For those who responded about it being wrong to pray and that they were going to know have to have a Bible beside their Dorland's....how closed minded are you? We have freedom of religion in this country - should we take away our freedoms now?  If two people of any religion want to pray in this country they are free to do so as long as it does not impose their beliefs on anyone else.  Asking a Transcriptionist to type "we prayed" is asking him or her to document the happenings during the office visit just like everything else is documented.  I am sure the doctor already knew of the patient's religion and they were both of the same religion - the doctor did not impose anything on this patient.  I believe everyone is free to worship or not worship as their own beliefs dictate....you cannot take away that right - this is America - right now we still have freedoms here that many countries don't have the luxury of having....please don't try to take our rights away!!  I would gladly transcribe any report mentioning any religion if that is what the doctor dictated because being fair and having freedom means that we don't judge anyone's religion, whether we believe they are right or not.  If you are not religious, that is also your choice.  I recently typed a chart where a woman was using the alignment of the stars to determine the best time for her to have surgery....I typed it like the doctor said it, because that is my job, and I did not judge her, because that is not my right.

I don't like them but I get a chill reading the gloom and doom ones and start to wonder if the person who sent that really is a friend.  I don't pass it to any friends. Here is a funny one you can send back though. 

I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your silly chain letters over the past years. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy. Because of your concern...

I no longer drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans. I no longer drink anything out of a can because I will get sick from the rat feces and urine.

I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. I no longer check the coin return on pay phones because I could get pricked with a needle infected with AIDS.

I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a wet dog on a hot day.

I no longer go to shopping malls because someone will drug me with a perfume sample and rob me.

I no longer receive packages from UPS or FedEx since they are actually AL Qaida in disguise.

I no longer shop at Target since they are French and don't support our American troops.

I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a stupid number for which I will get the phone bill from hades with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan.

I no longer eat prepackaged foods because the hormones they contain will turn me gay. I no longer eat KFC because their chickens are actually horrible mutant freaks with no eyes or feathers.

I no longer have any sneakers -- but that will change once I receive my free replacement pair from Nike.

I no longer buy expensive cookies from Neiman Marcus since I now have their recipe.

I no longer worry about my soul because I have 363,214 angels looking out for me.

I no longer have any savings because I gave it to a sick girl who is about to die in the hospital (for the 1,387,258th time).

I no longer have any money at all, but that will change once I receive the $245,000 that Microsoft and AOL are sending me for participating in their special e-mail program.

Yes, I want to thank all of you soooooooo much for looking out for me! I will now return the favor. If you DON'T send this e-mail to at least 1200 people inthe next 60 seconds, a large bird with diarrhea will crap on your head at 5:00 pm tomorrow afternoon. I know this will occur because it actually happened to a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend . . ..

Life is good...

something good will happen to you in the next 30 minutes.  I absolutely hate those!  No offense to those who happily forward them whenever you get them, they just clog up my inbox and annoy me to death.  I'd rather my friends just email me and let me know what's going on with them.  I don't need some teary inspirational story to forward to the people I care about so I can be blessed.

Work related peeves - doctors who practically whisper when they dictate!

THIS POST HAS BEEN MOVED TO THE NEW MT BOARD

GAB BOARD IS FOR NON-MT TOPICS ONLY

PLEASE SEE NEW MT BOARD FOR THREAD

Hi,

First time here. I was reading through your posts and thought I could get some none biased advice on my current situation.

I am married for almost three years now, we dated for 4 years prior to our marriage, 27 years old and no children.

Here is my little excerpt on my situation:

During the end of our first year of marriage my husband’s drinking began to be an issue in our marriage, and has progressively gotten worse. At the worst point he would get drunk and pass out at his friends house, received a DUI, he would lie about his drinking, spent two nights in jail, passed out on the floor of the house and in the bathroom, we would fight constantly and of course his addiction cost a small fortune (not including the DUI fees). We went to counseling for about six months straight and all the while he was resistant. I left for a week in October, and came back under the impression that he was going to stop drinking (at least work on it). Things, supposedly, were getting better. He has gotten “drunk” twice, started going to AA meetings, reading the AA book and is thinking about getting a mentor to help him through this process. Well tonight he told me that since I came back (in October as stated above) he has been stopping at the liquor store every day after work and any chance he could on the weekend.

My first reaction (as I have had in the past) is I have to leave, and for much longer then a week.
My dilemma is that he will be alone and depressed, and I will be the same. I just started at a great firm with many people who have their lives “together”, and may not understand if this results in a divorce. I am 27 and could be divorced by the age of 28, and who would be interested. I am religious, and the terms of divorce is pretty much accepted for adultery. He mentioned that the reason that he told me that he has been lying to me is because he is taking the first step which is being honest, but he had just drank so he was loaded.

Sorry for the length and I am sorry if anything I have written above is offensive to anyone, that was not my intension I just thought I would express my feeling on the matter, and I am also a little confused right now.

Thank you and any advice would be appreciated.

get a response as to when the item will be shipped.  I've probably done about 100 transactions and only once did I not receive the item and had to dispute it. 

I'd just keep trying and be very persistent.  Maybe you will get a response
