Gravida 0, para 0.

23-year old white female, gravida 6, para 2, ab 4?

I don't blame him for saying that, I probably wouldn't have been so nice!


There should be mandatory sterilization in cases like that.


 


You shouldn't be going off on your own to pull patient charts for your own curiosity!!! nm

patient denies change in bowel habitus? shouldn't this be habit? MD says habitus. HELP!

I'm gravida 0 and I have a dumb ?
If you are 9 mos. pregnant and in the hospital for induction, on abdominal exam, can your abdomen actually be *soft*?

I have felt pg bellies, and they are not soft. Why do they always say this? It doesn't make sense to me, but then I have no personal experience with it.
Yep - nearly always start their para's w/ capped heading of procedure to be described.

Oops! 2nd para should be "before" which, not "after." (nomsg)

Gravida means total pregnancies. You can't have a miscarriage, birth or AB
unless you were pregnant, thus para 0 on gravida 0 is redundant.
Putting patient versus The patient (sm)
When did this "rule" come about? I've been an MT/Editor/medeical records tech/ART for 30 years - Never, ever was I told to put that. You cannot make the sentence be "The patient sent to Radiology" but you can put "Patient sent to Radiology."

Thats just insane.
yep, I understood what you were saying!

 


 


It's not fun to go through. I was so stressed the whole time. I often wonder if all of the transcriptionists went through the same thing at the place I worked.  I could understand if it is a huge deal or something, but that was out of hand.


Best thing I ever did for myself was move on!


I don't think you understood ...
She said that she was let go and is not under contract now and he is still calling asking questions, even though she is not working for them. I believe she should charge for his services also.
The way I understood the OP
it IS her company as in, she owns it. So, if that is the case, she absolutly has the right to demand that the company name, logo, or anything associated with it be taken down. Especially if it is plaster over a website that displays explicit sexual pictures. It is not about whether or not a person is homosexual, it is about the appearance of the company.

If the employee wants to plaster naughty pictures of herself, whatever. To each their own BUT, if it could possibly portray the company in a bad light, she should absolutely not put the company name out there on her personal website. It's bad taste.
At least you understood him.

I understood what you
Some people just want to jump to the worst conclusion.  I understood exactly what you were saying.  You are trying to earn less then $900.  Why people are so judgmental about other people's circumstances is amazing.  Talk about self-righteous.
At any time it was understood sm
that I would leave the room at the patient's request.  I had to have HIPAA training just like the nurses or anyone else there.  I was under oath to not disclose any info about any patient and I took that seriously.  Most patients did not mind me being there and if they did then I left so they could discuss in more private.  I always had to type in whatever was discussed in the room afterwards so I still knew what had went on. 
Actually I never understood what was so special about them
I wouldn't care one way or another if I never heard another Beatles song again
If all IC's understood what that IC means, maybe...

there wouldn't be such a problem with the quality of pay for MT's.  An independent contractor does NOT need to accept 5-6-7 cpl for their work and does not have to abide by MTSO's demands for overtime, etc.  An IC tells THEM what she/he will do and how much she/he will charge the MTSO for their services.  It's your business and you set the rules.  I know this won't happen on a large scale now because too many people are desperate for the work and will agree to work for next to nothing.  Too bad, because if all IC's set their pay scale like they should have in the beginning, the MTSO's would have to pay it in order to get their work done and would have to charge their clients enough to cover the costs. 


Well, I am not positive, but the way I understood it--sm
was that the bill *strongly encouraged* physicians to upgrade and make paper medical records available on some type of electronic system so they could be accessed by computer. I do not necessarily believe that all doctors are going to be *forced* to use the EHR system for transcription...just so the records can be accessed on line by any physician anywhere. that is all. but that is just my understanding of it and again, I could be wrong. Sounds like she was just trying to scare you! She better be careful, maybe they will sign a bill allowing for robots to take over all nursing professions too. lol. j/k.
What is not understood here is unlike some others,
I am not in the situation to where I have to work, do it now because I have just worked so long, could retire, really don't want to do that so I am satisfied with my salary- even at the 8 cent straight and 4 cents editing, bring home every 2 weeks over $1000 and that is fine with me, no bills, no young kids, no worries.
Okay. Doctors that cannot be understood. Does

I am an employee and that is the way I understood it too - nm

That's how I understood the sentence...
Units being the subject. I was QA'd today. I was marked off for spelling out HCTZ which is on the dangerous abbreviation list. I pointed that one out to my supervisor.
WE understood her just fine

You're just making yourself look really silly now. 


Yes, thank you, that's how I understood your post.
No specific reference to newbies was made.
I've never understood why some people consider...

certain jobs to be more important than others.  The old cliche "Any job worth doing is worth doing well" comes to mind. 


I believe that a person what does for a living doesn't have any bearing on how valuable that person is or how important that person is.  Some of the most wonderful people I've ever known don't have what some might feel are "important" jobs, but they are wonderful people nonetheless.


And, some people who have what some might consider higher class jobs (boy, I hate that outlook) are some pretty miserable human beings.


People are people . . . and their worth isn't tied to their job in my book.  I want to be a good person, and what I do for a job doesn't have anything to do with that.


If a store manager is a good person, doing a good job, he's  to me. 


I wish some people would get off their high-horse! 


I started posting as a former bank manager in a thread about consumer credit counseling.  It seemed relevant at the time. 


True, you understood me perfectly. (sm)
And some education in communication.  Apparently, they are not looking at the whole picture and if they stepped out of the business they would be able to look at things from outside of the golden cuffs.
I never understood why NASCAR is the biggest

to watch cars go round and round and round and round for hours, days, weeks, months, years.......I get the gambling side of NASCAR but I don't get that it truly is (and IT TRULY IS!!!) the biggest spectator sport out there.



Haha...I read it once and understood exactly
what she said. She didn't get the face lift.
Understood. Sending a smile your way for a better day. nm

Believe it or not, only now I understood what you really meant in your post,
you meant that she should pose as an Indian, then she would be hired, that's funny!
I don't add it to the beginning as the noun is understood, especially if it a verbatim
account I would not change it.
I've always understood a CC to be an exact copy

I hope I understood your problem correctly:
You have on the back of your computer only 1 USB port for your footpedal, no serial port.
Your footpedal has a 9-pin plug, a male one.

What you need is an adapter that has on 1 end the USB plug to be put into the USB port on the back of the computer tower and on the other end a 9-pin plug (female) for your foot pedal.

After you connected these, you have also to set the right footswitsch option in your computer:

Click
control panel/footswitch settings/USB port.

Hope this helps.
No, you're not missing anything. I understood it to read the same thing.... nm

If it looked like a guess, I totally would have understood, but it doesn't.

Then you shouldn't ben an SE or an IC. We all....
have to make the choices and or sacrifices that provide us with what we need.  You may need to find a job that provides benefits, as opposed to living on the edge regarding medical care.  If that means you work a rigid schedule because you're an employee, giving up the flexibility of being an IC may be necessary.  I did the same thing myself.  Canadian health care stinks.
They shouldn't be able to do that.

We used to rent and went through that.  I've worked as a housekeeper before, so I'm anal about cleaning.  Security deposits are for damages only, usually not for routine cleaning.  We had landlords try to charge us for many reasons, but there are Landlord/Tenant laws in each state.  In my state, the landlord has to notify us that the unit is not clean enough and give us time to clean it up before they can withhold from the security deposit.  If they don't notify you, your deposit is fully due to you.  They also have to give you an itemized list of specific charges, not just general cleaning.  I always took pictures before and after, too, just to prove that we left everywhere clean.


We had one altercation with a landlord in a basement apartment we lived in.  The foundation was cracked and leaking, and the ancient threadbare 1950s carpet got stained with water, moldy, and mildewy, so we tore it out and replaced it with remnants.  He tried to charge me for recarpeting the entire basement apartment.  I took pictures, though, and threatened him with a lawsuit of my own for providing substandard living quarters, failing to make repairs, and withholding my security deposit.  He tried to bully me by telling me that he had never lost a case, so I turned him in to the county.


Go to Google and type in your state name with "Landlord Tenant laws" and "security deposit" to see what it says.  Then call an attorney for a free consultation.  Send a demand letter for the funds owed to you.


Maybe I shouldn't say this but
Uninstall it and reinstall again, see what happens.
shouldn't have said it was better lol
I keep getting all lines are busy please try again later or We are sorry all circuits are busy now please hang up and try again 312506.
And I thought monday was over,,,,,,my bad!!!
Shouldn't we use ml instead of cc?

He shouldn't try to think.

No, you shouldn't do that. sm
I have always read NO, do not run 2 antivirus programs at once. I run Spybot and Ad-Aware along with my main antivirus (I use Avast), but you should not run 2 main antivirus (such as Avast or AVG) programs together. I don't know what PC Tools does so I don't know specifically if that is okay to run with AVG, but I would advise checking with AVG before you do anything.

I find that using something like AVG and running periodic Spybot Search & Destroy and Ad-Aware scans, plus using the immunize tool in Spybot, works well and keeps my PC free of pests (along with firewall, of course).

Just my opinion, but a lot of the "do-it-all" programs end up slowing down your computer with extra features you may not even need or want. Half the stuff they bundle isn't even necessary since many browers and ISPs bundle the same functions in their software. Therefore, you might be wasting memory resources on something you already have adequate protection for with your browser/ISP. You can compare it to medicine designed for cough, congestion, and allergy - if you only have the cough, you really don't need the congestion and allergy medicines so why buy the multi-formula med and subject your body to it unnecessarily when you could just get the cough med and be well?
shouldn't have to
you can program any key to anything you like.
and shouldn't that be...
MIIIIIIINE?

Hehehe. I'm in a mood today.
What I wanted to do but never did (and probably shouldn't)
I always wanted to tape record about 20 minutes of the yapping and then play it back right outside when the neighbor had a window open, preferably in the middle of the night!
I probably shouldn't bite, but (sm)
Almost $30,000 (including July SE bonus).

Medquist.

Shift differential.

Incentive bonus (over 17,000 lines/pp) met 50% of pay periods.

Quarterly bonus for SEs (at least $500 per quarter).

Work 40 hours per week, sometimes more if I work an occasional weekend.

Two kids at home, over 17, but neither drive (boo me).

No husband or boyfriend.

I have as much of a life as I want.


shouldn't you ask your employer

Shouldn't an employer pay

Not doing that is what has made the world go upside down right now.


If I am paid 7/cents a line and my cost of living is based on 12/cents a line plus


benefits, it's almost impossible to keep working for that company who is paying


7/cents a line.


It's pretty simple.


America still demands that we live an "American life style - no sh^t in the rivers, building codes, codes on how many people can live in a dwelling, high insurance rates, etc etc"


well, paying all that and making what a company is paying a peoples who don/'t have those demands is insane.


It's a simple question to our leaders?


Do you want us to live like the third world country? or do you want to give us ability to make salaries to pay for the LIFE STYLE America is demanding we do.


Frankly I'm sick and tired of paying for free loaders of any color.  When I saw Laurie Duh (don't know how to spell her name) on Fox yesterday report that one of the homeless from New Orleans........went out and bought a LOUIS VUITTON PURSE


with the $2000 she got..........I STARTED SCREAMING and if I could have gotten my hands around the neck of the idiot who thought it was a good idea to give these people the money in the first place I would have strangled him.........and then I would have done the same to the woman who bought the purse.


I'm sitting here in pain from a bad tooth and no insurance.........and she bought a purse.........LOUIS VUITTON.


p.s. Billfolds in Louis Vuitton start at around $600 and the purses are around $1500 to $5,000.


 


You shouldn't be surprised
Anybody can get a husband.  You are a perfect example of that.  I'm not going to settle for just anybody like you did.  Just in case you couldn't tell, I have standards.
You shouldn't be ashamed..

So what if it's not the South of France.  As long as you had a good time and enjoyed yourself, that's what it's all about! 


I have done a lot of traveling, and I can tell you the best vacation that goes down in my memory book is going to Sanibel Island, Florida - surf fishing, catching fish - swimming in the ocean - and kicking back wtih my honey with a Mai Tai.  We sent out to dinner at lot at some really nice restaurants there, but the best was steaks on the grill the resort had available there and a great bottle of vino.


I hope you get to Myrtle Beach again and enjoy yourself. 


(High Five To Ya') 


But they shouldn't be able to make a law on it.
I find it ridiculous! This is just my opinion though, and not going against any of the others.

Unless they are going to make a law that is has to affordable for people that is!
