    Will U still need Paul McCartney Sunday when he's 64?
    Will U still feed him? Grandchildren on his knee - Vera, Chuck & Dave...
    Anyone seen Paul McCartney in concert this summer?
    If so, how was it?
    I use ASS for associate...

    I have several docs that always say "consultation with GI, Dr. Pooh Bear and associate" and when I am in a hurry, I get the A and the I turned around. 


    I sometimes have trouble when I am typing a regular e-mail because of all the "shorthand" I have for working.  I just type a w for with, wh for which and I find I do that when I'm not working as well. 


    You are a Business Associate...sm
    and as such, it is appropriate to trust you with this material. It's like the clerk at the bank seeing your account number on your deposit check and seeing your account balance when she deposits your check. You are within the system, processing information appropriately. No HIPAA violation there plus patient identification is there for accurate record keeping. Would you rather have them guessing between S. Smithes or seeing which one lived at which address with with DOB?
    Why? Do you associate them with elderly women? sm
    The hot names today, Ashley, Brittany,Taylor, etc., will one day be associated with old, overweight women and thus be considered ugly, elderly names. Better to stick with classics like Elizabeth, Mary, Sarah.
    I didn't know there was an associate degree for
    Guess we do learn something new every day. How long did it take you to get this degree in MT? Did you go to college or tech school? If you have an associates degree in MT, you should be overloaded with job offers, I'd think...
    It's not the name that matters. It is who you associate with a name that makes it beautiful

    Associate's Degree in Medical Secretarial Science - sm
    2-year program with emphasis on transcription.  Terrific - wouldn't have learned it any other way.  Taught me to be a good MT - not these quick-fix on-line programs where everyone things they can early a huge salary as soon as they are done.
    Does this mean you don't have a business associate contract/agreement in place with your doctors

    Kids are grown and gone and I no longer need to be home all day. The cats don't need as much supervision as the kids did.
    It wouldn't load with my Office. Somehow it wouldn't "read" my 2003 Basic, although sm
    technical couldn't find anything wrong with my software. They really tried hard. I see so many people that like Escription, I'm sorry not to be able to use it. Hopefully I can get Office Pro on my next machine, and maybe use it then. I could upgrade, but I'm still not sure it would work.
    Seeing Paul!!
    Getting ready to leave for NYC to see him at MSG. I'll be front row!!! Can't wait. I'll let you know how it was when I get back.
    I think Paul Newman...

    Has aged the best of all, nearly 80 and still a hottie, unlike his buddy Robert Redford, whose face looks like an old leather bag! I agree John Trovalta should look better at his age, as he is not that old.


     


    John and Paul.
    I love them both as a team and separately.  Just think of all the wonderful music we lost out on because of Lennon's death. 
    Paul is still eye candy, even in his 60s. nm

    Paul Harvey

    I received this in an email and thought I'd share it. 


    Paul Harvey and Prayer  





    Paul Harvey says:  




    I don't believe in Santa Claus, but I'm not going to sue
    somebody for singing a Ho-Ho-Ho song in December. I
    don't agree with Darwin, but I didn't go out and hire a
    lawyer when my high school teacher taught his theory
    of evolution.


    Life, liberty or your pursuit of happiness will not be
    endangered because someone says a 30-second prayer
    before a football game.


     

    So what's the big deal? It's not like somebody is up there
    reading the entire book of Acts. They're just talking to a
    God they believe in and asking him to grant safety to the
    players on the field and the fans going home from the game.


    But it's a Christian prayer, some will argue.


     

    Yes, and this is the United States of America, a country
    founded on Christian principles. According to our very
    own phone book, Christian churches outnumber all others
    better than 200-to-1. So what would you expect-somebody
    chanting Hare Krishna?


     

    If I went to a football game in Jerusalem,
    I would expect to hear a Jewish prayer.

     


    If I went to a soccer game in Baghdad,
    I would expect to hear a Muslim prayer.

     


    If I went to a ping pong match in China,
    I would expect to hear someone pray to Buddha.

     


    And I wouldn't be offended.
    It wouldn't bother me one bit.
    When in Rome .


     

    But what about the atheists? is another argument.


    What about them?
    Nobody is asking them to be baptized. We're not going to
    pass the collection plate. Just humor us for 30 seconds. If
    that's asking too much, bring a Walkman or a pair of ear
    plugs. Go to the bathroom. Visit the concession stand.
    Call your lawyer!


     

    Unfortunately, one or two will make that call. One or
    two will tell thousands what they can and cannot do.
    I don't think a short prayer at a football game is
    going to shake the world's foundations.


     

    Christians are just sick and tired of turning the other
    cheek while our courts strip us of all our rights. Our
    parents and grandparents taught us to pray before
    eating; to pray before we go to sleep.


     

    Our Bible tells us to pray without ceasing. Now a
    handful of people and their lawyers are telling us
    to cease praying.  

     

    God, help us.  



    And if that last sentence offends you,
    well ... just sue me.  

     


    The silent majority has been silent too long. It's time we
    let that one or two who scream loud enough to be heard 

    know that the vast majority don't care what they want. It
    is time the majority rules!  

     

    It's time we tell them, you don't have to pray; you don't 

    have to say the pledge of allegiance;
    you don't have to believe in God or attend services that
    honor Him. That is your right, and we will honor your
    right. But by golly, you are no longer going to take our
    rights away.  

     

    We are fighting back...and we WILL WIN!  

     


    God bless us one and all ... especially those who denounce
    Him. God bless America, despite all her faults. She is still
    the greatest nation of all.  

     


    God bless our service men who are fighting to protect
    our right to pray and worship God.

    Hi, Paul. Appreciate hearing from you/him directly.) SM
    Anon, I also love this product; Paul and Ben did a great thing producing it and I'm grateful. I can't say why I like the platform so much except that it pretty much doesn't make me think about it. The work's in the reports, not fussing with the system. With one big exception as far as I'm concerned--it really needs a wild card or at least a better search feature for practitioner's names. That's often a major time waster.

    I also like it so much because I find I'm faster on VR. It turns out I have a knack for editing, while I'm just a mediocre typist; others are obviously discovering the opposite. I certainly don't feel the disconnect from the dictator's meaning described by another editor. I confess, although many "hearing-it-wrong" mistakes are made by eScription (enough to make me needed), I've come to have a very healthy respect for its ear and listen very very carefully before overriding its reading.

    That said, I'm unfortunately soon moving on to another, untried platform. My old account was offshored, like other eScription accounts with my employer before. I've heard the profit margin with eScription is just too low to compete with local editors. Sad reality???
    There is one - Ron Paul - and he does walk his talk. nm

    Ok, so maybe Paul Harvey didn't write it, but
    Nick Gholson, a sports writer for the Times Record News';return true" onmouseout=window.status='';return true" href=http://www.timesrecordnews.com/" target=times>Times Record News in Wichita Falls, Texas wrote it and it was actually longer than what is being circulated through email.  Still COOL, no matter who wrote it! 
    I don't care who wrote it either, be it Paul Harvey or anyone else.
    and the way the majority of people apparently feel in this country who are sick of being made to feel that for some reason we must tip-toe around minorities and disregard our own culture.

    I'm sick of it and the person who wrote this article apparently is too.

    Paul. He's the cuteness! Wasn't he pretty much drug free, too?

    Wouldn't that mean that you simply wouldn't have to print out everything?

    sure she wouldn't
    I am sure that you will always have control over your daughter and her behavior, even when you aren't around.  And if she ever does act differently than you believe she would and has some serious consequences because of it, I guess you guys will just deserve it.  Right?
    I wouldn't
    unless you had been scammed by her. SOunds like plenty of people have already called, that have had real dealings. Up to you I guess.
    I wouldn't sm

    count my chickens before they hatch.  It's way hard to get a line count when you type a report or 2, sit and wait for an hour or 2 for another report to come up, etc. etc.  If you get 200 lines in a day at 9 cpl, why that adds up to a whopping $18.00.


    Good luck, you're gonna need it.


    I wouldn't, but that's just me.
    There are many ways to serve one's country. It is not necessary to be in the military to assume a role of protecting and helping your fellow countrymen.

    I would no sooner turn back if I had heard the story you speak of than I would if I was a soldier in Iraq amid all the suicide/car bombings.

    It's all about character. A soldier has no choice; it's his job; he has to stay. If a civilian will take the chance of being robbed of his material possessions to help those who are fighting for mere existence, to me that is a true American.
    I wouldn't let her do this!

    JMHO, of course, but your daughter's life is worth way more than what it will cost you to pick her up each day.


    New drivers, young kids, NO WAY; recipe for disaster.


    My daughter is 15, and her friends will all be driving before her, and she thinks she's gonna be riding to and from school with them---wrong!  I know it's hard and this seems much easier, but right now, I'd keep shuttling her home! She's your baby, after all!

    I am with the poster who says follow your instincts. You have the answers within yourself. Listen to your own gut feelings. You are there watching the situation. We will only inject our own beliefs, fears, and experiences. Plus we aren't there to see what's actually happening. You wouldn't post if there were not a valid concern. I wouldn't allow it just because of the germs. Even if I felt it was harmless, I would have him shower first before bathing with a female child. Just because of the possibilty of passing germs. I wouldn't bath with my daughter because I didn't want the possibilty of a yeast infection passing to her when she was an infant or toddler.

    That's just my opinion, however. You really have to listen to your own voice on issues like this one. Best wishes.

    I wouldn't
    I went with them for a short period of time.  I asked for PT to make sure we had a "fit" but they said they only hire PT.    I took the FT and for the first 9 days had absolutely no work, one report per day.  They said they couldn't give me a backup until I was off QA, yet I couldn't get off QA until I had enough reports.  Also they promise a training bonus on the first check and I did not get it and had to write to the Attorney General.
    I wouldn't buy anything until I know what the
    company I work for wants me to have. You could spend a lot of money on equipment you won't need. Another thing you might need is a C-phone or something like that, but some companies provide those too. Just wait until you know what you'll need for where you work.
    If you are IC, I wouldn't think so. nm

    My six-year-old still wears the Goodnites at nighttime.  I tried allowing him to wear underwear to bed, but it just interrupted his sleep and my sleep to get up change him, change the bed, etc., etc.  Sometimes boys take a little longer to be dry all night.  My nephew was that way and I remember growing up my brother was that way as well.  My honest opinion is why put yourself through lack of sleep for everyone involved.  My son goes to the bathroom right before bedtime.  Sometimes he wakes up dry, sometimes he doesn't.  I would be more concerned with staying dry and clean during waking hours.
    No I wouldn't.

    I've been an MT now for a year.  I went to one of the big schools and I have learned so much in the year I've worked.  Really, you may feel completely confident and ready coming out of your course, but it is so different once you are really working.  There are small details of this job that just cannot be taught 'in the classroom'. 


    Sorry, but it really is not feasible.  Even if you didn't mind taking a hit financially I'd not want to be responsible for the mistakes you will inevitably make as a inexperienced MT. 


    Also, even at a lower rate I would think most doctors/hospitals are going to see your lack of any 'real world' experience to be a huge red flag. 


    Another thing is that though I'm not running my own MT business, I'm guessing it isn't something you can just 'do on the side'.  If you can't quit your current job to work in-house you are probably not going to be able to have the time to run your own MT business.  If you are a sole IC for a doctor/hospital that means no vacation, no weekends, no nothing so long as that doctor/hospital has reports to be typed.  You'd be on call 24/7 for any stat reports, ect. 


    My advice would be to REALLY think about what you are considering doing.


    We wouldn't be
    We could not go into their country and do anything - so it is doubtful that the shoe would ever be on the other foot. I had a friend who tried to get work in Mexico as an MT - but she found that she had to learn Spanish - so she gave it up and moved to Alaska. Eskimo transcription.
    I wouldn't have known but...
    My neighbor came knocking at my door after the first plane hit and told me to turn on my TV. Just as I did the second plane hit. I moved the TV to my office for the rest of the day.

    You know what, though? My DH, who works outside the home, did not have a clue until I called him.
    I wouldn't do it.

    have anything else. My internet has never been down for technical problems, only a weather-related ice storm that knocked out all power for several days. What I like about it is that you don't have to have a tech come to your house; merely make a phone call and a tech will walk you through your problem right then and there so no time is lost. Most I've waited on hold was a matter of minutes. My modem did go out about 1-1/2 years ago, but they brought a new one to my home and got it up and running the next morning, as I recall.

    I have the most expensive internet, which is their fastest rate and wouldn't have anything else ($34.99). I would highly recommend it over any cable company! Good luck!
