Teething fever
My son used to get ear infections with teething. I'm not sure why, but maybe it had something to do with the swelling in his facial area blocking drainage. It also made for confusion if he tugged or held that area. It all looked the same.
when I was 12 I had my appendix out...I could not even walk...had a fever...

was vomiting bile.  The most painful memory was the doctor trying to lay me down on the table, and everytime he would try to straighten my legs out, I would sit up, when he would lay be down, my legs would go back up (haha), but I mean it was so painful the only position I wanted was a fetal one! 


If you have it, you would also have a fever, be vomiting bile.  Have you tried talking to the doctor, I mean, he told you it is not appendicitis, did he tell you what he thinks it is?  How 'bout going to an emergency care center (not an emergency room)?


Do you have a fever??  Gosh, hope you are going to be okay...


Oops! .. Fever few probably not effective for
headaches related to tension/muscle strain.
it is listed under fever, but the two words are

not interchangeable.


They made him lose 20 pounds for Saturday night fever, so he's always

Frankly, Scarlet ... LOL nm

omt's son with the rash
I'm half asleep - sorry - I posted a reply that looks like OMT replied to herself.

Rash
Could be Group B Strept. You might need a course or ABCs. Call your doc.
rash
my daughter developed a horrible rash under her arms that started spreading over her sides, went to the doctor 3 times and got creams, antibiotics, and steroids, nothing helped. we finally discovered it was caused by aspartame (Splenda), and went away when she stopped using it in her coffee. researching on the internet, this appears to be a common reaction to aspartame.
Anyone with similar rash?

I had posted this q. on the Gab Board before, but got no response, maybe because I worded the subj line wrong or maybe it was just the wrong board.  Has anyone had an experience with an underarm rash that may be a form of tinea?  This started w/me having an irritation 3 months ago from wearing an ill-fitting bra in hot, humid weather.  Since then it has gone from red to a brownish rash that is spreading to areas under my arms that was not originally irritated.  Any OTC treatment I could try before I make an embarrassed visit to my doctor?  TIA!


 


anyone with similar rash
I would try clotrimazole liquid twice a day as directed to see if it helps. Many times it is fungal and could be precursor of diabetes. If not better in a couple of weeks would go to doc.
could be a mere fungal rash - Lotrisone/Lotrimin.NM

I live in the Kansas City area and this summer we have had a rash of pit bull attacks especially

in the Independence, MO area.  The city governments have passed laws banning pit bulls and last week something like 100+ pitbulls were picked up by animal control or dropped off at the city pound and all were destroyed.


Personally, I think the owners of these animals should be held just as accountable as the dog.  Well, I guess maybe putting the owner to sleep is a bit extreme.


I'm so sorry about your lab.


I could swear I had one say
The patient is tolerating her clothes.

Had the boss listen and she agreed, that's what it sounded like.
That would be me. You are very welcome. I swear by it. nm

Nope...I swear - s/m

Deals that big cannot, CANNOT, be done in a sneaky fashion.  It just doesn't happen.  I worked in investor relations for many years before my stint in MT and I promise you, if you read the fine print and follow shareholder's meetings and the daily stock news, you should never be surprised.


Not directed at you, but sometimes I think MTs love catastrophic thinking.  It's simply not realistic in this context.


I swear I do not change my name. Seriously.
I don't lie. If you don't want to believe anything I say in other posts, believe this. I did not change my name to Zippy or Frankie Boy or any of the other people who are responding to me!
You swear to never have another surgery sm
because you know exactly what they will be doing to you.
some swear by, but I think my hands are too big.

Voc. Rehab. let me try one out when they were helping me get my ergonomics together, and I knew right away I could never get used to it.  I have rather "fat" fingers, though, and I think that was part of it.  If you have longer, thinner fingers, it might be right up your alley. 


You can rent one (which can then be applied to the purchase price, I think?) for awhile from this site to try it out, rather than outright buying it.

Are we allowed to swear? I can't believe that!
If that is the quality of the transcription they are getting back, how on earth are they passing audits with hospitals?

I just do not get it.
I swear they are skimming off us somehow.

How do you prove it though unless you are on the "inside" workings of the beast?  It's like the old Bugs Bunny where they were splitting up cash or something and the swindling character said, "One for you, one for me.  One for you, one two for me.  One for you, one two three for me...etc."



swear words in the spellchecker would be because(sm)
sometimes doing psychiatry notes (or any other for that matter) the MD will dictate exactly what the patient says.  If that quote contains swear words, the spellchecker will not pick these up unless it's been programmed that that they are spelled right.  It get's tedious having swears pop up all the time so they go into the spellchecker. 
I swear, the people who manage
this site should put a button right under  'main board' that says 'MQ Gripe Board' so that the seemingly hundreds of disgruntled MQ'ers can gripe and  argue all day long and the rest of us would be spared.  Every page of this board is filled with arguments between the MQ gripers and the few MQ folks who claim they are happy.  At some point you'd think the (MQ people) would realize that non MQ'ers don't want to hear this stuff every single day, all day long.
I swear I could hug you right now. Evidently my expander
left past the letter D and I was trying to replace because I have been using it for forever!!  Thank you so, so much!!!!!!!   
I swear a troll or someone just throws these Q's out to see
how close were paying attention to posts
I used to swear by Sylcount but recently
to Practicount. You get the same counts as you do in Sylcount but you don't have to save the files in the rich text format for it to work. I found it annoying to have to save everything in RTF and my version of MS Word would always ask if I wanted to save it in RTF, and I'd have to answer "yes" to two different pop-ups before it would even save. There might have been a way around that, but I found Practicount worked just as well without that bother so I switched.
I swear I had a neurology doctor

who would dictate into the late hours, sometimes almost hour-long dictations, and I could periodically hear the cork coming out of a bottle of wine...guess we are not the only ones that are tempted


I swear mine does a few lines... (sm)
And then sniffs all the way through the report, he is constantly changing his mind. You know how you can just tell when someone is "under the influence"? I would almost bet this account that this one gets all coked up before he picks up the phone! I have never done one of his reports where he is not trying to inhale the room in between sentences...
Yes, and I swear I've gotten viruses

from tech support screwing around.  I now have a new one, and no, I will never work on platform again or have anyone be on my computer through a meeting.  If it's not FTP work using Word, no way will I let a company mess around.


I think they do more harm than good! 


I swear, I just transcribed Bill Cosby! sm
you know that voice that Bill Cosby does, kinda sounds like he's drunk?  Well, this doc I just transcribed sounded like that!!! and it's workers' comp, no less. Just had to vent a little!  It's still too early for all this!
Hurry, watch the news & I swear

You will see my last dictator dictating from a chopper with at least 10 choppers around him, landing in the middle of a Rolling Stones concert notifying the fans that Mick is sick and won't be there


just don't know how better to describe this background noise that is obviously distracting to him...oh, please add,  oops change that...uhh, hmm where was I   I have a migraine now and I don't even know what one feels like and from the looks of my que, I'm going in for round 2


Sorry I did proof my post but I swear things moved around
Sorry for the typos. 
Well, my husband and I paid 58% last year in taxes. I swear! sm
I won't tell you our gross, but it's above average, we both work 70+ hours a week and we are struggling to pay our bills - parents of 3 young children.

I am scared to death of Democrats being back in office. GW at least wants tax breaks for families like ours. If the Dems are in office I'm afraid we'll be taxed more to help pay for people like my niece who had babies beginning at age 13 and has never had a job in her life. How can this NOT outrage anyone - yet I know there are people out there who tell me to get over it, it's life, those other people are 'entitled' to our money. It's absolutely vile and disgusting.
Some people swear by vitamins, calcium, low protein diet, Flexeril. (sm)
try a variety of things, cuz it could be so many things.
I am laughing so hard, I swear I fixed my 'pot' (for potassium) expander, and it came out pota
xx
Great post. I swear by both Advantage and Frontline Plus-- both work great! - sm
I don't know about "natural" approaches for the house. I have always used flea bombs in the past before the miracle of Advantage and Frontline changed my life. Have not had a flea problem at all since I began using those products about 10 years ago, dose all the dogs religiously once a month with the Frontline Plus except in Dec.-Feb. to save a few bucks and because the ground is generally frozen by then and no fleas are scurring about. -- Hope you get flea free soon.
