Bariatric surgery

My employer is strongly considering outsourcing, so I'm looking for a national company with insurance that will help pay for laparoscopic surgery. 



bariatric surgery
Blue Cross/Blue Shield covers the lap-band, not sure which one you are considering. Go to lapbandtalk.com to search for and ask insurance questions if this is the one you have chosen.
Has anyone seen the commercial
where the snowman is eating soup at the table, and the snow melts off him, and it is a little boy?  Love that commercial. 
It it was a commercial
flight then possibly. It's also possible though that it was a private plane. My oncology practice has 4 clinics in outlying areas of the state and the husband of the CEO flies the docs around in his plane.
lamisil commercial

I'm with you "sm", that Lamisil commercial with the toenail lifting gives me the heebie-jeebies!!  It reminds me of when you have a long fingernail and you bang it against something and it bends backwards -- you know, that really freaky feeling....that's what the Lamisil commercial does to me, ouch!


 


 


have you seen the nextel commercial?

My son laughs uncontrollably every time this commercial comes on.  So funny!

I saw a commercial last night for Tax Cut
if I am remembering correctly. If it is made by H&R block, then that is the one. It said that if you ever get audited that their representatives with help you through the process if you used that system. Seems like a good benefit to have. Maybe there is some small print to that, but worth checking into. My accountant guarantees to represent you if you get audited too.
Got commercial account
I have Comcast (simply because they're the only provider I can get here) and I had to go to a commercial account because my service kept getting interrupted and it would take them 2-3 days to do anything about it.  A commercial account is costing me $100 a month but they have to deal with any problems I have within 24 hours, so its well worth it considering the money I lost waiting for techs to come out when I was residential.  They never said anything about usage on either account though; their philosophy seems to be that anything residential is frivolous (being used for entertainment purposes) and can wait.  So my advice is to go commercial - its the only way you'll get any respect at Comcast!
I had to get a commercial account
Its more expensive, but they have to guarantee 24 hour problem solution (or at least that a tech will put me at the head of the visit list). I haven't had any grief with them now for about 6 months, and I finally have a second option now (AT&T), so at least now I can dump them if things get bad with them again.
Help. Can anyone tell me what the song is on the commercial on tv where the guy is driving across

the US to San Francisco for a cell phone commercial and he pulls up in front of his girlfriends house in SF and calls her on the cell phone and she comes to the door and there he sits in his car. It is the cell phone commercial for the cell phone with the bars on it. This is driving me nuts. I cannot remember the name of that oldie song.


 


Disgusting commercial, huh?! Hahaha
I use Brawny paper towels and Lysol Kitchen spray on counters and appliances. I use plastic scrubbies on the sink and anything I need to scrub up before the dishwasher and the put the scrubbie in the dishwasher as well. I spray Lysol on the sink and faucets before I go to bed.

I started this when I saw Oprah's show on women who horde and won't clean/throw away anything. The experts she had on the show had checked one woman's kitchen sink for bacteria and compared it to her commode and the commode was cleaner! I about fell over. I have dishcloths and dishtowels but they are washed after every single use! Ewwwwww!
That commercial makes me want to puke.

And convenient. Just like the commercial says ' Some families

Yes, I would suggest using a commercial expander sm
Like ShortHand or Instant Text. They will increase your productivity tremendously.

As for the buckling down and just getting to work, well, as soon as you realize the secret to that, be sure and share it with the rest of us! If I knew the answer to that, I would not be sitting here on MTStars at 10:03 replying to your message, I would be cranking out the lines!! :)
I saw this great commercial last night in which
there were children playing and then all of a sudden one little girl started ranting on the others, saying something about awful pimples the other child has, etc... and then at the end of the commercial it said never say anything in an e mail you wouldn't say in person....It is a hard lesson but it is true. Another way my 8 year old put it: Ask yourself, is what you said something that should have stayed in your head? I ask myself this every day whether speaking or e mailing or posting, and it really helps.
That Pepto-Bismol Commercial song!
I now know who actually sings on that Pepto-Bismol commercial - "Upset stomach, diarrhea, -- YEAAAAAAA"  It's the doctors I transcribe for!
Yeah, could you imagine if we made a work at home commercial
that was truthful?  Instead of the serenely peaceful scene with the children playing quietly at your feet while you made $50,000 a year, there would be toys flying everywhere, kids jumping on the furniture, the dog yacking on the carpet, neighbors banging on the door, the phone ringing off the hook, laundy piled up to the ceiling, and a husband whining about something or another. 
too true. Spring break is somekind of commercial myth anyway,

Awesome! Here, a local computer repair shop has a similar commercial. Its really funny. nm

you come up with the best links!

Here are some links for you

Don't have time to look for more, but one time in school we had cheap glass bulb ornaments and we wrote our name and year on them with glue and then sprinkled with glitter.  You could probably get bulbs/glitter at dollar store.


You might also want to go the dollar store and look for craft kits.  I buy kits every year from a craft store and they usually make 6-12.  If the tables in the room were in groups you could just take a paper plate and pour 1 kit out on each and they could share, or you could divide up the items into a baggie and make copies of the instructions.


You could take bagels (from the bakery outlet stores and cheap) and smear with peanut butter and then press in bird seed, attach some thread and hang on a tree near their classroom - unless you are wanting them to have something to take home.  Can also use pine cones for this.


Buy some plain gingerbread man cookies and tubes of frosting and sprinkles and let them decorate them.


 


 


 


 


 


 


Do you have any links?

Here are two links
Meditec.com Free Trial Offer, MT Mini Course
http://www.meditec.com/free-medical-transcription-course.pdf (pages 9-27)


Candidate Guide for the AAMT Certified Medical Transcription (CMT) Exam
http://www.aamt.org/scriptcontent/Downloads/CMTCandidateGuide.pdf
(has sample questions, page 11)


If you’re going to test people through actual dictation, I recommend that you make sure they all transcribe one report by the hardest dictator you have. If they can do that, then they’ll have no problem doing anyone else you have.

i did not get all the links until i (sm)

until i upgraded my antivirus software.  strange as it seems.  


had nothing to do with my browser.


Links

I like these sites...


TheGreatDictator.com  All kinds of links!


OneLook.com  Awesome if you want to do a fuzzy search (part of a term)


TheAGAPECenter.com  Hospitals and clinics by state


Of course, Google.


 


Good luck!


Where do I buy one... links?
Can you save me some time and give me a link. Thanks a bunch!!!!
you also need to fix the links

Starting from mtstars.com, clicking Forums, clicking Main Board leads you to page not found.


Thank you for the links
Will research them

obviously the other 2 links didn't......sm

the other 2 links I provided evidently didn't hold your interest because voterfraud.org is loaded with the FACTS state-by-state.......if it's too lengthy for your reading comprehension, just open up Ohio and Florida...


 


ROFL 


Send them the links

As an MTSO, you should never give the "answer", but the way you found it, i.e., the links.  This way they will 1.  learn how to find it themselves and 2.  stop bothering you.  It does work, even though I must say that every day is a learning process in this field.


Provide me with the links. NM

This site has some links
You can find some links on this page - docs and others.
Cannot get your links to work
Please double check.  Thx
Thanks for all the links! - No message

I love the Sprint commercial where Donnie Osman is talking to Sprint guy
and says now he can call all his relatives so on and so on and Tito.  Then Sprint guy says Donnie doesn't have a Tito in his family.  So funny.  A play on Michael Jackson's family.  I love the Sprint guy anyway.
I found the other links I had written down.
digiscript, transcripts.tv, and fantastictranscripts. You can Google them to find the websites. The only place I actually ever worked was emediamillworks/FDCH.
links on left, but on my Dell I don't....nm

FYI on links from message boards
Please be careful when opening links from anyone on the MT boards. I had a word question and posted it to XXXXX (this is the board that the company I work for prefers us to use). Instead of answering my question, someone posted to look at the link that they listed. This link had the answer to my question, but it also transmitted spyware/problem to my computer. Just a warning, especially for new MTs - I had to learn the hard way - and am going back to my books instead of searching the internet or message boards for answers to my questions.
Re your comment on CS's site/links
The reason the companies listed don't have MTec and Andrews showing is because they are being posted on CS's webpage and are being paid!! And Not only that YOU get paid some type of commission for being an affiliate, right?? Come on... you CS guys are becoming indentured servants working before graduation for these companies... with the enticement of getting a job with them. How much would they have had to pay a non-student MT to produce this work??? Also take a look at CS's "Board" -- all business people in it for the buck it looks like to me -- how many of them have been MT's LOL...(and also of the same religious affiliation...)it appears more like a telemarketing site. I believe Michele A. started this company out with good intention, but now it appears the company is in it for the buck -- Sorry if I've offended anyone, but that's my perspective. MTec and Andrews not only have their reputations, but they have class and style!!


"The industry has definitely jumped on-board with Career Step, which has the other schools scrambling. You can visit Career Step's page about industry partners to learn more: www.careerstep.com/site/type=mt/page=companiesrecommend-mt (Click on the links, and see for yourself which school leading MTSO's refer you to for training. If even one of them recommends Andrews or mtec, I'd be surprised
Trouble with links on these forums anybody?n/m

I am starting a blog..need links
I am starting a blog about this offshore deal. If you have any links to stories related to the downside of this, links to contact the government or news sources, please e-mail them. I will post a note here as soon as i have it set up...probably later today.


The good news about links...sm
"missing" on that site is that you can add more yourself. That appears to be the whole purpose of the site - to provide links to references (ergo MTReference) that one might need while working.

Anyone can find anything on the internet; you're right about that. But I'd prefer not to be worried so much about that and more worried about doing my job correctly with appropriate references and answers.

Don't register if you are not interested in the site. I, for one, appreciate that it is there.
