Leuden affect / luden affect

Hi.  I am doing the H&P portion of a dictation and it states that the "Leuden affect is appropriate".  Has anyone ever heard of this? Leuden or Luden.  Thanks for the help!!

You can replace the 2007 Normal.dotm with your old normal.dot file. sm
Open the old normal.dot in Word and save as the new file format.

The easy way is to load the oldest version first and then upgrade.

I'm completely normal and met my normal husband online. sm
I also met casual dates online (read: real social dates, NOT sex hookups), and all were completely normal. I wasn't meeting who I wanted to meet in the other traditional ways (church, through friends, at work, etc) so I looked online and found someone whose sense of humor shined through in his writing, and that is who I eventually married after 2+ years of traditional dating. We are both college grads, gainfully employed, financially stable, non-perverted, normal people. BUT, I did have to sort through a LOT of personal ads, as there are certainly plenty of oddballs out there, as well, just like in the outside world. :-)
It depends on my mood.

I like classical, instrumental, Celtic or New Age if I need to relax.  Rock, pop, 80's music, techno dance, or fast country if I need to get revved up.  DH got me a new stereo for my birthday, so I can put in 5 CDs at a time.


not in the mood to troll lately?

Is someone in a bad mood today?
nm
Either, depends on the day and the mood!

My doc took me off of HRT because of the mood swings. sm
He put me on Elavil instead and the mood swings are gone. My poor husband. Put up with those mood swings for 15 years..... Needs a halo.
Here's my take (I'm not in the mood for bashing, either!)

I enjoy belonging to AAMT because they keep me informed about what is going on in the industry. I live in a rather rural area and we do have a small component chapter in our area which I also like, as it helps me stay connected with people in this profession in my particular area (networking).  Our meetings are not held on Saturdays, so the other poster who said that may have experienced that, but not in my area. 


I do enjoy going to the symposiums--they are not that expensive and I learn a great deal as well as network with other people in my state.  That is priceless, in my opinion.


I also like being involved with a professional association, as I take my profession seriously and want to associate myself with the professional association, and AAMT is it in that regard.  If there were other choices, I might feel differently. 


Are they perfect?  Heck, no!  But, the members do elect the people who make the decisions and therefore I feel my voice does get heard.  Do they always do what I want?  No, but no organization would, as everyone has different opinions. 


I think it is a personal choice.  I've been in MT for 25+ years and a member of AAMT for the past 12.  I make a very good wage, and yes, I do get compensated for my CMT, though I understand many do not.  I am proud to be a member and plan to keep up my membership as long as I feel my needs are being met which is networking, continuing education, etc. 


depends on what mood I'm in

Boy aren't we in a mood

I have too much time on my hands for asking for opinions, yet you are perusing the forums using your TIME?  


When you see a company who posts for jobs nearly every day, you wonder anyway what the deal is and this HUGE company with a person making such disgusting statements might have wanted to know why they aren't able to hire and cover the accounts. 


 


 


Question for those who think the mood here is
Is this how a conversation would go face to face? Would it degenerate into calling one another immature and letting out a great bit yawn, etc? Wouldn't we have a little more restraint when we gave our opinion. I just don't get that part of cyber-communication.

normal? Normal means you have a.....S/M

There is no *normal* in this life..........


There ARE conformists and nonconformists but normal doesn't exist. Sorry. 


You must have a preconceived idea of what *sanity* is, eh?  *lol*


I'm not in the mood to do battle with a person
who thinks they have all the answers.  Suffice it to say that obviously you don't  have any insight or answers or you wouldn't have issues where you sit and call all others "fools" because they don't agree with your opinions/solutions/problems.  This world is just to big and interesting with so much to learn to do battle with a smug person who thinks they know it all.  Simply put, carry on in your IMAGINATION that you got all of us MQMTs and we are forever conquered by your great wealth of knowledge on the proper way to post and handle MQ problems.  In other words, WHATEVER  floats your boat queenie.
sorry to wreck your holiday mood
but i personnally like to be aware of what is going on around me. We can be thankful on this 4th of July that we are still free -- obviously, many in this world would like to change that. We all need to remain vigilant in our awareness, preparedness and voting for the politicians who will be mindful of our enemies.
ASR funny to lighten the mood...sm
Must be the bitter winters. LOL

 

Allergies/intolerances - sulfa and Minnesota. 

Should be sulfa and Minocin. 

DUH? Thats common sense. Not in the mood that day, so chose to be

My sincere apologies. Was just in a goofy mood
and it struck me funny. Sorry.
I hope tomorrow's better, too! Bad mood today!

What I SAID was, "...there is NO WAY that can't have any affect...," and I ...

stand by that.  Sure, an MT under the influence may get it right, but I certainly would never want to take a chance on that. 


It's all about resposibility and realizing the critical nature of medical transcription.  As an MTSO, I would not want an MT drinking while working.  Period. 


If I hired someone and found out they drank while working, they would be out the door. 


 


it would be affect as in...
Rheumatic fever can affect the heart.

Your sentence would be:
Further bleeding, Per Dr. ___, will affect a hyerectomy.
affect v. effect
Effect is noun in the instance noted. Affect is a verb most of the time. Anything else?
Affect/effect
Affect can be a noun in psych - patient having a "flat affect" - no expression. Effect usually is used as an action word and in this case it is effecting a response or a cause.
effect or affect?

Here is a rule of thumb my boss taught me: 


Affect - (a verb) "to change or alter".


Effect - ( a noun) "a result".


You will very rarely use "affect" in the context of a sentence, but it will come into play every once in a while.


what makes you think it will affect us?

affect/effect

Affect can also be a noun, as in "patient's affect", effect can also be a verb as in "to effect a result".


 



your affect has an effect.
Does this person think that English usage doesn't matter in MT work?  Some of the worst medical errors got that way by misuse of plain English words.
Affect/Effect
Effect is not always a noun, and affect is not always a verb. When you "effect" a change, effect becomes a verb. When someone has a flat "affect," affect becomes a noun.
Affect vs. effect

Hopefully this will help, although I guess everything is subject to interpretation: 


AFFECT is a verb meaning "to influence" or "to pretend or imitate".  EFFECT can be a noun OR a verb.  As a noun, it means "result".  As a verb it means "to produce a result". 


In your particular sentence, it is being used as a verb...so which one to pick?


Without knowing the rest of the record, I would have to go with "effect" because I'm guessing (again..limited knowledge) that the doctor is indicating that if the bleeding doesn't stop, he has to do a hysterectomy.  If the hysterectomy has already been done, or it is planned, than surely, further bleeding could "affect" the planned surgery or something that happened during the hysterectomy.


Without more information, it's a crap shoot!... I'm sure that was as clear as mud.

affect/effect
To clarify affect/effect, here is what a friend said:(emphasizing the first syllable and pronouncing it with a "long E"):

"I affect the Effect"

This really helped me.
No perimenopausal symptoms? Mood swings? Crying? Forgetfulness? Lucky you if so. I started all that

you can be Sam-E solo and it is great with depression/mood swings. valerian root and/or melatonin b

Further bleeding per Dr. **** will affect a hysterectomy.

EXACTLY - it'll never affect me mentality.
I signed, sent to everyone I know and asked them to send it to everyone they knew.  Start believing we can make a difference. 
I believe the goings on in the industry affect us as MTs?
x
It will not affect MT's. I think the limit is 250GB and
the tech people with my company says an MT uses around 2GB/month.  Even if that is a conservative figure, still leaves you a lot of GB. 
Does anyone know anything about the new EMR system? and how it will affect MT's work? nm

Affect is a verb, Effect is a noun, DUH

Affect is a verb and Effect is a noun, DUH nm

Definately affect/effect! Hate those!

System restore does not affect documents, only program files.
You will not lose any documents you've created. Restore does nothing to the normal.dot or other templates.

Not normal
Actually, I love my company.  It's just that every year after the 4th it seems to slow down for a short time.  That's all.  I have been with many companies that this has happened at, small and large.  This is the best company and best pay that I've had. 
No I get normal...
That must be a different account they have many accounts I do a VA account
