here in town used. I had access to all patient information including the telephone numbers and addresses. My daughter, at that time teenager, begged me for the address of a certain big time player who went on to marry Hallie B but no, no- was not gonna put my job on the line. I knew DD could easily turn into your stalker girl!

Use a play on the hospital name. The one at Keystrokes is KeyNotes. The one at a hospital I worked
named Great Valley Hospital was In The Valley. Take a main word in the name and just write down anything that comes to mind. Put a main word here and let us all give some play on words to it.
At the hospital where I worked there were
pampered chef, anything you wanted to buy, you could purchase all on company time. There were also people that would sell dinner plates through their church.
This "daylighting" is nothing new. I myself on breaks would "deliver typed reports to an internal office." I stayed in the building, but I was on my break (not paid) or on lunch (not paid). So, what's the difference?
Tell me this isn't true; anyone who has worked on-site knows it happens every day.
When I worked in a hospital, I once
had a "stat" dictation on a patient in the ICU. At the beginning of the dictation, the doctor said to rush this up to the ICU the minute it was transcribed. It was a consult on this old man's watch that had a nude woman on it. One of the funniest things I ever typed. I worked 2nd shift, so we were responsible for the stat reports getting to the floor. When I took it up to ICU, all the nurses and the doctors there were just hysterical reading the report. The doctor did apologize to me for the "stat," but he was one of our fun doctors, so it was not a problem. I miss the good ole days when we actually knew who we were transcribing for and could actually speak to them face to face when we had problems with them.
When I worked at a hospital
as a nurse's aide, there were several episodes similar to that. I was young about 19 to 20. One particular episode, I went in and picked up a breakfast tray and asked the guy if he was ready for his shower. He said yes, I told him I will be back with a new gown and towels. He said okay. When I came back in he was stripped down to nothing but his birth suit. I put the towels down and went and told the other nurses about the incident. Also, there was another man wanting me to wash his thing, KWIM. If he were comatose or had both hands broken I would have to but there was not a thing wrong with this man and I refused. I went and got another aide and asked her advice and she said she wouldn't either. We told the nurse's and the doc about the incident and he wrote that up as an incident report.
Usually men like that I took it that they had some screws loose.
OMG! I worked at a hospital where the ID badge was credit card
Yes, I totally understand! It is easy to get caught up in the moment and you think, oh, it is only a few dollars. Lunch would be more than I really could afford because I'd charge it. And the bargains at the gift shop (yeah, right!!!).
Could you get a loan from a low interest credit card perhaps to pay off the 2500?
Worked at hospital where a certain dictator turned a mother in for
smoking. Called family and children services. She did this on every dictation where a child involved.
LEA, S-team, M-team can be virtually translated to different states...
the LEA is your local education area (school district) and a universal term. The M-team is "multidisciplinary team" consisting of various teachers, parent, and minimum of the school psychologist. That's what we had (gifted being considered special ed, too, but not funded in all states). S-team is a "specialist focused team" consisting of the M-team and at least 1 specialist in the disability. This should be what you have. The rules surrounding an IEP are federal. Individual states can only add to who qualifies for one, and the LEA just has to follow the rules.
You can request a new IEP meeting at any time. Do it in writing, setting forth (including documentation if you have any) specifics of the issues that have been apparent since the last plan was put in place. Request that the new IEP meeting include an autism (should also include Asperger's, though I'm not well-versed on the condition) specialist furnished by the LEA if your team does not already include one. They are required to convene the meeting within 30 days of your written request. Once the plan is signed, it is considered an agreement and cannot be challenged, so you can't challenge the one he's on now. That's why you want a new IEP meeting to formulate a new plan. If you get no relief from the new plan, DON'T SIGN IT. In the signature line, write "DO NOT AGREE". Find a specialist or psychologist in your area (this will be your expense) to support your position, and file the appropriate paperwork. If they refuse to convene the IEP meeting, contact your special ed liason at the state board of education. They should help you navigate the paperwork further from there because the paper trail will flow differently from state to state.
Yep, then you take a big baseball bat
naw, just kidding but this was years ago and I saw rats swollen up like overfed pigs, well not that big but you could tell the edema had really set in. Maybe since they were in the farm yard they were just left to get blow up like balloons??
Does she like baseball? sm
For my 16th, my parents took 2 of my friends and me to a pro baseball game. The B-day deal included boxes for all of us with goodies (edible and nonedible) and my name on the scoreboard. The seats were not good, but a Montreal Expo outfielder (Andre Dawson) yelled out "happy birthday" to me. Best of luck!
a team
My husband and I are a team. Could we live without eachother, yes. Would we want to, no. Some find it, some don't. I happened to feel very blessed to have the family that I do.
DISCLAIMER! this is about ME, my life, my opinion, and how I feel! Everytime I say something on this board, ofcourse someone is offended and feels the need to insult me. Please don't. :) Thank you.
Are we a team or are we competitors
Two days ago our supervisor came into our office because Dr. Neuro had dictated a report. It was obviously an EEG. She did not know what template it went on. Well, co-worker (super MT) just jumps up and said “I don’t know, you have to call home MT 1 and home MT 2 because they do cardio” Well mind you, super MT has only been there a year. I have been their 8 years and I have done ever single report that hospital offers including cardio, especially cardio because that is the first thing that pops into my Q. (Doc dictate EGGs under cardio, it is up to us to put it in the template). I found that insulting. Then yesterday one of our male MTs needed help deciphering what a doc said. Well super MT jumps tall cubicles to help so I just kept on typing. She could not understand it either so she gets someone else who is not even an MT to listen. It is petty but I find it insulting. I don’t do her that a way.
I am more of an introvert. Super MT has a lot of friends that come in our office just basically gossip about the other people who work next door. I try to tune them out because I only have 8 hours to get my lines in because I have to be out by 4:30 to pick up my two children. I cannot stay late like they do. I used to go to lunch with super MT and her buds but stopped lately because I joined a gym and I go work out with another girl who happens to be on the top of their gossip list. They don’t approve of her lifestyle, which it is questionable but it is her business. She is a pleasant person to work out with we just happen to have a common interest in exercising. All they wanted to talk about at lunch is talk about some TV show I have no clue what it is because I don’t have time to watch TV. I have 2 small children and when I get home I have to hit the ground running with supper, dishes, grocery store. I also have also turned down their outside parties, 1 because I could not find a babysitter (alcohol is involved at their parties) and the last one was because I was running on fumes until payday and a $20 meal just for me was way out of budget.
I have explained most of the above to her about babysitting, interest in loosing weight, tight budgets and needing to get my line count up which is why I don’t talk as much and go to my introverted ways (they called me an introvert and super MT is an extrovert), not that I don’t watch TV and could care less what the people next door are doing and really could care less what my workout buddy is doing in her spare time. Then again I may have told them that. Should I be bending over backwards to be in their crowd? I didn't know being their best friend was part of my job description. I don’t think they are all as great as they think they are but I don’t see why we cannot at least respect each other as professionals.

Drinks for the team
I brought drinks and snacks for the team and my son got his drink and snack, as well. It is not my fault that you MTs do not understand what is natural and insist on the status quo. My kids are better off for the choices that I made
I have baseball memories with my Dad
My favorite activity as a child was stick/hose ball. My Dad would cut up old hose and pitch them to us. There were some woods behind the house, so it didn't matter how hard you hit those pieces of hose. What fun!! We used to go crabbing in the summer and built gigantic snowmen in the winter. I was in the middle child with an older and younger brother, so I learned to play a lot of football, baseball, and yes, believe it or not, we used to play guns! Fake ones of course! Times have sure changed! 
for all you baseball fans out there...sm
Boston did rather well...At any World Series ya get a really exciting experience, especially if you're in the nosebleed seats.  Cat

I would contact everyone on the IEP team (sm)
and let them know you are not being informed as you should be. Also, if they cannot handle it at your school, then he could be transferred to another school (at his current school's expense; they would also have to provide transporation). You do have a lot of rights here, and this is federally mandated, not state. Good luck.
steroid use in baseball
Can anyone tell me why Congress is using taxpayer $ to investigate steroid use in major league baseball, especially on those who used steroids before they were banned. Why doesn't baseball clean up their own mess?
Watch a baseball game. sm
A lot of pro sports people do it too. Good luck, maybe he will stop.
We all have troubles with kids. My 21-year old son was on pot real bad, and he has finally stopped, so hang in there.
Well, let's team up and do the Gladiator show then! nm
If he can play baseball with his vision...
he can play football with it. You need to see better for baseball.
Trust me, they don't have to be tough to play football. The first couple times they get hit, you can see how scared they are. Then the actually realize those pads really DO stop it from hurting...and some of our littlest ones turns into the most aggressive ones.
Football is hard work though, and the training is more difficult than the other sports. My husband coaches baseball, basketball and football for kids (12 and under). They do work a lot harder and they're pretty exhausted after football, but if it really is to the point where they are all throwing up and crying, you have bigger worries. You need a new program director!! I know that's not what you're asking about, but that's just not right for kids that young to be worked that hard. How can they possibly learn to love the sport from that?
Baseball "why" question
Watching the Olympics reminds me of this question....Can anyone tell me why we have a game that is called "The World Series" but only American teams compete and play????????
I loved a baseball bat in YOUR bathroom because I am in serious need of help!

Team sports are for 'sheep' - has he been to a local

I had a report with a baseball stuck in a man's rectum -
when the nurses asked him why a baseball, he responded that his wife was not home and it seemed like a good idea at the time!!!
I'd work in Oregon with a real snowdog team.
I hear you can get to snow 10 months out of the year, and they have an outfit that takes tourists out with sled teams. And they let people bring their own dogs and hitch them up and do a little pulling with an experienced team. How fun would that be.

I coach softball and my favorite gift was a sweatshift with photo of the team and all the kids signe
They signed it in some kind of indelible ink which is great because I actually wear it all the time. I also got a plaque that looks just like the shirt, which is nice to have because I'm sure I'll wear out the sweatshirt. I love them and feel proud when I wear the shirt. We were champs of the league and the district and for a couple months after the season we were all kind of local celebrities! I played at a high level myself traveling all over Italy and Japan, but coaching this group was the best experience of my athletic career.
Dreft detergent and 20 Mule Team Borax for stubborn stains, gentle on baby's skin..sm
and hypoallergenic. Works very well on those burp-up stains, ya know, the ones with Poly-Vi-Sol vitamins.
I don't suppose many of you are old enough to remember cloth diapers and diaper pins, plastic pants that went over them to contain leakage, Dreft detergent or 20 Mule Team Borax and heaven forbid knowing how to clean them! Ask your grandmothers how it was done. And you think you have it rough with disposable diapers! Cat
One major suggestion
I would not be consulting juvenile authorities for a 6-year-old's behavior issues.
At this age, she needs to be seen by a child psychologist or psychiatrist who can diagnose the issue and outline a treatment plan.
This is not an unusual problem. She is a child and a conscious is something that is instilled by caretakers...it is not an automatic self development.
Please seek care for her behaviorally - not in the courts at this age.
This major lawsuit had to do with--sm
the insurance company (SF) stating that they would cover and *wind damage* done by hurricane Katrina, but not flooding, as they had no flooding insurance on their policies, but the lawsuit contended that the flooding was still due to hurricane Katrina and should be covered. they won that case, but there is still some hassle over it because a judge did not like the way the wording read concerning some people who filed claims, but did not sue the insurance company. In my opinion, these insurance companies take peoples monies for years and do who knows what with it, and then when something major happens and people need help, they find all kinds of loopholes to not do anything. That is what insurance policies are FOR! but as far as bleach on a rug...no, if I were the insurance company involved in that, I would not pay either. jmo.
Definitely make major changes...
First, I would quit transcribing.
I would establish a foundation to pay for surgery for children and adults with maxillofacial deformities.
My second foundation would help older women - over age 40 - who want to go back to school or want to get some training for a different career.
My third foundation would help working class families send their kids to college.
I would buy a nice house (not a mansion) on a very large piece of land, where I could not hear my neighbors' noise. That house would have a huge library filled with my own books and another room would be a fitness center with a treadmill and some strength training machines. Oh, and I would like to buy a Schwinn bicycle.
When we had a major ice storm last
February, schools were let out early (10 a.m.) and the info was posted on a crawl at the bottom of the TV and on the radio. No parents were called.
It depends what your major was, just like anything

I would have had a different college major - sm
and been smart about saving money then and not getting into debt....and not picking the loser guys I dated until I met my husband at age 29. ---though had things been different I'd probably be married to someone else and have two totally different kids which are the 2 things I would not want to change--
Look at his name-"Science Major".

I never work on major holidays...
because I work for a small company that closes for all major holidays. I've been with them for almost 2 years now and they are definitely one of the best! They even send me a Christmas gift every year! I would never sign up to work for a company that was open on holidays, as I have no desire to work on holidays.
just had a major lawsuit ruling
but these are mainly people down in the coastal areas whose homes were completely leveled or not habitable. Insurance companies should be ashamed of themselves...some of these folks have been paying the same company for 40 to 50 years and when they need them, they get screwed. I hope the homeowners actually get the monies so they can get what should have been theirs in the first place.
We lived further inland, so the winds were strong enough to blow off a roof, or blow rain under a roof, or turn trees over on houses and crush them, but not level a home....but every time a wind comes up or it rains heavy, everyone holds their breath because trees now have weak roots and are easily toppled over, even 2 years later.
Thanks - that is a major factor in my decision (sm)
My children. I feel like I am choosing between my happiness and theirs and of course they should win. They are happy now, but if they had to have visitation with their dad - who is definitely a control freak - I worry about their happiness. But is it better for them to visit him than to live with him. And wouldn't I be showing them that you don't have to live like that by leaving??? it's so hard!
My daughter was about to have major surgery
2 years ago and the surgeon always made me feel like we were keeping him from something more important. After waiting in the waiting for at least an hour at every appointment, it was discouraging to have him rush in and out in 10 minutes, considering the procedure she was going to have. Anyway, at our last appointment before the surgery, we had a PA who actually spent time with us, explaining the surgery in detail and answering all our questions. I was thrilled.
I have also had my share of not great PAs, but this guy wasn't one of them.
Well, if I get a major inheritance, I'll be there

Got to vent. I just found out that a major supermarket
chain where my husband works will be open on Christmas Day. I think it is absolutely disgusting that they would take this major holiday away from their employees. There is absolutely nothing in a grocery store that is so important that it has to be bought on Christmas Day. For pete's sake, if you don't get it before Christmas Day, you don't need it very badly.
I just went through some major stuff that i think may have been related to fibro. sm
I took every narotic you can think of. lortab helped me the best without knocking me out. FYI, it did cause nausea so then i backed down to half a tablet. everything else put me to sleep. i did take BC Powder two of them and that helped some, but gave me an ulcer too so guess you gotta decide what is worse. for me, not being able to work was worse so i needed relief. i also used a heating pad and rice sock when i had to stay away. nothing took the pain totally away though. finally got a medrol dosepak and it cleared up for the severe part anyway. at least i can function now. email me........
I'm in complete agreement. If major problem, everyone

My son is a PreMed major and loves this show also....sm
He is hoping to get in Medical School there at Hopkins. Great reality show for the HealthCare Professional.
I was an animal science major in college and...
my poultry professor said that fresher eggs are harder to peel. The problem is that you can't tell from the store which the older eggs are because when they expire, they just repackage them with newer dates and send them back out because they only go bad if there is a defect in the shell.

Bringing Lost discussion up to top of board (major spoiler alert)
Okay, all you "Lost" fanatics, what are your theories now, and how have they changed? Who or what is Jacob? How did the "original inhabitants" of the island get there? They are mostly Caucasians with American accents, with a few exceptions. They don't look like the usual types of people who are native inhabitants of Polynesian islands - if, indeed, that is where the island is.
Why were Jack and Juliet keeping secrets from the rest of the group? If they had been honest and up front from the beginning about Juliet, maybe they could have all figured out a way to foil Ben's plans without bloodshed.
And will the island heal Locke? Obviously he is of major importance - I don't think Ben heard Jacob at all, and he was jealous and afraid when he realized Locke heard him. That's why he shot him. Ben is turning out to be an even bigger weasel than before.
And what exactly was the Dharma Initiative studying? Does Ben really know? After all, he was only a "work man" like his father.
For every answer, there are a dozen new questions - at least! 
I used to do plainclothes security work for a major upscale dept store - sm
Summer was my best time to arrest the teenage girls. They did not seem to take it seriously until the police showed up to take them downtown. I did have a few concerned mothers come by the store to speak with me. Just a lot of temptation out there...I would say to be very suspicious of clothing and such that seems to appear without having the money to pay for it.
Believe it or not, I used to get it through the hospital ....
pharmacy when I worked in-house with a 30% discount. Still have friends who work in-house that get it for me at that price. Advantage works well for my cats.
