The acronym is something like nypdi or nipdy? I found the site on here. I loved it. It was great for letters. Help me out if you can. Greatly appreciated.

I would like to believe it but doctors lost their 'power' long ago with capitation and
then the insurance companies starting controlling health care.

I think doctors have always been unhappy with outsourcing but just are not given much of a voice anymore.

the biggest change I noticed happened about 10 years ago when the nurses at the hospital I worked at were trying to go on strike. even though the doctors sided with them and fought alongside them, even wore black arm bands to show solidarity, well, you know the outcome...health care is a business, no longer caring about the individual patient... the nurses (and doctors) lost...

I have even heard doctors screaming with the DRG girls over patients needing care, etc., and the girls denying it...
Yeap, lost huge account to EMR, most CA doctors are now using it
After I lost my accounts, I went to doctors' offices all over Orange County, and most are now using EMR or going EMR. I lost a huge account with several clinics. They loaded up all of my templates, and off they went. Good luck.
I find eliminating salt helps an awful lot.
Sometimes drinking more water helps, too.
I would say a GI is the correct specialist and keep switching until you find one who helps you. So

trying to find a long-lost doc sm

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas for me.  I'm trying to locate a counselor who apparently just disappeared.  I used the ecare.com and whitepages, but didn't find anything.  He had 2 offices in my city.  Fortunately, I don't need to see him, but I'd like to locate him for another reason.


While I'm at it, maybe someone knows if deceased physicians are located in a certain place.  Hopefully this isn't the case re this other GP, but he was my doc many years ago in a different state.  This is more a curiousity thing. 


I found my neighbor listed on ecare (she's a PA-C), so I know it's not just for MDs.  I just wanted to make sure.


Thanks for any ideas!


Is there a way to find out if new doctors are in town?

It seems I've heard of a website like this before, but just can't remember. Thanks!


How to find doctors' names
www.ucomparehealthcare.com/drs This link gives docs names by state.
Just like not all doctors are the way this one was, neither are all MTSOs. Find one that doesn't
It's a no brainer, really.
Anyone have a good source for Alabama doctors, where you can find them by just last name or a few le

NEVER did my employer in any way imply or threaten or dare even mention that my job was in jeopardy because I could not work immediately following a trifecta of natural disasters! My jaw agape is not at your concern about working, but at your concern that you would lose your job because of it. Companies have to have a heart in some situations. You're one MT, your company won't go under without you working for a week or 2 or 3.
Thanks a lot!! Will bookmark that one!
Sometimes Google just isn't much help!!
Lola. Here's one website you might want to bookmark on radiographic signs

I recently lost 20 pounds. That means I lost 80 sticks of butter.

I doubt your brother has won more than he's lost. To win that much he's probably lost 3 times
So he probably has more bills than money. Otherwise the casinos would go broke.
go to chat room on web site and find out. i'm working but if you find out, let me know.
creepy dude.
I find most of my abbreviations here. Scroll all the way down until you find the abbreviation box.

OJ is what helps me
I think it is the sugar in the juice because no one tells you that smoking digests food quicker (read that somewhere) so it will take longer for a person who stopped smoking to feel better after eating... So when I feel low I drink some juice... hope this helps
Thank you so much - yes that helps! nm

My Stedman's spell check accepts antiinflammatory.  I read somewhere that we are we are not supposed to hyphenate unless the nonhyphenated word form is another separate word.  I do not remember the examples they gave, but it did make sense.

Yes, that helps, thanks.

Not sure if this helps

Perhaps they gave you a generic contract or info sheet, you need to ask if you are to print and return or send back and they print.  Also call in services charge per minute of dictation anywhere from 0.18 to 0.10 per minute of dictation.  So more than how many lines, you need to know minute as if they are stuttering a lot or going through a chart and not dictating you will be charged for the minutes that they use whether dictating or not.  What city/state are you in, will you be contracting out, and again find out if you have to print or they print.  Sometimes the contracts that they send our are generic and do not specify which services you will be providing and you need to clarify that.   So you need to ask a few more questions, also see if they deduct or penalize if you do not meet your TAT.   But without know the above, to me it would be like throwing a dart at a dart board trying to make a bullseye.

This helps me........sm
I get up and wrap my arms around myself in a big bear hug as tight as I can to stretch out the back muscles. I bend over and let my arms dangle until my fingers eventually touch the ground, if you're one like me who cannot flat palm the floor with straight legs (my MIL at 70 could!). This really stretches out everything. I get a lot of relief in the neck by doing chin tucks to the chest and relaxing there for a couple of minutes.

This is a trick a PT told me...while sitting in a chair with your legs a foot or so apart, bend over with your arms inside the leg area and grab for the floor...this really stretches out the upper back.

I know what you mean though -my muscles will burn in my arms and shoot pains through to my hands. Hope this helps!
That helps a lot.
Thank you so much.
yes it helps a lot --

but do you plug Lanier into a phone line? I am not familiar with Lanier.


 


Not that it helps but...
Not sure if this is being used in word? However and FYI for those who might need it, if you type LEE and it expands, do ALT E and enter, which is for unedit and it will return to the abbreviated text.
yes, that helps

That seems like it would be very time consuming!  I'm using a pedal now and can't imagine controlling my dictations without it.  Doesn't that take away from a lot of typing time?

Black-out drapes purchased at K-mart and a black sleep mask ($3 from a catalog) have been a tremendous help in getting/staying asleep when you have to sleep during the day.
Hopefully this helps! (sm)
Turn on or off automatic bulleted or numbered lists:

On the Tools menu, click AutoCorrect Options, and then click the AutoFormat As You Type tab.
Under Apply as you type, select or clear the Automatic bulleted lists or Automatic numbered lists check box.

This is a VA account? The VA pretty much expects contractors to pay their workers. If you're not working for this woman any longer, you might try complaining to the facility that you have not been paid. Try calling purchasing and contracting, as well as the chief of HIM. You can get the main phone numbers on the VA website--just Google it.

My computer has 2 holes for the headphone set:
One is in front of the modem and one is in the back of the modem.

Put your hedadphone into the hole in the BACK of the modem.
Thank you! This helps. And thanks to everybody.
Great suggestions.

Don't know if this helps...
... but here is a shot of my left hand, on the keyboard, in its usual typing position. (The right hand is holding the camera.) It's hard to tell... but hopefully you can see that my wrist is absolutely flat, and my hand comes straight off my forearm without any angle to either side.

Because I have a curved keyboard, the wrist rest is an Imak Ergo Beans beanbag, which of course conforms to any keyboard. I picked it up at Office Depot for pretty cheap. The keyboard is the Microsoft Comfort Curve 2000 which costs under 20 bucks and has pretty decent action. The curve is actually pretty slight---but it's JUST enough to straighten out those lateral wrist angles that first gave me tendinitis back in the old typewriter days.

What you can't really see is that the heel of my hand is resting on a wrist-rest, which is at a height that keeps everything perfectly level. And what you can't see at all is that my forearms are basically parallel to the floor, with my elbows tight at my sides. It took a good bit of chair and desk height fiddling to get this combination right; but believe me, it is WORTH IT!

Anyway... see what you can do to get your wrists into as neutral positions as possible, both vertical and horizontal. And do try wrapping with an Ace bandage--even if only at night, to keep yourself from sleeping on it "wrong." (I do that from time to time. Not fun.)

Best of luck, and keep us posted on how it goes!
Thank you so much...it helps, even if you're not my QA! nm

I have a Stedman's 3rd ed. (2003) that I purchased new (still in plastic) off of Amazon for $22.  I like the HPI books, but I have never used the psych one, so I don't know how much difference there is, but I do know you can get the Stedman's cheaper than $36.  Another book that I used a lot is the PDR Drug Guide for Mental Health Professionals 2nd ed.  I bought it at Books a Million.  I don't use it as much now since I am familiar with the meds, but it was great when I started doing psych because it only has the types of meds related to mental health in it.  Check ebay and Amazon for books.  They are SO much cheaper.  I have bought almost all of my ref. books that way.  Good luck!  I love doing psych. 
Hope it helps

Thank you - that helps immensly

Thank you.  That definitely helps me a lot.  The more I think about it, the more I realize that I am happy where I am and if it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?!  Plus, I am in a position where I can extend myself a bit and make more where I am, so not sure the switch would be a great idea.


Thanks again!


It helps if we know the whole sentence
