Rock band names (sm)

Posted By: ChuckM on 2009-03-30
In Reply to: The Meningismatics - I

For medical terminology as band names, I've always been fond of:

Stable to Rock
and
Uterine Cry (Goth, I think)

All MTs should band together
and do something (not sure what) about this! This is a disgusting tragedy. I was averaging $19 to 20 per hour and now that our hospital uses that Cheating MQ program, I can't even get 13.50 and am ACTUALLY GETTING MORE REPORTS DONE WITH THE GREAT DQS PROGRAM!!

So, the hospital is getting much more work for much less money out of ME. This has to change! I'm looking, though.
Lap band
Attended a seminar in Fl, cost is about 18,000, most insurance will not pay. Recuperation time is much shorter, can go back to work in 2-3 days, lose about 2 lb a week, if you lose too much band is adjusted - after about 18 months you catch up with someone who has had gastric bypass because their weight loss is mostly in the beginning.
S-marked band Is this right???

Esmarch bandage
I think the name of the band was "Live".

I saw an infomercial (sp?) on LAP-BAND sm

surgery.  It sounds pretty interesting--a lot less invasive than gastric bypass surgery.


Has anyone here ever had it done?  I wonder how expensive it is since I'm sure most insurance companies won't pay for it and whether or not it really works.

Here's 2 facts- the Lap-Band.....sm

The risks of the Roux-en-Y include organ failure and death.


The risks of the Lap-Band do not include organ failure and death.


I type this everyday for 2 years now so the facts come from the professionals and not me. 


 


Lap band surgery
Has anyone had this surgery recently.  My insurance says it absolutely will not pay for this but the surgeon says he can get approval from any insurance company with his documentation, do you think this is possible?  Has any one had an insurance company say no and then authorize it later?
Possibly Esmarch band?
Google is a good resource for looking up terminology.
Get a belly band. They sell them on e-bay! sm
There is a thing called a belly band. Breeders use these for their males to prevent them from hiking in the house. It is a band that goes around their belly and you put a mini pad or panty liner to absorb the "wee wee" They are usually between $8 to 10 and are machine washable and you can get the mini pads or panty lines for about $1 per package. I used doggy diapers on my girl puppies when they were small and also when they are in heat. They work great! I especially used them when we went to stay at a relative's house and she had brand new carpet and my shih-tzu was just a baby and not yet potty trained. Hope this helps you. Just try searching the web or e-bay for belly bands or doggie diapers. For a male, you want a belly band.
The band is Fuel, the same Hemorrhage he did
was by them.   I just wish this stuff would go away.  Good Lord there at thousands of things more important like AIDS, world peace, hunger, genocide. 
I agree. When my DD was in school band, I was better SM
about remembering Memorial Day, as she has to march in several parades. Now, it just seems like it is another day for everyone to drink.
The #1 reason to wear an arm band.

My doc says "I did a rectal exam to make sure we had the right patient". 


There has to be an easier way.......


 


When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.

Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.

Really soap-operaish and annoying.
Here are 2 good links for Lap Band forums. sm

Don't you have to have insurance to have the bypass surgery or the lap band? sm
It may take her more than 4 months to even get a start on checking into surgery.

My understanding is that you have to have exhausted all other weight-loss options before you can even THINK about surgery. Then you have to have psych eval, CPE, lab work etc. The BMI also plays a part as well as various co-morbidities. If she has until 2/2009, it may very well take that long just to get into a doc, surgeon, psych etc. and then the insurance company has to authorize it to boot.

Good luck Siren, I hope all works out well for you.
And I can become a nurse without training because I have experience in Band-Aid applications!! nm

The Band is awesome. Glad you bought the CD. Enjoy!!!!
:-)
This is a band new computer so I doubt it is full because if has a lot of memory so I am not sure
why I cant get into other boards or see them.
Just went out and bout The Band greatest hits and listening right now to the Weight.

I use a craft glove with an extra long wrist band
purchased at wal-mart and they help ALOT.
and what rock
They are the worst for stealing lines, line counter is always down, pay is whenever they feel like it, and the management is rude and hateful, not to mention demanding.
Rock On
Rock concerts are so invigorating..best one I ever went to was Springsteen in the 1980's..Santana's concerts are great, too..When I leave a rock concert, I feel invincible, connected with all the other *rockers*.  Elton John, what a musical genius..My favorite songs from Elton are Crockadile Rock, Candle In the Wind and Levon..I rate him up there with John Lennon, my forever favorite..Have fun and remember..**Party Hardy**..like it was your last day on earth.
Little Rock MT
Wow. That's great. It is so nice to meet other Ark MTs.
you rock! :)
I've been wanting to know this for the longest too.  Thanks for the info!
Rock On!
Midwest MT and MTinNC, you rock.

LOL @ "School of Hard Knocks." I hear you!
WAY TO GO!!!!!!!!!!!!! You rock!!! nm

You rock!
Thank you so much for that link.  That is going to provide a wealth of info.   I appreciate it very much.
Way to go! You rock with your bad self!! nm

You rock, Judy H
Very, very wise idea!
You ladies BOTH rock!....

Jodi and ta-shi--you both have done an amazing job!  My hat's off to you two!  PLEASE make sure you CHANGE THE LOCKS.  Once he's out of the house for, I think it's 48 hours, he can't legally come back.  So don't let him muscle his way back in!!


Congrats!!


Yea! You rock, Jodi

All of these posts are SO encouraging.  I would never recognize you as "bawling my eyes out" - you took the plunge and I can virtually see you getting stronger every day!! I am so happy that you found your power.  I just wish you could move closer to your family.  But your MT community "family" is always here for you.


We are so proud of you!!


You rock! Thanks for raising the bar! nm

Rock on MTStars
Thanks for the prize. I think it will come in handy for all those abbreviations they throw at us.
I live in Little Rock

Stedman's rock!
There are different specialties, but the Medical Speller put out by Stedman's is definitely a must-have. 
Rock On Patti
Agree - they are paying for your skils to create the finished professional product. Been in that situation myself -- told them thank you for your time, but I don't think this will be a good fit for my service. It just wasn't worth my time to "negotiate" every time the billing went out, and knowing they were probably looking for other services for cheaper rate in between billings. We've been in this business long enough to accept/decline clients because we have earned our good reputation! Good luck!
Hey RockinMT you rock!
Sorry your CC experience was a dud -- Nothing like OJT -- remember that not too long ago, people learned to be lawyers and doctors by OJT, as well as many other fields such as carpentry (apprentice-type of situations) -- and they LEARNED!
ROCK STAR!
WOOT! No really, that is an OLD dream of mine. Now I think I would just like to travel the world and explore it with my hubby. I am a culture buff. <3

I would also like to continue my self-education that I work on daily. I am trying to learn about everything because I want to know everything and understand the entire universe, LOL. :)

I would also like to be able to put everything together in order to do something that gives a LOT of people joy and hope along with personal power. What that something is, I do not know.

This thread is awesome. It really gives insight as to how different we all are. I love seeing that if we all had the freedom to do what we truly wanted to do, we would not choose the same things. It also shows that we certainly would not stop being "productive" if money were not needed or earned. :)

Rock Star INXS
Has anyone been watching Rock Star INXS?  Tuesday nights when they perform is great..Im telling you these people have talent.  Last night, Ty Taylor sang a Bob Marley song..Woman Dont Cry..I was rocking..I love Bob Marley and have most of his albums..This show is great and has better performers than American Idol, IMHO..plus there is also the added attraction of watching man babes, starting with Dave Navarro (oh..just love his muscles)..
All the Law and Order reruns ROCK
I've been disappointed with A&E lately aside from Law and Order.  The rest of that low-life crappola is neither artistic or entertaining. 
LOL ... 8 pm central, NBC ... but not in Little Rock or some town nm
in Indiana ... they are not showing it. 
under a rock....BUSH is responsible....sm

Your president Bush, whom you *sound* like you voted for...is most definitely responsible for fulfilling his family's nearly 30-year pact with the Saudi's at ALL AMERICAN WORKERS expense.  They had a deal from nearly 30 years ago and now the Bush dynasty is paying them (the Saudi's) back by selling ALL OF US OUT, including our  PORTS!!!  He has jeopardized ALL OF US due to his NEED/WANT for global acceptance of HIM.


If you cannot *see* this - time for you to get some serious help.


Thanks MTStars!!!! You guys rock!! nm
:-)
Flat screens rock!

When I worked at a hospital that had regular computer monitors, by the end of the day my eyes would be really tired and I usually had a headache, no matter how I tried to adjust the brightness/colors/fonts on the computer.


At home I have a flat screen and even after working all day, I could come home and chat literally for several hours using my flat screen and my eyes would not be tired at all.


I highly recommend them! I have a ViewSonic 17", which is plenty big enough for what I need, which includes transcribing, internet, some Photoshopping/graphics, and playing computer games like Freecell and Scrabble for relaxation.


Ergonomic Keyboards Rock!!
I absolutely cannot type using a regular keyboard anymore. I freaked out last year when mine croaked and I couldn't find the same model I use at Staples. I finally found one at Amazon and had them send it to me ASAP. IF I ever get any extra money I might order a couple more to keep on hand in case of emergency.

between a rock and a hard place
We all know EMR is the future of this industry. Between losing jobs to offshoring and EMR we are being hit with a double whammy. Throw in voice recognition (I have yet to find a program worth anything) and we are definitely on the short end of the stick.

That said, with the market as it is right now (so many people looking for jobs), I would ask myself: 1. Do I like doing the account(s) on in current position? 2. Is the pay covering my bills?

With VR only going on average .03/.04 per line and not that many companies doing straight typing anymore, you could wind up worse off leaving and signing on somewhere else.

With more and more companies signing on to VR you might wind up with crappy accounts AND worse than crappy pay.

I am afraid we have to walk this walk if and until something changes in OUR favor . . . but I am not going to hold my breath.

My vote is to stay put if you answer "yes" to #1 and #2 above, BUT cover yourself and watch the boards for what is going on with different companies. That way if you need to make a change it won't be as stressful for you.

We need to stick together. Get ready . . . sending you a hug. Pass it on . . .
