Actually it is the height of human

Posted By: arrogance to think we can't....sm on 2005-09-21
In Reply to: The earth is a dynamic thing, and to think that WE can influence it all that much is IMO - rather silly of us. History is full of disasters.

We are poisoning the earth and ourselves. Nature is amazing in her resilience, but do you know how long it takes the ecosystem to recover from fires and floods? Did you know that fire retardant has been found in human breast milk? What about the amount of pesticides and chemicals in the bloodstreams of infants and children? Denial is the only thing scarier than that. Do the research, it will open your eyes.

Call human resources. I called human resources about it. Sooner or later they will get tired of the
calls and do something about it. Safety in numbers. I have called twice. I forgot to mention the assinine QA point plan though. Mostly I bitched about the no work thing. Told them the new pay plan based on incentive is another joke with no work. Cant make incentive with no work.
height of desk
But aren't most hotel desks sort of high? That is what I was wondering.  It does seem like a convenient options.  My husband travels a lot, and once the kids are both in college, I would like to start going with him some. 
chair height
Yes, I have a chair with adjustable height.  I have not tried moving it up or down yet.  Just tried working today with a firm pillow under my right arm.  I have a wireless keyboard and mouse to I am not hitting the keys hard at all.  I am noticing when I type, my left arm is extended straight out for the most part, but my right elbow is angle a bit out to the right.  When I type I can feel the muscles working up and down my right arm, so I know this must be causing friction on my elbow.  I am applying IcyHot as often as I can and that does seem to help, plus flexing my arm as much as I can in between typing.  It hurts right on the bone of my elbow, even to touch it.......so sore!!!
My PT recommended changing the height sm
and the position of the chair a few times a day, getting up and walking around q hour, etc. Sitting for prolonged periods as we do causes us to "freeze" and get into trouble with aches and pains. It really does help to move around a bit.


Height of hurricane season is Aug-Oct. (SM)
A friend booked a FL vacation during September. Told her don't do it.  She still did.  She had to cancel the entire vacation and "could not believe a hurricane hit."  I always told family/friends to never go anywhere in the Atlantic, Gulf, FL, islands during hurricane season but they book it anyway because it's cheaper, then they complain about hurricanes ruined their plans.  DUH!
Do you have a chair that you can adjust the height? nm

Keyboard height issues

It seems my keyboard is just a bit too high (or my chair is just a bit too low), as I am developing wrist extensor problems and ending up with a weak right hand, making it difficult to type.  (I have been massaging it, but can't keep on top of it.)


I tried putting the keyboard on my lap, which really helped my arms but caused more trouble with my legs (I have circulatory problems in my legs).  I also tried sitting on a pillow to boost me up higher, which, for some reason, also caused more trouble with my legs.


I have my keyboard on a tray below my desk and my chair at the highest it can go. - Any other ideas out there?  (Can't afford one of those cool desks where you can sort of recline and no husband to rig up something for me.) 


Thanks for any tips! 


baking powder or soda for height...nm

Human? - sm
To err is human...to scam is criminal....and she will be brought up on charges this time, I will make sure of it.
You must not be a human being.
If you knew a patient's life was in danger you would not be at all concerned?
that is verbatim. QAs are only human too. nm
 
Human responses?

Yes, I think it's human nature

I agree with you. We are ALL human...nm.

Human nature

People generally don't talk about how happy they are on a regular basis. They tend to want to talk to others when something is bothering them, and focus more on the negative. So I guess it makes sense that you don't see a lot of posts that say "Ladeedah, how I love my job and what a stupendous day it is in the transcription world today!" The job is just a means to a happier life, not the definition of a happy life.


Personally, I feel honored that I am in this profession.  Not because of the money or the skill and intelligence that it requires, but primarily because it allows me to be home with my daughter instead of shipping her off to daycare every day for some stranger to screw up. That is why I will deal with the lack of raises, crappy dictators, periodic lack of work, mgmt that is too overworked to care, etc. To be with my baby all the time and still bring in a paycheck, however meager it may be.


They believe ASR is human transcription?

They were all probably told that is why the work is over there and they have to fix our stuff, that way it boosts their egos. 


I still believe it is the other way around.  OH...our ignorant minds.


Yes, we are all human BUT my post isn't going to part...

DeVenture & Human Rights
You may want to check out the Bangor Daily News online State page for August 7 of this week. President, Michael Deville was found liable for employee discrimination. Sounds like a great place to work. In addition, that manager you are speaking of most likely has no backbone when it comes to standing up when it's require of her.
You are probably more upset than the doctors will be. They might act tough, but they are human too.

I'm with you, we're all still human beings operating these
It doesnt hurt to say a few words on behalf on someone at the other end.  If you don't have that within yourself, and you don't need it in return, you're a cold and lost person. 
ENFJ here, miss human contact
working at home.
No, I like to feel human thank you. I wear my jeans or better.
I am not the type who wants to go around sloppily all day. It makes all the difference in your outlook as to how you dress and your personality.
Nice job by calling it. Docs are human too.

Its human nature to impose on other people whats right for yourself!

Even when its not asked for.  Maybe some people like to surround themselves with nonsense and chaos, where as I like peace and quiet!  I think people who like working with other people are either pretending or just plain crazy! 


sorry, you are assigning human logic/emotions to animals...
seal mothers do not go nearly insane with fear and pain as they watch their babies being clubbed to death in front of them. - you've got to be kidding. Animals are incapable of the complexities of logic and emotion to get to that conclusion. If you want something to be frantic about, go to Africa and see the abandoned newborn infants piled in chicken wire crates in the hospital. Let's get priorities in order and no, a boy is not a dog or a pig or a rat.


You're human. Blanks happen. Should never be penalized for them. nm

Sorry. I am human and I make mistakes like everyone else. Obviously I meant "two." nm

I'd love to agree, but I can't. I do think some doctors are aware a human being is transcribi
for them, but I think it is far from the majority. 
When I worked for a vet. guy had dog allergy tested and dog was allergic to human dander. No kidding

The people proofing are human. Humans make mistakes daily.

I wouldn't take a position that docked for errors. We're all human, not infallible.

Anyone know higher-up contact names at Dept. of Health and Human Services..sm
this is who created HIPAA. Anyone willing to email or write any of these people in regard to these offshoring issues and how the doctors should be required to inform the patient when their medical information is leaving the country in order to be transcribed. HIPAA was created with privacy and protection as its main purpose, but ironically once the work leaves the country, this means nothing. The Dept. of Health and Human Services (HIPAA) needs to step up and do the right thing here in the best interest of our country's citizens, while preserving many U.S. transcriptionists who will lose their jobs if no changes are made.

Never said people didn't have typos we are all human BUT the mistakes I stated were NOT typos

I probably QA where you work..hmmmmm


So tell us about her. What type of dog? Funny stories? Sweet stories? Just like when a human pas
sharing of memories can help. I have two dogs, one is 9 and the other 10. I actually cry thinking that something might happen to them, so I cannot imagine how you feel but I do know that "talking" about it can be very healing.
