John and Paul.
 I love them both as a team and separately. Just think of all the wonderful music we lost out on because of Lennon's death.
JOHN LENNON
Awesome wit, great songwriter, good looking as they come.....ummmm. I miss him!
John Lennon
John Lennon died in 1980. By that time, the Beatles had parted. Paul was then "Paul McCartney and Wings". Paul is the one who broke up the Beatles. John was the main music writer. ACtually I think John and Paul were each better on their own.
Is this right? (location of JR in name): DOE, JOHN JR ? Thanks for your help. NM
John Lennon
I have always loved John Lennon. He was my favorite from the first time I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan. I was just a kid but I fell in love with John the minute I saw him. I remember the day he died so vividly. I was totally in shock, OMG, blew me away. I miss John Lennon and his music.
Peace to you as well. Isn't that what John
was all about?
He didn't care about the money. He just wanted everyone to be peaceful and understand that peace, love and kindness to all mankind was all that would matter.
It's a sad world with all of the hate and anger when there is so much to see and do and be thankful for.
I honestly think that John Lennon would have been absolutely mortifed, had he lived long enough to see all of the hate that has made our world crazy.
Like John said, "All we are saying. . . is give peace a chance."
Elton John
RadGuy.. Lucky You. I have seen him in concert. He is absolutely awesome. You won't be disappointed. By the way, I am a late 60s teenager. You will have fun!
Elton John
Are you in for a treat! I'm an old 70's teen too. Saw Elton twice in the 70's in his wild costume days - the first was denim shorts with suspenders and red and white striped knee socks. The second was a Emerald Green Lame' (lamay - not lame) tuxedo. He was awesome, very energetic.
Saw him again 11 years ago on tour with Billy Joel, outfit more toned down, and he didn't jump around as much, but just as awesome.
You've never been to a rock concert? Be prepared for it to be loud!!! My ears used to ring after them when I was younger, not so much any more, but very loud.
Just bought Elton John Chronicles a 3 CD set - has his 70's stuff - Elton John, Tumbleweed Connection, and Madman Across the Water. -- AWESOME set.
Have fun!!!
Elton John...
OMG! He was (hate to use this cliche, but it fits) AWESOME. It was in the beautiful US Bank Arena in Cincinatti - he sang almost ALL his old songs with these fantastic special effects. He just plowed thru all these classic songs without stopping for three hours. Just blew me away - even tho I was in the "nosebleed" section but it wasn't that high up and there was also a huge big screen. Definitely a peak experience. And no one puked on me!
John & Yoko...

John Mellencamp, 4 sure!
Picks me up whenever I'm down every time! When I'm already up, it can make me smile!
My husband just started learning how to play guitar about 6 months ago and he can almost play Pink Houses!
You RULE!
What a win-win situation!
I wish the animal shelters took better care of our pets (since they are a part of the government and all). I don't know why those shelters smell so bad; the shelter in my county stinks so bad that you are constantly aware of it. Taking care of displaced or hurt animals should be a big part of their job, and they could take measures to ensure the animals don't get sick. I understand all about their being overworked, but then someone should report to the higher ups what is needed, and then there should be no problem meeting those needs.
In a neighboring county where I live, the public went toe-to-toe with the director over the animal division; demanding answers about the operations and procedures. (That director said he needed a new building, but the public thought the changes should be made in their operations and procedures.
When I want a dog, I always adopt (so far over the years I've adopted 2 beagles).
Nice post!
First rule of being an MT
That's what I was taught. Everyone is in the same boat and has to take the bad with the good. Refusing to do the hard stuff makes it worse for the other MTs on that account, and they will not appreciate it. Until the problem doctors go poof and disappear, nobody has the right to say they can shove all the bad jobs onto the next MT because THEY are here to make money (everyone is, and someone has to type it). And there is such a thing as Karma - one day you might log on to find ALL the work is the dictator you dread, because all the MTs that came on before you felt entitled to leave the crap work for YOU. You really won't make any money on that shift, as opposed to doing a few bad jobs each shift. So type them as you get them, like the rest of us.
If everyone got together and went to management about the problem guy, that's one thing (and yes, we all feel this way about at least one doctor). Deciding you don't have to do it because you don't want to is quite another, and often grounds for disciplinary action. Work is often just that, hard work, and with time and practice it becomes easier. Nobody promised you a rose garden, challenges are what this job entails.
MY first rule, before being MT. is I have to

"Woman" (I think that's the name) by John Lennon (nm)
.
John Lennon was much more than about drugs. NM
.
The same goes for John and Yoko. They can preach to others
but they are not without sin. Why is it Ok for them to be judgmental of others and tell others how to live?
John Lennon was a bazillionaire. he had seen it
The only thing left at that point was to eat a placenta. Look at it from that point of view.
John Lennon did NOT eat a placenta!
As he would say - rubbish.
Elton John just got married...to a MAN!
LOL...Merry Christmas John Boy!
:) Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and very Happy New Year! :)

John Doe is a 56 year old female

The first rule of being self-employed is that
you set your own line rate. However, we all know that NONE of the MTSOs hiring IC MTs allow us to set our own rate. They "offer" a rate, and we accept if it's OK.
I worked for a real cheapo doctor when I first started out. He paid hourly and kept riding my backside to type faster because he only wanted to pay for the actual time dictated instead of the time it took to transcribe. More than once I told him that it takes an average of 3:1 typing to talking ratio to get it done. It worked out to be $.03 per line. I dropped him like a bad habit. He bounced through a few other transcriptionists who all quit on him before he wound up having to pay to outsource to a service.
as a general rule...
I use an "f" after any abbreviation that I want to expand. I just use the standard abbreviation plus f, so I do not forget what they are. My ShortHand is full of things like this.
ex: cbcf tcpf tshf
Works for me!
date rule
Thanks. My mind just blanked and I couldn't remember. It seems like it has changed so often over the years!
I have been an MT for 33 years and the rule has always been...sm
to use mg when preceeded by a number.
and there are so many exceptions to all those rule! lol
that's the english language for ya! I really don't know.
My rule for semicolons
is that if the two statements support each other and each statement could be a separate sentence, I use a semicolon. Example: He underwent an ultrasound in March 1999; AT THAT time he was noted to have BPH. The sentence you asked about should be done like 'NM'says: He underwent an ultrasound in March 1999, at which time he was noted to have BPH.
Thought that was already a rule
Hmm...I thought that that was already in effect, that no US Govt transcription contracts could go overseas/be outsourced - at least the V.A. has that standard in place...
sorry you haven't read the Book of John
he is the only way to get in and you have to believe in what he did for you. Doesn't matter how good you try to be.
none of them are cute or relatable except John Lennon
Today is John Lennon's birthday. He would have been 65.
Another victim of the world's insanity and senseless violence.

Can you imagine a "dear John" letter to Ed
Dear ED(erectile dysfunction):
You're a great guy, Ed, but things are just not looking up for our relationship...
sorry couldn't resist.
John Feehery, Pub pundit, admits
on Hardball with Chris Mathews that Obama DID NOT call Palin a pig!......of course, I knew that, but there's the proof!!!
I was always told as a general rule
it was double. Most of the time, however, I think it is slightly over that.
Rule Books and AAMT
AAMT sure brought this profession to the forefront. However, when they started publishing their own Bible (BOS) there are a lot of grammatical errors in there. Also, the styles they use are not accepted in this part of the country and will be considered "errors" by the client, hospital or clinician who do not want their reports set up in this manner. It is wrong to test people on a style that is not accepted in their part of the country. You are only forcing people to learn a "new style" which the facility in your area will consider completely wrong. Then the private company will comply with that particular hospital and change the set-up. Sadly, the person who took the test and did not use the BOS has a lousy score and is not considered for the job although s/he meets the set-up criteria for hospitals in the area where they live. Go figure, spend all that money for the book, or just test and get 100 per cent and then study the style of the facility who is paying for the work and then be 100 per cent right. Don't judge all tests by style, wait and see what the hospital is paying you wants for the style. You are putting the cart before the horse. Been in long enough to know that the BOS is absolutely not the "Bible" and the testing companies should take this into consideration. You could study this book until you're blind and then have to "unlearn" it to comply with the paying $$$ facility who is the ultimate "boss" of how the work will be turned in and accepted. Kabish? If I turn in a discharge summary in my local hospital according to the BOS style, I would be considered a total idiot. If I used the local hospital style for testing nationally, I would probably rate a 65% on what the hospital would consider 100% correct for style and grammar. Can't win.
It's the AAMT new BOS rule on numbers.
