for the back...and disks for eyes.....nm

disks in C-spine, then huge metal fan fell on back of head!
That is when the real pain began. A rhizotomy is where they cut the nerve roots to relieve the pain (anterior) or muscle spasms (posterior). I just had neurectomies, and my head has been worse for the last two months. The neurosurgeon was unable to get left side because my occipital nerve was entangled in the artery, but he got the right. Now I cannot feel the right side of the back of my scalp; however, I am still having a lot of pain! So much for that.
We were taught Disc - eyes, Disk - back

zip drive discs
Hi: I know absolutely nothing about zip drives, but if you go to www.worldstart.com and go to their message board and ask this question, a techie person will answer you, usually very quickly. They have helped me a lot on problems with my computer. Good luck.
Zip disks are noted for going bad, just like the
floppies. You may have to take this one to a computer expert to get data transferred. Then I would suggesting buying an external (or internal) CD writer and using that for storage. Disks are cheaper, hold more, and more reliable than the zip drives. You can get a cd writer for $50-75 and the external ones just plug into a port on computer and also can be used on multiple computers.
It is disks in the spine now
I transcribed for a spinal surgeon who said that the Academy of Orthopaedics has decided that spinal discs should officially be spelt "disks." Apparently they want to make everything consistent. So that is how I spell it unless a doc tells me to spell it othe old way. Which I do although technically it is incorrect.
Lost PRD+ discs, anyone know where I can get them? sm
I have worked with PRD+ for 6 years. Somewhere between moving offices and and clutter I have misplaced my PRD diskette. Tried to save from original computer to transfer to new computer, but will not work since I am going from Windows 98 to XP. Since Sunflower is no longer in business, I need to the disks as I have worked without my PRD for 2 days and it is killing me. I need the original diskette because you can save from 1998 and transfer to XP, even though the program I will be working in is WP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. TIA!
Discs that came with computer. Did you have

Zip drive discs - help with corrupted disc
Anyone know of any tricks to get into a zip drive disk that desn't want to open up? I put the disc into the zip drive and try to open, but it keeps telling me disc not formatted. I have a lot of files in the disc that I need. I may have over filled it. I'm hoping there is a magic way to get into the disc somehow so I can retrieve the files in it.
Doh! My EYES, EYES opened, lol.

Never learned it? Hah! I learned it and still didn't like it.
it will work - have the flash drive in the PC, install from disks to flash

I cannot believe my eyes!
Can you please tell me where I can go to get some of this "coddling"? Do you hear yourself. "Them"????? Ignorant bigots.
I am sure you are...or at least in your own eyes,
you sound like you either think you are better than every one, or you are lying! That may not be how you mean it - but that IS how it comes across, to me anyway!
eyes
When I turned 40 is when my vision started changing. Needing reading glasses only. I now wear bifocals for driving and reading, but I bought a pair of glasses from Wal-Mart that have become my computer glasses. I refuse to wear trifocals as that is basically what it would boil down to.
Good luck with your eye exam.
me too - have always said I don't do eyes...

eyes
Just what are you looking for? Transcription or yourself?
It was not about bad eyes!
Yes I do wear glases. So do a lot of other people in this world! He revealed my field of vision tests results in front of a crowd of other patients. It was normal by the way so I guess my eyes are not that bad. Still this violated privacy laws! And just what do you do for a living? I hope you never type any of my medical reports!
That's the one! Love his eyes 8-) nm

what does that mean rolly eyes?
is it an old time joke before my time?
Bawling my eyes out.
My husband is the BIGGEST JERK on the planet. I have been out of transcription for a few years having children and he has been working nights. We had agreed that I would go back to work after my 3-year-old gets into school (two more years). Recently, however, he decided he is tired of working and quit his job. I took a job and just started last week. He is already complaining that I'm not making enough money. I'm just so frustrated. My family and friends are ready for me to leave me, but I have three kids under 7 and I'm scared to death. I know I could support us, but I fear what the future holds, so it keeps me here. He is verbally and physically abusive to all of us and I know better than this. Please don't yell at me. I'm looking for some support. My family lives very far away. I'm sorry to dump this here, but you are all transcriptionists too and I thought maybe someone had a similar situation and could suggest something for me. Thanks.
He IS easy on the eyes! lol (nm)
Wow..my eyes, lol. In Word (sm)
up under Tools there is Word Count. You can get gross lines, characters, characters extended, etc. Is that what you mean? Not sure about the Dictaphone question.
sorry I don't do eyes but it's ophthalmology...
Can't you get any samples from your doc? Eyes are

Help me out here, I thought eyes were ENT as
in eyes, nose and throat?
Learned something
I never thought that many peole would want a transcript of a show especially when it was availabe of DVD or tape. That is why I did not think it would pay that well. But I learned something and always glad to do so. The last seminar that I type did not involve medical at all but was building a chip for a computer and all oriental speakers and so when I think my docs are bad, I remember that. Lots of blanks needless to say.
Have a good day and thanks for the compliment but all I know is common sense and practical sense through years of doing this.
I learned that way too, but now

has anyone learned that their QA
person is using an outdated BOS ? I can hardly believe anyone taking their position seriously would do this. Am I wrong to be amazed and disappointed?
I know what you mean...you'd think I would have learned
my lesson in season 2. I would love a Taylor/Elliott finale, but I really don't know what to expect. You'd think Taylor has a big enough fan base to put him through, but after last week, I feel like anything can happen.
yes that's how I learned
how else to learn specialties?
What I have learned from VR is
that it does take an experienced and alert MT to recognize when a mistake has been made by VR. If the MT is editing too quickly or too careless when a mistake has been made by VR, and the incorrect term does sound close to what the doctor is dictating, the MT may not realize there is a mistake in the report that needs editing. This could be very dangerous if the doctors do not proofreading their reports carefully after they are returned to the system as complete.
Unless the VR technology improves substantially from where it stands now, I believe there will be gross errors not caught, which may lead to poor patient care and possible litigation.
I have been a MT since 1981 and have witnessed a lot of changes in this field. VR may appear to be an asset for medical personnel, but it may prove to be a detriment for patients. Sorry to come across as negative, just my opinion.
what I learned...
one can put 30.000-40.000.
Only if it is dictated 'between' 30.000 to
40.000, then write 'to';
or from 30.000 to 40.000.
Also AAMT BOS 2nd edition
Have learned
Have learned from talking with IRS I can become a Sole Proprietor and get an EIN. Nothing changes as far as filing and paying taxes, same as an IC. Sorry if this posts twice.
I took this course too. Learned how to
build my own computers. Never pursued a career in it but am planning on doing so if MTs goes downhill completely.
Does your course include networking too?
I learned that
disc was for the body and disk is for computers. I go by whatever the account spec says.
Yes I like it larger..helps my old eyes! nm

Congrats on still having your eyes open!
Your 11 p.m. to midnight hour will be credited to the previous day since it technically is yesterday.
Okay, don't think that made any sense.
11 p.m. to midnight on 08/28/2005 is credited to 08/28/2005
midnight to 7 a.m. on 08/29/2005 will be credited to 08/29/2005, and then when you go back to work at 11 p.m. tonight, that hour will be credited to today, so you will get your 8 hours, just kinda split.
Good luck! I'm dozing. Sunday/Monday is the hardest for me.
How about "Smiley" or "Googly" for the eyes! nm

My eyes are terrible now, 10 years of this job has
taken it's toll. My ears are terrible and I am 45. I think the hearing loss is hereditary but the tinnitus is definitely tied to the job. This job is definitely not worth losing any of my senses over.
In God's eyes, you're not an orphan...
Each and every one of us belong to Him. I will keep you in my prayers. Read Psalm 23. It uplifts me during very trying times, and I hope it helps you. Sometimes, only faith keeps us going, faith in better things to come.
Board went bonkers, right before me eyes! SM
I was trying to say - before board splattered TWO unfinished messages out there - that I don't know what shift you work and I don't care. I don't know what time Junior goes to soccer, and I don't care.
You are not working in an office. I don't know why I keep answering this post, when it is obvious that you think everybody should back off the work so you have bingo money.
Trying to contact Rolling Eyes
I am trying to get an email address for someone who regularly posts at "Rolling Eyes" e.g. Rolling Eyes on Sun, etc. If have a question about a prior post and want to send a private email. Thanks
No and I didn't and don't cross the eyes....sm
And I do it alone in front of a mirror in the bathroom...*lol* - not a pretty pose, you're right - but it WORKS for TMJ.....*S*
Have a nice day!!!! 
dry eyes office humidifier help
Hi, am looking for recommendations for a good little humidifier I can use in my office. The dry air from the central air is making my dry eyes very uncomfortable. I have a Reli-On that I just brought in, but it doesn't seem to be doing the job. I'm pretty much limited to shopping at Walmart in this town. I use eyes drops of course, but really need the moisture in the air. Thanks for any advice.
George Clooney...something about those eyes! nm

My eyes are wide open. Believe me, I know his
faults better than anyone. I can't keep religion of it, though, because it is a huge part of my life. It's not a crutch, it's simply a way of life. I, too, wish you the best. I know we all have our opinions and may not always agree, but that's okay, too. I hope you have a happy 4th, too!
In the eyes of the IRS an IC needs to work for more than one company (sm)
There are actually 20 important points - Google under worker status and IRS and you will find... I'm not good at links.. but you must use your own equipment, set your own hours, do work at your own pace, be allowed to hire subcontractors, etc. And this is why companies have a difficult time with ICs. But it can be done with a little understanding on both sides... For your sake and your company's sake - you really need to have a second or third job or at least be actively looking!
oh, that just made my eyes water!!! (sm)
I can't imagine with all of the toys that are available that someone would need to turn to fruits and veggies for thrills. OMG, you know, potatoes are the worst smelling ick when they start rotting. I wonder if the poor doc who removed it puked. and it was sprouting??? blech!
Wow! you brought tears to my eyes sm
I was all ready to be blasted and your post actually brought tears to my eyes. I know it isn't ME because the same ME was barely making $10 an hour average on the account I was assigned before I got the one I'm on now and have been on for the last 2 years. I thank my higher power every day for my luck and will never forget that awful account I had before this one.
