How is your daughter doing now? My thoughts and best wishes go out to you and your family - sm
I have a 5yo daughter and I cannot imagine what you must be going through. Hope everything is better now.
need positive thoughts
whether you have insurance or not, if you continue to experience chest pain, go to the nearest ER. I am a 42 year old who had to have a stent due to a 95% blockage. It is better to be alive than worried you will look silly.
Thank you for the positive thoughts.
I do have a little small something that might eventually need surgery, but it's not cancer. This doctor was very nice and didn't treat me like I was a hypochondriac.
I know this is probably the wrong board, but I need positive thoughts
prayers, whatever you can spare. I've been having left-sided chest pain for a couple of months now. I had two irregular EKGs about 18 months ago but couldn't get in with a cardiologist before losing my health insurance due to job loss. They've got a huge waiting list to get in, and "younger" people are at the bottom of the list. I'm just feeling panicky because I'm worried that it's breast or lung cancer or heart disease or something, and I've got young kids at home. I just hope this doctor doesn't treat me like I'm a hypochondriac because I'm a female Transcriptionist over the age of 30.
Prayers and positive thoughts coming Fluffy's way!

Is there a place to post requests for positive thoughts?
I applied for a job that I really want and need. The waiting game is killing me. I know it's out of my hands now, but I'm so antsy waiting to hear back from them. Please send me some positive job mojo thoughts. Thank you.
Totally not MT related but lots of smart people here for advice, I hope.
My son had a girlfriend some 8 years ago, she ran off with another guy to another state and it really didn't hurt my feelings at all. They had gone through a lot in the less than a year that they were together including my son helping her cope with a rape trauma that she had been through. I wish truly I could remember the number of months between the rape and her leaving, but I felt it was a short time. That really doesn't matter, but 5 years ago this girl sent an e-mail telling us our son was the possible father of her child "you do the math" but she "really thinks the other guy is the father." My son called her and she was going to send paperwork but never did. Now jump forward to yesterday, my son gets notified via phone that she's looking for him, that she has his daughter, and we're really not sure what to do. The girl does not know where we or my son lives but knows the general area. I'm afraid she'll just show up on my doorstep one day but my son doesn't live here anymore, he's a man with a life of his own. What would you do? Does anyone know the legality of all this?
not a bit homophobic. love queer guys for straight guys.
these guys are clever and witty and have good taste. they are who they are. not a problem. i have problems with boy-men who are currently trendy now. that's my taste. and it's kind of scary that women are attracted to these unisex boy-men culturally. no big deal unless you make it one. this is a board to exchange ideas right?
Oops! the are positive, not and positive.

Best Wishes
I wish you and your son all the best in the world and I am sure you will make the right choice and giving your son the right to make choices for himself is the right thing. To many parents today live through their children and not for their children.
My son wanted to do this and I agreed to it. Even though it is very time consuming, but at the same time it is full of rewards.
God Bless and Best of Luck
Thanks to everyone for the well wishes!
:)
Best wishes to you, too! (nm)

I feel like I should point out that (in the fairness of all) the God messages should be on the relgious board, it is a little presumptious to think we all believe in God.
That said, best of luck.
Thanks for the feedback and well wishes
I am preapproved for a loan but the payments scare me. I've never owned a home on my own before. I'm also cashing in my small 401k to use for it. I'm young yet, under 35, and know that that is not the smartest of ideas, but my NOT-darling, boyfriend, father of my youngest (2) (have 3 total) is prone to violent behavior. I've put up with his rantings for 3 years, NOT anymore. If I can just get through the next couple weeks .......the house is empty.....so hoping if things go okay, I can move in, maybe before closing. PRAY for me!
No problem! Best wishes!!
:-)
Can you believe it? Time sure does fly! Thank you all for the well wishes!
We're not planning to go anywhere anytime soon!
Best wishes to you on that plan, but
I have to admit that I was (and still am) an RN first. With all of its difficulties, I have to admit that I would prefer to be an MT than return to that extremely stressful situation of RN bedside nurse. The one good thing that I can say with regards to nursing is that the pay seems to be really good, though, and it does not seem difficult for a new grad to find a good niche in which to begin working. One piece of advice that I give is to work towards a minimum of a Bachelor's degree and possibly move on towards a Masters degree or even a PHD, before you are 50. Find a job that you can continue to do until older age, when your body may no longer be up to the physical stress required for direct patient care (especially when it includes lifting, turning the patient, etc.) Get into a specialty where you can use your brain more than your muscles. If you are not already doing so, get into an exercise program and take good care of your musculoskeletal system. If I were not almost geriatric, I would take my own advice. My big mistake was starting out with an Associate Degree and not continuing my nursing education. Believe it or not, I cannot even get a job in a doctor's office, as they prefer LPNs. I even called my state board of nursing and asked if I could get an LPN license by just being an RN and taking the LPN exam. They told me that I would have to complete an LPN training program first, which I am not inclined to do. I know it was a strange question to ask them, but I had to ask...Best to you..
Like it or not, she is a legal adult and can do what she wishes.
You can tell her your opinions, but you really have no control over this. Just as you wouldn't want someone forcing you to have an abortion because they believe it's right, she likely doesn't want you trying to force her to keep it because it's what you think is right.
All you can do is be there for her if/when she needs you. Yeah, it may stink that her beliefs are not the same as yours, but there's nothing you can do about.
Awesome!!! Congrats & best wishes! (nm)

Thx, not religious at all, but thanks for the good wishes! sm
I know it was meant well. Good wishes to all here. Peace.
Consider it done! Jenny is blessed to have a friend like you. Best wishes to all. nm

Can anyone tell me the best company to work for if one wishes to do only do op notes...sm
I have 30 years experience in MT work and for the last few years have been able to do exclusively operative notes which is what I love. I have been very happy with current company but have to start my work day early in the a.m. and now my account has been overstaffed to the point there is no work in the morning. While there is plenty of work late in the day, there is nothing in the morning and so I feel I must look for another company for at least part time op work initially and if it works out I could go full time. I have left my email address so please feel free to contact me. Thank you very much for any help you can offer.
Thanks for the good wishes, everyone. Happy Easter!

Thank you all for your kind wishes and prayers. It is much appreciated.
You are all great!
Cool staff. Thanks for the warm wishes.
Hope everybody here had a good Mother's Day.
Prayers and well wishes are just as important as financial help...
sorry you don't see it that way...
Thanks for your response and good wishes! I'm lookin' :)

I just wanted to send best wishes and luck to you and your family. nm

I hope this applies to companies like Medquist. I hope there
isn't a way they can get around it. I REALLY hope.
Oh. It's well wishes. Guess with the posts here on the subject that wasn't apparent. nm

frank says aloha and wishes you were here but unfortunately funds for Hawaii vacation dried up.
Frank is now working on a vacation for lucky MT to home office in beautiful downtown New Jersey.
how is this positive?
Is that if we're offered up sh@t, we're supposed to eat it, because it could be worse? Nice attitude.
well, I'm not positive but...sm
I don't think you can use any other Expander with DQS. An expander does what DQS does...when you type tp and DQS gives you the patient (if that's one you use)...I used Smart Type b4 (which is still my short cut for before!!) and LOVED it. It took me a long time to get production back up with DQS...but I was never as fast as you--2000 lines! wow 
You positive that's what it was? sm
If you're sure it was a panic attack, then I wouldn't go to the doctor. But if not absolutely sure, it could be something serious.
Extra stressors? How old are you (if you don't mind my asking!). Typical age is 30s. Lots of info easily found online.
As others said, the bag works for hyperventilating. Re-breathe the air from the bag.
Hope you feel better. No insurance sucks. I'm right there with you.
It was positive! sm
Congratulations! You will be in my prayers! 
Think positive (sm)
When you say about going to counseling and state "but I feel it is not going to help" is not starting off in a good direction. Go to counseling with an open heart. Tell youself that it WILL work. Tell yourself that the counselor is going to help both of you see new ways to handle life.
Not knowing your husband's mental health issue, it's hard to put a finger on that. I'm saying it sounds like he's depressed? If he's not working due to this mental health issue, that's probably a nice slap on the ego as well.
With regard to getting help, ask him to come help you do whatever. I used to do the same thing, do everything while DH sat on his behind. We went for counseling and I let it be known at that point that I wanted a partner, not another kid. I wanted a partner in all aspects of our marriage; 50/50 marital, 50/50 in parenting, 50/50 in house keeping. We then went from there and figured out how to help this out. I told the counselor I felt like I was expected to do everything. He was kind of surprised to hear me say that. After that, we all started doing our own laundry, even him!!! He does his own work clothes too.
I'm going to bet that if your husband can feel like he's contributing more, maybe he'll feel better and start taking better care of himself. I know back in the day when I was depressed and feeling the world upon my shoulders, looking nice was the last thing on my mind.
Something positive
Yesterday I went to my daughter's school to have lunch. This was the first time the school did this so it was very disorganized and the schedule was running an hour behind. There were all of these moms fretting because they had to get back to work, and some even had to leave before they were able to participate. Seeing this made me very happy to be an MT (IC) because I didn't have to worry about getting back to work right away and got to enjoy the time without the anxiety of what kind of trouble I would be in with the boss.
I know we all have complaints and things that are not fair in this profession, but that is one huge benefit that I am more than happy to take.
Try to be positive sm
You have a great educational background. I met people along the way who could not spell diarrhea correctly. You may be able to help a large dental facility such as Tufts-NE in Boston or a service a large facility contracts their work to. You could start slow, gain confidence. You will definitely not make money at first, but if you want to stay home with your child, think of the costs you will eliminate and the pleasure you will gain by just being home. Don't be discouraged. Where there is a will, there is a way. Perhaps someone will direct you to some SUM program tapes, etc. and you could slowly build up your word book dictionaries by buying used. I started out buying books from the Salvation Army as I live near a large prestigious university. People tried to discourage me as well, but I learned fast and furious as I had a good education and a good head on my shoulders. Don't give up! Good luck!
You actually get POSITIVE feedback
nm
Positive things!
Okay, I'm with ya here. I really need to start focusing on the positives in my life instead of the negatives. This is a fantastic way for me to start.
Let's see now. I'm a recently divorced (YIPPEE - put that off for ten years!!) mother of 2. Although it can be isolating working at home sometimes, I wouldn't trade it for anything!! I make twice (sometimes three times) as much as I would per hour in a hospital. I don't have to pay for day care - EVER.
Oh, and since I make so much, I was able to keep the house (my ex couldn't ever afford it). I'm proud to say I have not had to borrow ONE PENNY from anyone through my divorce, I did it all on my own!
I can always be worse, I'm trying to be positive
You could be one of those in New Orleans, then would the pay cut mean anything to you? You would be happy to be alive. Why is it that only what affects us personally matters? This is what is wrong with society. My husband took a 25% pay cut a year ago, now the company he works for is bankrupt, slated to shut down in 9 days. He has worked there for 35 years. Be thankful you have a job, or get a new one.
A positive pause...please sm
Just wanted to share a link with anyone who could use a little positivity today...it's truly worth it 
http://www.greatday.com
Peace...out.
I'm positive - maybe if I "google" it (sm)
Duh. I figured it out, it's positive. nm
The responses I get and usually positive.
The most common is, "Oh, I know someone who does that. She makes a lot of money!"
Positive experience here...
We filed Chapter 7 a couple of years ago (before new laws). Best thing that ever happened. Since then we have paid off our house, saved money and are driving older paid-for cars. We only pay cash. If we don't have enough, we save it. It actually turned into a blessing for us. I think credit is absolutely ruining so many people's lives. Better to do without for now and save! Then if you save, you can pay for emergencies. Good luck in whatever you decide!!
Thank you for the positive encouragement!
It is a very scary thing to do, but I am not going to quit...I need to continue on.
