A couple snorts of Jack Daniels. Just kidding. sm :)

I read when I go to bed. Even if it's a really great book, I'm usually out like a light after 2 chapters. If I wake up at 2:00 a.m. for some reason, I just open my book back up and read some more and fall back asleep.


It keeps your mind off what is going on, which is what insomnia is usally all about.


If you treat it with meds of any kind, you'll end up relying on them. Not addicted to them, but relying on them and I'd rather rely on the library than the pharmacy.


It's cheaper too. :)


It's my opinion that orange juice is tastier than apple juice.

Holy cow! That's, like, a lot of clinics! In only 7 years? Holy Cow!
Legit place...hmmmm. There are a few out there. Whether they have clinic work is another story. I'm sure someone will have suggestions. But, isn't it cool that you'll probably already know the doctors no matter where you go!
LOL gallon

gallon a day sm
If you worked for me, I would have you flag the report, as this will follow the patient forever if not correct. Some will sign anything. I once had an ESL dictate, "The patient drinks one and one-half six can beer per day." I am not a mathematician, could be one and one-half six packs but I am not about to "label" anyone. There are "alcoholics" who inherit the disease and there are "drunks" who will drink anything and keep on doing it even when told to stop for their own health. Give people a break, you wouldn't want your family "labeled". The disease itself is punishment itself. Those who stop are just as good as you and I, they had an allergy of the body and a desire of the mind, such as one would have for chocolate, etc., so don't sit in judgement, that's God's job. If someone has stopped, give them a high five, not a label. Just my two cents.
Tell me about it at 2.79 a gallon in gas.
I thought the same thing about age discrimination.
cherry juice
I used to drink cherry juice on a regular basis for stiffness in my knees. I researched it and there was much positive research done by Michigan State Univ.  Info is on the web if you're interested.  For me, I drank it for several months.  In the beginning it was palatable but as the days went on it got to be awful to get down.  And , as someone else pointed out, it cleans out your system better than a stick of dynamite!  If you decide to use it, be sure it's the right kind-usually sells in concentrate and is sour cherry juice and ranges in price from $14-18.00 depending on where you get it.  Good luck if you decide to try it.
apple juice !
supposedly a natural stimulant, and it works pretty well for me in a pinch.
$2.39/gallon - Philadelphia

Black cherry juice

Is black cherry juice good for arthritis?


 


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

What does a gallon of gas cost in YOUR town?
$2.39 here. Northwestern Wisconsin. It is pathetic.
Paid $2.69/gallon in So. Cal. today. (nm)


 


I always used good old fashioned lemon juice -
in the bathwater for my beagle. She never ever had fleas EVER!!! I used an herbal shampoo of rosemary and pine and in her bathwater I would put about 1/2 cup to 1 cup of lemon juice in the water and rinse her off in it.
Our gas prices are just over $3/gallon and summer's coming!

I'll want to use my A/C in my car plus do a little extra driving in the summertime.


Right now it's costing me about $44 to $46 to fill my tank up.  It HURTS! 


Thinking about buying  a bicycle to get around town on!  lol


 


 


black cherry juice (100%) is excellent for gout - sm
along with warm cabbage leaves.

If you decide to drink black cherry juice, make sure it is 100%, no sugar or added water. Also, be careful about how much you drink, or you may end up with multiple trips to the bathroom :(
We just signed up for our propane for winter.. It's gone up a dollar per gallon...
from last year.  There is no shortage of propane as far as I know.  They just raise the price because they can.  We're paying 1.89 per gallon.  Thank goodness we have 2 wood stoves, but I'm sure a cord of wood will double too. . You can't win.
bush bashing? Do you like paying 5 bucks a gallon for gas? NM

get a life.


PA dictates patient drinks "a gallon" of liquor a day.
I hear people drinking a pint or 1/5 a day, but a GALLON.  The guy is only 45. 
on a diet...hamburger plain, unsweetened applesauce, tomato juice...yum NOT!
but it's working....yippee!  So much for the tastebuds!
Photos in today's NYPost show pumps in Brooklyn up over 3.00 a gallon, way over! nm

Happy Birthday, just make sure you have a DD and lots of orange juice for tomorrow morning!!!

holy cow

I type ortho all day. So for some reason, just for fun???? I decided to give myself a Phalen's test.  (If you aren't familiar, Google it and you will find tons of info, picutres and instructions) Yow, I did not feel it at first but now I am all tingly in the palm and ulnar nerve distribution in my hand.  Probably not a good thing to do when you still have to type another hour. 


Don't try this at home....or at least when you want good use of your hands. Guess I need to review my ergonomic, or not so ergonomic, positioning of my equipment. 


Holy cow
Can you fight the price with the hospital? Thats insane
Glass of wine
I did not mean to start a war.  I know the difference between a glass of wine and a "problem with drinking" as my father was an alcoholic as well as ex-husband.  And just to let you know the open bottle that I opened Sunday evening for my glass is still in the wine case/holder with one glass missing.  I will probably have to throw it out as I usually have one glass and forget that it is there to finish it.  Would not make a good alcoholic as I forget to continue to drink -- just my one beer or one glass of wine every couple of weeks.  Also, I usually wait until I am very near completion of my work before I "pop" the cork.  But again, did not mean to start a war. 
Glass of wine
Patti, unfortunately on this board lately, anything can start a war.

Like you, I sometimes start sipping a glass the last 30-60 mins. of my shift - about once a month. Ignore the hostile postings - some of these people read 2 words, take it out of context, and post in response to things that weren't even said.

Personally, I'm glad you posted because I felt a little guilty about sipping an ounce or 2 while working - I grew up in an alcohol-free home, but I certainly saw what alcoholism did to some of my friends' families.
Glass top stove
Have used these since the 70s. Be careful what type of pots you use on these. Never use any pots except the ones that are all metal underneath. The finish can come off the pretty red and blue pots and burn onto the stove. Check the bottom of your pots before you use them. If they have food embedded into the bottom, sometimes this will burn right onto the stove. Use the cleaner for a glass top stove. You can let is soak on the spots with a damp cloth on top of it and then go back and rub some of the soil off, but you have to keep repeating this until gone. The razor is okay under certain circumstances. Someone one stuck a contact paper onto one of mine inadvertently, not realizing the burner was on. Luckily for me I had the razor handy and got at it right away, while the burner was HOT. There's a lot of little tricks to keeping these nice. However, I did have one, a GE smooth-top free-standing range where the finish did actually chip off, which turned out to be a warranty problem. If the stove is new, maybe there's a warranty on it? Good luck. Try to relax and don't drive yourself wacko over it.
Holy cow, that really does work! sm
I never knew you could do that. Will really save my poor old blind eyes. LOL
Holy cow! Now I don't feel so bad!! nm

A glass of wine with typing

A while back there were several messages when someone made a halfway joke about drinking and I never answered but I do have to admit that when I sometimes have to work on Sunday nights or some late evenings I do sip on a glass of wine while typing, not an entire bottle but a glass of wine.  Just thought I would not comment on it as several people were shocked that anyone would even consider it.  Not all the time but occasionally and in moderation. 


That is my Sunday comment.


Glass etching, maybe? see link

glass cleaning wipes
They are in a plastic tube kinda like the wet wipes but are made for monitors and TVs.  Wal-Mart has them.
Glass half empty....

I can agree on a few points here.  If you expect to be stroked, you won't find that in healthcare at all.  I have worked in a hospital setting, have my own accounts, and also currently IC for a company online at this point.  I just love what I do, and I'm pretty good at it.  A lot of what you write is true in that this profession has evolved, but think about it this way.  If we didn't evolve, then how long would a patient wait for you to get that report off of the old typewriter?  How many people would go months and months before finding that lung mass or brain tumor?


Just like the typewriter has evolved, the technology in which we diagnose and treat patients has evolved with leaps and bounds.  I still feel I'm doing a service to the patient.  I like my job because I know it helps people.  I'm sort of behind the scenes at this point and not visible to the patient any longer unless there's one in the waiting room when I pick up my tapes (doctor won't go digital), so I see the difference I can make.


Do I need to be stroked and told I'm doing a great job?  No.  I know I do a good job, but being told that every day or two is not why I'm in it.  Money is just the means of a transfer.  No one told me I'd get rich being a transcriptionist, but no one told me how much I would learn about the human body and functionality of it either and that I could most likely take that experience into another field.   


Wow, when I type a report on a patient that has a serious illness, I think my lucky stars.  I think at this point, reading your post, I may go back to school.  My transcription skills could really help me become a coder (are they stroked/given raises every year?) or maybe I'll become a nurse (are they stroked/given raises every year?), or maybe I'll become a physician myself and pay my transcription enormous amounts of money and remember to call and thank them to express a job well done when really I should be calling my patient with the brain tumor or lung mass or any other disease.  I wonder if the maintenance guy sweeping the hall deserves a raise or the nice lady cleaning the windows, then again maybe the physician himself wouldn't mind being reimbursed for the services he renders to someone without health insurance? 


Buck up camper....  It's going to a long trip! 


 


Holy cow, wonder what is in that poor cat's water??

Where is this job? On this planet of MT? Holy crap!

Holy cow, 11? My brain would explode.
Here's a neat website that's all about productivity:

I do the same thing now and then, have a glass near the end of my work, usually takes me an
I find it relaxes me a little and I type a little faster, but I certainly don't do it on a daily basis, maybe Friday or Saturday night when I am winding down. As for the open bottle, get a vacuum system for it--rubber "cork", then pump the air out of the bottle, it will keep for a LONG time, no more tossing of flat wine. Works great!
screen kind? Glass or trinitron?

Windex or rubbing alcohol on glass :)
