Nope, I'm losing brain cells here
I don't waste my time arguing with illiterates so I'm out of this thread.

You have a good time polluting it with your unintelligible posts, though.

Laterzzzz.....
Yeah, I used to years ago but no heavy usage, what killed by brain cells
not getting high. Granted if I had done it a lot, maybe so, but I have 1 good friend who got high every day, she has a Master's degree and is a respected Speech Therapist, though we tease her about her specialty, "swallowing".
Heck, having kids deletes brain cells, year after hear!

Agree! Board is like chatting. Work requires more brain cells.

That's what kills me...
When I started with MQ I was given every doc on the account, good or bad, and believe me I did not make much money (this was ten years ago) but I stuck it out. No one did ME the favor of routing the crap to the "old-timers" so I could just do the easy stuff since I was new. I definitely paid my dues - I guess that is not required anymore.
It always kills me when I see posts like these... (sm)

Especially when it involves children, but also any family member. 


Our insurance has a 24-hour 1-800 number for questions like these. We have had three different insurance carriers in the past five years.  ALL THREE have had this service. 


Our primary care physician has an after-hours number you can call to page a doctor or nurse.  I have NEVER had a physician in my adult life who did not have an answering service who could page him or her. 


Our pediatrician has a 24-hour number to call to page a doctor or nurse.  I have NEVER had a pediatrician for our children who did not have this service. 


Our local hospital has a 24-hour number you can call to discuss symptoms like these with staff. 


WHY would someone come onto a message board with a question about acute family health issues when there are other more obviously appropriate places to go for advice?  Go to the ER.  That's what the ER is for.  If you have to pay it off, you have to pay it off.  But coming to a transcription message board just seems so silly.   


(And, for those of you with no life but to go around correcting typos, any typos made by a previous poster does not change the veracity of her statements.  To come here looking for advice on what appears to be an acute allergic reaction is just plain stupid.  And, quite frankly, the attention I pay to my typos when I am typing a report is very different than when I am posting on a message board, and while I have yet to be corrected personally, it is so annoying to see you people who seem to feel like you have to correct typos.  Grow up.)


 


It kills me when one of mine says sm
organomeglia, thyromeglia, ausculation, ab-NOR-mal-ties and palpitation of the chest wall, and she is born and raised in the USA!
only thing a/c kills is mold/mildew!...nm
.
I have tried countless times too many to mention and nothing is done about the cells phone, trains,

buses, dictating in the nursing stations with phone laughing and talking, same thing right in the OR rooms, so I give up. It is ridiculous. I think it is time for me to find another hospital or a company that will address these concerns because MQ will not do it. Mark my words. I think they are afraid of antagonizing the account. My opinion.


Be aware that as you age and lose skin cells, that will affect appearance of tatoo.

pregnancy
I spotted the entire 24 weeks until my youngest son was born. He had all of the things that come with prematurity, but is now a healthy 11-yr-old. I had a prior C-section and severe endometriosis though. In my case, they called it incompetent cervix. Is this your first pregnancy? If I were you, I'd take the others' advice and try to relax (off your feet) for a couple of days. I hope all turns out well for you.
This is my 2nd pregnancy...sm

My son is about 3-1/2 years old now.  PERFECT pregnancy..No complications, no spotting.  Everything was perfect.  That is why I am so scared this time.  I know all pregnancy are not alike.  Please pray that everything works out fine.  I really, really do appreciate all of the good thoughts and comments. 


I will keep you updated on the progress Tuesday. 


Pregnancy
Not much advise, just possible congrats if you are pregnant. Those tests were always accurate with me and it seems like it may be saying you are. Maybe wait another day and try another test. Again, sorry I'm not much help. Sending good vibes your way.
Pregnancy
From my experience, with my own pregnancies & patient's pregnancies....the little faint line you are seeing is an indication of a positive pregnancy. The reason for it being so faint is most commonly because you are very newly pregnant (in a stage that most women never even know that they are pregnant yet). The line is faint because it is reflecting the HCG levels in your urine and it has found alittle bit, but not a lot. Thus a faint line appears. In a week or so, expect a much darker line. My guess is that you are probably pregnant and I would just retest in a few days to make sure. Also, keep in mind that not all women are able to get reliable results with the at home tests. Several patients in the past have received negative readings on their at home tests and came into the doctor's office for a serum pregnancy test to find out for sure...Many were pregnant! The HCG hormone doesn't always show up for all women when they use at home tests. Best of luck to you and your family!
One way I knew with my last pregnancy...
My breasts were VERY tender...even before I realized my period was late. I stopped at the store on my way home that very night, did the test as soon as I got home, and voila...baby #3 on the way...any symptoms of pregnancy besides being late on your period? That's a good indication of yes or no...good luck!
Illness/pregnancy
These are supposed to be treated the same - 12 weeks leave - my mother-in-law got sick last year and when she could not go back to work by the date that the hospital specified (she's a nurse) they terminated her from her job - and she had worked at this place for 20 years. I would seek legal advice on this subject before telling anyone at work.
Seafood and Pregnancy
No, they shouldn't because of the risk of food poisoning and/or mercury content.
same with tuna and pregnancy......nm

Try Fact Plus pregnancy test
My OB-GYN used to use these in her office.  She said they were the most accurate.
I only used a hand pump for last pregnancy sm
But I WAH and never really left my son. I used an Avent Isis - a really great hand pump.

Now, for working moms, they recommend a dual electric pump - if you are nosy and want to check them out, 2 of them are called Medela Pump In Style and Ameda Purely yours. The electric ones are supposed to (hopefully) get more milk faster, as both sides can let down at the same time. In addition, it cuts down pumping time doing both at once.

I am pregnant again right now and don't plan on going electric if I can help it :) I'd much rather feed right from the tap!

I had similar problem with my first pregnancy.

I had more bleeding than you, but no cramping or any other issues.  It was in my first trimester.  I can't remember how far along I was, but it was fairly early.  Anyway the first thing my OB/GYN asked me was had I had *ex and I had a few hours earlier.   She wasn't the least concerned, but of course I was scared to death.  She told me not to have any "activity" for a while and I was a cough potato the next day or two just to be safe, but my son is 15 now and I had no similar problems throughout the rest of the pregnancy although I was having "relations."    I think she said a hormone in the *perm could cause the bleeding.  


Think positive and take it easy.  Let us know how it goes. 


 


Positive serum pregnancy
Yes, it happened to me spotting on tissue only for 2 days, son is now almost 20. Doctor first said she did not know if it was a viable pregnancy, told me to go home and take it easy for a week, I did just what she said. Bleeding stopped by the next day. Good luck to you.
I spotted from week 10 through 17 of my second pregnancy. (sm)
My daughter is now almost 10. I'm sure everything will be fine. I will be praying for you.
Positive pregnancy test
Indeed I've had that experience with two months of bleeding/spotting with a positive pregnancy test, the result of which was a lovely 11 lb 9 1/2 oz, 26-inch long baby boy born by natural delivery with a smile on his beautiful face. The lovely boy is now 6'4" inches tall and the love of my life. My prayers go with you for a successful outcome.
YES, if the pregnancy or delivery was complicated...nm

Has anyone ever had a positive serum pregnancy test and...sm
then started bleeding or spotting without any pain?  I had 2 positive urine tests and then started spotting or having a period but not as heavy (only sign of blood was on tissue).  I have been doing this for 2 days, so I went to the ER today.  Serum test was 154...I have to go back in 2 days in which time they say it should double if everything is okay.  Has anyone had experience like this and came out okay? 
Yes, I had a period, no joke, for 5 months of pregnancy.
Doc didn't understand, baby was healthy, born on time, no complications.
Well I DID have bleeding with my ectopic pregnancy in August, so it is possible.
An early ultrasound at the hospital was incorrectly read at the hospital as intrauterine, but when my OB/GYN did another ultrasound, it was ectopic.
That I can understand. A planned pregnancy is a much different issue
nm
Is the patient pregnant? ITP is usally intrauterine pregnancy in OB.

Has anyone ever been late for their period but got a negative pregnancy test
my boobs hurt, my stomach is swollen, I throw up all the time, anyone else ever thought they were pregnant and had this happen?  I'm 4 days late and the test said no... So I would think that the test would be correct.. I have never in my life have had sore breasts I feel like I'm nuts ...
Yes. I was pregnant anyways. The home pregnancy test was wrong.
Then the doctor told me to have a D&C because he couldn't find the heartbeat on ultrasound, so he told me it was a miscarriage. Actually, my ovulation was off. I refused to have the D&C and my son was born 7.5 months later.

Are you trying to get pregnant? Are you using birth control? Sometimes you can feel pregnant or even have a blighted ovum or early miscarriage that won't register with any pregnancy hormone. I had one at 10 weeks. Swollen boobs and water retention can be caused by hormones or stress. I would suggest to just relax and see what happens in the next week, then try another PG test.
i stopped reading at the unwed pregnancy part
statistics have shown that teen pregnancy has gone down in the past 30 years. Most unwed pregnancies these days are by choice by grown women. In 1996 I was 25, wanted a child and was not married, so I made the decision to have a child on my own. Is that a bad thing? Now, I own my own home, my daughter wants for nothing and is a straight A student, and I am by no means rich or come from money. I work hard and have instilled good values in my daughter. I don't see that as any part of some explosion of bad behavior....sorry but I have to disagree with you. If you are offended by what you saw/heard/smelled that is fine but to judge these people as "bad", well that's for a higher power to decide, don't you think?
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed.  That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups.  Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge.  Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful.  Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges.  You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy.  You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now.  I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids.  My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play.  Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance.  Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem.  But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life.  Know what I mean?
She had an ectopic pregnancy. They were showing everything that happened in the past. Next week it

That should read "are pregnancy women..." And I'll be over around 6 for dinner. I love Lob

Everyone said that about DOS in the early 80s
.
I think it is early too..sm
Lots to do after wedding, honeymoon, getting settled, enjoying new life, etc.  Big job to write all those thank you notes.  I still remember after 40 years struggling to get that done!!!!  I bet you'll be getting one.  If these people are friends, they're probably like you and raised their daughter to be appreciative. Give it more time.  
You were right to get out early
I was very patient with a one of those type clients and had to threaten to take them to court to get the money they owed me.
anyone not any one....sorry -- still early :)
nm
I know it's too early but..

I have hundreds of hotties,beauties and smarties to wish, so I thought to finish off uncles and aunties first.


HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!


sorry, too early
Sorry for the extra "where...." Too early in the morning.
I think I found it, found multiple recipes with the same
exact ingredients so I figure this must be it. 
oh please. Put in a brain. Unfortunately your
type of thinking is very common in our field.
Worked in early 90s for 15 cpl
I work in a clinic and am salaried. I decided to pick up some extra work at home and try out one of these companies. Offered 9 cpl...In early 90s, I worked at home for 15 cpl for the local hospital. Who are these companies kidding?  What's up with that? I think I'll call the hospital back. But I've heard they are outsourcing now, so they may not pay that anymore either. I believe all these companies out there have been the cause of the drop in OUR pay. Whatcha think?
I have those same symptoms, but I'm in my early 30s.

Have you had a tubal or come off BC pills?  I was doing some research the other day and came up with hormonal imbalance, but not estrogen like they think.  One of the posters on the Ask the Dr. board recommend progesterone cream for the sore hoohas.  Read down the board and you'll see the posts.  She said the doctors are mistreating it with BC pills, which only makes it worse..  I'm making an appt w/my doctor and asking for an endocrine evaluation to see how out of whack everything is.  FWIW, my former doctor put me on BC pills with Prozac for my PMS.  The physical symptoms got worse, while the Prozac made me sleep 12 hours a day, have really wild dreams, and lose all motivation to clean the house or work.  I do not like that stuff.


There are there boys here, and believe me, males have their hormonal mood swings, too.


yeah, Aug 1st...seems early to us, too sm
we are working towards year round school.  They will have a week off a month this school term. I don't like it, but I wasn't asked!
I work really early and I already got
my lines done for the day.
