It's my daughter (rcv'd AA in ང). She's helping a friend with (smsg)

the friend's final project in video production.  My daughter is taking the stills for it, which is allowed.  She is going to be mentioned in the credits and was wondering how it would look.  Her AA is in photography.


I do agree, though, it's not "that" big of an accomplishment in the everyday world.  Kind of like CMT... , although I would use that in something like a cover letter for a resume.

Hey, one of my friend's daughter
is a duck queen!
Your friend and your daughter both have been
felt up just because they are sooooo looney. No, take that back. Your daughter does not know, she is a minor. Lady, have you not heard of people taking advantage of others, i.e. as in sexually molesting them telling them they are supposed to ah, do a physical exam, feel your 17 year old minor's breasts. I have heard of women going to psychiatrist and being told they have to undress and they do. Where in the world do you get any common sense from? I find this so odd. I always spell liar with an A myself.
My daughter had a German friend and
her mom was the same way. I don't think is anything personal, just the way they are. I would try talking to her about things of her county..ask questions. Imagine you being there...you would feel a little out of place too.
Daughter's friend drove her car into a pond the first week she had her license! Let him prove him

Any MTSO would know that.... smsg

it takes a lifetime ++ to know it all.  The medical field is far too vast for anyone to ever know it all.  One can be in this business for 25 to 30 years and still not know it all.  I do believe, however, that a successful MT will do what he/she does best.  I know a lady who has been doing op notes for 30+ years, and she is very successful; but when it comes to the off-the-beaten path of op notes, she would have to stop and do some research.  I also have a relative who has been in the business since 1965, doing a wide variety of clinic notes, and you couldn't out clinic her, no way!!!  She has recently gotten into procedure notes - does them like a charm! 


On another note, these 2 ladies have done the good, the bad, and the ugly, but they have had enough sense and experience to stay away from those places that dish up nothing but the ugly and ugliest.  We all know they're out there, and there is no living to be made on that stuff!


1099 form? I did IC work for an MT company a few months (smsg)

in 2007.  Shouldn't I be receiving a 1099 form from them for tax purposes?  I haven't yet and am wondering if I should contact them.  I paid my quarterlies.  I thought the law was they had until 1/31 to send it.


If working in Word, autotext/correct can be used for free, but (smsg)
if you need a separate expander, then I recommend Shorthand.  I think their cost is reasonable, and it is user friendly.  I've used it for years, and it has worked in numerous different platforms, or if not directly compatible, I could convert my list either way fairly easily.  It, too, has a free demo period for 30 days.  Aside from Word's own autotext/correct function which is limited in its compatibility to a degree, you aren't going to find a good free one.
How about your husband tells the friend to tell his female friend to lose the #?

A friend of a friend is taking CareerStep - sm
she is under the misguided idea that she will be making very good $ upon completing the course (a friend of hers supposedly makes $55K a year). I told her no way, at least not starting out and not unless all the factors click together, i.e. good typing speed, good pay (not for a newbie), good dictators (unlikely) and dedication to working hard. I told her what I make after 5 years (16K) but that is PT and I have the potential to double that if I would push myself, not procrastinate so much (I web surf way too much) and work more than I already do. I am not a fast typist but am good at what I do. I will be surprised if she follows though. She told me she'd call me when she finished the course, I just hope she is ready for reality.
Thank you very much for helping everyone! nm

just helping
hold your anger
helping ...
I'd really love to do this, but, with my health, I never know if its a 'good' day or not, generally not. My plans this year are painting, it'll be cool enough, and should be rather entertaining with 3 little dogs sticking their noses in the paint LOL
helping others
when I can reach through whatever pain is in my life and help someone else, my pain seems to lessen
Thanks for helping me to get a different (sm)
perspective on this. Both of your responses made me remember just how often the docs do say thanks, or have a nice day, or wish me a happy holiday if I happen to be working on one. Think I'll just try to remember to focus on the good ones and stop letting the ones with bad attitudes get to me.

Thanks again for letting me get that off my chest--hope you both have a great rest of the week! :)
Ya ain't helping yourself
Tru dat is slang expression appropriated from the urban/hip-hop culture that even here nestled in the far far reaches of the midwest I am aware of, rating right up there with foshizzle and the old favorites 'dissing', 'blood', and 'groovy'. If you believe that to be a mockery of Southeast Asian pronunciation, maybe Curious did hit the nail on the head.
Your school should be helping you
to find employment. All the best MT schools provide job placement assistance. At the very least, your school should be able to tell you what companies seek to hire their graduates. It should be something your school is proud and eager to share with you. If no one is willing to hire graduates of your school, you might have to bite the bullet and get some further training from one of the MT schools that turn out job-ready MTs. Companies are eager to hire from those schools because they know what they're getting. Good luck to you.
thanks for helping. I still don't know what to do though. I can't hear V5.

I do QA also and agree with that QA - she is helping you really. nm

Helping U.S. MTs is exactly my thought.
I don't really believe that there will never be a need for U.S. MTs, but I feel this may open up a new market for U.S. MTs, giving more expereinced MTs a new avenue for their skills (at least that would be my hope). I appreciate your comments, they really help!
thanks for helping to describe
what I cannot - and Jim is the guy that I talked to, also.  I wanted to jump through the phone and kiss him when I finally found one to replace my old one.  I am so glad someone knows what I am talking about.
Thank you all for this! I appreciate your time in helping me! (nm)

Not very nice.

Any MT in it for recognition and helping humanity only?

Helping is one thing. Preaching is another.

thanks again for helping - makes sense

as he is in very close proximity to a lot of businesses and they are tiny places and may not be aware they are sharing and he gets it for free.  May have to take mine over and see what happens! 


I am so grateful that there are such smart and kind people here to help.  Thank you so much.  When you walk into a store you never know what ulterior motives they have in telling you what you need!


everybody needs a helping hand some times--sm
boy, are you coldhearted. Glad you are not my friend/relative/neighbor.
A helping hand, sure. Not encouraging MT to

I'm helping a local MTSO out who is in a bind.

He uses Word and my company uses WP5.1.   He sent me some templates and I can pull those up, but there is some header information with patient name, etc. that is shaded gray and I can't get to that to enter the information and I don't know enough about Word to know what to do at this point.  The MTSO knows even less about Word than I do and the MT that did the account is out for surgery. 


I hope I'm making sense and someone can tell me what to do or what to go to look for the information.   I've done straight typing in Word using templates previously and I have not had to do any formatting, so this is all new to me.


 


 


 


I have no problem helping people who deserve it
I welcome anyone from there who has gotten up in the morning and worked like the rest of us and was hit with an unfortunate run of bad luck, but when I see people taking TV's out of stores, shooting at the EMT's who are trying to help people, and crapping all over the Astrodome, no thanks.  I don't want them in my city or even on my planet.
In transcription for recognition and helping humanity?
Ummm no. Money.
It cut off my reply... I worked with one guy who was helping pay thru med school by transcribing...

Another "Google It" response! Enough already! Lend a helping hand.

Just so everyone know, I can ill afford 50.00 but that is what life is about, helping people (inside
I have no family, just 2 pets. I am probably going to be out of a job soon myself, but if I cannot help someone else then my days are numbered. $50.00 will not kill me. It is pointless to say she should have been prepared, evidently she was, she HAD insurance. If I can make anyones load a little lighter I can live on that at least 6 months. To know you are not alone in this world might keep someones hope to keep on keeping on just one more day, then my moral values have been enlightened. The key word is "morals."

I think sometimes we are getting as cruel and thougtless as the companies who want profits at any cost. They are teaching us that. We seem to be learning well by some of the posts to this person's dilemna. I for one am not going blind yet, although my mother did right before her death and it broke my heart as she loved to read.

"Compassion," what happened to that? So far at 63 I am still healthy. I have no insurance, I cannot afford $500 a month, but I can still offer help to a fellow human being.

Merry Christmas and to all a good night.

Yeah, I'd have to let them start helping with the cooking to learn some appreciation (sm)
"Sounds mean but I came from a family of 7 that had only 1 income and we ate what was put on the table and if we complained too much then we had liver and spinach the next night. "

That's hilarious! Your parents were smart! I grew up the same way, except that spinach was one veggie we liked, and mom only made liver twice a year because she hated it herself.
What type of doctor specializes in helping people gain weight?

I'm kind of baffled on what my mother should do, and I'm hoping that someone out there has typed a report on something like this. 


My mom weighs 78 pounds and cannot gain weight through diet.  She has seen several doctors, and they are not sure what she should do.  Is there a type of doctor that specializes in this? 


Her history is that she had a severe H. pylori infection.  When I was a kid it was so severe that her stomach ulcers hemorrhaged and she went into a coma for a while.  By the time H. pylori became an actual diagnosable condition, the infection had eaten away most of her stomach.  She went on antibiotics finally, but by that time she had to have the majority of her stomach, some of her intestines, and her gallbladder removed. 


She now eats quite a bit, but everything runs right through her.  She can't gain weight no matter how much she consumes.  She has tried all the protein drinks and even tried eating large quantities of trail mix with no results.  She can't gain weight no matter what she tries. 


She has seen several doctors and a dietician.  None have have offered any real solutions and all have questioned whether she is anorexic and just hiding it. 


Does anyone know of a clinic or hospital that specializes in this?  Are there any types of treatment for this? 


IMHO, helping humanity is along the lines of teaching, volunteering, nursing, working with

My daughter...
She was just over 2 when it was pretty obvious mom just wasn't enough! She was bored with the trips to the playground, the toys, the trips to the store, etc.

Her pediatrician told me she needed more socialization. A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME!! So I found a great nursery/day care at the local church and she just loved it. When I picked her up the first day, she told me I came too soon. Talk about hurt feelings!! I was in agony all day and she was having the time of her life without me.

Well, now she's beginning her second year of college next week and is totally bouncing off the walls... pretty much like she did when she was 2.

It's good your daughter can't wait. It may just be a sign of independence and self-confidence. Don't take it personally. They don't appreciate us until they have their own kids!!

Good luck to you and your little girl and you son LOL ;-)
If she were my daughter I'd tell her...sm
that I'd rather her be mad at me for making her ride the bus when she's sleep deprived than having to pick out her body at a morgue from an accident.

Frankly at 10 p.m. every night I'd take the cell phone away and make it clear to anyone that called that it is not acceptable to call after that time. Her friends will get the message quickly and will learn to respect your rules.

Too many parents this day and time are afraid to set rules for their kids to follow, but that's the parents fault. They need to remember who's the adult and who's the child and set/abide by ground rules. Studies show that the more parents intervene in their kids life the less likely they are to drink, do drugs, have sex or get into trouble with friends.
My 13 y/o daughter (more)
and I have gotten into the habit of taking the dog out and having a little walk around the neighborhood when I get off work at midnight. I'm going to miss that. I'm not having the "ready for her to go back" feeling at all this summer, but I have had the feeling in the past sometimes.
My daughter was 5.
She decided she was ready so she did it, and she loves them.  She is almost 8 now and she nor I have regretted it.  Personally, my sister was 3 and I was 4  when we had our's done.  I think it depends on the child.
My Daughter
I let her get her ears pierced for her 6th birthday.
My daughter was 11

She was allowed at 10 but was afraid. LOL. A lot of people asked me why I didn't get her ears pierced as a baby, but I just felt that was something for her to decide. She turns 13 in September and wants to get her second holes. I told her that I will get mine done too.


I just felt 10 was an age where she could decide and also take care of her ears and earrings. Everyone has their own opinion on this, I don't think anyone is really wrong. Good luck.  


My daughter was 8. nm
