Give yourself some credit.

Geez, at least give her credit for trying. At least, sm
if didn't work out and she had to go inhouse, at least she could say she tried. No harm in that, at least that is my opinion.
I do give her credit for that - she came a long way. (sm)
I know she does a lot of good for a lot of people.  I just think somewhere along the line she lost touch with "real" people.  I guess that's bound to happen, though.  I don't have a problem with the school in Africa, she can do what she wants with her "own" money.  I do think, though that a lot of times she takes credit for things she didn't really do.  Maybe that goes with the territory too, or maybe people really don't care. 
Go to myfico.com..they give you all 3 credit bureau sm
scores and they come within 1 to 2 points of your actual FICO score (what creditors look at).  I just bought a house and did months of researching credit scores, cleaning up credit, etc.  Another good site is creditboards.com.  They have everything!
give Hill credit for STANDING BY HER MAN...nm

I CAN'T STAND IT!!!! They give you a VERY FULL list of

different worktypes and then the STUPID dictator can't even pick the right one to use EVEN THOUGH she just did the SAME ONE previous to this.  YOIUOIUOIU:OIUJOIU:OIUJ:OIU





now back to work


I just ordered a Dell off the website on credit and was approved!!! Yay! Man, I love the web!
It will be delivered by the end of the week!  I'm back in business and not so limited on options.  Thanks again for the advice! 
Love cardiology, hate podiatry. Hate discharges, but

That's funny, I *love* ER's. Also Ops, procedure notes. Can't stand anything LONGGGGGGGG. n

Oh yes! Cops love it when the neighbors interfere, stand around, gawk. Makes their job
Stay inside. Ask later, if you must.
great website for credit and credit cards, interest rates
great website
Has anyone used a credit counseling service to consolidate credit cards?
What was your experience?  Was it worth it?  Which ones are credible?
I love IT. Give yourself some time and
use the marker keys. You'll need to just slow down a bit at first, but the reward is awesome. I went from 45ish% productivity gain to low 60s. You really need to give it a good month with so many new things - marker keys, moving eyes, etc. I truly believe it's worth the money in the end. So slow down just a bit, the reward will be more lines for you. Also, visit the productivity talk forum. You'll find many great tips to help with shortcuts and commands, and the people there are wonderful when it comes to answering questions.
I'd love to give you some leads (sm)
since I was recently applying to find a second source of work.  Send me an email, Jackie, and tell me what you're looking for in a service.
I love my children and willingly give up a lot for them- however
I do not expect them to "do the same" for me in my old age. First of all, it is not the same. I get a great deal of fulfillment and satisfaction from raising my children. The only really hard work is in the first six weeks and then they are so darn adorable you can't throw them out the window anyway. I have never thought of raising my children as a burden - in fact, after 6 years of infertility, two miscarriages and two ectopic pregancies, I am grateful each and every day that I have two children. Now if you feel the same way about your parents - you are grateful to still have them, it's not a burden it's a joy to care for them - by all means you may choose to spend your time caring for them. Parents have had time to plan for their elder years and think of what arrangements may be satisfactory to them. I might add that no one in America loses all their money and ends up out on the street, starving for rice. But I think the attitude towards elder care is changing. I think many people are now willing to put their parents in the nursing home though there is still much angst amongst the Boomers for their "cruelty." A lot of "how could you after all your mother did for you"- that sounds suspiciously like a guilt inducer not a fair assessment of the situation. I owe my children nothing. Everything I have done/will do for them is done freely out of love. Therefore my children owe me nothing.
Yikes! I just took five minutes to give my doggie some love and a treat! What a crazy world!

CREDIT, everyone is living on credit, and from what I see
with a rather, 'might as well, we have no future' kind of attitude.

our credit cards are maxed out, we are buying gas, food (which I swore I would never do, how stupid - all that interest for food, yuck!), paying bills, and we would not have survived without them. now they are maxed out, and we are not making one bit more than we were.

glad things must be going so well for you, but look around in your own neighborhood.

the gap is closing between rich and poor. like it is in somalia, for example.

call us doomsdayers, but I call it protecting our own interests.

why is it the only people who are supposed to care about themselves are the rich?
I do not like cardiology as well. nm

cardiology
I used to type for a cardiologist that instead of parentheses would say "clothespin".
I am new to cardiology and wonder if there are
Thanks!

Need help from Cardiology MTs
I was just put on an account that has tons of cardiac reports, lots of echos and cath reports that I have never done before.  Can anyone suggest good references or websites that can help me with this?  I'm having a hard time verifying guidwire and stent names.  I have 2 surgery books and Stedman's Cardiology, but I can't find everything I need to look up and I'm so overwhelmed.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
Is anyone out there transcribing for Cardiology?
Just wondering if it is fairly easy to catch on or a pain in the butt? I might take a position but I'd like to know if I will be able to handle it as a newbie? What do you think?
HELP! cardiology question

when dictating...He has a dominant _______ (circ) which is 100% occluded....colaterals for a AV ______ (circ)


what is circ? circumflex artery?


Capitalization of Cardiology
I was taught (and it is required by my company) that you capitalize a word not usually capitalized when it is used as an entity as it is in your example (used to mean someone in the cardiology dept). A good example is when a doc says "An orogastric tube was placed by Anesthesia" you would capitalize anesthesia, as it refers to a person and not "the thing" of anesthesia. If not capitalized, it calls to mind some kind of anesthesia (endotrachial, perhaps?) placing the orogastric tube. Capitlizing it adds clarity.
Cardiology MTs will laugh at this

I found this on YouTube yesterday and wanted to share. It's done by med students and is reall well written and funny. I don't do cardiology, but still got a big kick out of it (and learned some things).

Cardiology is my favorite specialty (sm)
I can't say why, though. I just like the terminology and it just seems like it's easier to look things up maybe?

Be sure you have a good cardiology book. It will be helpful, but if you do caths and PCIs, etc. there are new instruments and stents that come out like it seems every minute, so having a few good cardiology sites and knowing how to search the web is a big help.

I ENVY YOU!! And good luck!
I've been doing Cardiology for 7+ years -
and have been thinking about changing as the company I work for is beginning to send things overseas.  What company is hiring for oncology?  I gues it wouldn't hurt to inquire.  Thanks and good luck to you.

Yep, cardiology here, too! Used to hate those super long sm
op notes but found I got great lines with them! Now, I can't wait to do them.
Need tips on being productive with cardiology procedures
Thanks
Good cardiology info site?
 
No credit card is a good credit card.
Just kidding. I'd suggest not using credit cards to pay debts. It'll only dig you in deeper. Look into a signature loan or putting a lien against a vehicle or house. Lower interest rate, pay off sooner.
Hardest: Dental surgery. Easiest: Cardiology, OPs. sm
Most interesting: Psych.

I think it's generally whatever you get the least of that you'll find the hardest. I used to hate OPs, GI procedures, and cardiology, but eventually got used to them and found they are repetitive (aka good money makers!).
Cardiology and sleep study transcription questions

I am looking for other Transcriptionist that have cardiology and sleep study backgrounds. I am a newer MT, I am starting a cardiology and sleep study transcription account next week and have never transcribed for this specialty.


I wanted to know if there are specific word books or websites that you find helpful and are there specific things that you could tell me about the specialty that may help me?


 


I would appreciate any feedback


Thanks,


Angie


Cardiac Clinic - no do not capitalize; Cardiology - yes as it is referred to as an entity. nm

you don't put your family at risk by taking in strangers. That's just plain foolish. There were over 3300 registered sex offenders in NO. Where are they now. In your community? Perhaps in your house? Good luck.
oh our lovely government does give illegals medicaid, foodstamps, and housing so in term we give tha
i have been through some rough times lately and had to apply for some help. there are signs, big signs, all over our offices saying "YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE LEGAL TO GET HELP". so we and our government do give them our benefits whether they are legal here or not. now that is messed up. i am helping to support them so they can take away my jobs and i can't even support my kids and yes i get benefits, wow $75 a month in food stamps which lasts not even a week in a household of 6. don't get me wrong, i am thankful for any help at the moment, but i get penalized for trying to work my tail off and still can't survive.

there was recently an article in our local newspaper where one of our local school districts tried to charge $1000 a year for each illegal student enrolled. it was bulked and the illegals got a lawyer to sue for discrimination. the school district merely stated that they had to HIRE extra teachers that could speak the foreign language just to teach these children and were trying to offset some of the expenses. ridicilous!! so again our taxpayers money is paying to educate illegals as well.
The Dorland's Cardiology Word Book is good, too. Might find books at half.com even if a few years

Aw come one give her a break. She said she was sorry and is willing to refund. Give her a chance to

do what is right.  If she fails to do what is right, then go about this in an adult way and not act like such a child.  "you suck"  That is so immature.


She is responding to you and you are eating her alive.  Why would she put herself out there to be treated like this if she didnt mean it. 


I am really astonished at how people can act on here.  Would you treat people like this in person?  If you do, I cant imagine you having very many friends. 


Remember we are all "HUMAN." 


 


They will put this on your credit

Please get them to explain to you that this does affect your credit in a similar way that a bankruptcy does.  After having this explained to me, I filed a Chapter 7 and was done with the problem...no payments to anyone (other than the attorney). 


I was able to immediately (upon discharge 3 months later) get secured credit cards and purchased a new vehicle after 12 months.  Best move I ever made.


credit
www.creditboard.com

Cars and homes can be purchased 1 day out of discharge.
thanks, but the credit goes to......
the--ahem--offshore MT who actually transcribed this. I don't think it's an urban myth.

getting credit for CCs
I guess really I don't care what the client wants, necessarily, I just want to know if we get paid for those Keystrokes if we do have to add physician names and addresses to the CCs.
consumer credit
i don't know about them, but CAmbridge is a good one. They pay the creditors on time and are always in follow up with you. They do, however, charge a fee but it's not too great of one.
Consumer Credit

I talked with them and there was a HIGH fee for them handling my payments.   Too high for me.  I talked to the credit cards directly and worked with them.  I think my payment to CC would have been about $70 a month.  Also through them, the interest rate was lower, but the payment was higher as they do a percentage of the balance.  But now that the credit cards are doing higher minimums, more people are going to be in this situation.   I did go throught Trinity Credit Counseling and my fee to them was only $25.  So you need to check around.


Just my two cents worth.


 


 


Credit not way great...sm
I have a pre-pay credit card; it's a Visa. The bank account, well, we don't have one, but I could give my mother-in-law's; she let us deposit in her account before, no problem. This is such a great idea. I hope this all works out. Thanks for the info!
credit cards
Don't charge unless you can pay the piper.
