CONGRATS to Glenda T. from Douglasville GA on winning the

Oh Brenda, there is no diagnosis for loving life and having fun. Get a grip, get a new Rx for your bifocals, clean up the slobber, and get out of that nursing home and wheelchair you have been in all day and have a good hearty laugh - ENJOY LIFE!
I agree 110% with Brenda. sm

I absolutely LOVE my Quicklook Electronic Drug reference 2008.  It has everything! One of the features I really find helpful is the "wildcard" search.  For example, if the doctor dictates the drug metoprolol, but all you can hear is the end of the word, "prolol", you can do a search putting in *prolol and every drug ending in "prolol" will be listed.  This works for me 99% of the time when I'm stuck.  Likewise, you can also use the first part of the word as well.


However, if it's a book you have your heart set on, Drake and Drake put out a great drug reference which is about the size you described you're looking for.  Good luck!


A pearl or other special jewlery? Weekend at a spa for the 2 of you? nm

Minnie--If your kids are grown, then you must be in my age bracket (an old timer, ha-ha). One hears so much about ''burn out'' and that this is a young person's profession so it is encouraging to read about your production. Like you, it was not a ''home''job when I started out and when I did come home years ago, I thought my production would sky-rocket but the reverse has been true--I think because I have been ''babying'' myself. Anyway, your posts are very inspiring.
Minnie- sm
I'm not sure if your repeated posts about MTs going into this field only to be able to stay home are specifically referring to my original post, but if that is what you mean, I wanted to let you know that in my situation, that is not the case. I worked for an opthalmology clinic for about 2 years and then for a small transcription service for about 6 years. My daughter was about 3 years old at that time. The thought never even occurred to me that I might be able to work from home one day. Frankly, I just didn't know that was a possibility at the time. But, I still loved MT'ing.

Then, when I became pregnant with my second child and started looking into other options to increase my income, I jumped on the opportunity to work at home for Medquist. So I have been home ever since. That was 8 years ago. Not that this is relevant, but I don't work for MQ anymore! However, I will be forever grateful to them for giving me the opportunity to be able to work from home, which is a huge challenge when you are accustomed to being able to call another MT over to your desk to take a listen to a tough word!
Well, I am a skinny minnie and can't do that
RA has a tendency to make you feel a lot older than you are.

Oh but I used to get my legs up there once upon a time. Those were the good old days, free of painful hips.:)
Minnie - Do you have a family? (sm)
I'm just curious - If you have kids, are they grown and out of the house now? I guess if I were alone 24 hours a day, my production would be out of this world as well. If you do have family still at home, how do you manage to keep them quiet while you are working? :)
Do you have kids, Minnie?

Minnie, you are showing your
ignorance. You must get off on bashing people? Are you that miserable of a person? I think it is safe to assume that you don't have much of a life, probably because no one can stand being around someone so negative. Grow up!!
But, but, but ... they always sound like Mickey or Minnie Mouse to me!
... at least on the speed I play them. :o>


Well, give Minnie a gold star. SM

Like or not, Minnie, some of us got into this profession because it allows us to be at home, run our households, and work at the same time. 


Minnie you have to be the angriest person I have seen on this board
What up with that. No one is whining. We are doing a job. It is boring as sin and we all have a life beyond this job, which you don't seem to have. All anyone doing is venting through some of the rough spots that we all have from time to time. Give it a rest will ya
