Hate to disappoint you but the government doesn't care about you.

Where do people get the idea that our government wants to know what is on your computer or who you talk to on the phone. That is soooo stupid. READ, study, investigate it for yourself...not someone elses interpretation.( Patriot Act). It is NOT used for tracking US individuals willy nilly. It is specifically geared toward foreign suspects involving only very specific US contacts/colleagues/persons of interest.
It was started under Clinton and Bush has taken it one step further by daily reports to the cabinet!!!! Nothing more nothing less. Take a trip through our recent history and find the truth yourself instead of becoming part of the media system in spreading untruths and hysterics. It is not new ....only more open.

Hate to disappoint you - quit S in October!

why doesn't the us let the aruban government come in and search for the
murders in the idaho case? how about why not the aruban government decide if the sexual predators that our legal system lets out decide whether they should be left to go out and kill some other child or left in prison. why did it take so long to arrest scott peterson. why didn't we let the aruban government come in and arrest him immediately and question him.
NOW for the undereducated, a team of US people from Texas are in Aruba searching for Natalee and FBI has had advisors on board in Aruba.
Soon it will be the government, Universal Health Care, nm

I agree. MTIA is not a government organization. Credentialing comes from state government and
sometimes at the federal level. This mandatory credentialing is ludicrous and a scheme to make money, in my humble opinion.
I have to agree with the other poster, if not having CMT after my name after 25 years of experience prevents me from being employable, I have a very good lawyer who will take up my cause!!!
The government giveth,and the government taketh away
Lori is correct...the SS does give the recipients a yearly raise. This year the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) was 3.3%. This sounds fine and dandy until you take inconsideration the monthly premium for Medicare was raised by 3.1%.
Not many care about "proper" anymore. I hate typing verbatim, so wrong. nm

It doesn't turn off, but sometimes I just don't care
When I'm not working, I still see the mistakes, but sometimes (not very often) I just don't go back and fix them. Typos do, however, still bother me.
The gov. doesn't care one jot about secure records!

Love psych notes. HATE, HATE, HATE, HATE,
HATE ER notes.

Sorry to disappoint you,
no nerve hit in the least. I am actually in shock that you take that much time in your responses and that they are so disturbing. Nothing near the fat and ugly stuff I post. I just do it to be an idiot. Wow, the stuff I type is like child's play compared to the stuff you type.
Like I said, sorry to disappoint you.
You really need to look at your life and why you think these things up. The things I type are pretty basic, stupid and idiotic. I will totally admit it! Nothing in detail like you type.
I have one who never fails to disappoint me...
She always says, 47-year-old comma obese comma white comma female. That last comma always cracks me up. I agree that they could save themselves a lot of trouble by not worrying about punctuation. That's why I get paid.
Sorry to disappoint you but I've never posted on the newbie board!

I hate those but I hate trauma notes on children even more sm
I used to work for a large hospital that saw a lot of children for various horrible things.
The very last one I did was a 12yo boy who had hung himself while his mother was at work. She thought he was in school. The doctor cried, I cried (as I usually did) and I just couldn't handle that anymore. That was the longest report I swear. Short in lines but the length was almost an hour. The doc didn't pause the machine, she cried, horrible gut wrenching sobs, and I did too, right along with her.
Does anyone know how to go about applying for a government job?

What I expect from my government
When a mandatory evacuation is ordered I expect to be able to get on the hurricane evacuation routes and have enough gas available to get moving. Is this reality........NO.
As far as moving somewhere else, FL has a way of putting a grip on you. Low wages to the point you are stuck literally. I haven't been out of this state in over 7 years due to lack of funds.
Government jobs...
MTs are listed under "medical data technician." Also, the military sometimes uses placement agencies for MT jobs.
Government contracts
Has anyone out there heard or looked into government contracts transcribing for VA hospitals - a friend called me today with this proposition - she said there were two places to look for work - one is called rsp.com and the other is fedbizops.com. She put in a bid for a radiology account with 600,000 lines a month and said that she thought that would take two people. I'm just trying to find out if this is legit or not. I'm not wanting any extra work for myself, but this just sounds too good to be true.
Government disability and doing MT
Does anyone here collect government disability and also work part time doing MT? I have a severe immune disorder and was considering filing for permanent disability. Anyone know if you are allowed to work part time? 
Including, unfortunately, our government. nm

What we CAN do is vote for changes in our government
And then we have to keep a very, very close eye on them and scrutinize every move they make. We have to become more knowledgeable and involved in how our political & judicial systems work.
Thanks for the answer. Our government in

And the more people want from the government -- the more you pay
Someone has to pay for all the government programs and it is us. Just like that $600 we will get, who do you think will be paying for it -- us working people. Those with the tax credits, child credits that pay no taxes just want more. We the people support the government and the more the government gives the more we keep giving the government. I use all my deductions I can give. If I think I am paying too much to government, I find another dedution, my self retirement, my anything other than the government.
I agree with you completely. It is our government that ALLOWS this
to happen though. My point exactly. Spend money overhauling the system. Make people accoutable for their actions. That opens up money for people who really need it. Also, people here that do not pay taxes and are not here legally, give them the boot.

Some government drone is going to have a heyday
going through my computer (not!).
While I certainly don't support Google doing this (if, indeed, they are), it's kinda like the Patriot Act. If people have something to hide, they are going to fight this tooth and nail. If they don't have anything to hide, well, so what? If some poor government drone wants to see the dress measurements of every kid in my dance classes--enjoy! Want a list of what I want to see in Kauai--have at it!
Call me naive, call me stupid, but if surveillance of what I do means that people who ARE doing bad things are caught and kept from negatively influencing your loved ones (not to mention mine), I'm all for it. I would suspect that said drones would be targeting very specific ISPs, if this is all true, rather than wanting to see what the secret ingredient is in your great aunt Sally's family-favorite beef stew recipe.
So, with that said, I am going to continue to enjoy Google's presence on my desktop. 
All you fans of the government must be from one o' them RED states..........
If you have such a productive life, why do you even care about MT, let alone spend time posting on an MT forum?
Those were put in place by the government for people who NEED them
You disgust me. You're part of what's wrong with society today, my dear.
Take a good look in the mirror - Yep, the epitome of what's wrong with many people who do not NEED those programs but scheme and manipulate and wheedle their way into being 'entitled' to them.
Your post seriously sickens me, as does you having a child you obviously cannot afford to raise.
Yes, PLEASE quit the MT field. I don't want my profession associated with system-sucking swindlers.
Government controlled healthcare!!
Another thing, people expect the government
to pick up the pieces for them, and everyone is concerned about this. Do people not care that we are paying for people who should not be here in the first place. I am paying for free school, health care, welfare for the Hispanic family, who are very nice, next door to me. All are illegal. They bought their house with cash. They have 4 cars. Their kid goes to free preschool because he is automatically in because he speaks Spanish. I take my daughter 30 minutes out to a high school because I cannot afford anything else. How is this fair? Why are more people not standing up and saying this is not right. We pay the money, we SHOULD be entitled to help, whether you or anyone else thinks they deserve it or not, whether that girl had a baby out of wedlock. It is not as big an issue as the billions of people we are supporting that are not putting a dime back into the system. What is people's problem? I am all for people who come here legally, go to work and contribute back to society. At least the ones having babies out of wedlock are at some point paying taxes and/or their family is.
Government retirement program has changed.
It is now the same as Medicare, with a 401K added.
Civil Service/Government MT Jobs?
Hi all, I am wondering if any of us work as an MT for any government agencies, V.A. hospitals, military bases, etc. And if so, how is the pay rate. Is the hiring process difficulty. THANKS!
I am going broke, looking for a more lucrative 2008.
Kinship care versus foster care/adoption
Having been placed in a position where I now have custody of my 3 YO granddaughter and going through the legal system, I sought an online network of relative caregivers for children. I would encourage you, especially since you are in Georgia, that if you take any children into foster care with the idea of adopting them, there is federal law that requires the state to take certain actions in a specific time frame. When a child is removed from it's bio parent(s), the state is required to investigate any possible relatives who can take the child before foster care is considered, but even before that, reunification with the parents is the priority. Once a child enters the system and is in the system for 15 out of any 22 months, the state is required to find permanent placement for the child.
The problem with this is that there are case workers who may favor a foster family and do not seek out relative care. I have a good friend in Georgia who had to fight all the way to the state level to get custody of her grandson after the child was placed from the hospital into a foster care home with the promise that the foster parents would be allowed to adopt. She has now adopted her grandson, but it was a long, hard battle to get the state to admit their own interests were placed above those of the child and/or family.
If you get a child placed through the state, please make certain there is not a relative who wants that child before you get your hopes up. The courts are now favoring return of children to relatives even after a child has spent years with a foster family who hoped to adopt them.
States get bonus federal funds by complying with the time lines and being able to close the case, so some states place children in foster care because it is easier than trying to locate relatives.
Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but I can't imagine my sweet bella going to someone outside her family.
Am I willing to accept the US government outsources my tax return? Are you nutz?
What the bleep do you expect US citizens to do? Overthrow the government? It's the friggin LAW the politicians made.

Lost job due to offshore? Government program assistance
found this information in my husband's COBRA package. He is in the machining industry which has lost a lot of work to China. This program will help support during retraining and give a tax credit for health insurance premiums. Worth checking out. Don't be put off by how "complicated" the form is. Just do it one step at a time and call some of the numbers for help if need be.
Running a government women's health program has nothing to do with
The ability to make assessments WITH verbal input (women DO have the ability to communicate) is VERY necessary.
Maybe the former head of FEMA was a vet too. That would explain a lot.
You're supposed to go back to school because of this government???
Maybe you should go back to school because you have higher expectations for yourself instead of blaming the government for the result of your own life choices.
Try assuming some responsibility and try making your life better on your own without blaming someone else.
Such a defeated attitude! Is that the government's fault too?
The government isn't Santa Claus. No one is responsible for our success but ourselves.
Grow up.
It's called redistribution of wealth, government produces nothing, sm
it takes from producers and redistributes it, 65% of the federal budget is for entitlement programs.
Puhleez, what exactly is the government doing about illegals crossing the border?
Absolutely nothing. NOTHING! The government sanctions sending American jobs oversees, puting thousands of American workers on unemployment! So why should I or anyone else feel guilty about trying to get what we rightfully deserve?
As far as testing on the phone goes, doxie, you can be listening on an extension and write the answers down for your husband. Don't feel guilty. You're going to pay your taxes.
Or in the case of our government, a million wrongs don't make it right, but ...
doesn't stop Uncle Sam from wronging us on a daily basis. Look, the bottom line is I will do what I have to do to feed, clothe, and house my kids. I don't feel guilty about finding shortcuts around the enormous mountains the government puts in my way nor should Doxie. She's trying to take care of her grandkids so her kids can go to the middle east and serve their country and us all. A woman's gotta do what a woman's gotta do.
You can call me a thief. My conscience is clear. My kids are healthy, well-fed, and have a home. I give to charity, tithe to my church, and volunteer at the food pantry in my town. I give back when I can -- not to the government, but to my community!
I am not the only person in American who stives to pay as little taxes to the government as I can. The government cheats us all. Do two wrongs make a right? I'm not trying to make a right, I'm just trying to survive.
Why are YOU attacking HER? Just because she doesn't want kids, doesn't mean she needs a psychi

I would not be holding press conferences criticizing the government I want to help me find my
daughter nor offending the citizens of the country I wanted to support me. She has clearly lost her mind and needs a spokesperson and she should vent to her husband not the world, although her vents and concerns are unfounded according to their attorney and the prosecuters. They did not have EVIDENCE to keep these brothers. No EVIDENCE. What part of this doesn't Mrs. Twitty get.
EMR is part of a big government push for decreasing errors in healthcare..sm
the newer generation of doctors is very comfortable with point and click. They do their banking by internet, etc. As the older docs retire, there will be less and less actual dictation. Some fields don't transfer readily to EMR, for example, the ER doesn't like it because you "can't tell the story" with a point and click. Another big advantage of the EMR is you can search the data. When Celebrex and other Cox-2 inihibitors were pulled off the market, all the EMR docs had to do was search the records for a match and they could then call all patients on these drugs to get them in and explain what was going on. They also will check for drug reactions within prescriptions, etc. That's why the government is pushing for EMR. Not to mention it will help build that insurance data base...I'm sure their lobbyists are pushing hard for that too.
If government is involved, it will be as screwed up as the Medicare medication program.
Heaven save us from all these wanna be kings that sit on top of the hill.
AMEN! Also the government wouldn't make money on busts too! nm

If it was a clinic, it might have been urgent care, but it was NOT acute care. sm
Acute care refers to work in an acute care setting, a hospital, doing at least History and Physicals, Discharge Summaries, Consultations, Surgery notes, Emergency Department notes, and much more, including GI procedures, Cardiology procedures, Neurological procedures, Pulmonary Function Studies. It goes on and on and it means and acute care hospital setting, not a clinic.
I don't hate AAMT at all, ks. I don't hate
their book. In fact, I love the BOS2. It is not a regular grammar book at all - there are hundreds of issues in it that are point specific to MTing and medical field. I have dozens of regular grammar books, too, for other purposes, and they are not similar at all. I purchased the BOS2 when out job interviewing for a few months. Every single employer wanted me to have my own company, and they all tested off of it. Several used it in their daily work, and I have found it priceless over all. I think its even on sale now, but $89 is not a lot for a professional tool that we should use if required, or if a newbie. MTs who don't like to buy books are not very wise in the big picture. Its like shooting yourself in the foot.
