For hours in front of the computer daily, I am very comfortable with lenses (glasses) prescribed for computer use only.  Don't have to worry about looking through the top or bottom of the lenses, not to mention no eye irritation.

I wear the Bausch and Lomb Soflens and do not have a problem using them with a laptop either -- there are many brands out there and  there are also monovision lenses, where one lens is used for disance and one for close up. 

When I was fitted recently, my eye doctor tried me with a couple of different brands and felt the Bausch and Lomb was the best lens for me, so really, it all depends on your particular prescription etc.

Hope this helps

I have almost given up on bifocal contact lenses, and only wear them in the evenings if I'm going to a  restaurant so I can properly focus on the people sitting across from me.   I find them extremely difficult to put in because they are so thin and fold over themselves, and I don't like the distance vision I lose.  I find it just easier now to wear my regular contact lenses and use a pair of reading glasses over the top of them.  However, to be frank, on most days I just wear my glasses (progressive lenses) when I'm transcribing.

Many, many dance studios offer adult classes in levels from beginner to professional. I've taken tons of them. I will be signing up again as soon as we can afford it! Where are you located?

Hope this helps!

I know that years ago Dictaphone had a hand-controlled pedal which I had used.  You might want to contact the Dictaphone Company and find out if this option is still available. 

As far as I know, you cannot hook a C-phone pedal to your computer.  However, I may be wrong about that; although I would think if it could be done it would be quite complicated. 

Another option you might want to think about is to re-record your dictations to your computer and play them back as .wav files.  This can be done through the sound recorder with a connection that you can buy at Radio Shack for about $20.  I have done this in the past and though the sound quality was not the best, I could still hear and understand the dictations. 

my, but you are a vindictive person aren't you.  Like I said, if you don't mind a background check, go for it. 

If you hire a painter/plumber/handyman and do a background check, you will have to do the work yourself.

I'm out of here.

My son, now 15, had major problems with reflux when he was baby that wasn't "corrected" until he got really sick.  He would vomit what appeared to be every ounce of formula he took in.  The doctors told me to put rice cereal in his formula and then put him on his stomach on a bed pillow so that the formula would stay down.

Yeah, right.  Just ended up washing more blankets and bed pillows.  It wasn't until he was 5 months old that someone finally did something.  Poor guy had pneumonia.  We took him to the ER and he spent 4 days in the hospital.  The diagnosis was pneumonia from aspiration.  He was vomiting so hard that he was sucking the formula down into his lungs.

While at the hospital, he had a barium swallow ultrasound that showed that the opening into his stomach (sorry brain cramp for the med term) did not close after eating.  They put him on Reglan (metoclopramide). I was told that this medication relaxes the spasms in the stomach opening so that it will close properly.  I was told that most children will grow out of it before they are 3 and that some will have it longer or may require surgery.  My son was on this medication until he was 5 or 6.

My son still gets occasional heartburn at 15, but it's very rare. It's usually when he eats something like a whole pepperoni pizza, which is to be expected.

Sorry I took so long, but my advice to you, if you haven't already done so, is to talk to your pediatrician about a gastro consult or ask your pediatrician to order a barium swallow, etc., etc.  The medication your child is on only quiets the symptoms and obviously isn't curing the real problem.

As sick as your child is, there is something wrong with this picture.

Good luck!

I did some searches on what you told me to check --RTKING, JAY VANCE, STOP STOP TRANSCRIPTION and could not find anything except for Vance to set up security, any additional info so I could find these sites.   Also do you  ise one of the Internet based call in systems where you pay by the minute of dictation -- do you p ass that onto the docs?    Just curious how that works. 

Thanks

It is

The patient's last clinical breast examination

I type tplc and the sentence comes into advisory to top line.  I hit [ which should expand it but after only three words, "the patient's last," it fizzles.  Sometimes it throws out mumbo jumbo, sometimes two words, never the full sentence.

THIS IS DRIVING ME CRAZY.  What is it I am doing or not doing!!!!

ahem...thank you

If you aren't making your lines, yes, they are going to determine why and see how they can help you get them where they are supposed to be.  They've got work coming out of their ears.  If it is because of  something out of your control, I'd call your supervisor and/or Karen, and discuss it with them.  If not finding satisfaction there, as a last resort I'd possibly contact either Cindy or Jane and discuss it with them.  Certainly discuss it with your supervisor and/or Karen first.  I've found them to be very understanding in dire situations.
