Question about earlier
post. I see that one of you would not give your son's SS# to the high school. How would this work if you were registering your child for Kindergarten? They told me it was the law that they had to have it. Is that not true?
They were there earlier this morning.

Somewhere on this board earlier in the
past 1 to 2 weeks someone wrote that they had gotten the Antivirus 2009/2008 on their computer and that McAfee now has a service where they will dial in on your computer and repair it for $40 to $80 for viruses, spyware, hijackers, etc.; which is a lot cheaper than taking it in to a repair shop and dropping it off. I am not sure if you have to have a subscription or now to McAfee for them to do this, but would be worth checking out.
It went up to $2.29 yesterday, was $2.16 earlier this week...
I'm glad I work at home!
If it worked earlier in the document SM
the paintbrush on the toolbar - highlight a paragraph (including the paragraph mark itself) that DOES work, click painter, then click in the paragraph you want to reformat and it should add that tab (as well as any other embedded formatting in the paragraph you copied from).
thanks, you're right and right -- what's getting up three minutes earlier? (nm)

Hmm, my earlier post, which was quite polite, is gone now.
We'll be having DEER STEAK kabobs for dinner tonight, though!!!!!   MMMMM, Bambi on a skewer dripping with BBQ sauce.  
Could you start 1-1/2 earlier so you'll be done for the

like I said earlier...birds of a feather
geez! You call it reality. I call it rude and obnoxious. and if you think that's great, then you are one of her birds and I feel sorry for you.
Okay...um, earlier when you said you had accounts from Haiti.
I thought you meant you actually had clients from Haiti, like in the country Haiti. Boy am I feeling really dumb right now! LOL!
sorry.."an" earlier post...nm

I responded earlier to this poster
I am also an IC for a company I started with in March and confused as to why I would need a credit card for business purchases, etc.
and that I am not to worry about paying quartly? My accountant told me to do this and that was it.

I have only been taking 20% out of my pay and sending it in to the U.S. Treasury. Is that wrong? It sounds like I should be doing a lot more. A little confused and nervous.


I had the same problem for a short while earlier in the day

Me, too. I was going to post earlier, but didn't
have the energy. I had the twitching thumb first about a year ago, now aches and pains every week that move or migrate all over, too. Numb legs, butt that kills me - seriously, I nearly cry when I sit down or stand up. Then it moves to my neck, or shoulders, and then back to legs. It is horrible pain, and I'm getting really worried that I'm not going to hold up for this job much longer. Its so pathetic - sitting in a chair and falling apart. I was wondering if it could be fibromyalgia-type symptoms. Horrible. You are not alone! I have also bought so many ergonomic things - chair, keyboard, mouse "platform", and forget it. Oh yes, even lighting, and I still am in pain all over the second I sit down in this chair.
Had issues earlier this morning,

Sorry, didn't see this was already asked earlier but thanks:)


 


QA Help: Earlier I transcribed a report where
the doctor used a really offensive curse phrase.  He was actually quoting what the patient said (ER report).  He said place this in quotes.  It was a really ugly thing to say (mother F word).  Even though it's in quotes as what the patient apparently said, I felt uncomfortable actually transcribing it.  And believe me I'm no prude.  I've heard it all (and said some of it).  However, it just seemed really unprofessional and not appropriate in a medical document. It's not like it was a psych report.  In fact, it really had no relevance whatsoever, in my opinion, but I could be wrong I guess.  So,  I left a blank.  But now I'm thinking, was that really not my call?  Should I have just transcribed it?  What would any of you out there have done?  QA?  What do you advise in cases like this?  It's happened before but never as filthy as this.
I wondered that as soon as I opened it earlier, LOL.nm

Bankruptcy is not that bad- filed earlier this year and
bought a truck 2 months ago and I am currently working with Lending Tree to buy a house and hope to close in the next month.  So there is life after bankruptcy.
Also, if you can switch the hours you work, get up earlier,
and work after he goes to bed. Make the time for him while he's young. In about 3-5 years he'll be less worried about you working and wanting to spend time with you, so enjoy him while he's young cuz it doesn't last long. :)
The one I listed earlier does. Link inside....

Towards the bottom there is a pull down to pick speciality, and chiropractor is one of them.


I tend to agree with this. I was thinking this earlier--sm
when I read the OP, but everyone seemed to conclude that it was none of her business what the other employee did. However, in my opinion, if the MTSO found out about it from another source, and believe me, she would eventually, it could come back on the other MT as having known about it and said nothing. Everything in this world, these days, is a cover your butt situation. If you knew about it and said nothing, then you are just as much to blame as the one who was doing it....against the contract with the MTSO. Protect your own interests first, and do not worry about the one who is doing wrong. silence is condoning her wrong doing and that makes you (the other MT who knows about it) just as guilty. JMO. So, I guess I am on the side of the MTSO. Sorry.
I posted earlier about small print
Well, got that fixed and I be darned if now the screen seems to be flickering between pink and white. It is not just my eyes- driving me crazy and trying to work, almost impossible. i had tried several things including going into properties and trying to reset the font size. Can anyone else give assistance? I am not enjoying today. Thanks!
oops - never mind earlier question!
just read your answer!! 
Earlier Poster with Keyboard Lag Problem (sm)

I've been thinking about your problem and recommended some possible answers, but something else has been nagging at the back of my mind.  There is also the possibility of a keystroke logger that is intercepting your Keystrokes before passing them along to the screen. 


A keystroke logger can be a physical device placed between your keyboard and your computer, or it can be even be installed inside the keyboard.  It can also be a bit of software that intercepts and records keystrokes.  Sometimes this is a commercial application (like parents use to watch what their kids are doing online), but it can also come surreptitiously in the form of malware called a "rootkit" - which you can think of as a "supervirus" on your computer.


I suppose it's also possible that a spybot (another form of malware) could also be doing this.


Bottom line:  Be sure you're using good antivirus and antispyware software, keep them updated, open NOTHING that comes in your email that you don't specifically recognize, and don't follow links that come in emails you don't trust, no matter how "official" they appear to be (like, from your bank or credit card company). 


 


 


 


 


Which ones are you referring to?
There are people complaining about their companies not paying on time, the platforms they use, changing to voice recognition, not recognizing loyal employees, running out of work. They all come from different companies. Are they ALL disgruntled employees? It's just as sad that some MTs can't recognize that there ARE problems with companies and have to lump all complainers into the disgruntled category.
What are you referring to??? Not getting
your point.
I'm not exactly sure what you are referring to, but

If you are talking about picking a different encounter (perhaps a different DOS), just delete what is in the encounter box and type in a question mark and hit Enter. This will take you to all of the patient's encounters and you can select the one you want. At least this is how it works for me.


Good Luck.


 


 


 


This is the very one I am referring to
That was the worst experience I've had by far. Team leads were friendly, but big liars. Upper management...the nastiest people I've ever encountered.  I feel sorry for their recruiter.  She certainly doesn't belong with that sour bunch.
What are you referring to? CK-MB?

i'm referring to
my footpedal, headset, keyboard and mouse...i have a new laptop that i'd occasionally use for work, needing all these. If i had previously attached them to the laptop, was wondering if i'd damage anything or if they would all work, if i didn't shut down equipment before putting these things back on the laptop (which are usually on my desktop version); and wondering too if i have to do anything before un-attaching them. thanks.
I don't think, if you were referring to my
post, that it was b*tchy.  Just stating the facts! Supporting each other does not mean putting down your profession all the time either.  We're supposed to encourage and lift others up.  I know everyone complains sometime and has a bad day, but not everyday.  Put it this way, if you are having more bad days than good, it's time to move on! Life is too short to be so unhappy!
That is mostly what I am referring to
It seems like every time I post on here, someone always attacks me and has something mean to say. I mean, this board reminds me of elementary school girls...never getting along. I just want helpful advice, motivation, positivity, and friendliness. And to the post up above who said maybe I should find another board..I already have and you are one of the ppl I am referring to as always having to attack someone.
I don't know if you are referring to me...sm
as the other poster who was judging. I haven't judged anyone on here. I did state what I thought to that nasty poster who said that if you aren't making good money it is more than likely you. If you are doing good I am happy for you. Some MTs do have plenty of work, and that makes a big difference. If the work is not there, you can't very well make any money. I certainly would never suggest you pad your lines or any of those other things. I try not to judge people.
I was referring to the OP, of course! nm

Maybe in the recycling bin? Or you could restore your computer to an earlier time?

Update from earlier this week re: mammo and ultrasound

Had a visit with the surgeon this afternoon.  There actually is a 3 mm lesion behind my nipple.  I didn't get a chance to write down what he had written on a sticky note on my chart, plus it was upside down, but I think the word was hypoechoic.   Anyway, I have an appointment for a ductogram for next week and then we'll go from there.


I think my poor husband is on the verge of becoming an basket case, but I told him no sense in getting worked up until there is actually something to get worked up about. I told my sister I actually feel better NOW than I did this morning.  


Stay cool, everyone!


Didn't you ask this question earlier? Has the situation changed in some way?
If the situation is still as described below, you're still taking on a problem that you can't address, ie., networked hard drive. This needs to be set up in the doc's office and the parameters you set out below are not achievable with any web-based service out there.
I was referring to the fact that (sm)
it's free, unlike other sites, to post messages and such here.  That's what FREE I was referring to!
No problem -- I was referring to
the poster making snide remarks for MTs to stop being lazy and work 8 hours a day. No need in that mess.

I'm happy to share what has worked for me.

I have used VR before; not currently using it so it would take a while to get back into it. Yes, it can produce some great results but it takes a lot of investment from you to get it there -- training it to recognize your speech, etc.

Good luck.
When you say MDI, are you referring to Maryland or FL??? nm

Sorry, that was not the post I was referring to. nm

No. I am referring to her first response to a . . .

post of mine.  I was offering MY opinion and was not specifically singling her post out.  Not at all.


The last time I checked, we are all entitled to our own opinions.  If people offer an opinion, albeit one that does not agree with someone else, why is that negative?


Geesh.  . . . and the horse you rode in on.


I am not referring to cases
such as you are describing, and I don't get why you're so defensive. Of course that splinter case that you described warrants an ER visit. I am referring to all of the reports that I type of cases that could easily be taken care of by a PCP and in no way should be considered an emergency. Relax...geez.
Is this the article you were referring to?
"Foreign Medical Graduates May Get New Test" in the NY Times? If so, it was printed on May 1, 1988. It also stated that the foreign medical graduates have to take an English profiency exam, NOT that they will NOW have to take one if the new test guidelines occur. The new requirements are that they have to take the United States Medical Licensure Examination (USMLE) Step 1 and Step 2, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and the Clinical Skills Assessment. This is before they can even begin a residency in the U.S. Might be nice if you had some reading comprehension skills.
I was referring mainly to employees. IC's are

I will start referring to BOS
as AAMT's POS - I think that might be a better descriptive of the content - lol
I meant to answer your post earlier, but I've been trying to catch up on

housework before school starts.  I cannot WAIT for school to start.  I'm so tired of the kids' bickering and attitudes this summer.  They've taken to ignoring me whenever I ask them to do anything.  I threaten them with grounding, loss of privileges, or slave duty.  Then they bicker about who did more chores or who made the mess to begin with.  Instead of cleaning up after them, I leave it sit until their Dad gets home.  If they don't want to listen to me, they'll darn well listen to him.  


They are usually really good kids.  I think it's mostly cabin fever because a lot of their friends went on vacation or stayed with their biological Dads for the summer.  The kids are so bored.  I'm just so tired of it every summer.  I have all these grand plans for finishing work early and doing something fun each day, but I get the same garbage every year.  Too many kids over here, too many interruptions, too much bickering, too much mess.


Let me tell you, I'm celebrating on the first day of school.  I'm going to the coffee shop and buying a big mocha latte.  Then I'm going to sit there all by myself and read a book.  On the way home, I'm grabbing lunch for myself and watching a chick flick by myself.  No McDonalds either.
