Myrtle Beach and the surrounding areas have to be the most wonderful areas to live ever...unfortunately two years ago I had to leave the area due to my hubby's company transferring us. When you get to go to Myrtle savor every minute of my "home" for me. Its wonderful...take in the fresh salt air and know you are in a little part of heaven.

Myrtle Beach.
We stayed at the Royal Garden Resort through Dunes Realty (Dunes.com) and had a great time. It cost us about $800 for the week. It was right on the beach and was within driving distance of anything fun.
Hopes this help.
Myrtle Beach! Nothing to be ashamed of! I would rather go there!!!nm

North Myrtle Beach
Having lived at Pawley's Island - this is some really pretty country. Get out of the car at the Myrtle Beach Sign in the middle of the highway for some photo ops. Also, for those of you traveling to North Myrtle Beach - please make a short trip (30 minutes with no traffic) down to Pawley's Island and see the Brookgreen Gardens and Hunnington Beach. There are also a lot of "real" little shops at Pawley's Island with real treasures to find - not cheap souvenier stuff. You can watch the weavers make the Original Pawley's Island Hammacks. I know that you are all probably going for either the beach or the golf, but beware that the sewage drains into the ocean up on the Grand Strand and there is usually a daily feces report - so if it is high - don't go into the water. I hope that ya'll have a great time. If you get the chance - try some Shrimp and Grits, frogmore stew and some of the other low country delicacies. You will have a blast. Remember hurricane insurance, too - in case one is headed that way and you don't want to lose your money on your flight and accommodations. 
Myrtle Beach is a GREAT place for a vacation
Anyone ever stay at Monterey Bay Suites in North Myrtle Beach?
I was checking out there brochure and it said completely renovated for 2006 and their prices are great...Plus you get free breakfast buffet and nightly dessert...sounds great and the pictures look great...but almost too good to be true for that price....Anyone stayed there? If so, how was it?
Resident....
I have worked in/around hospitals for over 40 years and your situation is different. Most places consider any MS of any year a student - that is why they are called Medical Student. They are in school, have not received a degree. Most go for 4 years. In the 3rd year, they start doing internships to get them ready for Residency, but they are still called MS3 and MS4.
After they get their MD, then most go on to Residencies and then they are called doctor.
I had a resident the other day who kept saying
P-tosis. He didn't sound much older than my 20 YO DS.
I agree with the cadiac docs though. I think they are some of the worst.
Student vs Resident
I think you guys are confusing a 4th year medical student with a 4th year resident - only the resident is a doctor.
Okay, so I've got this resident
on the line dictating and I'm actually thinking to myself - wow if he's this bad now, what's he going to be like when he's the doc and has no one telling him how to do it.
He's trying to dictate in that choppy style  (cutting out the words that help to make things understandable). I'm guessing he thinks it's saving someone money.
He wouldn't be half-bad to understand, if he would just open his mouth a little bit wider when he speaks. It's like he's purposely trying to see if he can "throw his voice". Maybe he secretly wants to be a ventriloquist.
Seriously, I think the part of the resident's rotation should be in the transcription department. If they spent even 1 day doing nothing but transcribing, maybe they'd try to be a little bit clearer when they're dictating.
Okay - done complaining - back to work! 
I have a resident this morning
who is literally spelling everything under the sun. All medications, the word "supple", etc. He is driving me absolutely mad.
Resident dictates at end of report...
"Note to transcriptionist...thank you for your time, thank you for your service, and have a great day."
WOW, that doesn't happen often, and when it does, it sure feels nice to know we are considered colleagues and not just a typewriter on the other end of the telephone line!
I have a resident who keeps saying, "Acephalic, normotraumatic" and ... sm
...lemme tell ya, after hearing that a couple of dozen times it is SO tempting to just give it to her (perhaps in quotes, but give it just the same), but so far I have resisted temptation.
Resident of Louisiana and all of the United States
PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!
As a resident of Louisiana, I ask that you all pray not only for those poor souls in New Orleans but for the whole state and surrounding areas. The aftermath effect is going to be widespread. PRAY! We are already experiencing food supply shortages. Woman fighting over a loaf of bread in a Wal-Mart. PRAY! Our kids may not be able to start school because there is no diesel or gas for the buses. PRAY! For this I urge all you have enormous SUVs just to ride around in to get rid of them. The worst is yet to come. PRAY! There are reports of the centers having out breaks of riots not only in New Orleans but in the other areas housing the displaced people. PRAY! Also, help any way you can. If you can not afford monetary donations, please give your time at one of the shelters.
All our lives have and/or will change from this tragedy no matter where you live.
I agree. Can't believe that no one else isn't looking up addresses, resident's names, new m

You honestly think an MT has an education equivalent to a RESIDENT?!?
Oh PUULLEEEEZZZ.
Get over yourself!
LOL!
Had a resident who practically giggled through his entire dictation....
because his psych patient kept asking him if he wanted to see her underwear (she was in her 70s). I didn't find the woman's comment so funny, but this doc had the weirdest laugh...it was like Ernie from Bert & Ernie on Sesame Street. Weird.
"Listen" to the resident authority editor? That really says a lot about the pompous attitude
Can it.
No - fourth year resident, still in medical school - no MD degree yet. nm
