DOCTOR STATES OPINION AS FACT
Posted By: just an MT on 2006-06-29
In Reply to:
I have a dictation that I really hate to send to put in the patient's chart. The doctor has stated as fact an opinion about this patient's illess (namely pain and depression). The statement that was made is going to follow this patient and probably keep her from receiving adequate treatment now and in the future. I know that as MTs we are to transcribe what the physician says, but I really feel for this patient as this physician is doing her a diservice - and I would think that if this gal is smart she would find herself an attorney, as this doctor is working on opinion rather than facts. The physician is foreign and has a much different view of the subject than informed "American" physicians - I just hate to have my initials on this poor woman's chart, knowing that the doctor is not adequately treating her problems. Okay - my vent for the day.

It aggravates me when a doctor states "will keep you appraised of" when he really means

I respect that opinion. In fact, I agree with it.
I don't feel it's professional to drink on the job. However, if other people feel they can have a glass of wine while doing their own work, that's their deal. It's not like anyone gets drunk off of one alcoholic beverage, unless it's a really huge Long Island iced tea. LOL
My posts weren't directed at you, but at those people who think name calling, rudeness, belittling people, and being judgmental is merely "expressing a different opinion". You can completely disagree with someone and keep it civil. That's being respectful and mature.
No, actually they don't. You guys run on emotion, not fact. And when fact is presented,

k, that is your opinion, i stated mine. poor quality in my opinion shows bad work ethics if they do

Also they have to pay to set up new states
So they might not want to hire from states not set up in already.
Indeed it does, as the letter clearly states
it was a DEP error
It clearly states in the message that they

document where the IRS states this please? nm

she states below that she did try in the past sm
to bring on another IC but they were resistant to the idea.
She has already tried doing what you suggest, to no avail.
I have been in this situation as well, and while it is very true that we are, in essence, vendors to our clients, there are offices that are truly difficult to work with.
It is a good idea to consider taking an employee position in this case, I agree, but please know that she's already tried addressing the issue in the way you suggest. :-)
Some *states*. YIKES!

Working in 2 different states. sm
I know a MQMT who does this. I don't know the particulars, but she's literally on opposite ends of the map at different times. It seems to me that there should be no problem doing this. Of course, time zones, etc. may vary, but things like that should be easily resolved.
Have fun, whatever you decide!
I work for a hospital 6 states away. SM
I have a physician list and I have a website to look for other doctors. But how can they expect me to know how to spell patients' names? They can't. I have a disclaimer at the top of my log sheet that says common or phonetic spellings will be used where patient name spellings are not provided.
That was the thing that held me up when I worked "live" from home for a hospital. All that diddling around finding out whether it was "Kathy" or "Cathy" -- I don't do that any longer and you're right, it makes a HUGE difference.
4 states are taking refugees
The governor of Louisiana has asked four states to take refugees: Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah. I know Utah is scheduled to take 1000, starting to be flown in today (call the governor's hotline at 866-873-2437 if you live in UT and want to help), but I don't know about the others. I would imaging they're taking more since they're closer. This is being coordinated through FEMA, but the governor's offices of those other states probably would be of more direct help. If you don't live in one of those states you could try to contact FEMA, but I imagine they're swamped right now.
I agree with most of this, but in most states you can't lock him out. sm
I agree you should get away from him, especially if there are kids involved, but in most states you're not allowed to lock him out of the house. It's his residence, too, and the police and judges will tell you that he has just as much right to be there as you do. Please be sure to check with a lawyer or with the local police before trying to lock him out of the house.
the post clearly states "replace" so you
Within 5 years, I think most if not all hospitals will be on ASR, and our final destinations as MTs will be editors. Until they decide they do not need these formatted reports altogether.
In most states, if not all, it is illegal for a company
to charge you up-front for information about work, software necessary to work, etc. They should do a payroll deduction, still doesn't guarantee they are a legitimate company though.
The audience would be the blue states,
aka, the ones who voted for Kerry. I guarantee this movie will flop in the red states. It's just one more attempt to push the gay agenda down our throats, making it more mainstream and palatable. Won't happen in my state, Texas. There is no such thing as a gay cowboy, that's an oxymoron.
Labor laws in some states (particularly CA) SM
are more stringent and some of the nationals won't hire from certain states because their laws are stricter than federal labor laws.
there R plenty of states where parents....n/m

All you fans of the government must be from one o' them RED states..........
If you have such a productive life, why do you even care about MT, let alone spend time posting on an MT forum?

I use this one all the time, good for all states.

Unless an employer states you can represent them in
Few employers will want employees to advertise their personal lives in such a way and then tag it to their employer.
I don't blame them, either.
People have no sense.
Actually it makes sense in all 50 states

How does your contract read??? It if states
you are doing the work then they have the right to drop you from their account as you are not adhering to your contract. They have a right to know who is doing their work.
Many states have the same program, called
Angel Food Ministries.
Have any of you in the higher priced states...
Just a question, don't get mad. I moved out of Delaware many, many years ago. The wages there are below national levels (don't know if its changed) and I found I could not be a single mom and buy a decent home for my child there. I did research and ended up in Florida where there is no state tax and cost of living was a lot cheaper. Even though we moved away from family, I think it was the best decision I ever made.
Some states just don't like Californians. PERIOD.
I know that having lived most of my life here, I would never want to live anywhere else, especially in a landlocked state with no ocean.
It certainly IS a national. They hire from other states.

Hope California would join the two states
doing the protest soon!!!
Resident of Louisiana and all of the United States
PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
As a resident of Louisiana, I ask that you all pray not only for those poor souls in New Orleans but for the whole state and surrounding areas. The aftermath effect is going to be widespread. PRAY! We are already experiencing food supply shortages. Woman fighting over a loaf of bread in a Wal-Mart. PRAY! Our kids may not be able to start school because there is no diesel or gas for the buses. PRAY! For this I urge all you have enormous SUVs just to ride around in to get rid of them. The worst is yet to come. PRAY! There are reports of the centers having out breaks of riots not only in New Orleans but in the other areas housing the displaced people. PRAY! Also, help any way you can. If you can not afford monetary donations, please give your time at one of the shelters.
All our lives have and/or will change from this tragedy no matter where you live.
Who is FREEDOMTYPE and are the in the United States? Thanks for any info.
most states have an internet registry where you can look up that info
When we bought our house, that website was one of the first places I went to before signing the contract.

Can you use "patient" where he states male and/or female? nm

This is not illegal in most states. Sometimes it's in the divorce agreement.

How long do states keep medical records?
My contract states 2 weeks for MT and 30 days for QA. nm

The Labor Boards says (I think for most states) inside
I have been there done that. When my paycheck was being withheld for whatever reason, I found out the Labor Board says your paycheck cannot be withheld for any reason, you have to work that out outside the paycheck. When I told that to the company, my paycheck usually arrived.
United States: No official language...
End of story...
I just paid $150 to take it in July 2008,,,in the states
with the study group discount
Nope...article states all doctors will be
doing all their documentation on the computer including orders, rx, bedside notes, x-rays, etc. They want to be paperless in the delivery of care. It states the doctors will be taught how to do their documentation on the computers. The way the article reads it sounds like there will be templates for everything and the docs will be taking the computer with them into the room(s) and entering info at that time.
Your post above states that if alllll these things would happen, THEN
MTs would care about quality, loyalty....
I say you should care, period. If you're handed a bad hand, deal with it...or change games.

When somebody states they got 'novocaine' at the dentist and you know its an archaic term.

Any ideas for family vacations near WV or surrounding states? sm
We are in such NEED of a relaxing fun vacation. We are from WV. We love the beach also. My husband and I have a 3-1/2-year-old son and are thinking about taking a vacation early June or mid-June. Does anyone have any ideas of a nice relaxing place that would be good for us and our son? Any websites or details would be GREATLY appreciated. We have been struggling for about 6 months now due to health issues and finances. We really are hoping to get our finances in order by then so we can enjoy our family. Stress has been about to kill us. Hope you are all doing well and I truly appreciate your suggestions!
There are only five states voting in primary elections today--sm
Wisconsin, where I am at, is one of them. check the internet to see if your state is included. this is a *primary* election, meaning we are voting to NOMINATE candidates for senate, congress, govenor, etc. We are not voting these people into office, just nominating them for election.
