Love music....every form....I've sung just about all of them including Mozart!  Music is an international language. It's always been such a great release from life's daily stressors.    Cat

Louise Hayes is a nut writing all of that nonsense.
Don't waste your money.

I received a flyer from Lippincott, Williams & --sm
Wilkins offering a trial  study guid and CD to take the RMT exam.  Has anyone done this? Where/when/how are the exams given? 
Bought best concrete paint Sherwin Williams had
I have painted my front porch umteen times, but I have never put a primer under it. That may be the key to it not peeling and flaking off. I thought I'd give it one more try this year (when it cools down a bit) but talk to them about a primer first. No one has told me to prime it and I'm not sure if there is even a primer for concrete as I don't know that much about painting, but I'm hoping that may be the key. I even bought the No-Slip concrete paint once... I hated it! It looked terrible when it started flaking off!  Good Luck on your project and hope someone knows more than I do to help you.
You want a great songwriter? Listen to Lucinda Williams, sm
Her voice is different than Babs and Celine, but Lucinda can paint a picture with words like no one I've ever heard.
Hunter
My husband hunts once yearly.  He hunts deer.  We then process it and feed our family all winter with it.  It helps cut down on the grocery bills. 
I am a hunter and I am not a man.
It does not go to waste. What you think that only men hunt???? WRONG. I support my family with this meat.
Dog, The Bounty Hunter
I have never actually watched a whole program, but he really is full of himself.  So is his wife.  The commercials are obnoxious.  Looks like he sends in 15 guys to tackle the fugitive before he steps up and pulls his gun out. 
LOL! Dog .... the BOUN-TY HUNTER
that show cracks me up.
Maybe a bounty hunter.

Steve Irwin 'Crocodile Hunter' has died. May God comfort

his father, sister, wife, children, friends, and fans during this tragic time.


Mr. Irwin was filming a documentary when he was pierced in the chest by a stingray barb.


 


Former AAMT motivational speaker, Dog the Bounty Hunter in hot water.
Personally, I never felt that AAMT made a very wise decision is getting Dog the Bounty Hunter as a "motivational" speaker at the convention in Hawaii.  Frankly, I thought it was pure stupidity.  A recovering drug addict who had done pretty heavy jail time, who later ended up in a Mexican prison, and now in hot water for making racial slurs, and telling his sons not to date black women is hardly what I would refer to as a motivation for anyone.  I suspect his show will probably end up getting canceled though I couldn't watch it for more than 5 minutes anyway.  
joint/join
Ummmm - that was join, not joint.
Joint tenderness is another possibility.

I sent an email to Joint Commission
I don't know why they don't crack down on these docs-- especially these horrible foreigners. I am an MT, not an interpreter for the UN. If I wanted that job, I would move to New York. What it is going to take is some horrendous lawsuit and I hope it happens soon. If these people can't speak English clearly enough to be understood, then they need to have someone dictate for them who can-- plain and simple.
Joint Commission is the entity that provides
accrediation to hospitals. Without them they do not get Medicare payments, Medicaid payments, etc.
Reminder: Croc Hunter fans, watch Steve Irwin's Memorial filmed

Reminder: Croc Hunter fans, watch Steve Irwin's Memorial filmed at his Australia Zoo's Crocoseum tonight on Animal Planet.  The memorial is commercial free and airs from 9 to 10 PM ET/PT tonight and then an encore will air at 12 to 1 AM ET/PT.  If you are a fan of our beloved Steve Irwin, make sure to have a DVD or VCR tape ready to record! 


Actually, the BOS follows the Joint Commission not vice versa. The BOS...
adopted the Joint Commissions recommendations for dangerous abbreviations.  As for the rest of the BOS, I've worked for a number of hospitals in the office over the years and not one manager that I have encountered don't give a hoot about the BOS.
Does NE1 have severe joint pain while working?

I have been working as an MT for only 4 years, and I am only 23 years old, but lately I have had severe finger, wrist, elbow, shoulder, and neck joint pains, especially when working.  I am just wondering if this is normal. 


Thanks for the help. 


Joint Pain in Arms/Hands/Shoulders
I am just going to relate this story for what it is worth to someone else.

In 2001 I began having problems with my left hand, arm and shoulder. Orthopedist thought it may be the beginnings of carpal tunnel but EMG was neg. It was bad enuf that at times I couldn't pick stuff up and it hurt to type. It waned and waxed. A few years later I began having problems with my hands and the joints in my fingers hurting, along with left shoulder pain. My hands were so bad I could not open a jar at times. Eventually I went to a rheumatologist who told me that I had no visible signs of severe arthritis. All MDs, incl. orthopedist and rheumatologist recommended trying Celebrex, aspirin, etc. The regular stuff. I was resigned to early arthritis like my mother.

Well, one day in late 2004/early 2005 I decide to see a chiropractor for my shoulder because I'd had electro therapy for an injury years ago and thought maybe this would help. I had some adjustments and electro therapy on my shoulder.

I want to tell you -- ALL and EVERY pain in my fingers left and never came back. ALL and EVERY pain running from shoulder to hand stopped. It had to have been some sort of pinched nerve.

Not a single MD had even suggested seeing a chiropractor. And had it not been for my shoulder and my past experience, I never would have thought of it and would still be suffering, possibly with even further damage to the nerve by now.
Yes it is, and we do file a joint return BUT you can offset your income - sm
on the schedule C with your expenses (mine are ~$2K) and lower the amount you pay taxes on. This is in addition to your Sch. A/B or the standard deduction.
That is interesting. The hospital I work goes by the joint commission
and not so much the AAMT BOS but the commission that gives the governs the hospital.  The doctors are not allowed to write q. as an abbreviation when writing orders and must write out word "every" or they are called on it.  The transcriptionists have to follow that rule also.  This is a major teaching hospital.  I think the AAMT follows the joint commission also when they makes their rules.  But I also understand that you do what the client wants first and if they do not answer to the Joint Commission rules then the other form would be the correct way to go.
isn't the forbidden words from joint commision of hospitals, not BOS? nm

The Joint Commission's Dangerous Abbreviation List... SM

applies to written entries on a patient's chart, i.e. nurses' notes, doctor's orders, etc.  For some insane reason, someone somewhere decided to apply it to transcription as well which is just silly.  I work for a facility that has decided not to force transcription to strictly adhere to the dangerous abbreviation list and Joint Commission has not counted it against them in the last three audits.


I will say most MTs where I work do not use qhs, qac or qd.  We expand those out because WE (the transcription department) decided that we should for clarification purposes.
