George Clooney...something about those eyes! nm

George Clooney and Richard Gier (sp?)

You forgot Ben Casey, George Clooney ... sm
notwithstanding.
But actually, the first DR. KILDARE wasn't TV's Richard Chamberlain. Series was based on series of old movies (no age issue here ... first one came out same year my mom was born, around 1932 or 1933 or so). There, Dr. Kildare was played by Lew Ayres and Dr. Gillespie was played by Lionel Barrymore.
Docs were male, nurses all female and scurring around with, "Yes, doctor... No, doctor ... Right away, doctor."
I have never seen the George Clooney thing. He looks like a Bassett Hound with a

Brad Pitt, George Clooney. Cool guys who don't take themselves too seriously.
I watch them even in their bad movies but has anybody seen Brad Pitt in one of his first movies A River Runs Through produced by Robert Redford. OMG, he is a beautiful man.
George Clooney is cool and not bad to look at. Not full of himself either.
Luka is a poor replacement for my main man George Clooney.
Maybe it's the scripts he is given. He just doesn't have the star quality and charm that George had but who could follow George Clooney? Not Luka. Of course I gave up watching ER awhile ago when it became Bizaarro World with B actors so maybe Luka has changed?
George Clooney, chocolate dipped strawberries, and Dom Perignon champagne.

Chicken wings with Broc and rice casserole
I was going to do the breakfast thing but my son was broc and rice, so breakfast tomorrow. I love breakfast all times of the day
Are you kidding - at least Clooney speaks properly.
Matt comes across as being very dumb when he speaks and is apparently odd to boot - remember the incidents where he got caught doing something naked extremely high on pot??? And now, no deodorant?!? Please, up your expectations, ladies! He seems to be a total loser. Now, George, hmmmm! I'll take that. LOL!
I must be weird, but he makes my skin crawl, right along with G. Clooney.

Which way did he go George,
LOLOLOL
Wow - way to go George!
:-)
George W no better
The Clinton revised judicial oath: “I solemnly swear to tell the truth as I know it, the whole truth as I believe it to be, and nothing but what I think you need to know.
Sounds like Bush policy to me.
George Castanza!! (nm)

george lopez
He is so funny.
George Harrison
Unbelievable talent that man had and he could make a guitar sing!
George Bush
He is an embarrassement to this nation. He makes us all look like floundering idiots and he's the lead idiot.
I bet all the "red state" folks that voted for him are having second thoughts. He could care less. I do believe that he is slow on the response because it was not an area of well to do white people who support him but are poor hardworking mostly minority people. Take a good hard look America; this is what we are stuck with.
Did it occur to anyone that even terrorist groups are laughing at us!!!! UUGGHHH.
I'm ready for the flaming that is sure to come my way but...whatever....I can't stop crying from watching these people trying to survive in conditions that no one should be forced to endure.
George Bush
I'm not slow, just making a comparison to say....Florida last year. Granted the situation is on a much bigger scale but if you think back, most of the people were able to leave the areas hardest hit in Florida, mostly white, with transportation available.
As Katrina was coming up through the Gulf, the people left in New Orleans were the people who had no transportation, who lived in housing projects and/or were unemployed. They had no way to get out. I use the race issue because it is painfully obvious that most of the people waiting at the Superdome, on rooftops and various other locations were mostly black. There is no way to have missed that.
It is also painfully obvious that George Bush has taken a beating over this (and about time too in my opinion) and suddenly trucks, food and water are to be had. I guess he heard enough bull from enough people to finally do something to try and salvage himself politically.

George Bush hates medical transcriptionists.

Hey, I live in IN too. I like having light outside at 8 PM! nm

Hoping they see the light!
I agree with you 100%. I have been in this line of work for over 30 years. (I started off making $3.23 an hour in 1975 (had no experience) and worked with the large belts on a Selectric typewriter. I have always LOVED this profession; however, over the years the stress has increased for me especially in the last three years.
I would like to be able to retire from this job, yet I worry constantly about our profession and my job just going away and what will I do then? I still work in a hospital and the way we are treated even has changed. Pencils only provided, no Kleenex along with the attitude that if we are not typing, we are not working and virtually have problems just getting up to go potty or take a much needed break.
The out-sourcing has really shocked this old gal and I don't really know about the quality of the work returned to comment on it. Does anyone know? I would be curious.
However, I am hoping and praying that one day, our MDs will say "ENOUGH!" Maybe, they will decide that paying for quality work and providing benefits, etc., far outweighs the cost savings benefit of outsourcing to other countries and sadly in companies in the United States also. When I think about the knowledge and dedication we put forth every day to produce quality work, it just really hurts that the hospitals and doctors don't want to pay benefits and pay for the best transcriptionists they can find.
Signed, The Dreamer.
Could you please shed some light?
How do you find that good, fair boss/company? From what I gather through reading posts on various forums and my own experience, it is more likely to experience the bait and switch than being dealt with honestly.
A little light reading
Link to the Bureau of Labor Statistics information on our dwindling profession. According to them, employment prospects are good for MTs, with many opportunities for advancement. I think they must be a little out of the loop on what VR and offshoring are doing to us....

I didn't notice George Lopez head but I think I noticed Dave because he is
skinny and standing next to Carmen E. you can't help but notice how out of proportion it is. He is a bobble head.
Can anyone shed some light on this situation for me?
I've been with this large clinic acct. since March of 2004. Since starting, they've been growing & going through lots of changes in the way they're running things. I am a part-time IC. I've gotten great audit scores and have been told I'm one of their best MTs on the account (when wanting to switch to doing more on a different acct.)
When I first started, all the work was in a pool. Sometime later, I noticed they were pretty much assigning only certain clinics to me, which they confirmed they'd starting doing it that way & it improved production. All the MTs seemed to be pleased with this. I had mostly decent dictators overall.
Not too long ago, I noticed I'd started getting overall worse dictators. When I asked my supervisor about it, via email, she said nothing had changed, I was just getting the luck of the draw. I had my suspicions that some of those in higher positions that could manipulate the work were giving themselves the good jobs, & even voiced something to that effect--slightly. But, I did notice after I'd tentatively voiced my suspicions, I started to get some of my better dictators back.
However, last week I noticed a drastic & complete change. I started getting some of the worse dictators from clinics I usually didn't work on--not some of the good dictators from that clinic, mind you, but the worse ones almost consistently. My suspicions were confirmed a few days ago by a broad email sent to us all that there had been some work-pool changes. In effect, it was saying those of us who weren't doing well by their criteria, i.e, QA utilization, production, audit scores, accountability & quality, were not going to be getting work when it was available, but it would go to the ones who meet all this criteria, and that basically we were going to be getting the junk, to paraphrase. Since work usually doesn't download until later in the morning, they were going to save any morning work for the "good" MTs.
Now, I know that I am meeting all those criteria, and I am so upset by the fact I'm getting all the junk now. From reading this board, I'd thought I'd learned that companies will give full-time employees the better work instead of the ICs, that this somehow is better for the company. Could anyone advise me of this? Could there be another reason for this that mgmt doesn't want to tell us, other than trying to attack our work & say it's our fault?
You know - you're like the light co. or the phone co., or any SM
other billing entity. This is not a paycheck, it's payment for an invoice. Terrible thing that you're not getting your money, but it's not like she skipped "paydays" here.
I feel sorry for you. I just got a check I espected much earlier. Sure makes it hard to do business, doesn't it?
ASTRO-light examination is that right???
amazing dictators, here's a light one 4u
I literally lost it, turned the speaker up for my kids and they were losing it along with the doc. He always refers to vitals, meds etc "as listed on the nurses chart". He seemed a bit distracted tonight, usually a fantastic dictator, the ones we love that we just know exactly what they're going to say next?
So he says..."Vitals as I noted on the nurses chest". He only caught himself after some of those nurses burst out laughing and told him what he had just said....the rest of the report was a mix of med terminology and the comedy club!
Can you exercise with light weights?
If you don't have a problem with a disc or something serious like that, working the upper body with light free weights may be just the ticket. It improves the posture and strengthens the muscles you use to hold up your arms while working.
for 6 yrs and work is very light on 3 accts....nm

is there a super-light touch
keyboard that is also split and (hope upon hope) with a rise in the middle like the MS ones?
light touch keyboard
I have a logitech DiNovo.l It is pretty expensive but it is small, flat and makes hardly any noise. The only draw back is that it comes with a separate number key pad. The key pad is not connected to the keyboard. I love this keyboard with my laptap. It is the same size as my laptop and fits flat in my laptop case so I can take it with me anywhere.
Not to make light of pt privacy, but
I type on a 14 inch laptop screen that I must keep about 2 feet away from my face in order to see it. In the course of seeing my laptop, my less than petite frame obscures probably the middle 50% of the screen. On the screen, there are endless lines of text that would be rather meaningless to the average barrista/customer. The patient demographics are obtained via a link on the toolbar. A 'hotkey' is entered throughout the report where the patient name appears and in the preparing-to-send process, these are all replaced with the patient's name. The hospital I type for is 3000 miles away.
I can see where this might be problematic should someone with better vision than I manage to see around my hulking slumped body and see 25% of the text on the left and 25% of the text on the right and know enough about transcription to be able to fill in those rather large blanks on each line (and that doesn't even take into account that most laptops are made to be viewed head-on; side viewing, viewing from above, etc., distort the picture to make it all but illegible). I suppose this could still be problematic if this eagle-eyed contortionist with an intuitive knowledge of medical terminology and knowledge of random software programs to find that demographic button can psychically detect which hospital of the thousands in the country I am working on and happens to have a relative who lives in that very town ready, willing, and eager to spill the beans about Madame X's bunion. Yes, I can see where this is a danger. I guess I should thank my lucky stars that I have not run into either this fellow or chupicabra at my local coffee house.
There is a product called Green Light
or you might try a systemic insect killer that you just put on top the soil and water it. Just do not use it for any plant that bears fruits or vegetables. They both work well.
