don't know about the patch. I do know there are various dosages of the pills, but all of this needs to be discussed with your doctor. Sounds like you need a new one.

What do you do if you cannot find a doctor on the list?
Thank you! I just hope to find another doctor that WILL CARE! Maybe the next one will be
much better. I just had some BAD luck.
I have yet to actually even find a doctor that cares about people! All they are interested in is mon
My memory doctor couldnt find the DOS, and said, Isnt this

Have you tried the AMA Doctor Find site? Link inside.

Why don't you discuss this...
With her doctor and tell him that you know you are not a doctor but you read that menstrual blood among other things can effect the test results. Tell him she was on her period at the time so is it possible to test this again after she has stopped her period? Get his opinion on this.
If it ever comes up, discuss it then
with your supervisor, but until then, I would not worry about bringing it up. If it ever happens, just ask her should you do it or return it to the pool and let her make the call.
I did type a doctor's visit for a close friend's dad one time. My friend nor his father ever knew that I did it, and it's been so long I couldn't tell you what was in it if I wanted to. I do believe if it was family or very close friends, though, I'd let the boss know and do whatever she/he decided.
I'd tell me to discuss it with his boss
You gotta be r-e-a-l careful when you're talk state laws. The boss might consider him "problematic." I mean, how much money are we talking about in terms of travel from the boss to the client? If he's getting, say, $10/hour and it's a 15-minute drive ... For $2.50, I would just let it slide.
I'm an IC and work exclusively for one company, which makes me a statutory employee by IRS law. However, I'm making a high line rate, so I'm more than willing to leave things as they are and pay 100% of my social security tax.
This is one of those "silence is golden" situations.
Please discuss what you have firsthand
I have 14 years experience working for a prison system that included a work release center. Penal systems have to abide by certain guidelines set by the federal government when placing work release inmates in jobs. Inmates are forbidden from handling any type of mail. They are also forbidden from any job that involves access to credit card information or peoples social security numbers and other info.
If you have first hand knowledge of an entity or facility that has inmates working in a capacity where they have access to this information, please list the name and I will report it to the proper entity.
Please do not make statement about it being 'common knowledge that inmates process catalog orders' if you don't know what you are talking about. Which catalog has inmates processing orders? Please tell us. Some of you people are so messy and quick to spread false gossip. As adults, you should try to be more responsible about what you say.
I would discuss it with the head of QA....nm

The mature thing to do would be to discuss your
feelings with your trainer. If not satisfied, go to the transcription supervisor, and then to the overall manager.
First, sit back and take a deep breath. Put it all aside for a few hours and watch TV, take a bubble bath, do whatever, but get it off your mind. Then make up your mind that you can do it, but you first must take time to organize everything in your mind. If you really believe it is still the company's fault, then it is time for a new job.
A board to discuss how MT skills can
be transitioned into another line of work couldn't hurt. No matter how secure any job or profession appears to be, the situation can change at any time. That is the reality of the workplace with mergers, technology, etc.
One of the the worst career management errors is to become complacent. I can look back on seventeen years in this profession. It has changed, and not to our advantage. I can't predict the future, but it would be naive not to at least consider other options.
fortunately for the rest of us who dO want to discuss this,
Discuss this with OM and explain PA made

The main board is used to discuss many different topics. sm
There are many posts on this board that if you were to be really technical about it, should be put on the company board, word board, productivity board, religion board, etc., but they're allowed to stay here and be discussed. If you don't like this topic, then feel free to skip it. But it really isn't a political discussion per se, so it shouldn't have to be taken somewhere else.
Please use Offshore board to discuss those topics. (NM)

I agree, she should discuss it with her attorney but personally,
I would wait until the final papers are signed before I bought another house.
I neve discuss politics or religion

Her points are valid, true, and very appropriate to discuss here.
The only thing I would add to that is that in addition to discussing this age-old medical "dirty secret" here, it should also be discussed with anyone and everyone, until the issue can be brought to the forefront in the medical industry. A lot of terrible medical mistakes are being averted because of skilled MTs catching them.
We are an important line of defense in the medicolegal risks every doctor & medical institution faces every day. Yet because very few people know this profession even exists, we're continually being kept in the medical industry's darkest closet, and many of them get their hides saved from financial ruin every day -- literally at our expense.
Not OP and don't care to discuss details BUT OSI hired for a specific
specialty that most MTs love and then overstaffed the account. When MTs ran out of work on that speciality account, OSI offered to switch them to another speciality on a more difficult account. To go to work with OSI required much time testing, negotiating, training and specific equipment purchased so you have already made a time and financial investment only to discover that the specialty you were promised doesn't have enough work so to survive you either take the back-up account which is not as financially rewarding as the one you were promised or you lose the money and time you have put into going to work with OSI. I also quit my other job so I could work full time for OSI based on promises made that were never intended to be kept.
. (This is me after discovering what OSI was all about and not at all as promised)
so true - letter says call will be to discuss rewards BUT
anything!
Quit wasting my time with this MQ.
Either say what's on your feeble mind or quit calling.
Sorry, but your OP made no mention of the fact that you did not discuss your situation with this guy
:o
Can you call and discuss the situation? They may be understanding and helpful. nm
:+
Really tacky on her part - I never discuss salary with anyone but hubby!
She obviously has issues with feeling inferior somehow! What kind of person says, "I make XYZ amount of money" when no one even asks?

You know the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn't think he's a doctor. nm

I didn't find an 800 number, but I did find this number...
1 650-253-0000
Maybe the doctor
usually sees people with superpowers.
What about the ED ones that say to see your doctor if you have, sm
an erection for over 4 hours. Now I quickly switch the channel if my child or my parents are in the room when those commercials come on.
doctor
I only have 1 doctor and 2 nurse practitioners who speak english - so I don't have to learn any foreign accents.
It isn't the doctor. They have to pay big $$ for
malpractice insurance, which is the main reason the visits are so high. They also have huge college loans to pay off.
Please, please go to the doctor
nm
I actually had a doctor who
farted and then let out a huge sigh... Talk about gross.
Definitely tell your doctor...
Not to scare you, but just to be on the safe side. I am praying for you too!
This doctor
likes to go DUBADUBADUBADUBADUBADUBADO while he is thinking of what to say next. It was funny at first, but 5 minutes in it is becoming very annoying!
Did you ever think to ask your doctor or
dumbo
I think you need to get a doctor.
:P
Thanks....I know I need a doctor, which I am
in the process of doing. I've just moved.
I am wondering if anyone has any ideas what this might be caused from and if there are things I should look for today. Can I wait and see if anything changes? Etc....
doctor know why
nm
I also had a doctor who did not know
his numbers. I always straightened them out for him, always until the day he said I WANT THESE REPORTS EXACTLY AS I DO THEM. Ok, then… he had 1, 4, 2, 10, 3, 9, 6 and the like. Talk about a snot. He asked for it and that is what he got.
Hee hee- we had a doctor
whose middle initial was P and somebody didn't catch that their Expander had kicked in so his name on the signature line came out John Potassium Smith. Even funnier, he sent it back signed John Potassium Smith. Thank goodness he had a sense of humor!
If you don't need to go to the doctor
for the pre-existing conditions I would just get the meds, though is you are going to get Cobra that should cover you until you get insurance. Cobra is expensive though so you need to look at the financial burden it may place on the family.
Can you work second job part-time until you are eligible for benefits and then go full-time and drop the other job. Seventy more days is a long time to work 2 FT jobs, plus with the chaos of the holidays on top of that is just too much.
Have you looked into getting a private policy? I think they have to take you even with a pre-existing condition as long as you have been continuously insured. That way you wouldn't be tied to a job for insurance reasons.
A really thorough doctor
One of the doctors that I work for gives a lot of details about his patient but this one really seemed a bit much.
The patient is seeing him due to snoring.
The patient states that she snores very loudly. Her husband complains of her snoring. She also has a dog that sleeps in her bedroom and the dog snores as well.
Very important info LOL!
If it's only for one doctor, then you might look..sm
Look for the Philips 9850. They sell it on Novuscript.com and transcriptiongear.com for under $1000. It only has capability for one phone line, so only one doc can call into it at a time. Personally, I can tell you that the digital handheld recorders will allow you to achieve the same results with much less hassle, as you have to set up user accounts, etc., on the call-in unit. Any technical glitches with the call-in unit, you'll be handling so you will need to be well versed in the unit and its parameters or sit on hold with Philips for tech support. However, it's an option for you if you only have one doc and you're more comfortable with call-in dictation. Digital handheld recorders are cheaper, too, so you might really want to look into those, as mentioned by other posters but I've been using the Philips 9850 for a few years now and it works fine as long as you only have one doctor dictating to it at a time.
Please see a doctor.
I have had all these symptoms and more. Medication for this has really helped me. Please see a doctor to get evaluated.
I had a doctor tell me the
He was totally amazed. I don't see the difference in my speed of typing than a physician that sees 25-30 patients in one day...  It all amazes how healthcare has evolved. In a hospital, it was definitely quality and serve the physician. With these online MTSOs, it's cents per line and produce, produce, produce, barely learning the account. Oh, and make it quick!
