In Reply to: What is (sm) and what is the little flame thing beside some of the posts? - Renee

It will flame.  I am not real sure how many hits a particular post has to get before turning to a flame, but I do believe this is why.  As for sm, I really don't know.  Maybe see message?

I assume you are assigned number much like a license number that can be verified through the AAMT.

Beyond that, I have no idea.

It happens when there are so many views.

My views as the last 2 here
I was just talking yesterday about how most of your life is behind you before you know it (wish I could live some 60 more years), yesterday was when I was in high school, wasn’t it? Where did the 20s, 30s or even the 40s go - like a blur. I tell the younger than me all the time, time flies and it does. I love my life now, wish the years would slow down a little though.
My political views
You need to take my political views with a grain of salt.  I really don't know enough about politics to even be on here running my mouth.  Furthermore, I don't hate President Bush, I do so enjoy picking on him; but I know he has a very difficult job, and I bet money he is a lot smarter than me.
Means it had a lot of views...sm
I think 200 and over.
281 views and only 1 reply
Haha. Thanks puzzled, I appreciate your response. I guess the other QAs dont want to give up their secret info. ;)

Views in Word
I believe the only "permanent" change in view is the "print view". Perhaps you can write a macro that will change the view for you? You could type in the macro code before starting each report ... just a thought ...
51 views, but no answers
Maybe I'm not being clear with my questions. I've seen IC jobs that I'm interested in. Should I go ahead and apply, do the testing?  I have DSL, Windows XP, I can get the version of Word they want, if necessary. The national I worked for had proprietary software so I didn't need Word, although I have worked on it in the past.  It would be the medical spellchecker, expanders, foot pedals, etc. that I would have to purchase if they weren't supplied.  I just would appreciate some feedback on this. I'd rather be an employee w/benefits.
I like differing views and opinions...

It would be a very dull and uninteresting world (and bb) if everyone thought the came way.


I believe discussion and hearing what others think is a GOOD thing. 


MQLover gives her opinion.  What's wrong with that??? 


I feel for you - I am too! I don't like to push my views on others
and to each his own, but I certainly wouldn't complain if I never had to touch a piece of bacon (ugh!) or raw meat again. I'm married to a meat lover.
Over 200 views, hot topic indication.
//
i agree. not all views are represented on these
boards, it's too dangerous to be honest - you'll get attacked.


well, MTMommy has many views about MT work
she's really not interested in doing a professional job, in my opinion. she just wants money for nothing and to stay home and get paid.
Over 200 views, it marks as HOT topic.

Diagnostics/add views different from screenings
With diagnostic studies and add-views (follow-ups to abnormal screening studies) our MDs read the films while the patient is still there. Depending on who the referrer is, he often talks to patients if the results are not good. Even if he does not talk to the patient, you can be sure he has put in a call to the referring MD so that you will usually be notified the same day of any need for biopsy. But if it's negative, the referrer may not be as quick to call their patient, in general. And not every biopsy comes back with cancer, either, so don't panic until it's time to panic.
The reason why is because we do not agree with their views.
t
wrong! she views this as a "problem"
furthermore, she has a 'gut reaction'. then she is looking for a 'rule', apparently to support her in not putting the dictation in the report. That is the only conclusion that can be logically drawn from 'looking for a rule'. Otherwise this post would not have even been made or debated. THAT is why there is strong reaction.
It means a "hot" topic with a lot of views. NM

nonsense - we can all express our views...we are all adults (sm)
I just felt compelled to share this information because I just learned it.

haha - I was on atkins for 4 years, all I did was eat meat!

It just seemed important to me, like I feel it is another thing I have been 'lied' to by the government. You find the reality of things, and it is not how it is supposed to be.

Please post recipes because I still have to cook meat for my boyfriend...I just ask for forgiveness first...smile!
Her statement is posted regarding MTStar's views. (SM)
She is the Administrator and owner of this website and has every right to post her views, and is making sure that board is aware of the evolving issues before it.

Discussion posts about offshoring belong on the Offshore Concerns board. Discussion posts about politics belong on the political boards.

These are simple guidelines. No more needs to be asked or discussed about it.

After 200 views, a message shows a "flame". (SM)
It means it has been popular to view.

Flaming can also mean that there are many conflicting replies.

Welcome to MTStars. Make sure you become familiar with posting guidelnes; a good rundown on those would be to see the Company board - the guidelines are listed at the top.

Please be aware that this is a public forum. You may, at times, have to look past negative posts to get to positive ones.

If you have any problems, e-mail me - I'll be glad to help.

Does anyone know of any websites where I can find different types of x-ray views? TIA

Someone answered on this below, that thing pops up when it has had a lot of hits -see the # of views
probably set for 100 or something like that. So when it have however many views, the little fire springs up indicating is "hot" and has been looked at a lot!

To the poster below who equates the BIble Belt with political views
USING TWO COWS TO EXPLAIN. . .

A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. Then you covet it.

A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his.

A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbra Streisand sings for you.

A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?

A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.

A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage which ultimately blows up the cows.

CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.

DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.

BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.

AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts that you have reduced your expenses. Your stock goes up.

A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch. Life is good.

A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.

A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.

AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.

A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. You produce your 10th, 5-year plan in the last 3 months. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.

A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge for storing them for others. If they give milk, you tell no one.

A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows. You expropriate them. The American corporation goes chapter 11.

AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.

:D

Yeah, okay. Don't share your views and opinions. Just be insulting, that's helpful. SM
You do realize that your profession is about more than just you.  We are all MTs.  What is going on in our profession affects us all.  It's not just about you or me.
I didn't find an 800 number, but I did find this number...
1 650-253-0000

Looking for MQ number...sm

I went through training and am supposed to start soon. I got a phone call from someone named Elaine who said something about the CHW Mercy/Memorial account and gave me a 3658 extension. I called the MQ number I have and they said there is no one there by that name or extension.


Does anyone have a phone number for this person or know how I can reach her?


Thanks!


100 number

If you choose to block your call by either *67 or *69 (forget which one it is) and the nunmber your dialing does not accept blocked numbers and asks you to put your number in, you can put ANY number you choose in and the call will go through.


Did'nt know that one until one of my kids (figures) told me about it.  So it could be the new wave tool of solicitors/bill collectors or just other teens pulling pranks.


Number 1 through 9
I was always told to spell out anything below 10 (even at Medquist).  Prior to taking my second test, a recruiter actually told me that this is a recent change and to make sure to take note of it during the test???  It is so hard to keep things straight sometimes with all the changes and conflicts.  Aiyeee!!!
They want your ss number
in case you decide to skip on your bill; then they can send you to a collection agency.  Are they just supposed to believe because you appear with a medical card that you are covered?  NOT!
age is only a number
I am 43 and am trying to get into a CNA program through a local nursing home.  I took care of my mother-in-law for 8 years before passing away in Januarey of this year.  After doing this I have realized that I want to this instead of typing the reports.  Go for it.  I am.  Good luck!!!
Telephone Number ...sm
The number you gave below for Detective Joe Rodriquez is not working...sounds like a fax line...please advise? TIA
What's the tech number?

What's the tech number?


 


Number pad.......try rebooting. nm

Sleep Number Bed
We've had the Select Comfort Sleep Number Bed for several years now and it definitely is the most comfortable bed. We had a water bed for years and years and love it too.  The one down side to the Sleep Number bed after having a water bed is that when you crawl into it on a cold nite it is COLD. We don't have an electric blanket. The water bed was always like climbing into a nest! But I would HIGHLY recommend a Select Comfort bed. Paul Harvey and Rush Limbash both advertise them on their shows. After having the bed for a couple years our house took a lightning strike and it blew out the air pump. We called them and they send another pump at no charge. That was very nice.
What on earth is the 100 number

an no one ever answers?


Number vun, eet ees . . . peerrriod sm
Oh, gawd, I really hate the ones who barely speak English. All I can do is type the words and then go back and try to figure out what they're trying to say. Verbatim my #%@!
Number one producer

I have just put in 19,000 lines for 8.5 days on top of being team leader for two accounts.  I am number one.


 


Her background? I cannot name the number of
Master-degreed nurses I have worked with and done transcription for who are not able to annunciate or spell terminology and medications, etc. When I would ask them about their dictation, they wouldn't even know what they were reading off on simple radiology and lab reports, etc. It was shocking.

Her "background" does not necessarily give her what she needs. Whether she needs to make haste on an MT school/course depends truly on how competent of a student she was in her nursing studies.
so please take a number...*lolol*...nm

I looked into it and our number is still
registered as do not call, has been since 2003, but (and I did not know this part) it expires in 2010. I am glad I saw that. Thanks again!!
luv my sleep number bed!!!
we have a king size, plenty of room and comfort for me, hubby, and our zoo of animals!
Does anyone own a sleep number bed and if so, do you like it? Thx

If you have a contact number, and you really
want the job, you may want to try that avenue.  You can try to come off on the phone like you were just following up and being quite honest about it state that you intent is to be of bother, but you would love to join their team and help with the "new" account.  Sometimes I think the companies looking get so involved with recruiting that they can get lost in that for a time.  If it is clinic work, I have noticed that pretty much weekends do not really count, so I would try to stick to Monday-Friday as far as communications with them.  Acute care accounts are a little different, I think, in that regard, as they are more apt to communicate on weekends since they usually require staffing as such.  I hope this makes sense.  Good luck in your endeavors.
Do you have a product number on this? Some way to

There could be any of a number of reasons.
Some physicians have a God complex and freak at the slightest mistake. I have seen that happen many times even if it was something the MT could not control. You should have been given better instructions regarding format, but the powers that be may not have realized you were not. If the physician freaked, the office staff was not going to admit that they did not do their part.
