Do you think Dr. buys paper for office or do

• Question - tam
  • Do you think Dr. buys paper for office or do - employees buy it? Of course, the dr. does. nm
    • Dr will probably just have OM get you some - packs of paper from their supply. nm
  • When worked in clinic, Dr. supplies everything - we requested/needed, uniforms,office supplies
    • Even if .... - tam
      • Why not? What difference doe it make if home - or in-house? He is still the employer. nm
        • If you were IC would be different. Keyboard - example below makes no diff. home or office.
    • even our coffee, French Vanilla creamer, - sweetner etc nm
      • Thank so much - tam
        • Let's face it. The worse he can say is a simple - no. Always make requests, can't hurt. nm
  • If boss said I want U to use brand X keyboard, - would you expect him to supply it or U buy it?
  • Yes, but TELL him you need paper. Employer - should provide U with tools to do your job. nm

I want to ask her if she actually 'sees' me when I come to visit, i'm very conservative and wear dark colors, but I thank her nicely and keep the things she buys me hung up collecting dust in my closet.  She just doesnt get it. 

As for the slutty clothes wearing, I think girls dress for other girls, its a competion who can look better/sexier.   I would buy them more appropriate clothing and compliment them how lovely or how becoming they look, its up to them to take it or leave it.  The old saying you can lead a horse to water. 

I was drowning in debt a couple of years ago.  I finally bought a book by Dave Ramsey about getting out of debt and I must say, this man is a genius!  He also does a radio program daily where he takes calls and gives advice.  I now do a budget on paper where EVERY penny is accounted for.  It is amazing how much of a difference this has made in my life.  No, I don't reuse foil or sandwich bags ... LOL!  I have paid off my credit card debt and installment debt.  At this point, I'm working on the mortgage. I highly recommend the plan Dave Ramsey pushes for "financial peace" as he refers to it.

paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.

Like I said below I buy my sticky paper through a place that prints up forms.  You will need to do some calling to see.  It is a little expensive but I provide that in my price.  Just do not buy the boxed stuff from Viking or Office Depot or Office Max as they do not not have the perforations on the sides so that when they peel the note it is smaller than the paper and fits on a piece of paper.   E-mail me if you have any questions.   But if you are in the Seattle area, there are a lot of paper places up there.  If you are doing overflow then the main MT should be able to tell you where to get the paper.  Also they might provide it as some accounts do.  Everyone is different.  But CONGRATS -- the first step is the hardest.  Knew you could do it.  Be sure to ask for lots of examples when you start.  Keep me informed.  Any questions you can e-mail me.   Patti  typing without glasses hope don't have many typos.

I use an 8 1/2 x 11 label size paper that has about 1/8" inch that peels back on each side so that it is smaller than the paper you place it on.  The clinics use it to put the chart notes in the charts.  I get it at a form place that makes it.  Avery makes 8 1/2 x 11 labels but you have to cut down the sides before you peel back the sheet to place it on the paper and it doesn't have great peel backs either.  Call local form places and sometimes they will have perforations 1" or so but I don't like that as you waste a lot when you have to begin another chart note and you have to be sure it is below one of the perforations.   Have been using this for 15 years now.  Did go with some national companies but the shipping got to be too much.  Again, call local paper and form places in your area and see if theymake it.  E-mail me wiht specific questions.

Hi, I have always used plain computer paper for my reports but have a new doctor who prefers me to use the "sticky" paper.  I was wondering if I should charge for the paper, since it is an added cost, and also if anyone knows where to purchase this paper.  Thanks.

I think 15 is good.  When you are away from your desk and delivering, you are essentially not generating income, so.  Plus don't forget the INK, it is costly.  Better include a notation of extra costs for:

Hunt up reports and reprints (that can really be abused)

If they want a faxed copy stat

if they cannot locate a report and you need to research (TIME) and reprint & INK & PAPER and deliver.  No this is not piddly things, it is time, lost income, cost of supplies.  

 Just like if a patient came back and ask for a quicky relook, they forgot something, after they just left, this is reset up of exam room, find the chart, chart notation, staff time, physician time and they want it for the same price.  See what I mean.

If they want a stat report (you are stopping what you are working on to do their STAT report.  Indicate the quicker Turn Around Time charges in writing so they don't forget .....(other than the agreed to time)

either way I look at it, the problem is, there is nothing to rent here. If my #1 lender falls through and I have to go with #2, it may be possible the seller MAY let me rent for a year, maybe even rent to own. If lender #1 fails, I will be asking. All they can say is no. Originally seller purchased home to rent it and changed their mind, it has been for sale for 2 years, sold twice but financing fell through for other parties.

I'm am going to try for 50/50 with the father of the children as I will need him nights, and he will need me days so we don't have to pay daycare. I will be covering insurance for the kids so yes I will need him to pay some extra to me.
