Call your local MD!

find a medical care provider, whomever is on call for your local MD, and do what they say. Once something lke this involves the head/neck/face, it can get hairy. And if it begins affecting his airway, there's hell to pay. Find someone medical to give you advice right away. Otherwise, he could end up on the floor, and you on the fone with 9-1-1.

at my local hospital, they always call the
I think that is pretty standard. Calling by the first name only would be rather confusing. Especially if it is a busy hospital with a waiting room that is always full, like our local hospital.
I have a "questionable behavior" story for you! I went to the walk-in clinic held at our local hospital b/c I was having pain in my pinky finger. The waiting room was packed, as always. I go in, see the doc, and he tells me to go back to the waiting room until they call my name again. After a few mins in the waiting room, he calls my name & I get up thinking he was going to bring me into a room to privately give me my diagnosis. NOPE! The dope says it to me, loudly - not at all in a whispering tone, in the middle of the waiting room for everyone to hear!! He said "I think it is some kind of fungal infection" His actions were not only humiliating, but wrong! It was not an infection, rather a blood clot that developed on my nerve that needed to be removed surgically! Now, that, I think qualifies for a HIPAA violation!!  (Yes I did file a complaint with the Patient Care Rep)
Call your local paper and see if they have a route
available in your area. You have to be an early riser and work 7 days a week though. I used to get up at 6:00 to walk. Now I get up at 5:00, walk for one hour every morning with only 65 newspapers, and I make an extra $70 to $80 a week for 7 hours a week.
My sister does 250 papers by car (roadside tubes) and she makes $1000 a month. It takes her 3 hours a day though and she has a full time job, so I think that's a bit much.
Seriously though, papers don't hire kids anymore to deliver because kids just can't or don't want to do it. Besides, who wants their 13-year-old out walking the streets at 5:00 a.m. ?.
No boss, good exercise, good money.
Go through your local yellow pages and call
companies who advertise they offer health insurance. Call several companies as the premiums can vary widely, although the coverage will be the same. I did this and called 6 different companies and the premiums varied as much as $200.00/mo for the same exact insurance. Celtic was the company that had the best rate for us, but that was nearly 4 years ago. If you have no pre-existing conditions you can get a temporary insurance through Fortis for 6 months to a year depending on your state, provided that you have not been without coverage for greater than 45 (I think) days. You can also go on-line to einsurance.com and get an idea of rates, though I still suggest you call local agencies.
Go through you local yellow pages and call
companies that offer health insurance and get a quote. Call several because the premiums can vary significantly. BCBS may have a low rate, but they are a pain in the rear to deal with and deny more claims than they pay.
Call your local BC/BS for private insurance. (sm)
I pay $292 for just myself with a $750 deductible. After the first year, they will pay for pre-existing. I hated mine at first, but I'm used to it now and it's coverage that will protect me. Thankfully, I make enough money that it's working out well for me. Check out the link below. They may have affordable insurance that will help you as well. A friend of mine is considering this. Her pharmacist thought it was a nice policy. Good luck.

I agree. Take none of this. Let their behavior be known and even if necessary call the local News
many TV stations have to help. There was a service in our city who never paid her people and the local news On Your Side was contacted and not only was she on the news for not paying but she was also picked up by the police. There is usually at TV station in every major area (even if they are not in a major area, will go to the local surrounding areas) to help folks with problems such as this. Take it to whoever you can. People like this do not respect you.
I never understood why people continue to work for people that are even one day late. Pay should be on time. If it isn't, the MTSO would never get an ounce more of work out of me and believe me he/she WOULD pay me! I am not one to let it go. I too have worked in the legal field and I do know how to proceed.
Just don't give them one more day of your time.
Call local dentists and see if you could talk (see inside)
with their hygienists. Maybe you could drop by at lunch time or something and they'd be willing to talk to you, or maybe you could arrange to chat by phone when they are not working.
Yes, call your local vet, any vet, and ask for the wild rabbit rescuer in your area.
There is always someone nearly everywhere. If you can't find one, please write me and I'll search for someone for you if you're short on time. They are so worth saving. Mom might still be around. Let's hope so!
Call a local camera store and see if they offer this service.
Many times photographers will also provide a similar service. I personally haven't had it done, but have heard of people doing this for a memorial service or a wedding. They can take still pictures/slides and incorporate them too.
I probably read about it on MSN or someone mentioned it to me. Maybe call local college or JUCO
?
Call a local school or program and ask. I was asked if I wanted to teach when I

My first job was a total cold call to small local company...got hired over the phone- sm
give it a shot. Look in your yellow pages or on-line white and yellow pages and see what you can come up with. MT Daily has a list by state of MT companies to with their contact info. Also test your butt off anywhere and everywhere on line, you will learn a lot during the process. I found it quite enlightening when I was doing it 3+ years ago. Good luck.
Buy local. The local stores pay taxes to support your city and state. (SM)
Using online and catalogues does nothing to promote the local economy. We complain about outsourcing and about the big companies gobbling up all the work so the jobs at local hospitals are gone, yet we do the same thing when we buy on ebay, catalog, and these web sites that may be located any place in the world as their primary business location.
I went local. Great local tech support, they know what I do and were able to set it up just for me
:)
got the "phone call" -- get this, MQ has hired a bunch of telemarketers to call all of us to
we received our "incentive packet." They don't even have the wherewithall to contact us personally. These are temp-agency hired telemarketers sitting around a boiler room making sure we're reading our mail.... told him it don't pertain to me because I've been demoted from FT to SE.... He said, "yes, the letter is vague, but it does pertain to FT as well as SE...." yeah right, we'll see.
*70 will disable call waiting unless you are expecting a call and want it on (nm)

On-call requires on-call compensation by law
This field gets more disgustingly grotesque daily.
Call me, call me anytime.
I'm waiting to hear back on a job. Call me!
Call KS and call your bank. Why ask here?
.
If they don't call you within 15 minutes, you should call them. There
is no excuse for leaving you sitting by a phone all day. At the very least, an e-mail explaining why the delay. If this is the way they train, how do they pay. Do you really want to work for a company who thinks so little of your time?
local
I am in a small town in Florida and I had one set up by a local one person company, cost me about 500 and he gave me a 5 year parts and labor warranty, I had a minor problem with it, I took it to his store and was back home in an hour - didn't have to have it shipped to me, didn't have to wait for "rebates" and would do it again any time.
would the local
mental health center be able to help? (if a child psychiatrist is not affordable) Might Social Services have a referral, or a crisis hot line possibly have referral information?
I think this child probably either has been exposed to visual porn in some form or is mentally ill.
Pray for them all too.
I have a local ISP (sm)
I have a local ISP so unless you live in the State of Michigan I am afraid this won't be much help to you. :) Here is the link anyway, just in case. :)

I would take the local job. sm
what is so nice about the local job is that you have the same dictators over and over. You can use your expander/templates/macros, etc to get really fast on a local account and work less and make more. Good luck. The local jobs are the best IMO.
I do both. Go local. Luv my local job. nm

Hi there! If I did a local account for a hospital, would I still need a license? I know for the state I am in I would need one if I had accounts of my own. Thank you so much!
Need to look for something local, like
a small clinic or doctor's office to get your foot in the door and get some experience. Most larger places require experience, but some only a year or so, so see what you can find locally, even if PT, and start there.
Now you know the local job market and my
home situation better than I do. For your information, I make more working parttime at home doing MT than I would working fulltime for any of the local advertising agencies. Plus, I don't have to travel or put my kids in daycare.  Thank you so much for your concern about my employment situation, though. And please, get off your 
I went back to local. sm
Local companies are popping back up because people are getting fed up and going back to local.
I had horrible trouble with downtime with Adelphia, so I switched. Last time I talked to Adelphia I talked to a "rep" who was obviously in India, who asked if I was enjoying the snow.
Arst uz enjozinz' snowz!
It was May!
Now I can call and say "Yo, Eric, hows it going? Having a little trouble here."
I went to wireless and I have toooooo many trees. They trimmed branches for free and they also gave me free dial up backup, just in case, so I won't lose any money.
I have had them since May and I haven't lost a dime. I've lost the wireless on occasion, but I have the dialup to back me up.
With Adelphia, I had downtime sometimes for days. Still had to pay the ridiculous bill though!!!
I like my national (PT) but my local is the best.
With my local I know exactly what I'm in for and how long it's going to take me. With my national, I can work hard at it and do the extra or just meet the requirement.
My local has picked up a ton of accounts so I may be able to find a national that doesn't have a "schedule requirement," i.e. 3 hours 4 days a week and one weekend day.
With my local, I can say, "Hey kids, not much work, let's go get ice cream?" They like that, but they hate "Mom's gotta burn the midnight oil."
It's a trade off. I'm not complaining. I burned my nylons in the fireplace last October and I don't miss them! 
I have one local account that does that (sm)
I've gotten used to the fact that he'll do a 2 page report on an established who is being seen for a an earache. He has to go through all of the other medical problems, review of systems, etc., instead of just saying something like medical history is in patient's chart.
The other doctor in the same practice will just do: Chief complaint: ear pain. Examination: Left ear is red. Assessment: Otitis media. Plan: Amoxicillin.
The hospital and the practice have tried to get him to cut his notes down, but apparently he likes to hear himself talk.
No skin off my nose, I see that I have a tape for him and I sing, "I'm in the money!"
thank you, that is great to know...how do you know it is local?
what is the best way to tell? we have a (small) butcher shop here, but I see the trucks pull in from all over, and they even have told me their meat is just ordered from all over.
Do you from a farm? I live in WNY, and there are plenty of dairy and cow farms, but was not sure they would sell direct...
Any information would be greatly appreciated!
I still will not eat meat, but my boyfriend does, and I have to make it every day...would feel much better if it was local...
I get it all the time. I have a local guy
who is amusing. He addresses every report to me personally because he knows I'll be typing it. Then he adds commentary and personal opinions. "I don't what this yahoo was thinking. G.D. idiot. blah, blah If you can figure this out, let me know."
Maybe get local accounts
I was lucky enough several years ago to hook up with a urology office that was expanding its practice. I did this at home for a long time. The pay was excellent and, of couse, only 5 doctors, so I got very used to doing them which increases your speed. Also, there was not all this looking up doctors from huge databases which really slows one down. Maybe you can check around your local city and find something like that. It doesn't hurt to try. Good luck to you both!
If local co can be trusted, then go with them, but SM
 will probably be more expensive. Again, they can probably customize it for you.
On the other hand, I just bought a Dell.
Get a local acct (sm)
The middle man is making money on your work. Cut out the middle man and you'll make more than $15 an hour.
I do not see how you can get around this with local accounts.
You are always going to run across patients that you know. That is why confidentiality is so important. Yes, I know things about people that sometimes I wish I did not know. However, the people who work in my physician' s office know things about me that I wish they did not know. My physician is a client of the service I work for, so I do not see any way around it. In my opinion, typing reports is no different that actually working in the office with the patients. You just have to keep your mouth shut.
Buying local ....
Unfortunately, some of us don't live in areas that have a lot of choice. My town is tiny and we have a teensy WalMart that has items that (I really think this!) have been there waiting to be sold since the day it opened years ago! I buy from JC Penney's from a catalog outlet here in town (if they're open) or online, sometimes I shop in one of the larger neighboring cities. Frankly, unless I'm buying cotton or watermelon, it ain't happening here :-).
However, in defense of your statement, when I lived in a larger city and had variety (and choices!) I did shop in town more often than not. I miss those days LOL.
Try "Airborne," an OTC from your local RX.

You have 911. There are local hospitals
with free nurse referral lines. That's just for starters.
You just take the cake for stupidity with your original question and now your silly offended replies.
Local MTSO's here
only pay 6-8 cpl. Some will not go higher than 7 cpl to start. I was told by the owner of the company I work for now that she has had to cut some of her charges in order to get new accounts.
According the local people here I don't need one - sm
that is good enough for me. Rather not spend the money if I don't have to. I am sure if they were wrong, I will be hearing from them again. Thanks for the heads-up though. Are you in a city or a rural area (I am rural, King William County).
Local accounts
Contact local doctors so that they know you are available either by flyer, brochure or cold calls. You cannot find a local account unless you contact potential clients.
My local vet went to Spain for
30 days, and it only cost her $11,000. This covered air fare, all hospital and doctor bills, followups over there, the residence, everything. She has lost weight and is happy she did it. She said her medical insurance would not pay and she could not afford to have it done here. Evidently this hospital does this for a lot of foreigners. I live by the Canadian border and the folks here have always gone up to Canada for dentistry and to get prescriptions filled because it is so much cheaper. Also for laser eye surgery. My hubby needs dentures and is going to Canada to get them because it is so much cheaper. Medical care in this country is very expensive.
local business
Look in your yellow pages for companies that re-cycle as they will stand behind their cartridges -- at least in Portland they do. I have a large laser HP and my toners cost me over $100 at Office Depot even their re-cycled one. But several local companies offer for about $75 to $85 and they deliver and last just as long. I do a lot of printing and so go through about 3 per year at 10,000 copies per toner. Seems sometimes it is cheaper to buy a new printer.
You may be able to file at the local...
magistrate's office (I believe in the employer's area) if it is under a certain amount. Most have to be under $5,000, some less, some a little more. This would save attorney fees. Just depends on how much you are owed.
MT - Local Company
Sorry, I wish they were. It's a small local company in the town where I live. They won't hire anyone else unforunately. She's trying to save money.
Google in the name of your local
hospital.
local physicians
I was wondering if any one knows if local physicians would rather hire certified MT to do their work from home. I am thinking about supplementing my income with a national and wondering if this would be a good way to go. Any insight into this would be greatly appreciated !!
local jobs
someone mentioned that younger docs like the electronic way of sending the transcripts. I have 9 years experience as a MT but this is all new to me if I was to do this with local docs. Is there a way to have them sent to you electronically or would they all be a pick up a tape and deliver process? If it is a tape is there a better device than another to do this? Thanks to all in advance. 
How does one get local accounts?
I would like to know how one gets local accounts or how does one make $4500 per month?
