drug and urine test
Hi everyone. Need help . Someone told me that Ephedra shows up in urine and blood tests as an illegal drug. Took those tests today. I take Ephedra twice a week to help with weight loss. Will it really show up, does anyone know?
Microalbumin Urine Test
Found on Google:
What affects the test?
Having menstrual bleeding or vaginal discharge, which may temporarily affect the urine sample.
This is true! We have a Dr. Urine
He is married too.
my cat's spraying problem was a ton of bacteria in the urine
He was a feral that I adopted and he'd been spayed, etc., but he wouldn't stop spraying. I really thought I was going to have to have him put down. The RECEPTIONIST at the vet's office says, "So, have you had his urine checked?" which was about the only thing we HADN'T done - once he got that truckload of antibiotics under his *belt* he stopped spraying - that was two years ago and he has not sprayed one time since. By the way, if you have never tried "Anti Icky Poo" it is the best odor remover I have ever used and NOTHING else touches cat spray/urine like this product (I don't work for the company, honest) - the vet will even give you a needle to squirt it under the carpet with - it works enzymatically (is that a word?) and there won't be a trace of odor left. The odor won't come back either.
Anyway, just an idea. I hope you can figure it out because there is nothing worse than cat spray in the house....eeewhew!!
The doctor just said ^^ The patient was given a bolus of urine. ^^
Don't we just love our jobs !!
doc said the patient was dehydrated, so was given a bolus of URINE n/m
OH me
I hate to use mare's urine - think of the poor horse! but
it's the only thing that works for me. I have tried the *natural* stuff and ended up with either a bad tummy ache or nothing at all. It's the night sweats that I can't handle. Every night waking up drenched, unable to sleep. The doc convinced me it was a quality of life issue and basically, I wasn't having any, so I'm back on the very lowest dose. I hate it because of the horses and it doesn't cut out the hot flashes completely, but it helps.
The drug companies are too worried about men not being able to keep a hard on to explore the comfort of women. This research crap they are always handing us is just that, crap. They are looking for the big bucks. period.
You need to get the smell/urine enzymes out of the carpet and furniture - sm
The dog will just continue to go back to where he peeed (?) again and again because he smells his scent. I don't think neuturing him will make a difference in that respect. You need to go buy Nature's Miracle Odor & Stain remover. It's pricey but it does the job....I learned this by working at PetsMart years ago and by personal experience. You have to soak whatever it is the dog peeed on though and let it air dry, takes a couple days. You will have to decide on how to "contain" him until the smell is gone, either in a smaller area of the house, outside, whatever. You might want to seriously try training him to go outside. He never learned that he should NOT go inside so that behavior of him going wherever he wants in the house is going to be difficult if not impossible to change. You may want to call a professional legit dog trainer in the area and get their thoughts and suggestions. You are going to have a hard time modifying the dogs behavior, but with a LOT of persistance and consistency you can prevail. Good luck.
As dictated, we may start urine replacement at 0.5 cc/mL for output greater than.....

It's a test in progress to measure what MTs know and what type of test to give for the SM
different levels of MTs. It's over $90. That's a lot of money to pay to someone who is giving these tests for research as to what type of testing should be done for the different levels of MT. The AAMT will probably take the results and make a test that they can give in India or the Phillipines or some other foreign country.
tuning fork test: Is it about a hearing test? .See inside
A whisper is about 20 dB
Loud music (some concerts) is around 80 to 120 dB
A jet engine is about 140 to 180 dB
Hope I could help
Not a medical typing test but this website can test you..
It's called www.typingtest.com
Atleast it will give you an idea.. Sadly, I had to take it twice before I passed it LOL
Why would they do a microalbumin test when she has the period? A lot of test s will come out wrong

Neer's test is a shoulder impingement test
Don't think that has to do with the knee. How about "bucket handle tear" of the knee? Never heard of Neer having anything to do with the knee.
Not a word help question: Would menstrual blood mixed with urine cause increased microalbumin? (pl
My 21-YO daughter has type 2 DM, but it is very well controlled by diet alone. She just had some lab tests done (blood and urine), and they called to let us know her urine microalbumin was slightly elevated. However, she was on her period when they did the urine test, and she said there was definitely blood mixed in with her urine because of this. Does anyone know if this would affect the microalbumin result? They want her to start taking a small dose of lisinopril, but she doesn't want to and wants to wait 6 months for the next test. Her hemoglobin A1c and other values were "perfect" according to the nurse who called, but we are waiting for the actual results to come via mail.
happens quite often i would test again or go see your GYN for blood test which is more accurate

Yeah a 30 minute test---work for free, he gets enough to test, his work is done - nm

Or maybe that in itself IS the test! It's really an ethics test, LOL. nm

Wondering how many companies this is set up for....
HealthScribe, Avicis, Spheris, MQ, TRS, Medware, others?

You really should not be asking for help if this is a test sm
If this is a test for school or employment, it really should be done by you. It is not a fair test if someone else does it for you. If this is not a test, please clarify and maybe people will help, but I think it is cheating otherwise.
test, this is only a test. nm

If this don't work, I'll quit.
If this is just a test then (sm)
why don't you just pick something...like @@@ or ??? or *** or something like that...leave it for where you find it inaudible, and when you send back your test just tell them. You could do ___inaudible___...anything. Just let them know when you send the test back. If you were actually working, then you'd go by the account specifics for how leave a blank, but for a test, just pick something appropriate and let them know.
We have to test because there have been....sm
too many times that people claimed they were transcriptionists, or could do a certain work type, only to find out they couldn't and were bluffing. Testing is the only way to tell if an applicant has any knowledge or not. Resumes don't always tell what their true skill level is.
That's the best way for a co to test you because they never know if someone sm
is having someone else take a written test for them. The best way to test and just as accurate as mega transcription tests is oral phone testing. That way, it comes from what is in the person's head of what they know

Don't feel bad....I've been an MT for 24 years, & failed 2 tests, but passed several others.
Yes, and it's $95 to test for it...
I cannot imagine what they will come up with next! Obviously AAMT is in a crisis financially and is trying to dig their way out. Why would anyone desire this bogus, worthless designation?
I'm thinking of offering an "SMT" for only 10 bucks . . . and NO TEST!!! What do you think???
Oh, what is "SMT?" That would be Smart Medical Transcriptionist, of course!!!!
To test him I'd say
Gee honey, I'd don't want to disappoint the children again. Maybe next time we'll suprise you instead.
I wonder what his reaction would be to that!

TEST
I did a 3 EPT's all were positive with lines that were hard to read and yes the lines took a few minutes to show and a blood test at the doctors office which confirmed, by the time you spend money on pregnancy tests you can go to your doctor and pay a 10.00 copay and get a result... just an idea !!! I'm officially 7 weeks !!!!!
Probably a different test.
AAMT likely won't flunk many of them. They wouldn't want to scare away the hordes of potential buyers of their BOS and CMT certification.
Who can take CMT test?
I am just curious if I live in Canada, would I be allowed to take the CMT test ? or is it just strictly for american MT's? Would it benefit me as a IC ?
Tanks
CMT self-test
I just took the 60-question self-assessment test. A passing grade is 51/60. After 16 years of acute care experience, I got 43/60 correct. That blows my mind!
I'm asking myself 'who needs this' ???
We can't help you take a test. You just have to do the best you can.
That's all any testee can do. After all, we aren't applying for the job. They expect you to leave blanks where you can't get something.
just a test to see if I can get
a post to go up here. Last time I tried, I messed up royally somehow. 
JUST A TEST

before you test
Purchase Stedman's Ophthalmology Words before you test.
It is one test....
They give you a 6-hour allowance for the entire sitting.
You go in, give your ID, are shown to your test computer, given brief instructions on headset, etc.
Sign into the test site on the computer. Take a little instructional demo and practice. When you're ready, you start the test.
First, just questions (objective portion), like 120 or so of them. Multiple choice mostly (maybe all of them are mx choice - I can't remember now, lol).
When you complete that part, you get to review any you marked for later review, answer them, verify all of your answers and submit that part.
Computer asks you if you want a break. Take it or not. Start the performance part.
Performance part is about 60 (I think, geez - my memory now, lol) snips of dictation where you either transcribe the whole snip, fill in a blank on transcription provided for the snip, or listen to the snip and decide which pre-transcribed piece is more accurately typed. A few have no snips to listen to -just choose the correct transcription (look at spelling, punctuation, grammar, medical terms, etc.).
Then you're done.
Took me 1 hour and I missed 2 on the entire exam.
try this little test
Try this test. Put your thumb in your fist, and then try to move your fist laterally while holding your arm and wrist straight. If you get a shooting pain, then it could be DeQuervain's tenosynovitis. I have that and I wear a neoprene glove at night that just has a thumb in it and no fingers. You can check out the symptoms of it online. Hope it helps.

I actually refuse to do that much testing anymore. I always ask what the pay is before i even bother. Some companies actually respect you when you say you will not do all 4 typing tests. I think this is absolutely ridiculous! Don't waste your time unless you know if its a place where you would even like to work by knowing pay, etc.
just take the test
really, just complete it. It is completely frustrating, I know, but like my previous post says, it is a TEST - to see what you'll do, how you'll handle it. If you refuse to do it compared to others who took it, stuck it out, and blanked it all over the place, at least they gave it an honest stab. MTs who say they demand this and that before testing and refuse to test if they don't give information might be letting a good job go. When I become demanding is after I've tested and they see what I am capable of - that's when I demand what I'm worth. Of course, if they say off the bat they are paying less than what I'm willing to accept, I politely refuse to take their test. Some won't tell you until after you've tested to see where you'd fall in their range of pay.
CMT Test
Can anyone clarify something for me. I have an authorization to test and when I called the testing center, there are supposedly 2 parts, B and C and the total cost being 345. I was under the impression it was all 1 test and right now had a reduced rate for members of 150. I called ADHI and left a message but have not heard back. Am so confused because the testing center says I have to pay 345 or they cannot schedule any of it. Does anyone have any current info?
You could take the test here.

Does anyone know of no test?
Does anyone know of any companies that do not test to hire a new MT? I know Spheris doesn't, but am just curious if there are anymore.
I just took a test like that sm
They said to allow 3 hours and I took just over an hour to do it. I was so tired from just this sort of testing, I didn't even check the transcription portion over. I sent it and said to heck with this, I am tired!!! I heard back the next day, was offered the job at the highest line rate they pay. It was fine, but while I was typing all those ESL test reports I thought I'd scream. I feel your pain.
