I've been in psychotherapy a couple of times for some very traumatic issues that have caused other issues, but the therapy is even more traumatic than the events I'm trying to recover from - does that make sense?  From what I understand of cognitive therapy you don't rehash the past, but learn to go forward from today and that is what I'm looking for.    The thing that concerns me most is that I've heard it is long-term, not just a few sessions or maybe it depends on the issues.    My insurance won't cover much and the closest therapist is an hour away, so the price of gas is an issue too, but if it will help I'm willing to try it for a while. 

Just curious to know if anyone else has tried it and their opinion of it. 

Check out this site for natural hormone replacement.  www.womensinternational.com (There isn't anything international about this pharmacy - in Arizona).  Anyway, you can learn about natural hormones here, get referrals and books and just some really good information. 

p.s.  I get my hormones through a naturopathic doc (ND), but some holistic docs (MD) give them out too.    

and ended up worse off than I was to start with, especially since my therapist told me that he didn't believe I had been sexually abused and that I was just seeking attention.  What a slap in the face that was.

I'm just in a rut.  This happens about every couple of years when life just seems to gang up on me.  

Hello! I'm looking for any of you that are experienced as Physical Therapy transcriptionists. Can anyone give me a head's up about transcribing in this specialty? I've done psychiatric for the past five years and am pretty sure I'll get this position I've applied for at a local clinic. Any support, resources, etc. would be fantastic!

Thanks in advance to all,

Terry

I've been working in the office lately and the wellness department and employee health offer massages to employees and you can use payroll deduction to pay.  It's something like $10 for a 15 minute chair massage and $30 for a 30 minute table massage.  For the 15 minute massage, I could take a 15 minute break and run up and get a massage! 

Maybe I'll give it a try.  Maybe even worth a drive in once or twice a month for a massage when I'm back working at home!

Have been trying to find a good PT website. I Googled and did not find what I was looking for, which is a site that lists tests, like "cat and camel" and so forth.The sites I have found are not user friendly.

With a medium-weight rubber band around your fingers and thumb, stretch your fingers and thumb out as wide as you can against the rubber band.  Bring fingers back in then stretch them out again, repeat 10 times 2 to 3 times a day. 

If you maintain a daily schedule with this you will definitely feel a difference.  Hope this helps!

I just started a new account which is typed in a form in Word.  It is not very efficient.  Can anyone suggest where I can find a basic format for transcribing physical therapy evaluations. 

Thanks

my former coworker kept telling me how great it was.  She planned on getting rich off of it and retiring by the time she was 35.  She was too busy promoting her "home business" on company time and the company computer to even get her work done at her regular job.  She's still not rich or retired.

Also, there are a lot of negatives out there regarding Ameriplan.  There is one dentist in my entire state that accepts Ameripan cards.  No other medical providers will even consider it.  One good post by someone trying to sell Ameriplan doesn't negate lawsuits, BBB complaints, and thousands of people who weren't given refunds when they requested.  I would never stand behind a company that wasn't ethical and honest with people.

Believe me, I understand what it's like to work hard and still live paycheck to paycheck.  However, "Posting advertisements or solicitations of business" and "spamming" are against MTstars terms of service, which you agree to when using this site.  Selling the discount cards (and/or recruiting people) is what you were trying to do, so be honest here.

Googled scoping and came up with quite a few hits that should be able to give you some info.

becoming a plumber or some other type of construction?  My husband and I are looking at things we could do together.  Don't even know if a woman could do the job and I'm 54 so might be too old to cut the mustard and been doing MT for 9 years so out of shape.

Is 4cpl, 65 character line including spaces and hard returns, very low for a new graduate?  I've been told that this is exceptionally low.  BUT, with companies offering MTs with 5+ years of experience 7-9 cpl I thought it was a fair wage. 

Am I wrong?  Am I working for a MT 'sweatshop'?  The accounts are not difficult, and no ESLs. 

Now after hearing some people tell me I am working for peanuts I am wondering if I need to find a different job.  I like these accounts, but I also want a fair wage.  I was told we'd renagotiate pay when I got off full QA.   Am I being taken advantage of?

considered overnighting tapes?  Find an excellent MT to subcontract and overnight the work back and forth when you need time off (we ALL need time off!!!).  If your clients are willing to wait days for you to do the work that has built up, they may be willing to wait an extra 12 or 24 hours for overnight.  Once you train your sub, you can go on vacation, your client's office staff overnights tapes to your subcontractor, the sub overnights the reports back. 

I know how it is to come back from vacation and have piles of work staring at you.  That is one of the reasons I stopped taking my own clients and now only subcontract from services. 

I nor my friend have even considered a lawsuit.  I just get mad at being pre-DISQUALIFIED no matter how good I am at my work.   I have had to deal with this problem all my life, so it is nothing new. It is just that  I have never been visually disqualified for anything before in regard to work and this was a real eye-opener to me. 

And for the record.  Morbid obesity is a legal handicap and so is being left handed which I am both.  It is just sad.  Oh well... I will continue to work where I am appreciated for my job well done...and so will my friend....:)   They pay me way more anyway. 

are on separate schedules (though I have some flexibility) and we find we have to plan private time.  I'm a night person, he's a morning person - just doesn't work very well.  If you worked Sunday through Thursday schedule you'd have a chance to have some time to sleep on Friday and you could still have a weekend and not be dragging your butt.   If kids are all in school you could sleep during the day and working nights might not be so bad.  There will be a period of adjustment and there will have to be some compromise about when you sleep and when DH takes care of the kids, but you do what you have to do. 

So what exactly do you supervise?  Yourself? 

I think you are being territorial and I think they could hire Claudia Tessier and you'd find something to complain about. 

I was actually training to be an interpreter for the Deaf and when that wasn't turning out to be what I thought it would be... I was looking into other options involving the Deaf community.  Closed captioning was one of those options and at the time (this was about 10 years ago) they were doing live-captioning but it was NOT work at home.  Of course, there may have been companies who did pre-broadcast captioning as well, this was just the part I had heard about/was interested in doing.

I always assumed the typos you see were due to people typing 500 words/minute, not voice recognition.
