    the big bang theory and Darwin's theory of evolution are also extensively documented but
        
    In my book, if you can't pick up SM

    the format and the software fast enough to get off the initial QA period in 3 or possibly 4 days, you need to re-evalute your skills and possibly work for a company like Spheris-they have a mentoring program.


    The work you show a company in the first 3 days pretty much says whether you can handle what they have to offer or not.  I see people come through my company who claim to have never typed an ESL in their lives, are still using abbreviations like q.d. and h.s., expanding everything else like it's 20 years ago and more.  It's appalling.


    Make your life easier, pick which name to go by and have EVERYTHING match. sm
    yes, it's a pain to stand in line at the SS office, adn the DMV, and you have to fill out forms, but avoid all confusion which WILL arise in the future with a little effort now.

    Another wonderful book is "Your Best Life Now" by
    Joel Osteen. It is absolutely great!
    I used A Fujitsu Life Book the first 4 years, and just switched
    And pretty much my whole personal life is set up on my lap top, as well, and sometimes additional software for other services when I've worked part-time elsewhere. And I haven't begun to use nearly all the hard drive space. I have had one minor repair problem years ago, and it was a piece of cake to carry it to Best Buy, who flipped it open and fixed the problem on the spot. Lap tops rule!
    every question asked on here could be documented in some book. So? cant a question be asked?

    maybe you should pick up an extra account so you have something to do with all that free time OR
    get a job doing QA. You sound like a frustrated QA person.
    I second this suggestion. Just pick a time zone and let people know. (nm)

    If you have the time to get down and dirty with some low-life bad debt,
    As for me, I live and learn. Ever hear the phrase cut your losses. The more time you spend chasing down a bad debt the more loss you incur.
    5 yrs is a long time for monitor life......n/m

    I would be 43 and have no life at this time and wish I was making decent money, but not ;0( ...NM
    NM
    And if I fight every low-life who cheats, I won't have time to work.
    i don't deal with anyone without references when it comes to work. i learned my lesson and have moved on. i leave you to fight the battles of the downtrodden.
    Time to switch careers. I did and life is much less stressful.

    Not upset - everyone makes bad choices in their life at some time or another. sm
    No one is perfect. Hopefully, someone will give you a chance and your money and time won't be wasted.

    Good luck to you!
    Your daughter will be better prepared for life by having a part-time job now. sm

    Meanwhile, her BF will end up feeling entitled to everything she wants because she's being spoiled now. Hopefully your daughter will continue to work because she enjoys it...the money, the responsibility, the feeling of being a little grown up. Maybe it'll rub off on her BF. If not... well, rest easy knowing your kid is doing all right.

    Do you ever feel as though this job takes over your life and you have to work all the time in case
    there wont be work and you just keeping working and you cant get away from it and it gets to be no fun anymore. I am having a problem with that. Is it from working at home or just getting obsessed or what. I hate this. I feel like I am losing my life to it.
    let's do it, pick a day, nobody works, pick a busy day

    I would go get it documented...
    I bet tomorrow you are going to be very sore! I would just go to the ER for documentation and to get checked out.

    File that complaint! Even if nothing gets done this time, maybe if it happens a second time they will do something.

    How did this guy react? Did he say he was sorry at least?

    At the very least he may get a leash just to not get another complaint on him.

    Sorry this happened to you!
    Ask QA where that is documented sm
    I'd like to see what they say.  Both of those are 2 words, not 1. 
    only path, and this is documented, too (nm)

    I think the only reason she wants calls is so nothing she says can be documented in writing.
    no msg
    Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in

    Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
    or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
    IGNORANCE
    You should really keep your mouth shut about the situation here in Florida and elsewhere. These folks have been devastated, homes gone, jobs gone, these are everyday people and NOT WELFARE LINE recipients. Wake up and stop being so self-centered. When one day you slip into a bad situation you will be asking for help too. I all most fell off my chair when I read your ignorant, uninformed post. You should be ashamed and ask forgiveness and apologize to this board for y our inhuman and slanderous insinuations.

    Sorry for the ignorance sm
    I was using "anon" but not anymore since someone else has posted a nasty remark here. Why the nasty replies on here? I agree, this is supposed to be the helping profession. I think Cobra is only a bridge between jobs to help you with bennies but is only temporary, not sure of time, but this is the law and cannot be changed. I had to have private insurance just for myself as husband had his own on retirement but I was too young. I had to buy from a private Blue Cross through a group plan through the Chamber of Commerce in my area and so expensive. Big $$$ and no other way. I wish you the best, there is no real solution except to get into a job that offers bennies but sometimes you make more on your own and buying your own ins. Again, sorry some others are so mean, there are a few on here, unfortunately, that's why I chose to be "anon" before but never again! I am not  associated with that poster.
    Sorry about my ignorance here, but what does EMR really mean for the MT?

    Even if the system goes electronic, won't MTs still be needed?  Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question! 


    I would buy book by Dog Whisperer. His TV shows covers things like this and would think his book mi

    you are showing your IGNORANCE
    Apparently that is all you have gained from 'getting out, living and learning'.

    Knowledge of God is the beginning of wisdom.

    I hope you truly 'get smart' by the time you have to give an account for all you have done and not done to the One that made you.
    scuse my ignorance,
    but what's an SE?  Thanks
    Sometimes, ignorance is bliss....sm
    If I had known EVERYTHING about starting a business and listened to all the naysayers, I never would have done it.  Bought a computer, printer, fax, and dictaphone(no on line work then), and sent out letters, flyers, had cards printed, and knocked on dr. office doors to get my own work.  I pretty much knew nothing except how to transcribe and was very good at it, I thought!  Soon learned I was very good at what I knew but just as green as a newbie with new fields.  Ended up with a very successful service and 10-12 employees.  Supported my family and still do.  Big difference in being prepared now is having the capability to do voice files.  Eventually, you need a phone so your name is listed in the phone book and an accountant to do the financial stuff.  You just have to have the basic knowledge that you probably already have, and learn as you go. 
    Sorry, then, was showing my ignorance! :) nm

    showing my ignorance
    I did not know there were services like that, how do you contact them, what are they called?
    Pardon my ignorance but sm
    When did they start using flash drives and how? Most of mine don't know how to use the computer! Please share. Sorry for your problem, sounds like the office manager is gloating over this - it's their problem, not yours. Charge them for the lines find out how computer literate the staff is. They usually pay peanuts and get monkeys!
    They say ignorance is bliss. You must be a very ingnorantly

    Their ignorance doesn't hurt me

    as much as the ignorance of people who should know better - like our "supervisors" etc.  The only answer to nurses or anybody else who thinks like them is to give them a test tape and let them "have at it".  That's usually a good eye opener, or mind opener.


     


    Okay, I am going to show my ignorance, but don't you still have to have a foot pedal and...sm
    so have to be connected to an outlet? I know you can have that on your porch/deck, etc. but that does limit the mobility aspect doesn't it or can it be done without a foot pedal? I don't mean to sound stupid, but this is all new to me.
    Ignore them - pure ignorance on the subject

    Your obvious ignorance is not worth responding to, NM

    Guess I have to show my ignorance -- what is myspace? TIA nm

    I hate to show my incredible ignorance, but how do I sm

    find out what type of processor my computer has?  I know it is a Pentium, but I cannot remember if it is a 3 or a 4.  I tried System Tools, but that was of no help at all.  :(


     


    Thanks for your help.


    Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
    Oh bosh.  I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist.  I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about.  Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests.  High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive.  I have two other comments:  Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it.   It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now.   Contact American Mensa and find out.  They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond.... 
    Should I chalk your post up to just plain old ignorance, the fact that you can't read or SM
    are you just plain stupid!
    Pardon me, but your ignorance and obvious lack of class are showing.

    Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..

    Does anyone use both.  I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both.  I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know. 


    I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions.  I can handle that.


    I make sure the job is not my life and that it does not take over my life. sm
    I have been at this 25 years, even once had my own accounts and worked 24/7 with cat naps to keep going but no real sleep. I really burned myself out. Now I work a regular 40-hour week, but it is not my life. It is a means of making money so I can go live my life. I work for a company that is not all about production. They want us to take our time and do it right. I am doing that, and it feels so good to be able to work at my craft and be allowed to do a good job while I am at work.

    But after I get off, I have my family and I take time to have fun and enjoy life. I think that is the key to not staying burned out. You need down time, time to have fun, exercise, relax, etc.

    Exercise is very important, too. It rejuvenates the hormone system so you have more positive hormones flowing through your body and helps get rid of stress.

    That's what I do.
