This is my new favorite show...

Oh yes, my new favorite show since Six Feet Under went off

Brenda
Oh Brenda, there is no diagnosis for loving life and having fun. Get a grip, get a new Rx for your bifocals, clean up the slobber, and get out of that nursing home and wheelchair you have been in all day and have a good hearty laugh - ENJOY LIFE!
I agree 110% with Brenda. sm

I absolutely LOVE my Quicklook Electronic Drug reference 2008.  It has everything! One of the features I really find helpful is the "wildcard" search.  For example, if the doctor dictates the drug metoprolol, but all you can hear is the end of the word, "prolol", you can do a search putting in *prolol and every drug ending in "prolol" will be listed.  This works for me 99% of the time when I'm stuck.  Likewise, you can also use the first part of the word as well.


However, if it's a book you have your heart set on, Drake and Drake put out a great drug reference which is about the size you described you're looking for.  Good luck!


Also have two catfish in the pond, Brenda and Eddie. nm

What's your favorite food. Favorite in that you could only have one last meal what would it be?

Indulge me while I stare at computer screen waiting for Q work that isn't there.


I love spaghetti but only served with a great salad with olive oil and some garlic bread. Can't have pasta alone.  And needless to say a glass of red wine.  No dessert, just extra spaghetti.


 


If you can show proof you did this work for them, they then have to show they paid it in order

You may actually be treated better too
in working in that environment, Burger King. It's shameful for the level of difficulty this job is, that the pay is this lousy and the treatment by supervisors/management is disrespectful and horrendous.
Not sure...I HAVE been treated in...

I have been treated several times in France and in the U.K. and found the care excellent and their pricing for everything medically-related far better than in this country.  I know about their waiting lists and Canada's too.  I'm not sure what the answer is nor is SiCKO giving an answer.  I do know that trying to get an appointment in a VA Hospital in this country also has 3-6 month waiting lists. 


I wish we all had an answer.....


Some people at SS are treated
better than others.  The special ones get paid for their spaces, while some others do NOT.
Wow, that's really awkward that you are being treated
Are you sure they aren't getting these kinds of emails even tho their work shows the same errors on final copy?

This is a tough one.

Can you actually COMMUNICATE with her, instead of emailing? That seems to clear some kinds of things up, when emails just feel too awful.

Good luck. This must be an awful feeling.
ICs -- are you being treated like employees? (sm)
I filed IRS form SS-8, and boy did I get results!!

It took months. I had to fill out the very detailed form describing my work situation. The IRS then notified the MTSO and had them fill out the form. I just received the ruling that I was in fact an employee, so the MTSO now has to pay back taxes and penalties!!

It feels so good when something works the way it should, doesn't it?
You may well have been treated unfairly
There are so many different situations.  I'm not saying you weren't treated badly.  What I deal with sometimes  is ridiculous.  Totally made up words, no effort to digest feedback,  no effort to look drug spellings up.  AND an attitude toward me!
If we were treated like professionals, we might be
Management IS the devil. By the way, what's it like up there in mananagement, with your 6-figure income, your executive healthcare, and salary-not-hourly status? Especially when you sit in your office all day surfing Amazon & eBay? Must be nice, Beelzebub. But I'll never sell my soul for it.
So true!!. You can only be treated bad if you

You have to be psychic to be treated.

"Instructed the patient to take Benadryl the day before she feels like she is getting the hives." 



Never been treated so badly in my life

Just signed on with a company, had 1 week of work, now I am on my second week with no work.  I am a single mother with children to feed...it's just not right. Searching for a new job and have 3 offers on the table already......


How many jobs do we take until we might be treated decent


I am on my third in a year


Which companies were you at where you were not treated very well. I am job hunting and would like
to know.
It's just one more reason why MTs are treated like dirt. (nm)
:/
i've been very well treated by my state's
BC/BS -- and have had several expensive accidents...but maybe it depends on your state too.
For what it's worth, I don't think that you were treated dirty...sm
They decided to go to EMR, which is their choice.  It sounds as if you financially made out extremely well (very, very well) doing their transcription. How about charging a nominal fee to assist them in setting this up? In the end how do you know that the EMR will work out for them, and 3 or 4 months later they decide to go back to using a MT? It sounds like you made out like a bandit doing their work, and for what it's worth I would be quite reasonable fee-wise with this one in the hope that they may retain your services in the future. I don't think that you are going to run into too many gravy situations making $100.00 dollars an hour doing MT, and acyually they are not treating you dirty by deciding to try EMR.
You LET self be treated bad. Hard to feel sorry

treated badly and pentalized
Has anybody here had a company treat you badly because you want to work?  I was offered a full-time employee position.  I took it and then I was barely getting 200 lines a day.  I was also told I would have a back up account.  When I questioned what was going on, I was given the cold shoulder.  What's the deal? I want to work!  I am use to getting at least 1500 lines a day.
I concur....MTs are treated with respect at MDI-MD....
Best MTSO out there, in my opinion.
Mine started doing this as well. I have high BP which I'm being treated for (sm)
but the doctor told me it is the position of where the back of my thigh rests against the edge of the chair, puts pressure on it and makes the leg swell. Now that I'm more aware of this I try to position myself differently and it seems to work.
I don't understand your question at all. She was being treated in Mexico
so what does that have to say about the US? Makes no sense.
not true. Crux is, she is being treated differently than others

Tell that to my friend. They had a dog they treated as a member of their family. That is, until it a
Dogs need to be trained and need to know they're lowest in the pack. I tried telling my friend this, but she wouldn't listen and she continued to treat the dog as a member of the family instead of as a dog. And eventually that "member of their family" decided it didn't want any more competition for affection, and attacked their son. Thank God he survived, 92 stitches and some nasty scars tho. If you love your family and you love your dog, then TRAIN your dog. Don't treat him like an extra child.
A lot of women are treated badly in general sm

not just in the Amish community.  How many women are abused daily, behind closed doors and in public.  I remember an incident when I was visiting Atlantic City.  Had just walked into the casino and there was this man, wife, and child in a stroller along with some other friends.  Don't know what their argument was about, but the man hauled off and smacked his wife across her face like it was nothing and the friends seemed so embarrassed.  The poor lady just shielded her face and cried.  The man acted as if he had done nothing wrong.  If this is the treatment he gives her in public, imagine what goes on behind closed doors.  I told my husband if you ever even think about it I will put your poor soul to rest.


We cannot generalize by culture because it is the world we live in.  To the Amish community I am sure they receive "normal treatment." 


The gist of it all is no one should have to suffer the pain these children nor their families have endured with these school shootings, molestations, and abuse.  If you are that miserable (they end up killing themselves anyway most of the time), why not just go ahead and take your own life and leave others alone. I pray for them all and hope that they can find peace in the midst of all this tragedy.


Oh really? That's why it's a fact that Zarqawi was treated in Baghdad for injuries.

It is gratifying to see an MT who refuses to be treated as a second class employee. Way to go!!
:)
At our base the civilian employees are treated worse
than the prisoners from the nearby federal prisoner. Military thinks civilians are the scum of the earth. You will never get a promotion or recognition unless you are married to an active duty person.
I would be proud if my records, with my name erased, could be used to help an MT be treated fairly.
:P
Coretta Scott King died in Mexico, while being treated. ---what does that say about

love, love, love the show. hate american idol. this show is for real.
the only reason i entertained watching it was because of mark burnett and as usual he has such genious casting and editing. btw, don't know who anything about "metal" music but these performers make me like it. love marty and jd as performers. HATE JESSICA. susie is so nice and so emotional. it seems they all support each other and enjoy each others skills. regarding ty and bob marley, ty was excellent but he also lucked out on the song! bob marley was genious too and his music is very easy to listen to. i don't like 3/4 of what the others are given to sing but their performances make me love the music. dave navarro shines on this show, very gracious for the most part and letting the contestants down easy when they have to leave. he was great last night with brandon (?). sweet, sweet show. i am so impressed with everyone involved.
Nope, I don't feel "LUCKY" to be treated like an imbicile by my company. Nope, No way.

he was my least favorite as well, but what comes around goes
Brenda cheated on him with just about everyone, even a woman, the first season?  Still in shock.  There are three more shows left, who else is a goner?
My favorite is
tea sweetened with apple juice, maybe squeeze of lemon or lime  or  if I want to get real crazy some of that  bottled pomegranite juice!  Very refreshing and no refined  sugar.
who is your favorite?
I relate to all 4 women in some way or the other I think. I think Miranda might be mine. They are all great.
My favorite....
very tough choice, but probably Charlotte : )

My favorite, too, and...
you can find great sales. I always keep an extra on hand, just in case.

I had wrist/elbow problems until I started using the 4000. It's a work and a wonder!

However, now I can't type on a straight keyboard to save my soul. It's a fair trade, I think.

Bytescribe wav player.  I've tried Express Scribe and Start Stop.  Express Scribe doesn't have good sound, and Start Stop was very buggy.  I've heard the older versions are better.  I bought mine in December 2005.  Wouldn't work right after several install/uninstalls.  Tech support couldn't help me.  I didn't have time to send it back before while it was eligible to return.


I play DSS files, and there's a trick to getting DSS files to play really really well on a Bytescribe.  Bytescribe wav player was made for wav files.  You can email me if you want to know how to do this or call Bytescribe.  They have another program you can use that converts DSS to Wav files.  It's already on your computer if you use the Wavplayer.


I would recommend Bytescribe if you're playing Wav files and Olympus DSS player pro if you're playing DSS files, although I've never tried DSS player pro but heard it's good.


I think it's worth the money to invest in a good player.  It will pay for itself over and over again in productivity and less mistakes because you can hear better.  It also pays to have a very good sound card on your computer, especially if you're on a laptop.
