Sorry about link - it's in the Greensboro News and Record sm
I asked my tech support person at my job, and he said I'd have to contact Time Warner to see how much I use it. I'm sure they's be happy to provide that info (that was sarcasm).
Help! Have face-to-face interview for at-home hospital job tomorrow and ....SM
I want to ask the most comprehensive questions I can so as to make the best decision possible. I work for a small national right now, pretty happy but would like better benefits, especially more affordable and better insurance. I already know this hospitals pays .09 cpl and .11 if you do more than 1200 lines per day. It's been so long since I've been interviewed in person. I need you guys to help me make a list of questions to ask so that I can just get it all down on paper and make sure I'm not missing anything. I know they use ChartScript and Lanier and that they provide the computer. What else exactly should I ask?
I came across my best friend online, but I have yet to meet her face to face sm
I have known her for several years. We talk a couple of times a day. I have never seen her face to face, but I could not live without her love and support and she feels the same.
I have given my number out several times recently. I have yet to come across a serial killer. They are all MTs. Without exception, they have all been wonderful. In three cases, we are all working on friendship. In one case, I think we will be close in time. We are very similar in many ways and I just think she is wonderful.
I have dated on line and we were together as a couple in person for a year. It was a great experience.
Give notice face to face and (sm)
briefly explain the circumstances. In the same conversation ask if it's ok to use the company as a reference and possibly provide a "To Whom It May Concern" letter of recommendation. Then follow up with a brief letter. A good reference goes a long way, even as an IC!
My son's best friend is in need of a kidney transplant.
He is such a smart, sweet, good kid. He's only 15 years old, but he's trying to help raise some of the money for his transplant by operating an Internet store because his family has had hard times and the insurance company bailed on him. He's not yet on dialysis, so Medicare won't cover it. The high school refused to work with him on his absences because they thought he was making it all up. Never mind the fact that his mother and doctor also called the school to explain. He sleeps a lot because he's so sick and tired. He has been off the charts on all of the state's standardized tests, so you know he could just walk in and pass the GED exam. Anyway, his older brother will be the living donor because there are no compatible cadaver donated organs out there. A person ought to be able to depend on their family when nobody else can help. I have kidney problems myself. I only hope that if it came to it, someone would be there for me.
"mean lady, ice lady, flaming monsters"
watch others feel hurt? from my computer? locked away? huh? you have clearly let your imagination run away with any powers of logic you may have had. sad.
My step-father got a kidney transplant
He was extremely happy to be off the dialysis and looked quite a bit healthier for a span of time (kidneys do things the plastic tubing just can't), but he only lived an extra 3 years and had to take lots of antirejection meds in the meantime, was in and out of the hospital a lot.
I agree with the person who posted below about talking to a physician about the downsides. Find out exactly what quality of life most transplant recipients have and how many extra years most of them receive. This is a big decision. It will change your life and probably in ways you can't fathom yet.
Wish I could give you better answers. It's so hard to watch people we love suffer.
Oh i was, but I'm involved in a real life heart transplant story.
hits me twice as hard.
Have a face-to-face talk with your son!
Tell your son you love him and care for him, but you are just not happy about his soon to be wife/lesbian calling his mother/soon-to-be mother-in-law these nasty things. Tell your son that if he wants any part of his family then he needs to talk to his girlfriend and tell her that she needs to respect his mother or things will sure be hell down the long road. You know how it is when you do not get along with in-laws. Sounds like your son had a lot of communicating to do or you may not respect him anymore.
face to face demeanor is always different...sm
guess they figure if you can't see 'em, they can be themselves.
I know their demeanor is different face to face,
but if they treat the medical record with such little regard, I really wonder what kind of ethics they have regarding the medical care given to their patients.
Naaaaaaasty lady. Bad lady. Pooh.
(pouting)
Yahaha! Wish you'd been in my conference
There was a conference call
when the new DOE came on board in which she said," I will not let this company fail!" And for the next many months I kept wondering how the complete change in corporate culture which ran me (and I believe many others) off would further that promise. Now I hear they are very heavily into offshore, which is exactly what happened to the last outfit this woman helped manage. I gave her time to prove herself to me and what she demonstrated was not anything I wanted to be associated with.

if you really want to know, I suggest you attend an EMR conference..
I did. I was considering selling EMR's for my next career. Omigosh, if MT's would get their fat rear ends out of their chairs and into the real world and see what these babies can do, you would really hear people sweating it. Every year, the docs that come out of medical school are more and more savvy with computers. I've seen lots of young docs who can type as fast as I can... so be educated and make educated decisions about your future...don't guess!
Is this for a conference, round-table discussion, or what? nm

Anyone here use one of those little earphone thingies, Bluetooth (?), for phone? For conference
:p
I asked an obesity MD speaking at a conference, and she said save your money.

Should company pay for time spent on a required conference call? (sm)
My company has been having conference calls on one of my accounts in which they request that you attend (they take roll call) to learn new rules, changed rules, updates, etc. on the account. This has turned into a real pain because it takes so much time out of your production that day. They say it will become more "routine" as time goes by because of the volume of the rules, etc.
I was wondering, do any others have had that situation and, if so, have you been compensated for that time?
I should note, I am an employee, not an IC, and am paid by the line.
Thanks! 
Really really stinks to fire someone in a conference call for gosh sakes. nm

just checked i-mail. no news. how did you get your news?
love,
frank
News flash..Don't know where you get your news, but the economy is doing very well.
s
My theory is no news is good news. (sm)
If there is really a problem with your transcription, then I would not worry about it. They will get to you if you screw up.
As far as policies and procedures, look in your manual. I am sure they gave you info for all of that stuff. JMO.
I have good news and bad news 4U...
The good news is on Saturday, July 1 many of your least favorite residents will be "graduating." The bad news is that on the same day you'll be getting a virtual box of candy with brand new residents who have no clue how to dictate! RU excited?? ARGHHHH!!!! 
I simply chose the wrong link. See inside for the correct link.

Egg on Face...
I do apologize - I guess I was in my "MT Mode" and not my "Human Being Mode" when I posted that - all I could think about was OSi, the MT company. Sorry about that and hope things work out!
we have to face that MT is not the
same as it used to be. Five years ago or so you would have been able to get what you stated but now it is nearly impossible unless you obtain your own account. I have been doing this for 16 years and I have seen that the MT pay keeps on declining. I am looking into another profession. It has just become too stressful to try to make a decent living on the pay any more and just tired of the whole thing with offshoring, etc. Take care
The face
My word, if I had a face like that I would sell eye liner or something. Maybe they mean some people type with their looks? Hmm. I really think it is an unprofessional ad.
Let's face it
Things are going to change. We don't know to what degree, but I'm pretty sure jobs will be cut and consensed, so you can bet many of us will feel it in some way.
I think our whole society is going to go through a major restructure; there's just no way around it.
Obviously not for his face, but maybe his hands?

Jen, seriously, the face of MT is changing. sm
Get that degree. Trust me on this. Yes, it's nice sitting home in jammies with the kids. I did it a lot of years, but I made way more money then than now. Things are changing drastically and fast in this field. Get the degree.
We might as well face it, we are being taken over by other countries, thanks to our
government. You have got to read this article at
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080604/ap_on_re_us/domestic_workers_rights;_ylt=AuYJ4gKnmseAW_rqGopWh.FH2ocA
Domestic workers sue, lobby, organize for workplace rights -THESE ARE ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS PEOPLE!
I just want to crawl in a hole and DIE! I am so worried for my children. Soon, the US of A will be owned, run and operated by other countries totally!
UNBELIEVABLE!
I did the face lift and did for myself only
I had huge bags under my eyes and my jouls were drooping. I did it once and then about 10 years later and both times thrilled with the outcome. I have yet to have anyone say they hate it, oh no in fact most of the girls I graduated with totally taken with how, what, when and the price. I also had other things done as in tummy tuck and that again was what I wanted. I please myself and my husband is also pleased with his new lady. I am thinking this year possibly finding out more about the thread lift. I do want to enhance some but not a total face lift this year. I say goody for anyone who wants to improve on their looks or how they feel about their own self.
I’m a sucker for a furry face. I currently
have 2 Maltese, 2 Pugs, 1 Lhasa, 1 Yorkie/Chinese Crested mix (we think), 1 Rott/Pit mix and getting another Maltese from the animal shelter this week.
I am sorry you have this situation to face. It makes
me so upset that this can happen with vets and their costs. I won't even go into that tirade of mine....I actually had to put down my best friend as I did NOT have the $$ even remotely for this barrage of testing just to even guess why she was seizing at 15 years old. I know, she was old, but the vet estimated something near $5K to $10K for a "complete work up". At her age, I declined. Its so weird the timing of your post. Just yesterday my sweet husband was able to give me a modest diamond ring and wedding band - we've been together for 30+ years; however, I had to sell my original set off to pay for emergencies about 3 years ago.I acted like it didn't bother me, but it did. You know - I put on a brave face for the kids and him. And he did, too. It wasn't the diamond or the $$ - it just had so much sentimental value and was symbolic. At any rate, we shopped around for 2 days, as we had no time, and after going to 3 or 4 jewelers and being insulted - most offered $100 to $200 to - take it off our hands - the 5th small jeweler was honest and kind and fair and gave us, I think, $2,000 for the set. It saved us from disaster, so do try a few more jewelers. Keep the faith. And the point of my story? Tides changed for us, and now 3 years down the road, my husband surprised me with a new set - again, not expensive, but its worth a million $$ to me. I think you are a wonderful person to do this for your dear dog. Lots of folks wouldn't even consider it. You will be blessed for it, for sure. Hope your pooch gets well, and hope you get top $$ for your ring.
No, but I have a few on my face - wondering what to do about them - any ideas? nm

She's not mental, it's just that she's right about many things people can't face up to...
Most of what she says is true. It's been far more documented as fact and the truth than the information the administration has given and still gives.
As far as soldiers.....read optruth.org. There are many soldiers who do not agree with this war or how this administration has handled it and they need to be listened to.
Re: Happy face post...I couldn't have said it better myself....sm
I've been an MT for over 25 years, the past 6 as an IC. I work completely independently. I have no communication with my accounts other than to submit my lines or receive an occasional email regarding changes or additions to account specific instructions. You can blast me for this, but with the exception of those who are new in the field, a good MT should be confident enough with her knowledge and skills to not want or need anyone's pat on the back. If you can't do a good job without a baby sitter, perhaps you should consider another line of work.
my butt will probably just get bigger, but I choose face
Look at Madonna, bod is solid as a rock but that FACE ---eek
Too bad he ruined his face with plastic surgery
I got a face full of acne from their products....
along time ago. I can no longer use Marykay facial products. I also get cold sores from "all" lipsticks. I only know of one other person like this and she is a cousin of mine.
OT: Changing face of veterinary medicine (sm)
Is it only me or has veterinary medicine changed quite a bit over the years to resemble care of humans? I have cats and absolutely love them but I'm becoming torn between necessary care, preventive care, and just down-right UN-necessary care. I remember back when animals went to the vet for shots and only when they got sick. If they were sick, diagnosis and prognosis dictated the next level of care. And in most cases back then there were no options other than to let nature take its course if something serious/chronic was found.
I'm now noticing that every time I take one of the cats to the vet's, the doc wants to do "baseline" blood work at least once a year and now wants to see my ten-year-old cat on a twice-yearly basis. My kitty is healthy as a horse and has had no health problems for ten years. Why all of a sudden does he need expensive BASELINE lab work and xrays as well as needing to be seen twice a year and have his teeth cleaned twice a year (not cheap)? It sounds like I'm complaining about the money end versus taking care of my kitty, and I suppose in a sense I am, because this adds up to a whole lot over the course of time. The doc mentioned the reasons for the lab work (diabetes, thyroid problems, anemia, cancer, etc.) I'm torn between having the work done and what I would do if anything chronic showed up on the tests. I love my kitty but don't know if spending lots of money on chronic meds/therapy would be an option when I would have to weigh other expenses against them.
To your answer, no face lift but he dictated like
he did the face lift, 8 months later. The operative notes are supposed to be done in a timely manner. I always thought probably he was just trying to think should he dictate the part he really did or include the ones he didn’t and he went for falcifying my records. These are my legal, permanent medical records.
and all that is in your post to back that up is a red face for reasoning?
??
I have heard of face lift! Is that the same thing?
I would never anybody let mess around with my face. No matter how good
the doctor is, sooner or later you can see the 'plastic.'
And then you look worse than before and have to have a 'followup.'
Never, never......and I really mean 'never', except I am in a terrible accident, disgfiguring my face.
