT I would be angry about.
My dog has a driver's license. sm
He loves to chase cars, but the high gas prices have forced him to get a job so he can continue.
They DON'T need you driver's license number.
Do not give anyone that number ever. Be smart with your private information. Never put your driver's license or SS# somewhere just because they have a line for it and that includes the doctor's office.
Okay -- so, was the breast exam for
the driver's license or the work permit????
Clarification - I did not mean breast exam sm
was required, only that an exam was required in NY for a minor to get a work permit. Personally, my kids have gone slightly over 12 months in between physical exams, and I was assuming that this girl's exam was probably overdue. Therefore, she was getting more than just a routine "Stick out your tongue, let me listen to your chest, you're okay to work" type of exam solely for the permit and instead had to have a more thorough exam. That being said, I don't care how old my daughter is, as long as she is a minor, I will be in the room with her during an exam. Same thing for my son.
Actually, I can REFUSE to have a breast exam done on
me by a doctor, and I always did. For me this procedure is much too intimate.

Zip Driver

You may try downloading new drivers for your zip drive. Sometimes when the driver goes bad it will generate that error.


Also you can do a search on the specific error you are getting.


Here is a copy of links I found. Hope they help.

A 16-YO driver

I just want opinions here...


My DD's best friend is 16...she got her license in July.  The BF has a 17-month-old brother that her mom allows her to drive around...I don't mean just around where we live, I mean on the highway...a very busy, main, 4 lane highway...


My question is, do y'all agree or disagree with this?  Do you think it's really, really dangerous and just too much of a risk to let this girl drive her baby brother around?


It's probably pretty apparent that I think it is absolutely crazy! It scares me so much when I know they are out running around in her car.  Is it just me or do y'all feel this way?


They have only had mandatory OT
once since I've been there, and they said to just let them know if you couldn't do it. I have never been hounded about my line count, and I'm more accurate than fast. I don't think those salary figures are so out of line for the stress and aggravation that must come with that job--there are managers making a lot more in other sectors. After one miserable month at TRS last year, this national has been a much better deal so far.
Mandatory OT
That is why I ended up leaving after 3 years. The OT gets old quick--BUT I think Amphion is probably one of the only MTSOs that pays true over time as in time and a half over 40 hours PLUS your lines, so it's something to think about. I do miss the money. I was on UW and not having to work any of the federal holidays or weekends was fantastic, but honestly, I wouldn't go back because of that darned overtime.
got cut off....2 different driver's licenses...
Really, I don't want to *judge* anyone's life - judge not lest ye be judged.....and all that....plus it's a rarity to find a *jury of one's peers* in this life (my opinion only)
Do you know where to find the driver for it? nm

Might be a driver problem, too. nm

You think being bus driver is easy? You never

mandatory evacuations
They did make it mandatory evacuations and they did open up the highway, both sides heading out of town.  We are all just sitting by watching and there is nothing any one can do, just wait for the destruction and heartache.
Mandatory OT?? Is this for FT and PT positions?? nm
s
You forgot to add that they have mandatory
OT and that they put you on the lowest line account they can. Given the choice between 120 lph and 300, they should put you on the 300, but they will not. Believe me, been here too long and getting ready to go.
Looked mandatory to me...
With PayPal popping up in there....that's not right!
That's optional, NOT mandatory! nm

Mandatory credentialing
Yes ADHI (AAMT) is working towards mandatory credentialing.  Anyone who sees that as a threat or joke,  probably should not be working as a transcriptionist.  Believe me the more education and professional development you gain- you will reap rewards.  They may or may not be monetary or happen overnight.  Sometimes it is more about professional development. 
Most don't pay and a lot of making it mandatory

A lot of companies are asking for this now and will not pay for it and will not let you work unless you have it.  Execuscribe and Transcend are 2 that I know for sure but I've heard that a lot more are doing it or thinking of doing it.


maybe corrupt print driver?

Hi,


If you are starting the fax process by printing to a fax printer, then chances are good the print driver has gotten corrupted. (Common with all print drivers.)


If this is the case, then (1) delete the fax-print driver from Control Panel | Printers and Faxes, and then (2) reinstall the print driver.


After install, send a test fax (not a real transcription) to see if the problem has been fixed.

I am a sub bus driver and make $15 an hour - sm
doing that, though I never know when I am working, waiting on a route....when that happens I will bring home about $1200 a month which will be nice on top of any MT work I do (still plan to do this but cut back some when I do finally get a route). So for now $60 for working 4 hours subbing for another driver, I can live with. Makes my life a little easier.
MT vs Bus driver? Give me a break

For heaven's sakes.  Did it ever occur to you that if you can't decide, however rhetorically, whether to be an MT or drive a bus that you don't belong in this profession? 


I'm SO TIRED OF LISTENING TO MTs complain.  If you don't have a passion for what you do, here's a tip:  DO SOMETHING ELSE! 


You don't develop a passion for something just because it pays enough!  There are a lot of facets to passion.  And if you're doing something you don't have a passion for you're wasting your life.


Why is the fact that you're not making enough money or you're underappreciated SOMEBODY ELSE'S FAULT!  It's YOUR fault. 


MQ mandatory code of ethics course?
Did anyone else get an email from Howard about all MQ employees taking a mandatory ethics course? Hmm...I thot I already WAS ethical....
In my state attendance isn't mandatory if they are 16, so
you can drop out of school at 16, though here they do make it so you can't get a driver's license until you're 18 or something like that as a consequence.  I don't know why he'd even bother going to school at all if he wasn't going more than that. 
Jury Duty Mandatory
Here in NYS jury duty is mandatory. You can get out of it once or twice, I believe, but then you have to go, they won't excuse you any more. Hopefully, your State is more lenient.
BIG difference between DONATIONS and mandatory
Time to visit the eye-doctor.
His mandatory EHR will hurt MT's. If you dont
nm
I agree totally, there should be a mandatory
course for 'how to dictate decently', lasting a whole semester! Also 1 semester for techhnical training 'how to keep my dictating equipment running smoothly!'

I am also getting into the habit of 'making up words', when REALLY in doubt I go and check online if this word exists, LOL !
Dimwit post regarding drunk driver
If nothing else, that should tell you what effects bad decisions have. If you read my post you would have gotten that I suffered but more importantly, my children did. Belive me, I'm not bitter. I am sorry that my children had to live without a father, but I am grateful that they learned about alcohol and loss of control. As for me, I supported my children very well, and we survived as a family and no one had to hang their head. I'm extremely grafteful that no innocent person was killed. And yes, I thought I could change an alcoholic. Bad choice. I'm willing to accept my bad choices, what's YOUR excuse for bad manners and you are also a DIMWit who probably "teaches" her children the right way to drink. What an assine post you put on the board. Anyone who has had a loved one killed by someone else's bad choice probably wouldn't appreciate your post, but I do. I appreciate the fact that you need help.
I'd think it would be long-haul truck driver or
long haul truck driver, depending on account specs and whether or not they use hyphens.
My boyfriend who is a school bus driver now makes more than me...
by $1.00 an hour. Only because they have a union, I guess, because the trend now would be to make them slave labor, as well....but their union holds on by a thread...

I have been an MT for over 14 years, started in the hospitals making what I make now, and am now working for a company (top of the line in the business) who says to stay competitive the MT pay has been cut. I was told to work more hours to make up the difference.

This is no longer a profession, and I think if we are suddenly required to be certified (which the AAMT is pushing very hard), I would highly contest this as I no longer consider myself a professional. We get paid only per line, lose our health benefits, if we do not work a required amount of hours, and are treated as laborers, not professionals.

Does anyone know, if any other 'professions' require certification for nonhourly positions, no guaranteed work, and no real long-term job security...

For myself, I can barely pay my rent now, there is no way I could afford a certification.

In other words, I would be expected to act as a professional, but would never ever be treated as one. I mean, what would WE get out of it?

Does anyone care anymore about people. When I first started working at 14, every job I ever had employees were always treated like they mattered...and were the heart of the job, the old 'we are nothing without the employees' - that is all thrown out like trash now and the mantra is we are nothing, we do not matter, we can be replaced, shut up and just do your work, your paycheck is your reward. What a bunch of crap and what a way to keep people down.

I was in shock when I saw my paycheck, and my boyfriend is making a whole dollar more an hour than I am...and that was a good, full 2 weeks of work for me, with the most lines I have typed since being with this company.

Can you imagine...
Another thing you might try, is reinstalling the driver for your USB port. SM
If you right click on your "My Computer" icon, click "Properties", then click on the "Hardware" tab.  Then click on the "Device Manager" button.  You'll see a list of all your hardware devices.  Find your USB devices and double click.  You'll see the button for reinstalling the driver.  Go from there and follow the steps.
Well it said there are no drivers or anything else and I have no idea about loading a driver.
It works fine in DQS so I dont know about this.  I guess I will just forget the job because it is a very long test and to do it with key controls is horrible.
Did you load the correct driver for the printer from the CD?

Well That's IT! Lifeguarding will be mandatory prior to being an MT! Hahahahah!
NM
I've been on mandatory overtime for over a week!
Yay! Love overtime.
Ok, the deal with running out of work isn't because of mandatory OT, it's
It's the big thing that a bunch of companies are jumping on.  Shameful.
Does your company pay for mandatory training/conferences?
Not as a new hire, but as a regular employee when they have a mandatory phone conference, or training for new platform, ASR, etc. ??



breast prostheses
It's McGhan style 68. Here is the link. Scroll down about 1/3 of the way down the page and you'll see it. Hope this helps.
breast biopsy
I had a breast biopsy a month ago (stereotactic), and for what ever reason, I'm still having pains underneath my breast where the incision was made, my question is, should this still be hurting ?  Also, can the marker they placed move ?  I know it sounds dumb but it just feels weird in the center of my chest.  Thanx for any help. 
Breast pump?
Can one of you younger women enlighten me about electronic breast pumps?  Today I was typing a report and heard the term for the first time.  Are hand pumps not used anymore?  This patient received an electronic breast pump from WIC.
Breast cancer
Does any one on this board know where I might find a sample report with regards to breast cancer?  Any tips greatly appreciated.  I want to be sure to get all of the stages ect. right on and though I have MT experience this is my first shot in the area of breast cancer clinics.
Breast Cancer
Thank you for your kind thoughts.  I was diagnosed with invasive ductal carcinoma.  I had a sterotactic biopsy last Wed.  I had one 4 years ago that was clean and assumed this one was too.  Yikes!! That didn't happen.  I was given an option of mastectomy or lumpectomy and radiation.  That's the good news, as the tumor is less than 5 cm.  I'm really scared.  I recently moved to Virginia (about 60 miles south of Roanoke) so I haven't made any friends and no close family nearby.  Luckily, I'm close enough to the local hospital and work at home to be able to go for the daily radiation treatments for 6 weeks.  Surgery is scheduled for next Friday and then the wait to find out if the cancer has spread, what type, the extent of the treatment, etc.  I really do appreciate everyone's kindness and prayers.  I will also buy a copy of the book tomorrow.  Also have a really good to reason to march with all the "pink" ladies now :-)  Bless you all for your kindness
Breast Cancer
Thank you so much for your words. Of course, I was so unprepared, and my world is not what it was 4 days ago. My only son is graduating from college on the west coast in mid June (I'm on the east coast) and it will be cutting it close to get my tired butt on a flight, but I'm determined to make it :-)
Breast discharge
I saw my doctor today for breast discharge, amber colored, from several ducts in the right breast. I am having a mammogram Friday. My doc did not feel any lumps. I am very nervous.

Has anyone had an experience similar to this and have some possibly reassuring words for me?

Thanking you all in advance.
