#2 - My daughter has had the guardasil shots and is just fine. It protects again HPV which is one of the most sexually transmitted diseases that can cause cervical cancer.
It seems if these issues concerned you that much, you should take them up with the doctor.

I started in the file room of a 6 doctor urology office....
The file room in any office is a nuclear dumping ground...any paper that nobody knows what to do with gets dumped there. Then and there I made up my mind that I was NOT going to be a file clerk for the rest of my life.
I actually started by filing part time and typing part time. When we got a new Peds Urologist in the office, fresh from a fellowship at Mayo, I was right there. We used tapes back then as that was in the early 1990's. As he could fill up a 2 sided tape with 8 hours of seeing patient's, the other girl in the office did not want any part of his work and left it for me. The rest, as they say, is history.
I had no professional training, just 2 semesters of medical terminology and a killer spelling ability.
After I had typed urology, I was then farmed out to our other offices and I learned GI/GU, family practice, sleep labs etc.
I now work for a major hospital on the west side of Michigan and still type for my Peds urologist. The only difference is that he now has his practice in AZ, not MI.
If you can find somebody willing to take a chance on you with no experience, jump on it with both feet. You will be glad you did.
A nice sunny room just for me in our finished lower level. Love my cocoon room.

I have never had my own room. I shared a room with my sister, went away to college sm
and had a roommate (whom I am still close to) for 4 years, moved back home and back to sharing a room with my sister while she went to a local college and then got married. In fact, after 17 years of marriage, this is the first time in my life that I have had my own dresser, not just the top two or bottom two drawers!
I could never live alone. Not for fear but for loneliness. I like my alone time but I love to have people around.
You need to get over this kick you are
on and get it through you 60 pound skull that I am my own person, I am not responding to anything I post. Whether or not you believe it, fine. I have no reason to lie about it. Get a life and a hairbrush.
Why don't you go kick your dog?
Here's what I get a kick out of....sm
I agree with you 100%. I really get a kick out of the people playing "grammar police" who end up having typos in their own messages!
I'd get up and kick my dog if I got that. I like short SM
little tonsillectomies and stuff. :) Keeps me awake.
Yes, but they get such a kick out of being jerks. So
either you don't post or you put up with skipping the trolls and not letting them get to you. For the most part, people on this board are very helpful and friendly. Too bad the others don't just go away!
Probably around $24K if you kick butt - sm
Not too many MTs make $44K; if they do they either work 18+ hours a day or have their own accounts and still work long hours. If you need a steady reliable income you are best staying where you are; or do your current job at home if you can.
Now, could you kick my butt into gear? LOL
 I don't wanna work today. Not sure if it's the rainy weather or if it's just my total lack of motivation!
Someone please give me a swift kick in the
rear end to get me to work. I go on a week long vacation starting Saturday with no kids and today I did about 1/4 of my normal lines and that might be padding it a little bit. I was too busy looking at pictures of where we're going. Did I mention no kids are going with me?
Before I get comments about why'd I have kids if I'm so happy they're not going to be there. I have 3 teens who act 65, two 13yo, 12-year-old and a 2-year-old. Three are hitting puberty and one just hit the terrible 2's. It will be our first vacation w/o kids in a long, long, long time. After only 3 days here my mom is asking why I'm not bald already from pulling my hair out. Now if work could just pay me to sit and look at pictures all day and daydream, I'd have it made.
I do think kindergarten and 1st grade might get a kick out of it.

Unfortunately, he really blew it and she really needs to kick him to the curb.
Sorry.
TWO dachsies stay in my lap (unless I kick them out then .....)
I'm MEAN MOMMY :)
I think you ought to kick the creep to the curb and be done with him.
Living life like that isn't living life at all. You need to do what makes you happy. Never, ever, stay together because of the kids. Your kids are probably not the happiest children with the home situation the way it is, and you know that he already doesn't want the responsibility of taking care of your kids, so what's the use in having him hanging around your neck like an albatross?
I was married to a jerk who was very similar to your husband and with 3 children it wasn't easy to manage on my own, but I sure did it and I'm glad I did. It was difficult getting out of my "comfort" (discomfort) zone and make the change, but I knew it had to happen. That was nearly 5 years ago now and I am happier and my children are happier. Dear old dad comes around whenever he feels like it to see the kids and I have his paycheck garnished for child support.
Best of luck to you!
Something else about the Gold Touch.(Should I be getting a kick back from them?)
Something else about the Gold Touch. I have my chair positioned so hands do not point up or down. I try to keep them as neutral as possible. I also make sure my arms are resting on the armrests, so I am not using any strain/tension to keep them in place and even. I rest one arm on a little pillow wedged at my side since my short little arms don't rest on the arm rests in a comfortable position for me. Then I fly. I hardly have to move my hands at all, the fingers do the typing, so to speak. lol.
Anyone in your life who enjoys seeing you upset -- gets a kick out of it?
If you say you don't like a certain behavior or comment, it only makes him do it more and more and over many years just to get a reaction long after you have stopped reacting.
Or who is controlling to the point he wants to know when you showered and why do you need to shower if you didn't leave the house.
Or steals your glory, ideas for inventions or any project you start to say it was his idea and really mean it.
Or is extremely macho and needs to dominate the woman in his life or else he feels disrespected by her.
Or breaks things when he tells you to shut up during a discussion that isn't going his way and you don't.
Or….etc. --
But is happy and smiley face when it's time for dinner to be on the table.

I need to gripe or vent - please don't kick me off board
I occasionally come on this board, as do some of my coworkers to get help with words, look around, etc. I've never posted but today I'm fuming and frustrated.
I just got done working a couple of extra hours at the hospital this morning, worked all day yesterday (overtime I might add) and do you know what my job has been on all this overtime? Correcting ALL of the outsource's work coming in. What makes me mad is that all of us have been complaining to our boss and even to HER boss about all the mistakes this company makes - terrible dreadful DEADLY mistakes - and all we get back is "there is nothing we can do about it. We signed a contract and we have to continue to use them until the contract ends." Which, by the way, ends in another year or two, I'm not sure. But anyways, this outsource company (who is WELL KNOWN) does not even make an attempt to do our ESL doctors, who are not really that bad. I know there are harder doctors to understand as I have been doing this for 16 years. The service sends the reports back with a ridiculous amount of blanks. We go in and listen to them and basically redo the whole report, to which they get paid for it. Then there are the easy docs - the so-called "hold your hand while I dictate to you" docs - and the service still has mistakes.
Our boss has asked on occasion if they are offshoring, which they swear they are not. It was in the contract that they are not to offshore so they swear they are not and the mistakes don't look like they are offshore mistakes (the hospital used a company prior to this one that offshored - big difference in transcription mistakes).
I just cannot believe that our hospital has had this company for a little over two years and not only are they being paid a ridiculous high line rate, but we are correcting all their reports and they still get paid!! We have asked if we can start deducting lines, but we were told that their contract states that that cannot be done because our boss has tried that.
I have a friend that works at a hospital in another state that had an outsource service that was somewhat like the one we have, only they constantly lost reports and got paid for them, but she just lost her job because the hospital felt that there was no need to have all the overtime for the past year and the outsource service doing the overflow. So they just hired a new outsource company, let all the transcriptionists inhouse go, and got rid of their current outsource service. she is looking around for another job now. She had that job for 9 years at the hospital, and because of the outsource service, the administration of the hospital looked at is as a huge $$ problem and just said bye bye.
I needed to vent. Aaaaahhh, I feel better now, but I'm worried that with all our overtime and what the outsource service gets paid, that I'm going to end up in the same boat. Even our boss has admittedly had some worries about it as well, but she keeps telling us that her boss says her hands are tied and is just as frustrated with the service. It makes you wonder how it is that these services can be in business for so long, make sooooo much money and do this.
Not heartless...just a bully who likes to kick sand
Please....there is no justification for your behavior, don't try to come here and defend your disgusting behavior. This woman is crying out for real help...not some quick, off the cuff, hurtful remark. I feel sorry for you.
I think pre-existing stuff may kick in if you have have no certificate of previous coverage.

so maybe you should kick back and watch some tv as you relax and drift off in your lazyboy.
you'll hate yourself in the morning when you read your crazya$$ posts.
Thanks for all the feedback...time to kick it into high gear, I guess..nm

Call your doctor - this is not a doctor forum! nm

NO, THERE IS NOT ENOUGH ROOM
in the insane asylums for all us newbies !!!!!!
Seriously,I do turn the speed up one notch from the middle for one or two excellent dictators, but any more than that, and most dictators would sound like chipmunks!!
I have room -- do you?
Looking at all of those thousands of displaced, hardworking, honest people and families you have to know that their homes and jobs are simply gone. They will need to start over elsewhere.
Can someone create an information bank of those of us willing to offer housing availablity (such as an extra bedroom) on a short-term basis. Sort of a temporary arrangement for the family to have shelter and food while looking for a new job/home etc?
Is there an agency for this?
I'm a room mom too...I always sm
order from Oriental Trading Company. Tons of inexpensive crafts for all ages. Sometimes the teacher will take up a 50 cent or 1 dollar donation from each child to cover the cost, but generally I just pay for it myself and write it off as a donation.
Get a room

I have my own room
used to be the third bedroom. Just recently budget decorated (yard sale finds, etc) it in a moderate retro look, black/gray computer, black accessories, peach wall and funky 1950s barkcloth curtains and bulletin boards (can't live without a place to tack up reminders, etc), black iron and oak bakers rack, painted a tall chest of drawers black to hold office supplies, black bookcase and two dark oak desks. Sounds kinda of dark with all the black, but it is realy quite light with the peach on the walls. Going for a more clean, streamlined look (Previously had country birdhouse decor). Even with my own office, I'm constantly fighting paperwork!! Ugh!
When I was room mom.....
I coordinated parties, helped out with field trips, that sort of thing. I had student names and their parents and telephone numbers so I could call around if I needed help with something (like a Christmas party). Also, to introduce yourself, send a note home with each child introducing yourself and letting them know if they have questions, they can call. I had parents call me just to find out my thoughts on different things going in the class. I loved being room mom. You get to know the kids. Also, let the teacher know that you are available to help her. Good luck!!
room mom
 Oh boy, does that bring home memories! I was not a success....the first thing you do is take a Valium an hour before you go! Seriously though, talk to your co-mom, then the teacher, ask her about the dos and don'ts of parties, etc. I think the thing that got me the worst was the little chairs I had to sit on! Lot of trouble getting down on one, then getting up!
The little ones (I'm talking kindergarten) are excited to be there, they get noisy, and there are a lot of them! Also, there are always one or two that cry at first, one might go somewhere and cover up with a blanket and stay there the entire time, sucking his/her thumb! Of course, somebody always wets their pants or worse in the beginning. I thought I would lose my mind, but I kept smiling!
Best of luck! Remember, your offspring will be so happy and proud that you are there, so hold the banner high!
room mom sm
In addition to coordinating parties, etc., the room moms at my daughter's school usually have some kind of a get together so that all the moms can get to know each other. Also, it gives the room mom a chance to go over things that will be happening in the class.
Last year, we had a little "party" at the room mom's house with snacks, etc. That was a great way to get to know the other moms. The teacher usually meets with the room mom before the get together at the beginning of the school year.
The room mom also asks for volunteers for any party, field trip, etc. We always have plenty of volunteers which makes the room mom's job a lot easier!
Hope that helps!
Too bad she's not in the same room with you
so you could ask her if there was something you could help her with so you could both get back to knocking out the reports.
got room in that bag for me too??? --nm

Agree! There's room for everyone. :) nm

chat room
On the main board, menu on the left says "chat". I have clicked on it several times and it always says no one in the room.
there is enough room on this board for a little bit of everything.

In AOL chat room.
Chat room
Just wondering why there is so few in chat room. Whenever I go to chat, no one is there. 
She is in our utility room, so she is out
of the rain. We have a chest freezer in there which puts out heat. We also have our hot water heater in there, which puts out heat and we also leave a light on for her, which generates some heat. She has room to lay down and stretch a little, just not as much room as a big dog really needs.
Have radios in every room -- all do it. nm

Always room for improvement
I do agree that they have areas where they need to improve but I promise you that they are working hard at making changes for the better for the good of the MTs out there. I'm sure I'm going to get slammed for coming to their defense (I can take it), but I just find it a bit hypocritical that so many people are so quick to bash them but yet don't hesitate to send folks to the organization when they need something such as the QA Document.
I probably shouldn't have jumped to conclusions (yes, I'm guilty), as I don't have any idea if those who posted above referring this person to AAMT are pro-AAMT or not. But, still want to say hooray for seing SOMETHING positive being posted on this board about AAMT. No, they are not perfect but they have achieved great things and greater things to come, I feel confident.
WAY better - now there's actually room on the stage...
for all the others!
Room mom anyone? I need some help/advice. sm
i have never been room mom but got elected somehow this year of being room mom. Where do i start and what do i actually do other than help coordinate parties? i got sent home a list today of all the students names that are in the class and my co-room mom's name. do i contact the teacher and say what do i do or what? HELP!!!!! i have no clue............
Emergency Room
 I type ER notes at my current job and I get the same thing. I bet 90% of my reports are for sore throats. I actually had one a few weeks ago for a cold! Come on now people! Everyone knows there is no cure for a cold! That is why most of us cannot afford health insurance. I had a couple bring a baby to the ER because it spit up during the night (just once). Come on! Babies do spit up. Natural. This happens. Buy a baby book!
Have room just for my office
I have a really big house and not that many people so have my own comfy quarters. I have a television in the room and it is on all the time but not a distraction for me, rather just sound around and the news when I need it.
room where you transcribe
I am finding it difficult these past few days to focus. my computer is in my living room, off to a corner and I have a partitioner dividing my room as my living space downstairs is all open. I live by myself so I really have no distraction. I have a small dog who is really well behaved. My question is did anyone have any luck with moving their office to another room in trying to stay focus? I have my upstairs where one room is empty but at the time I moved in I thought Imight feel too secluded being up there but now I am wondering maybe that is what I need. Thanks. I am almost answering my own question as I am writing this!!
I use a separate room
I have a 2 bedroom place, hubby and I use the master room and I transcribe in the "office." This keeps me, for the most part, without distractions other than those I create myself. I set up a place for my cats to sleep so they don't sleep on the computer desk, and have found that this works the best for me...very short attention span when I tried it in the living room. Just don't move work into the bedroom you sleep in, might cause sleep problems.
chat room
anyone ever use MT stars chat room? Just discovered it.
chat room
Hi,
Wondering if anyone wants to get together in the chat room. LOL, that sounds a little scary. No seriously, I am always looking to see if anyone is in the chat room and never a person there. Anyone interested in meeting in there for some chatting?
