Exactly true. And you don't have to fool with new drugs and stuff, either. nm

acting a fool or fool? semantics. are you a bill clinton fan?

it depends on what is is? or acting a fool or being a fool.  because we have fun with MQ.  who died and left you boss or arbitrator of what mqmts should or should not do or who is acting a fool or is a fool?  frank?


Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone!
I don't think I'd fool around with it, I'd see a doc.
If it is your heart and you wait you could die.  If it's not your heart, you'll at least know that.  I don't think the heart is anything to fool around with.  Too many younger people are dying from heart disease. 
not a fool, but
how foolish would a woman feel if she found out later that they were at social gatherings where everyone knew what was going on.

Most MATURE men don't stick to the code. They tell their wives. They want their wives to stay out of it of course, but I think they also realize that in telling their wives that it is KNOWN that the wives will probably blab it to the point that it will become public knowledge (blabbing is the female unwritten code, LOL).

I don't really think the OP should contact this *woman*; however, I think she should ask her husband to tell his friend to inform her to not involve him AND to not give out his number or involve him in friends affairs ever again. If OPs hubby won't do that then there are already existing problems.
You are NO fool...

Don't let that fool ya'...

And, here I sit after my job was outsourced to C-Bay even though my "manager" claimed she did not want to outsource.


You need to consider the fact that your manager probably does not make those decisions, but the higher ups that are above him/her do!  This is the very first signs of outsourcing (new system) to comply with the outsourcing company.


The best way to get a new system set up for outsourcing is by using the staff on hand.  No, I doubt you'll get a raise, but you may get a big surprise once you set that system all up for that outsourced company. 


It happened to me, and I had a manager just like you are stating.  If I were you, I wouldn't make any waves regarding a raise right now.  If you are hourly, then I wouldn't worry too much about the line count and when asked why your line count isn't up to par, then reiterate the fact that you've been instituting a new system.


The hospital I worked at also asked the MTs to help because the managers had no clue.  So sad...


Oh, and they did all of this after hiring a very older lady (partially retired) from a hospital that was outsourced so she had to quit.  That lady lost her job at the hospital I worked at about a month after I left.  I left before the outsource because I refused to help outsource the work I had done for the past 17 years. 



P/S:  Just keep your eyes and ears open very wide!!!!!! 


 


Honey, I am NOT the one being a FOOL
You are on her ranting and raving about something you have absolutely NO control over. I am living my life with a good job and paying my bills without problems. That is not foolish, that is life.
He's a damn fool. That's what I say. nm

You are a fool..so shut up
Why do I work two jobs?  Do you have the need to know?  Because I like to live well and have money in my pocket.  Why dont you work two jobs?  Because you are the lazy one and most likely no other trans company would hire you except MQ, who it is well known will hire newbies and transcriptionists that other companies would not give their 2 cents to.
Call me a fool
but I guess I don't understand what you're saying.  I went to a hearing and just didnt receive any paperwork from my lawyer, had to go get it myself from the courthouse.  I hope that's what you mean. 
Don't fool with Vista yet
My son beta tests these programs and this one is not ready yet.  It conflicts with other programs at present, especially any older programs (pre XP).  Better to wait until it has been out for quite a few months and the bugs are worked out. 
No, but then the fool doesn't have my email ads so how could he?

You mean he has figured out a way to lower my income even more?


Why doesn't he just send me a bill for the opportunity to sign in to type the


junk they have now?  And it is junk.  There's not a decent hospital left.  Have you noticed how many accounts are g-o-n-e? disappeared, vamoosed, gone poof.


I'm sitting here thinking it is way past time to leave this business.  It is too complicated.  It has not become more standardized.  If anything it is more loopy - each place has a different platform, hospital rules they want you to follow for each thing.  Used to you could turn on a typewriter, put paper in the machine, type, put a sticker on it, and you were done.  Now it takes sometimes 3 months to get up to speed - NOT because you don't know medical terminology - you have to learn a specific platform (go buy special parts to use it), figure out new expanders, get special internet thingys, get wave pedals, throw away $$$ super stations and C-phones.  It's a joke.  They want us to cover all that just for the right to make squat for money.


 


Nope, I think it's time to pursue something else. 


 


 


She didn't want to look like a fool on national TV
Trust me as soon as the cameras stopped rolling she was calling him on the sly.  As for all those fake crying pretty boys,  I couldn't stop laughing , does everyone want to be an actor now?  sheesh
He's a jerk and I'm an intermittent fool.

When was the last time you linked to a website link and got the response "too many hits?"  It just looks all too contrived.  I have to admit that I did link there, but won't try it again.  Maybe he's just getting a big kick out of the attention this is bringing, and our resultant frustration.  Now, I will be running my Spyware and deleting any new cookies that are found.


 


When you play Balderdash and can fool everyone with your definitions.

MTs at my hospital tried to say 20 cpl was average. The director is no fool.

Working fool, Thank you for your wonderful post!

God bless you for telling your story as it gives insight into how we all have to be our own advocates. 


My aunt "trusted" the trusted old surgeon who told her not to worry, we'll deal with it IF it becomes an issue.  Well, it did but to late to treat and she died within 3 years. 


That had to be hard to post this, again, thank you! 


hold that thought. also known as fool's paradise. nm

First name Bonita? I got ripped off. Feel like a fool. sm
She said she had been burned before and needed the money upfront. Then she never sent the Lanier. I think was should be able to post identifiers on things like this to protect each other.
Then you are an absolute FOOL. Down the road, you'll wish you were never involved

Tell 'em typing fool, because I tend to agree with you. nm

I think I smell either VR on the easy stuff, or offshoring of the easy stuff.

It's the drugs

drugs.com
I almost always use drugs.com for almost every drug need.  It's the best site I have found, but otherwise, I prefer Stedman's Quick Look, but let's face it, by the time these books are printed, there are another 100 drugs out there.  Can't keep up fast enough with them. So the web site is the best. 
Drugs@FDA
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/

You can search for any 3 consecutive letters and pull up a list of all drug names containing those 3 consecutive letters.
drugs.com
I use this site because you can put in a part of the drug name, and it gives you a list of drugs that contain that letter combination. So if you can only hear the middle part of a drug, it gets a little easier to narrow it down.
try drugs.com (nm)
x
drugs.com
The problem I have with this site is that there are many generic drugs that are listed with a capped first letter. It is hard to tell which drugs are brand name and which are generic when using drugs.com.

If you are typing the drug name in a paragraph and it is generic, the first letter is not to be capitalized so it is important to be able to find out if the drug is brand or generic.
Drugs.com... just for MTs... sm
Drugs.com lets you type in just a few letters and provides choices. Also, from the homepage on the right, there is a link to drug search just for MTs. It lets you do a wildcard search. I.e., audio is garbled and you hear t-max, you could type in t*max, and it would provide all drug choices. It also has a 'sounds like' search which is most excellent. You can also search for drugs by condition. This site hasn't let me down yet. Best part, it's completely up to date, and free.
Drugs!! Works for me!
Seriously. I actually was a big procrastinator, and really suffering for years from lack of motivation. Turns out I have ADD, and have been on meds for a few months now.  Actually tripled - TRIPLED my income in these few months. Everything is just focused and easy and I am so productive, its scary...Maybe you have adult ADD. Supposedly millions do...I used to be a skeptic, but I'm a believer now!
New generic drugs.
New generic name for viagra......................micoxafloppin.  Next.. please add.
Oh, yes! Illegal drugs are fun!
I never even did drugs when I was a stupid teenager.
Anyone know where I can get a list of new drugs

generic drugs
I type drugs that are capped or have capital letters anywhere in them into autocorrect. Then I just type the drug just like it is generic, then autocorrect "corrects" it.
did in the past but does not do drugs...sm
I wish he'd come in here and sue your arse...for that post
She could even be on drugs. Keep distance.
She might think you are where she would like to be and wants to impress you in her little mind and little world.
www.drugs.com.... don't care much for
rxlist.com....never helped me any
Try *sartan*. It will come up with drugs ...
that contain those letters in any part of the word. I don't think you can just do an ending but you can quickly go through the list it does give you.
I agree about the drugs.
My nephew was on the Fiengold program and diet without the drugs and it worked very well until he was around 12 and started to cheat on the diet and sneak the junk food :) It is a LOT of work for the parents and tough on the kid. But it did work for him for many years and it's a very healthy preservative-free/chemical-free diet. I think it's probably worth looking into.

Over the counter drugs

Are over the counter drugs capitalized? Example: "Unisom"


 


Thanks


Canada drugs
I used them. Did not seem to have any problems. I figure you do not hear of Canadians dropping dead left and right from using the medication. Saved some money.
on drugs, esp helpful to me
with my expander, is something a poster previously shared sometime back: to put in meds with the consonants, ie, Lasix is lsx, Protonix is prt. that helps with capitalizing proprietary drugs as well. myself, for dosages, i do mgd, for mg daily, and such.
Generic vs Brand drugs
I have these in my Shorthand program and they are typed correctly - upper or lower case. No matter how I type them they wind up correct. If the word is at the beginning of a sentence, Shorthand capitalizes it there, which would be correct.
Convicted felon wants drugs
How's this....I just wrote a report where I had to look up the patient's name on Google for spelling purposes and found a document from within the year stating that he was appealing (and lost) his conviction on four counts of obtaining illegal prescription narcotics.  At the end of the report, the doctor states that the patient went back to his primary care physician stating that THIS doctor said he could have Dilaudid for two weeks.  My doctor then stated that he did not feel comfortable treating this patient.  Question:  Should I tell my boss or this doctor about the patient's recent record?  (And now he is, again, trying to obtain illegal drugs.)  Or does this violate the privacy rules?  Are illegal activities subject to the privacy rules? I know counselors always warn patients that they have to report any illegal activities should they disclose such.  Now please don't slam me.  It has been a long day and maybe the answer is obvious and I am just brain dead for the day.

I prefer book for drugs.
I use the Quick Look Drug Book and it has worked well for me.

Google is where I start my search for other medical info and it has been remarkably useful - may even discontinue purchasing more books.

But the drug book will not likely be replaced as it also has the generic and dosage information right there, which I have needed on many occasions; it is faster for me to use the book. Just a personal preference.
