I wouldn't ever assume gender; and I don't think region makes any difference, travel is too easy.

Michelle
Can't help you with a set up for MQ but CAN keep you on y prayer list. Glad you are safe. Take care
Michelle may just HAVE
to find a way to work with all the devastation. Yes, I think ALL companies should really take care of their own right now, especially one like MQ!
michelle for president!!!! nm

or because of Michelle Bachmann.
But seriously, she gives me the heebie-jeebies *and* hives.
It's the old jealousy thing, Michelle.
It's all about the attitude. I think some people just don't want others to do better than they do. Not me!
I think one of the best things I do for my line count is I have no interruptions. No supermom/superwoman here! I can't do it that way. Work is still that, it's work, man! Keep at it steady for 3-4 hours and take a break and then 3-4 hours. Remember the hare/turtle story?! Yep. That's it. The turtle won the race cause he kept at it while that d**** rabbit just spurted around here and there cause he could. ROFL Gotta love that story for the underdog!!
Should Michelle Kwan go to the Olympics
She has been injured all year. She did not compete at nationals and she is requesting a bye onto the olympic team. She should be allowed to compete and take the spot away from a young, deserving skater that did compete?
Hey, Michelle, that sounds like fun, e-mail me....sm
I really enjoy sharing stories, tips, assistance, whatever, even just gripes, perhaps we could come up with a time...I am East Coast, and I work days, so........late afternoon, early evening, late evening...not sure when is best, let me know what you think! 
MICHELLE!! GET BACK DOWN HERE! OH NO! YOU'VE READ THEM!
Its too late, but come back down here and laugh. Don't read the ugly posts! They're not there - they are not really there - they don't exist, nor does the ugly poster!!
Am glad you are okay, Michelle. Have you contacted your supervisor?

this is an ortho exam and he keeps repeating this throughout many of his dictations and I can't seem to find anything. It sounds pretty clear that he is saying michelle flip sign but I just can't verify that anywhere. Anyone ever hear of that?? Thanks so much for your help!
Bye MTs!! Michelle, MomMT and I are out for a night on the town! The limo
is here, and we are OUTTA HERE!!
When people use last names for first names.
You can't tell what sex the person is, and it just sounds so pretentious and stupid.
Hunter, Tyler, Taylor, Cameron, Morgan, Parker, Porter.
Really soap-operaish and annoying.
Well they DO have different last names. nm

re: looking up names
If the doctors do not bother to spell the patient names and the offices do not bother to provide me with a patient list for the visit date, they get a verbatim spelling of the name and a note to please check the spelling of all names. I don't have the time to dig around on the internet looking for their patients names and I do not feel it is my job and I do not expect my subs to do it. If they provide us with a list, yes, I expect them to use the list but otherwise they get what they say for names and the office has to verify the names. If the company you work for pings you for QA issues by doing this, then I honestly would find someone else to work for.
looking up names
oh, believe me I do get caught with that all the time and it sucks!!
Let's not name names, please.

names??
I'm applying to several presently...any chance you could tell me which bad ones those are?
first names sm
I am called Grammy by my grandchilden and "Mom" by my sons. However, my daughters-in-law were told they could call me by name as they have their own Moms. One does and the other one doesn't call me anything. I always sign cards, etc., "Mom and Dad and then our last name, so they will still be part of us, but these girls obviously are not as close to me as their own moms. If they did call me Mom it would be okay, but I don't think they think of me in this way, I would be honored if they did. It's difficult. Most of my son's older friends call me by Mrs. and a few, very few by our first names and it's okay. I don't like being too formal. You'll find with grandchildren at some point they will try to use the first name and we always snicker at it,it's just something each of them tried very, very briefly, perhaps once or twice; don't make a lot of it and it's a phase, they get over it quickly if you take it lightly and go right back to "Grammy and Grampy." As long as they don't make derogatory remarks and show respect, I think you have to play it by ear. It's not always easy.I prefer professionals to call me by my first name, a lot ask you on their forms what you wish to be called. I always use my first name, as I think Mrs..... is too stuffy. To each their own, I guess.
first names
I don't care what they call me as long as they are respectful which they all are. I have four girls and we have a house full all the time.
pet names
Shadow is Lab/Golden retriever mix (looks like a black lab)
Sugarbear is Golden retriever/collie mix.
Mr.Whiskers is a stray wire-haired terrier.
Callie is the Queen of All - our calico cat.
names
cat, Simon
cat, sushi, nickname, shooshoo
dog, spanky
I keep a log of every job and their names...nm
We have those names in our town too.

Blame the names
on the 911 system. To help keep dispatchers from having to deal with sound alike names and sending emergency services to the wrong street the 911 center in most areas gets the final say so on whether a street name is okay or not.
When a small rural county I lived in went with the 911 system those of us who lived in the small cities had to rename some of the existing streets since there were streets in the rural areas of the county over 50 miles away with the same names.
Not street names, but how about....
the STUPID names they give the different models of new homes... When we bought ours, they were things like El Capitan, El Sonoro..... etc. We bought the smallest and cheapest model and my DH always said that we bought the EL CHEAPO!
street names
Used to work on Blue Rock STREET...lived with my folks on Blue Rock ROAD...which has about 3 blocks of what people think are Cheviot Road...goes back to Blue Rock Road....then 5 miles away, next street over is OLD Blue Rock Road Road....creates havoc for delivery people
Street names
We have Easy Street and Boardwalk in our subdivision.
I use Superpages to look names up.
Same as checking in a phonebook..no other personal info.
patient names
This is a problem that I am currently struggling with. My accounts are not 'searchable' and some docs don't spell out the patient's names. I have QC'd these many times with a note AND my e-mail address asking QC if I should be sending all these reports to them minus the patient's name, or send it to them GUESSING the spelling, or just spell the names phonetically and NOT QC them. About 15 requests now, and NO REPLY!! Very frustrating!!! Otherwise, the account is really good. I am new, so did not realize that other platforms gave credit for footers, headers, etc. I know on DQS you get a fair line count on just the body of the report. Don't know about the rest.
Patient Names
You'd be surprised how many facilities have the patient's name on the report. Its not that uncommon. Depends on the facility and the company you work for.
the names are usually bleeped out...sm
for privacy reasons, as are dates, hospital names, etc. Anything identifying would be bleeped out...at least in my experience...
names bleeped
It is a test run so I am just not sure what they would want me to do. I have worked for several companies that use the doctor's names in reports but not the patients. Even at the local hospital they used the doctor's names but not the patient's name. What would you do on a test run for employment?
There are quite a few names that come to mind
for people like you. Who are you to try to slam me?
My income knocks me out of getting a lot of the "breaks" you are implying. I'm not taking advantage of any of you, period. I earn my way and always have. My children and I have never been on any type of assistance, EVER, and only 2 years have I ever qualified for EIC.
My income alone is more than most couples in this area. I see 2-wage-earner homes taking advantage of MY tax dollars, thank you very much.
You can just shut your foul mouth and stick it where the sun doesn't shine!!!
At least we have stuck to our names
and people know who we are unlike most posters on this board who change their name on every single post! I guess they like to be easily forgotten.
Funny Names
Harry Butts - I used to work with him - but he died. This was not the Harry Butts proctologist from Houston, though, it was another one from the Tarrant County Hospital District (Fort Worth)
We need to know the names of these companies.
There are too many that pay late or do not pay on time and some are very popular services
Thanks for update. I don't know any of those names, only
saw a few minutes of it, but I'll be watching or taping from now on.
The ugliest names...
Bertha, Gertrude, Janet, Janice, Harriett are horrendus.
The prettiest? Kiersten, Mandy, Natalie, Ursula, Natasha, Lana, Kiersti.....
ugly names
I used to work with a woman named GayDonna -- yes, that was her REAL name!!!
doctor names
Does anyone know a website where I can type in the name of a doctor with a "sounds like" feature to try and find the correct spelling of a doctor's name? AMA wants the doctor's last name ('required' it says). IF I KNEW THAT I WOULDN'T NEED THE DARN WEBSITE NOW WOULD I??!!! But it allows you to do a "sounds like" for the first name, which is not particularly helpful AT ALL. If anyone knows of any websites that allow this would you please enlighten me? I thank you so much!!

Thanks to you all very much for your help. I've made note of all these sites.

AMA's website - from here, click on patients, and follow the instructions. It has sound-alike feature
Spelling of MD names?
If you have a clue of what state they are in, I like: http://www.dr-411.com/doctorsearch.asp
my cats' names are
Tinker, Algebra, and Katrina. I also have a peach-faced lovebird named Pretty Bird.
I know she's posting under different names!
 And Patti REALLY needs to stop that, too!
It will help you learn MD names and
I think help you get a realistic idea of your nursing career. I don't have kids though. I hope you have a good support system.
Good luck to you.
Unusual names
I feel your pain, but they don't have to be foreign. What about Dakota? Is that a boy, a girl or the family truck? I know I shouldn't laugh. A dear friend has a lovely little boy with that name. It's just that when you're typing a report without a genital exam, how can you tell?
I used to be director of medical records in a tiny rural hospital, so I typed up the birth certificates. Here are some of my all-time personal favorites:
Caboose. A little boy, the 8th child. Mom didn't care what the Pope said, this was it and she had a tubal.
Princess Leia. The original Star Wars had just come out.
Vagina. Yeah, you read that right! A little girl. Nobody could change mom's mind. That was an interesting call from the Health Department!
Bambi. I know, it's more common than I thought. Great for a little kid who can't talk yet, but I have no picture of her 98 and in a nursing home.
Actually, my coworkers weren't any better. We threatened to provide a "name your baby service" for the parents who just couldn't come up with a name after 8-9 months of thinking about it. The Wolf twins were going to be Timber and Gray. The Fruit triplets were going to be Grape, Passion and Juicy. No, we never really did that, but we were tempted.
Hope you had a good laugh. You deserve it!
baby names
I had a neighbor who had 2 little boys - their names were Levi and Steele. Cute boys, too.
Names in dictation
My accounts don't allow pt. names in dictation, following AAMT recommendations, but what about names of family members? They could certainly be used to identify the pt.
