QA says per AAMT style guide non Hodgkin lymphoma not non-Hodgkin. sm
I have always used the dash and all my resource material uses the dash. Any thoughts out there?
Lost time?
Maybe you are all spending too much time doing searches?
In training we were told don't spend much time - let it go to QC because the clerks have all the census information, etc. that we do not have access to and it is easy for them.
Some things to consider:
If it's an old dictation (more than a couple of months), it probably won't be in the database. If it's a preop for the future, it won't be in the database; just type in what the dictator says.
I was hit by all 3 that summer, I lost power, I lost work, I lost savings...but..sm
NEVER did my employer in any way imply or threaten or dare even mention that my job was in jeopardy because I could not work immediately following a trifecta of natural disasters! My jaw agape is not at your concern about working, but at your concern that you would lose your job because of it. Companies have to have a heart in some situations. You're one MT, your company won't go under without you working for a week or 2 or 3.
Every time I transcribe someone who has lost their spouse...(Sm)
or other family member and is having a hard time getting through it, my heart just sinks and I feel so bad for them. It is amazing the empathy we can feel for people we don't know. This pt is having a hard time today because it is the one-year anniversary of her father's and sister's death. How very sad.
I had a doc that lost his tapes. Once time left
for vacation. Had them in his pocket. Realized that when he got to Florida. Mailed them back to me...
On page 331 of the 2nd BOS it clearly has non-Hodgkin-like lymphoma. sm
I don't use the -like part either and have never heard it dictated but it would appear the hyphen is definitely correct. I have always transcribed it that way, as well.
I also lost my sex drive the minute I got pregnant the first time....never got it back....that was 8

Best battery backup with a reasonable amount of time - just lost report when elec blinked Grrrr

I recently lost 20 pounds. That means I lost 80 sticks of butter.
    
24 and very thankfully divorced before 30!

I was married to a guy like that once. I divorced him.
Most selfish, insensitive, clueless human being on planet earth. Good riddance.
not to be unkind, but how did you get divorced without
Did your husband divorce you by publice notice and that is why you did not know about the court order?
I am not trying to start a flame...just asking.
I'm with you on this one, but I divorced hubby....
I doubt your brother has won more than he's lost. To win that much he's probably lost 3 times
So he probably has more bills than money. Otherwise the casinos would go broke.
How about married and divorced 4 times
He likes to lecture people about *the sanctity of marriage* and goes on and on about gays. I guess it only applies to other people and not himself.
I divorced mine 15 years ago and he....sm
He has not changed those passive aggressive ways......he got remarried about 5 years ago and I feel very sorry for his new wife.
However, I stay far, far away from him........passive aggressive men can be and some are very dangerous............
oh and horses don't change colors.............LOL
If you know the county that he was divorced in, do a google search
for that county's public records website. Where I live, I can access the county's public records via web and lookup by last name and first name and these are free searches as they are public records. If he had any prior record of domestic violence, it will show up there.
Why does it seem that all divorced women are so bitter? It is not ALL men that are rats. You just
found one that was.
I was in a similar situation a few years ago, I got divorced. nm
xxxx
I'm divorced because my ex-husband cheated. Simple as that.
I trusted him and he took advantage. I don't appreciate you insinuating that my mistrust issues are the reason I'm divorced. My ex's dishonesty is the reason I'm divorced.
51yo female, divorced, 20yo son, 35 yrs in health care
Like that's so easy? Divorced bud of mine at 51 graduated college w/her BS last year ...

My dad lost 100 lbs on WW (sm)
He followed a strict WW diet and walked every day.
JUST LOST JOB
Does any know of a Radiology account that needs a Radiology Transcriptionist with 25 years experience. I worked for a small company in my State for a year and the account was dropped today.
Lost my cat
I am so sorry for your loss. I have had pets for many years and it is so hard to see them go. We can enjoy them for a while. When my little dogs and cats have had to go, I just think that I am doing the kindest for them. I think they seem to know when it is time as well as you. I have shed many tears over the loss of my little friends and still miss them all. Get you another to ease your grief. They are all different and a new friend would bring new joy into your life. Another animal lover, Mary
lost
sorry, makes no sense to me.
Lost Dad
It has been five years since I lost my dad, and those times still hit me out of the blue. Dads and daughters have a special bond other folks may not understand. It will always hurt, but time tends to dull the pain most of the time. He's in your heart and there will be times you will be able to gain strength from him where you can't gain it anywhere else. Grieve however you need to. Not for anyone else to say. God bless. You are in my prayers!
Very likely she lost it to (sm)
someone cheaper, but could call to find out.
lost or just said so
I have worked inhouse for a company that when they pulled trans off an account for personal reasons or due to edits, they tell them they lost it. If your company is anything like the one in PA, this is always a possibility - when they don't like someone they frequently "lose accounts" If this is the case - it would be a contract problem
Lost
This company wouldn't be located near Gastonia, NC would it? The same thing happened to me recently and I am just curious if we were working for the same company.
I lost 72 lb in about 2 yrs on WW. sm
Easy to learn, good program b/c you eat "real food", you can eat with your family or go out to eat. Wonderful, sensible, slow weight loss but it is healthy and is not a "diet" per se - it is a lifestyle change. You can eat whatever you want, just in smaller portions and sensibly! Highly recommend it. You can do it on-line too.
As one who has lost everything before...
The best way to backup anything is to email it to yourself on an internet-based email account (i.e. yahoo or AOL). For instance, you back up your Autocorrect, email the text file to yourself. To backup favorites, while in the internet, go to File then to Export/Import, save to your Desktop, email to yourself by attaching the file. Pictures, videos, and the like are a little different. Those should be on a DVD, and do what I do: Make copies of your DVDS (family pictures, videos) and give a copy to two friends. That way, if you lose your copies to fire, theft, etc., you will always have a copy.
My personal opinion. Nothing worse than starting over.
Are you sure they are lost?
I thought book marks were actually saved online for you by for example Yahoo. When i got a new computer, I downloaded the yahoo toolbar and signed into yahoo and voila! There were my bookmarks.
Job lost
Believe it not, C phone and Lanier technology is very passe now.  If you work for a national, you never lose jobs no matter what happens. Don't worry about it. It's their equipment not you that caused your job to disappear. It's all in a day's work. My mom used to say "tomorrow is another day." It's true it is, fresh start, new beginnings with lessons from the previous one to lean on. 
Not ALL MTs - I lost 50 lbs 12 yrs ago and
and lookin' good (mid 50s).....20 more to go to be FIT
Nothing is really lost
You are a gem Patti, and a real business woman. You were not meant to have a pain in the neck account. Things always have a way of working out for the best. I have had those type of accounts in the past where the PA (usually female) will spell the medical terms incorrectly, and then try and tell you that YOU spelled it wrong when in actuality you spelled it correctly! Something else will come along.
Lost job too
Well, join the crowd. More and more of our work was being sent to the service company, and now we are being eliminated as part of the work is going to some sort of point and click for the doctors to do themselves, and then some going to voice recognition as well. So I am looking for Psychiatric work if anyone can give me any good tips for this. TIA
I also know someone who lost
It only takes about a month for them to get up and running and then they cut the MT off. Sad affairs...
sorry....lost me with the $9.00 fee.
x
lost work
I would ask you, one MT to another, do not let this burn you and make you less than you are. In reality the situation is no different then if someone was going to one store for years and then a newer, more modern one came along and the person switched. This is free enterprise at work. The way that people know we are professionals is the attitude that we have when this does happen to us. Always be a professional and you will be better then the next man. I have learned that it is our attitude in this world that will either change it or make it worse. You new know, because of the way that you handled this account, you could be recommended for something even better. Just a little encouragement. Just do things to the best that you can and it will come back to you, whether you see it or not.
lost lines on DQS could be from
Is there a program that just detects how many times you hit a key rather than the word if you use an expander? Could that explain the line decrease? For example if I type PE and my Expander puts physical examination, maybe it only counts the PE?
DQS lines lost
a., more than likely the answer is Yes. b. this would not be something that would be brought to your attention by administration to correct their error in your favor, and how many other transcriptionists do you think are getting the shaft in this regard by not being told, and not having enough technical inquisitiveness (like you do) to ask? typical, typical, typical. if in fact this is the case, i certainly hope you get your back pay for these serial errors on their part. good luck friend.
Lost job without notice
I worked for over a year at a company called New England Transcription. It is in Connecticut. They found out today that the hospital dropped their account. It is not associated with New England Medical Transcription.
I used to go to the gym, but lost motivation - so now
I have a treadmill and an exercise bike in the house and I'll jump on them for 10 minutes at a time throughout the day - it's a good break from work and the time adds up. I only do 30-40 minutes 5 times a week, but it has helped me stay in shape! I also lift 5 lb. weights a few times a week - nothing strenuous, just a few arm exercises my brother, who is a personal trainer, taught me. Good luck - I know it's hard when that fridge is there all day long. I tend to eat when I'm stressed so it is particularly difficult on certain days.
No, I lost an account to EMR
and of hospitals around here that have gone to EMR, no Transcriptionist is needed.
With VR and EMR, the VR automatically puts their dictation into the patient's record. They could care less how it looks, their idea is to save money.
Lost PRD+ discs, anyone know where I can get them? sm
I have worked with PRD+ for 6 years. Somewhere between moving offices and and clutter I have misplaced my PRD diskette. Tried to save from original computer to transfer to new computer, but will not work since I am going from Windows 98 to XP. Since Sunflower is no longer in business, I need to the disks as I have worked without my PRD for 2 days and it is killing me. I need the original diskette because you can save from 1998 and transfer to XP, even though the program I will be working in is WP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
I lost 70 lbs on Adkins... but
I lost 70 lbs on Adkins over about a year. I then fell in love, got married, and have gained back 40 lbs! I have tried to do Atkins again a few times and could not stay on it! I had a TAH-BSO 3 months ago and I am gaining weight quickly. Is it the HRT? I am 43 yrs old -- and always hungry. I really need something to suppress my appetite. Anyone have any suggestions? I feel horrible with all this weight back on again.
We lost 29 lbs on it in 2 months but...
Hubby got the gout after that, so had to go off it so we could find out what kind of foods would trigger his attacks. That was 2 years ago and we gained all our weight back. We missed the meals. We were really into the full meal salads, etc., satisfying and weren't really into sweets or deserts before starting. Never missed potatos, either (except french fries...my weakness).
He also has a heart problem and finally asked his doctor what foods to avoid...Lo and behold....everything we're eating now. When asked what foods to eat...you guessed it...everything on the Atkin's Diet. So, 2 years later, we're anxious to get back to it. ...but a modified version.
Oh, and we have figured out which foods trigger his gout...FINALLY. It's any dark green leafy vegetable, spinach (our favorite) and even mixed baby greens, and green beans! Never would have believed it but we tried several times to include those in our diet and they trigger attacks every time...go figure.
Lost my dad and a grandson in within a day
of each other in September. I am so sorry for your loss! I have not even taken it all in yet...
I was driving to Philadelphia to see my dad who had terminal lung cancer when I got the call that my 12-day-old grandson was in the hospital on life support! I was torn what to do, see dad or turn around to be with my daughter...I went ahead to see dad, but he passed two days before I got there, my grandson the next day....There I was, in the middle of Iowa at a truck stop, feeling like I was in a surreal world, with people all around me talking, laughing, etc. I lost the oldest and youngest members of my family within 24 hours.
Believe it or not, time does help! I think about my dad almost every day, especially when I type elderly male patients. I have just now started to laugh when I think about him. I have his WWII picture in my dining room, I see his handsome face every day and I have a more recent picture next to it, him looking tired and ragged, but he has one of his great-granddaughters on his lap and he is smiling big and proud.
I like to think that my dad passing a day before my grandson just made it certain the baby would have someone in heaven waiting for him from his family!
Be strong and know that there are those of us here who feel for you and share your sorrow and pain!
I lost my dad last year too.....sm
And do we ever get over it? Doubtful. Especially if we were close to our dads. I was lucky, had him for over half a century!! Very lucky indeed and he lived til he was 96! He was shooting for 100 or the millenium (which he was around for 2000-01). I'll never get over his demise but I will always cherish what's in my heart and my head as I had one terrific Dad, as you probably did too.
If it gets too tough, one day at a time (ODAT) might not work, and in those times, one minute at a time works wonders. Best luck!!!
I lost a big client and a new one to EMR
My own doctor hired me after losing my account to EMR. I sat around for two months waiting for him to start only to be told on an office visit that he too has gone EMR. Good luck.
