Inquest will be October 23rd.....sm
As of the news now, Daniel's death is very suspicious. The 3rd person in the room was Anna Nicole's attorney. They say now that the child did not have a heart attack nor was he on antidepressants as originally disinformed to the public. There will be an inquest on October 23rd.
I feel bad for Anna Nicole and her mother. Losing a child is probably THE WORST!!
Can you use a plus sign for hyper and minus sign for hypo?

I wish you were in Iowa!
Take a deep breath. Unless you've got a USB monitor, which are really not at all common, the place you plug in your monitor should have nothing to do with where you plug in your foot pedal. You are likely looking at a bunch of "pin" connectors and assuming that they all plug into the same place. They don't. Usually, even with Dells, they're kinda marked as to what they're for. There should be a a sort of square where the monitor plugs in and it's shaped like a rhombus. I'm guessing that you've got a game-port foot pedal, and you'll need an adapter so that you can plug that into a USB port.

1.99 in SE Iowa today...I'm happy! (nm)
For Iowa their 12 cpl is good. IHP usually offers...
11 cpl to contractors. If you're from Iowa IHP should be one you recognize, their statewide.
The local service in Waterloo, pays their MTs 6 cpl, ridiculous. Hospitals paying hourly are still around $9 hourly.
It's the midwest, for those others who don't know but cost of living is nothing near other areas of the country.
Personally, I work for a national on the east coast and make 10 cpl employee status, far better than anything I've seen in my home state.
Well, you must live in Po-Dunk, Iowa, and not
you can survive on less. Having one's own account is NOT the same as being a 100% full-time employee, which is what I am.
You head-up-your-backside, horn-tootin' heifers who think you invented this profession, and are so high'n'mighty that you feel fit to tell everyone else how to live their lives and whether or not to stay in MT make me laugh. Do you know what 'faster & better' is gunna add up to in the not-so-distant future? Less pay per line, NOT more money.
Dream on, Bossy.
Iowa is dry today, flurries yesterday, maybe hit 50
Iowa & Nebraska Medical Directories available
I hope I am allowed to post this here. I have an Iowa Medical Directory and a Nebraska Medical Directory which I was forced to purchase to do transcription for a certain company. They are no longer needed. If anybody can use them, please let me know.
Iowa/Nebraska Medical Directories
The Iowa Medical Directory is October 2006 and Nebraska is December 2006.
Iowa and Nebraska Medical Directories
The directories contain adresses, phone numbers, etc on each medical provider, clinics, and hospitals in the state.

yer welcome. with the advent of computers, it's MUCH easier here in Iowa to get a coding job at
The fields have changed around, kinda. Stay home and CODE, not type.
That is true, when you sign up you sign up from the
day your former insurance terminated. Then it is on a month to month basis.
weird..if you look up the profiles, the "guy from Iowa" is from New York..wonder if he origina

Did you see where Andy from Iowa survived the first elimination round on that cooking show!
It's kinda like Survivor in that people get voted off... I think it's called America's Next Great Cooking Show Host or something. and the guy from Iowa (reminds me of Dudley Do-Right) stayed in there! WOOHOO!
Especially for Iowa, that is pretty good. UI can get good over time, but that's because of the u

She has no sign that says that but obviously you do.
She has worked in nothing but the best behavior. She kept her chin up and kept morale up while she was working way too many hours with way too little time off.
I dont know where you come off saying that other than thinking that you must have that sign on YOUR back. Don't transfer your stuff to someone else. Have a nice night.
Well it's just the way I am. I sign my name to almost SM
everything I post. I'll admit I've gone anonymous a few times, but it is rare. I'm just not going to do it. I stand behind anything I say - if it's wrong, then I made a mistake, I wasn't trying to hornswoggle anybody.
It is easy to see the culprit behind these MTs who can't make any money. You hear people talking about "platforms" and searching for demographics, etc. That's the problem.
I work for somebody for whom I am a source of income, not a cost center. The faster I am, the more we both make.
I do use my Expanders - a lot - and I've used the same shortcuts for years. But the main thing is that I work in Word without worrying about how some unit secretary is going to pull up the report I just typed. The company I work for isn't there to make sure the consultant on 4E can see the work quickly without shuffling papers. They're there to produce a fast and accurate medical record - period.
That other stuff is for the hospital to worry with, and the hospital I work for has some kind of system where my Word documents go in their system in batches. I wouldn't pretend to know what that is, LOL, but I'm not crippling along on a program that was designed for everybody but ME, and that's what happens at these big companies. They have to have a selling point, and that seems to be it.
"Here, let us do your transcription. Here's how it works. The MT types your report, it goes into the chart electronically. And the stuff is all there for the data miners, too, so everybody can like us!" This was true for Dictaphone, Lanier, everybody. They all had to have an angle for everybody in the hospital and the MT was left sucking hind teat, as we say out in the country.
Been there and done that and would only go back if I had absolutely no other choice. As much as I love this profession, I couldn't figure out why people gripe about not making money so much - and then I went to work for a national and found out real quick. 
My sign is Leo...nm
Before you sign
I don't know what they are charging you but I talked to several before I went with Trinity Debt Management whose name was given to me by my church and they were the cheapest. But I still ended up filing a Chapter 13 because of a divorce that cost me so much I could not pay the bills. But I did start with them and they were very nice. It cost $50 to start the program but their monthly maintenace fees were way cheaper than the other major ones I talked with. Some wanted as much as $100 to $150 per month to manage my account that was a payment to a bill. But I chose the Chapter 13 repayment program and pay $300 a month for three years to the courts and they pay it out and the balances are then wiped clear. I only had to pay partial attorney fees, mainly filing fees, the rest was put into the monthly fee. I still feel bad but at least am paying something. But there is nothing you can do when you go from two paychecks to one and doesn't feel the bills are his responsibility. Good luck. Just thought I would mention them.
Patti
she did sign for 3 yrs but if we all....nm
No, and don't ever sign...
Any type of contract or agreement that has that clause in it! Be aware!
They probably won't sign
They will probably hee and haw and not sign a contract or they put in whereas for "cause they can terminate the service immediately" or with 15 to 30 days notice they can terminate the service without cause. So with or without a contract they will terminate her services when they find someone else if that is what they are doing. Who knows I could be wrong and will probably get my goose cooked for working now for 15 years without contracts and have to eat my words. Time will tell.
I would sign....but
I won't spend $2 to do it!! Rip....
Where do I sign up?
 I would sure like to meet you in person...I've been an MT for 42 years (started at age 17 when transcription was still lumped in under "Medical Secretary." I have worked in all venues of transcription...clinic, MTSO and legal...but never found the time to actually get all the credentialing an MT needs in the current environment. After "proving" myself, I was promoted to supervisory level and my greatest pleasure was "helping" other MTs as I had been helped in my early years. If you ever implement your "program", let me know because I'll sign up anytime/anywhere!! 
You don't want to sign it off any other way or ...
...you will not get credit for your lines. Use the unknown patient MRN, type it and sign if off. Follow your company/client's specifications on how to accomplish that.
I do want to sign it off
because it is a personal letter and he does not want it on the hospital system. I would be typing it in Word and be paid separately. He has quite a few of these he wants done. The point is he doesn't want the lines in the system. Thank you.
Then don't sign it
Don't agree to it and don't sign it and if you do, then don't whine about it.
That would be the first sign of
epicondylitis (better known as tennis elbow). This is
very common in repetitive movement in the hand/wrist, which of course all MT's apply themselves to day after day. I experienced that for the first time in my MT life 1-1/2 years ago, very painful. After viewing articles via Internet, this totally alleviated the problem as follows. One hour before starting work, take 600 mg ibuprofen, buy a tennis elbow brace or 2, I just had it in the left hand, you wear it approximately 1/2 inch "below" the epicondyle everyday constantly that you work...within at least 4 weeks, you will find that you no longer have the pain, thus can now stop the ibuprofen, but continually wear the tennis elbow brace while working to avoid recurrence of the problem.

Have you ever seen this dictated as part of HEENT exam on history and physical exam.
please sign this petition...
I received this from my sister, please pass it on. It is very important. It may not be LEGAL, but it is important... just click on the link, then click on the sign petition...let's make our voices heard on this issue...please also pass it on.. .
Mastectomy Bill in Congress:
It takes 2 seconds to do this and is very important...please take
the time and do it really quick!
Breast Cancer Hospitalization Bill - Important legislation for all
women.
Please send this to everyone in your address book. If there was ever
a time when our voices and choices should be heard, this is one of those
times. If you are receiving this it's because I think you will take the
30 seconds to go and vote on this issue and send it on to others you know
who will do the same.
There's a bill called the Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act which
will require insurance companies to cover a minimum 48-hour hospital
stay for patients undergoing a mastectomy. It's about eliminating the
"drive-through mastectomy" where women are forced to go home hours after
surgery against the wishes of their doctor, still groggy from anesthesia
and sometimes with drainage tubes still attached.
Lifetime Television has put this bill on their web page with a
petition drive to show your support. Last year over half the House
signed on.
PLEASE!! Sign the petition by clicking on the web site below. You
need not give more than your name and zip code number.

I would not sign it, seems like they have something to hide
to sign it. Obviously they are trying to protect themselves from a MQ type of situation. Makes you wonder though?
No, I didn't sign up,
x
Did not sign for Ipay
I did not want to join Ipay..however, I should still get a check if Im owed one, right?
Not many. We're too far away. I tried to sign up to take in
a child who hadn't found his or her parents, but most of them have extended families and I'd have to be registered as a foster parent.
What a deal! Where do I sign up????
There's a sign o' the times, eh?
//
do NOT sign any such agreement
x
I had a chance to sign up.
My ex-employer was into it. There were some local people who did well with it and were in that upper group. Also, I had the opportunity to check out some of the tapes without buying. I still never found the money to get started. Now I am glad I didn't.
Have to sign contract and
have to give a month notice if I do not like it, or feel it will not make enough money. It is user friendly and can use expanders.
Sign on Bonuses
When are sign on bonuses, relocation assistance, usually paid out?
THE SIGN ON MY DOOR
WE ARE UNABLE TO ANSWER THE DOOR TO UNSCHEDULED CALLERS. PLEASE PHONE AHEAD. No soliciting. No trespassing.
I may peep out the window to see who is out there, but they cannot see me and I will not answer it. Later on you can always tell them you were in the shower, bathroom, phone conference, etc. and did not hear the door or could not leave your meeting.
Ask yourself -- would people let you walk into their office building and interrupt them on their job if they were at their desk on the phone with the boss or a client? NOT.
It's the Homans sign

Sign of the times
Both Mary Kay and Avon have great eye products. Try ebay for a great price on them. You might even find a sample--I know there were samples of Mary Kay's Eye Creme at one time.
or she could just sign CallMeKikki

I would never sign one if asked.
