Selling body parts in the US sm
There was a brief mention of a recent arrest (I believe it was in New York) of a phony business set-up involving funeral homes, etc., selling bone grafts, etc. from dead bodies (one was supposedly Allistair Cook's body of the PBS fame) and replacing these parts with PVC piping in some cases. These people made "millions" and the patients/families had to be notified. One man was practically crying because he had been told he has to be tested every 6 mos. for HIV, hepatitis, etc., since he had a recent surgery on his neck. They said it may not present itself for years in some cases. They showed some gentlemen being led away in handcuffs but the story was cut short. Anyone else know about this travesty and why so little else has been said about it or is there any web site, etc., that explains it in more detail? Would like to know morel I am very concerned for the recipients as well as the unbeknownst-to-them "donor" families. 
Disc is in CD (read the label). Disk as in body part. nm

CMT examination
Hi:
To anyone who has taken the CMT exam, I was wondering how many years of experience one would need in order to pass this test. I have been transcribing a little over 2 years. I have transcribed mainly multispecialty clinic. During the first year of transcribing, I had about 6 months experience with doing ER transcription as well. I know that money wise, the cpl rate of pay doesn't go up that much, but I would like to at least show that I am serious about my profession by taking the test.
Thank you in advance for any response or information.

ASTRO-light examination is that right???
Independent Medical Examination(s)....
It is her body, but now there is ANOTHER body inside of her. sm
Right now I counsel pregnant teens as I had 2 myself and regret that decision every single day of my life. I've learned over the years that God has forgiven me and that my 2 babies are waiting for me, but the guilt and shame that this decision ultimately brings isn't worth it. Besides, that baby sooo deserves a chance at life, love, and laughter. Don't you agree?
I agree with Ronald Reagan: I am Pro Choice - if the baby has a choice, then I am pro choice.
Yes! Rec'd it in 2 parts ...
Half after 3 months, the other half after 6 more months (when I had been there 9 months). I didn't even have to remind anyone!!!
15 to 18 cpl in some parts of the Northeast

There is so much anger in all parts of the (sm)
transcription community, that I'm seriously surprised that it hasn't resulted in something really terrible.
Screen in 2 parts, need only 1
let me state over as maybe someone knows how to get out.
4 regularly, parts of 5 more sm
I do only OPs, so I have some free standing surgical centers and a hospital, I do all of those OP notes. It is only about 75 to 100 reports a day with all of that. It sounds like a lot, but I have tons of normals, I am not working all that hard :-).
I have a couple of specialties in OP notes that almost no one else can do, certainly not either of the companies I work for, so I pick up those specialties for an additional 4 facilities with any regularity, but it will be 5 once in a while.
This is not something I exactly asked for, it is just how it has worked out. Having that many different accounts is not for everyone, neither is the fact that I have about 200 different voices regularly, and another 200 once in a while. This is MY comfort zone and I don't recommend it.
Thought it was $350 to take the 2 parts? nm

Did you look for them in Quick Parts? sm
AutoText doesn't work the same way in 2007. They are now part of the Quick Parts building blocks and you no longer get the tip box when you type your names. You can still get them to expand with F3 if you can remember the names. Otherwise, you have to get to them the long way through the Insert menu. Did you look to see if they transferred to Quick Parts? If not, you can rename your old normal.dot and take out any macros, then copy that dot file to the building blocks folder. Do this with Word closed. They should be there when you reopen Word.
They are in Quick Parts! Wow!
Now, I have to just learn how to use them!! lol 
Thank you. I didnt know if there were a lot of parts to assemble.

You misunderstood my whole post (probably the way I did it - in 2 parts)
Here is what I mean. I learned in 1965 with no training. Then several years later, someone told me I was spelling Fahrenheit wrong. Now fast forward to 2006. I've been doing this for 30-40 years, very few medical spelling errors, and NOW is when my company nitpicks.
Just like trying to buy original factory parts for a -(sm)
Ford truck that is more than 5 or 6 years old! The dealership's reasoning: 'Most people replace their trucks every 2 or 3 years.' Why tout them as being 'Ford tough' and as lasting for decades, if you can't buy parts for them after 5 years? Geezz.......
I agree 100% with your conspiracy/survivalist/money-making tactic for AAMT. No BOS was ever needed 'til they came along and said it was.........
There are no safe parts of the country
Yours would be no different than mine. I watch news on TV and cannot believe when I hear someone say, I just cannot believe it happened in this neighborhood. Ridiculous! When I had children at home, no I paid for everything. I also worked my behind off - away from home by the way- because years ago, OMG, they actually had you to come into an office! I had no one to help me out. I did not start working from home until about 2005 so very doubable and I worked 2 jobs for years to make a living.
you must be new it these parts. search the archives. besides that we can't afford to QA QA.
We're on production. You?
It is cheaper for members. Only one test but 2 parts.

those whole roasted chickens or fried chicken parts
you buy in grocery store are chickens that the sale dates is very close to expiring, so they cook them and avoid throwing them away. I like my meat a little fresher than on the border of rotting time.
It's Maalox and Benadryl, equal parts, swish and swallow. nm

The easy part is making the decision to leave, the hard part is
actually doing it. Been in your shoes and it took me a year and a half to leave after I had made the decision to do so. It was the best thing I have ever done for myself and my girls. I had family and friends and a counselor telling me what needed to be done and I knew what needed to be done but until I had the courage on my own to do it I stayed. One day, we had an argument and he spit in my face and that was the last straw for me. Even though it is something that I will NEVER forget, that day is also a day I will never forget because it is the day that I took my kids and left. I am a single mom of 2 and have been single and supporting us for 5 years now. I have been healing ever since and still am to this day. You can do this. I know that if I hadn't have left and I would have stayed one of us would be dead by now or both.
see what I mean? LOL ... physical not physician...

physical lines
If you are on DQS,the physical line (the line you see) in the text is not the 65-character line you are paid by. And the number of characters in that line can vary depending on how high/low you have your text zoom (smaller font would be more characters on a line and fewer with large font).
Your lines are calculated by dividing the amount of characters in a report by 65. It has nothing to do with the "line" you see on the report.
The best way to be sure DQS is counting your lines correctly is to import a report into a word processing program that counts characters, divide that amount by 65, and see if it matches your DQS count. I've done this and it is correct including spaces and the red headers.
Hope this is what you were asking and hope this helps :)
Did you get physical address??
Did you get the name of her company and the physical address? Phone number? There is a lesson to be learned here -- you still need to get all of this info in case something like this happens again. Unless you have a physical address you cannot send a demand letter with return receipt or serve her with papers or anything. Hopefully you do have that and can send her a written certified letter demanind payment within 10 days. Then onto small claims court. But none of this is possible without a physical address. Good luck. If you have her full name or business name and city -- you might be able to do a search to find a phone number. Did her check to you have a phone number on it? I always take a copy of the front of checks at least the first one so that I have their account number, etc. Also shows payment. Let us know how it comes out.
Physical Therapy
I have a physical therapist interested in me doing his transcription. It is a small office, they only work about 3 days a week, and I was wondering what to charge him per line? I currently work for an eye dr. making .11 a line and a service for .09. I may have to travel once a week to pick up tapes?(hope not) Any feedback is appreciated.
Cook in equal parts BBQ and grape jelly. Crock pot if time. Yum! nm
What?! You are WRONG? Physical Therapy - more than that.
Pharmacy - WAAAAY more than that. In fact, I don't think ANY of those pay $12 to $18 an hour. You really should open your eyes and look around.
DH would be outpatient, and then physical therapy.
He has decided not to have surgery, at least not now. He would be out of work 3 weeks without short-term disability and only 1 week of sick pay, plus he says we can't afford surgery. While that is true, if you need it, you need it. I think he's as much scared as anything. The only surgery he has ever had was a vasectomy under a local and he refuses to take anything stronger than Tylenol. He isn't hurting now, no swelling, etc. so it isn't like he is in daily pain. I've tried to talk him into the surgery because we've met our deductibles and while it isn't that much we would have to start over with that, but I can't make him do it.
Physical Therapy Transcripiton
Hello! I'm looking for any of you that are experienced as Physical Therapy transcriptionists. Can anyone give me a head's up about transcribing in this specialty? I've done psychiatric for the past five years and am pretty sure I'll get this position I've applied for at a local clinic. Any support, resources, etc. would be fantastic!
Thanks in advance to all,
Terry
yearly physical (joke)
I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basics.
How much do you weigh?" she asks.
"115," I say. The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 140.
The nurse asks, "Your height?" "5 foot 8," I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5' 5".
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
"Of course it's high!" I scream, "When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"
She put me on Prozac
Have you considered Physical Therapy?
Or occupational therapy? There is a great need for it, it helps people, and you generally don't kill anyone (grin). While it takes a master's degree to be a physical therapist, the assistant is a 2-year degree.
I have an application in to the physical therapy program at my university, and I'm a little nervous because I'll be turning 50 my next birthday. On the plus side, I won't have children surreptitiously sticking the cat into a Ziplock bag while I'm trying to study this time.
Need some physical therapy websites
Just got a call for transcription for 2 physical medicine doctors and 5 physical therapist and they want me there tomorrow. I'm looking for some websites for terminology/word list/samples that I can review. Thanks. Wish me luck. This is a temp to hire position both onsite and at home. Sounds good to me.
Gross physical line??
From what I have been told, a gross physical line is anything typed on a line, regardless if it's one letter or 65. My question is ... would 8 cpl on a gross physical line for acute care be good pay? How about 7 cpl on a gross physical line for emergency room reports? Thanks
Physical therapy website
Have been trying to find a good PT website. I Googled and did not find what I was looking for, which is a site that lists tests, like "cat and camel" and so forth.The sites I have found are not user friendly.
No dial tone? No foot control? What's wrong? Are all parts plugged in? Is your phone

You and your kids need to get out, permanently, BEFORE he gets physical from the drinking. nm

Walking will not only improve your physical health
but probably your mental health too. You'll get fresh air, take time to smell the roses, meet your neighbors, etc.
Unfortunately I live in the county and we are 8+ miles from anything.
Did he have blood work w/his job physical? Maybe they missed something. nm

Please excuse my typo above - physical therapy

Any kind of intimacy emotional or physical
is being unfaithful. Put your effort into your best friend, who should be your mate, otherwise, what is the point? If you put your effort into someone else, of course you would be close.
Honestly, your heart knows what is right and wrong. Listen to it. Respect your relationships or expect to be disrespected yourself.
Physical therapy format needed...
I just started a new account which is typed in a form in Word. It is not very efficient. Can anyone suggest where I can find a basic format for transcribing physical therapy evaluations.
Thanks
Physical fitness exams DO NOT require
breast exams. We are required to have them for school before certain grades in our state, and never do they do breast or GYN exams on kids.
I just looked at the physical form online...
There is nothing on it about a breast exam, sorry. I live in PA, too. My daughter got her permit a couple of years ago and she did not have a breast exam. (I'm still with you on the Gardasil, though!)
IF IT'S THE PHYSICAL STRAINS YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT...SM
How many waitresses do you see in their 60s and early 70s doing a job that would rival any nursing job as far as physical strai?. You might want to look on the NURSING BOARD, where they have students 58-59 y/o just starting nursing school; I'm among them, even though I have prior nursing education and need to finish up a few months/years.
If you think a full-fledged RN program might be too much to carry at this point, have you considered an LPN course for 12 months FT or 18 months PT study? LPNs make a fair salary, even as newbies ... beats this MT "indentured servitude".
HEADERS....as in what? The things like HISTORY AND PHYSICAL headings?
or the heading at the top of the page that we don't type?
and do you find it a little offputting that they can't put in writing that they pay for spaces? it makes me think all is not kosher.
IF by PT you mean Physical Therapy -- it's EASY! I love PT, don't get it where I work now tho

Probably old question..history and physical plural or singular?
A history and physical was done OR A history and physical were done.
