My husband just had a similar situation, only his was a growth on the side of his nose. Doctors thought it was a cyst or a mite that got stuck in there. After sending it off to 3 labs, it was diagnosed as Cutaneous T-cell lymphoma. They may have gotten the whole thing during the surgery, but husband still has to undergo 20 days of radiation therapy to the site. His prognosis is excellent. He was very scared during the waiting period and once he received the diagnosis, however he has adjusted to getting the radiation and has settled down.
You can be his support. When my husband had all kinds of negative things running through his mind, I kept encouraging him that it may not be as serious as he is imagining. I also have a brother that had Non-Hodgkins lymphoma and he talked to my husband about his treatment, which helped my husband a lot, as well.
Good luck, I'll keep your family in my prayers.

My theory is no news is good news. (sm)
If there is really a problem with your transcription, then I would not worry about it. They will get to you if you screw up.
As far as policies and procedures, look in your manual. I am sure they gave you info for all of that stuff. JMO.

I have good news and bad news 4U...
The good news is on Saturday, July 1 many of your least favorite residents will be "graduating." The bad news is that on the same day you'll be getting a virtual box of candy with brand new residents who have no clue how to dictate! RU excited?? ARGHHHH!!!! 
Good news - thanks
:)
Good news! sm
She wrote back about 2:30 and agreed to 8 CPL. Very happy. I know it's hard out there, as I was an MTSO. Very happy she could do it.
good news
Glad to hear there are so many still trying to steer their kids in the right direction. I've been wondering have all the parents gone mad. Around here there seems to be a very few who take the time to know what their kids are doing. What really blows my mind is those parents who know and dont' do anything about it--or worse, encourage it. Let's hear it for the strict moms! Whoo-hoo!
Good news
I will be starting back on my old position in the next few weeks. Whew! Big relief! Thanks for all the replies
Just good news
Just heard on the TV where a teacher got choked on a salad at school. The only person around her was an 11 year old student of hers who asked if she was alright, she told him no and he immediately got behind her to do the Heimlich maneuver and dislodged the stuck food. Now get this, he said it must have been intervention from above- he did not know the name of what he did, had never even seen it performed and basically he said just had to move and move quick to try to help her. Is that not a good story??
GOOD NEWS
What a good story - thanks for sharing.
Good news. Woo hoo!

Good News
My mammogram came back normal! I am so relieved. I want to thank those of you who responded and provided caring and encouragement to me. I really appreciate it and I also appreciate having this place to come to that is full of people who understand all about being an at home medical transcriptionist.
Sorry not to have good news, but the UK went to SM
the EMR some time ago (national health insurance). Do a search on MT activity in England and see what you (don't) find.
Well at least some good news
is that Sallie Mae announced that due to unemployment rising they are moving over 1,000 jobs back to the USA from India. That's great news for me, as I have to deal with their poor English skills and rudeness to handle my student loan account.
Good news
Thanks. It sounds like I am doing the norm. I was given a different impression from my company, but as I mentioned in my bottom post, the communication and thinking there leaves a lot to be desired. I was also instructed by a couple different people in management that asking for advice or tips on this (or any) MT board was the worst thing I could do. Hmmm...? :)
Assigning Can Also Be Good News s/m
My office assigns work to me, and in DocQScribe, they come up with a little "R" next to the job number for "routed". Periodically, they are nasty and were obviously attempted and jettisoned by someone else. More often, however, they are a bank of reports for a particular dictator, who I suspect has gone through the channels and whined and wants all their reports NOW.
The pros of this situation:
One dictator for 10 reports means I can fly through because they're probably saying the same things over and over. Or at least I can get used to their style and plug away.
Sometimes the group I'm routed is awesome: seven podiatry surgeries or consults in a row.
I like to think that things are routed to me because my office knows I will sit still and type until every one of them is done. I'd like to think they can count on my accurancy and efficiency.
I take it as a compliment. Maybe it's intended that way for you too, even when it sucks rocks. My partner gets nasty, nasty dictators routed to her sometimes because she's one of the few people who can do them and refrains from whining. Building goodwill with your MTSO pays off in odd little ways in the long run. And again, while it sucks for you, it might your strong work ethic and accuracy that leads your supervisor to believe you are the one for these jobs. Take heart!
Congrats to you on your good news!! :)

The good news about links...sm
"missing" on that site is that you can add more yourself. That appears to be the whole purpose of the site - to provide links to references (ergo MTReference) that one might need while working.
Anyone can find anything on the internet; you're right about that. But I'd prefer not to be worried so much about that and more worried about doing my job correctly with appropriate references and answers.
Don't register if you are not interested in the site. I, for one, appreciate that it is there.
Thanks for sharing the good news! (sm)
it's so nice to hear that things are better instead of worse for someone!
:-)
That is GREAT news! Good for you!
That IS a rainbow after a storm now!
I am truly happy for you and KUDOS to that hospital system for yanking those jobs out of the grips of the greedmonger MTSOs in India.
I would apply myself if I didn't have to drive to Michigan!!
I hope all goes well with you. Congratulations.
Well, the good news is no one knew you were a newcomer!
But can't you look back and re-read your post and rather see the humor in it? You describe all these horrible natural disasters, but with no detail, and then say your landscapers "suck". Sometimes we have to be able to laugh at ourselves, especially our written words, and that did sound funny! And with fires and monsoons and microbursts, your post just shocked lots of us!
A big smile and nothing but good news for the first 24 hours.
That's what men like best.
Finally maybe some good news on the horizon, please see

Any good/bad news about free firewall
I needing to find a firewall and thought I'd ask you all for opinions - Any good ones? Any to stay away from?
When I am on my computer, I keep hearing clicking sounds as you hear when you click on something within a website. Am I being paranoid? I have heard stories where people's computers have been "overtaken". My Norton Security expired this month and just a couple of weeks ago I downloaded a free antivirus program that was recommended by my home office. Now I'm without a firewall and I think I made a mistake in doing that.
Not-so-good news re: medical coding,
I was watching the news tonight (Sacramento, CA area), and there was a story about a lady who was looking for work. She had spent $10,000 on a coding/billing education, but can't find work. Apparently that field is "saturated", as the newscaster said. (Maybe from lots of MTs trying to get into that?) Anway, I had sort of been thinking about going to school to learn coding, but now I think I'll pass.
It is great to hear good news!
Good for you!! It is so nice to hear a positive post.
I do not suppose you would care to share your new company?
I love hearing good news! Congrats to you BOTH! NM

That is such good news, I am sooooo happy for you and Tom Kitty

breast biopsy
I had a breast biopsy a month ago (stereotactic), and for what ever reason, I'm still having pains underneath my breast where the incision was made, my question is, should this still be hurting ? Also, can the marker they placed move ? I know it sounds dumb but it just feels weird in the center of my chest. Thanx for any help. 
So glad to hear your good news!!!! Eat a candy bar anyway :-) no message

prostate biopsy term
I had to flag it and blank it, but if I ever find out what the word was, I'll share. Thank you all very much for trying to help me figure it out!
Status post stereotactic biopsy
Infection and hematoma are possible complications of stereotactic biopsy. You probably developed a hematoma at the biopsy site. In some cases, the hematoma takes months to completely resolve. Were you instructed on hot compresses?
Markers can migrate to inaccurate locations due to the "accordion effect." A good Surgeon will NOT rely on the current position of the markers, but would rely on the anatomical landmarks of the breast tissue to localize the position of the biopsy site.
The pain from the surgical site could radiate in a dermatomal distribution. However, you need to be evaluated for that "substernal heaviness/pressure" that you say you are experiencing, to rule out MI.
In summary, call your doctor ASAP.
Disclaimer: The above response was intended to answer questions posted on the Internet, and in NO WAY constitutes a patient-physician relationship.
If this was something worrisome I would think they would have already ordered a core biopsy.

Good point, ours have never gotten that bad as yet, hope they never do! - nm

Good to know. Thanks. I hope he has someone at home sm
who can do that for him. He'll just have to keep growing! Thank goodness no one has thought 20" is too small!
How was everyone's Christmas? Good, I hope.
We wound up missing the big Christmas Day family feast because one of our kids woke up from a nap with a 102.4 degree temperature. It hit 104.9 in the middle of the night last night. Of course, the clinic is closed today so I'll have to take him to the ER if things don't get better soon. Poor little sprite.
Good, I hope it works... nm
Good grief. I hope you are kidding, please. nm

Wooohooo!! Good for you!! Hope you stay there!
Nope, didn't write the letter!
Now if we can just keep the termites like yourself away, we'll do just fine thank ya!
Good luck..hope you have a better experience..
than I did with them
Good luck. I hope it works for you!
I always used to wonder why so many people on ebay started listing from smoke-free home. Then I bought an antique book,and boy did I understand! Now you will definitely be asking the smoke free home question right away for anything on Ebay, right? Yuck. Again, I used to smoke for decades and had no idea how awful it smells.Smokers don't really smell it themselves! Have fun, too!!
Hope you're good with accents! sm
All customer service is outside of the US and I had a really tough time communicating with them. Also if you choose to discontinue early there's a whopping $90 fee that's buried in the fine print.
I used Vonage with broadband satellite for 2 months and it disconnected frequently on me....my satellite has been stable for years with multiple platforms so I suspect Vonage is just not suited for satellite. Just a heads up!
Good to hear it. Hope you find it useful. NM

Good grief, hope it doesn't have too many changes sm
If so, we should get our money back on the 2nd, geez! Enough is enough.Some of the 2nd is wrong anyway, leave us alone!
I hope I can be that good and exp. one day that a company trusts me enough to say hey you don't n

Good for you but I hope you get off your high horse
i agree with your post -- however, you just don't seem to get it -- CIRCUMSTANCES happen -- my s/o and I had something happen last month to where he had to renew a license for his work -- had it renewed and on PAPER, however, his company said they wanted the "hard plastic copy" he has to carry a gun to work and the state and federal government took their sweet time -- he got laid off, applied for unemployment, got a couple of checks for a WHOPPING $275 a week!!! -- Finally, last week got a call from his employer "even though you legally can't carry a gun right now, we have a position" -- this week the PROPER paperwork came in, he got rehired, but LOST ALL his senority. I hope you are wonderful and yes, we DO live within our means, we use ATM cards etc and I balance my checkbook but who the heck are YOU to judge!!!!
Anytime! Hope it gets worked out. Good luck! nm
good on ya. Hope all goes well and you do not have to figure out what India is telling you.
I have a Dell, but everytime I have to talk to India, they always make the problem worse, and I have had to pay 50 bucks for them not to be able to fix it.
Good luck, I hope you get a nice raise! nm

I copied and pasted, hope you do not mind but this is really good (NM)

I'll be here! Good luck tonight!! Hope you have work
galore! 
Good luck to ya! Hope 2008 is the year of the transcriptionist !
