hurts a lot of the time. Both soft and hard chairs are hard to get out of, depending how long I have been sitting. My sister said about trying an inflatable pool ring, but there aren't many to be found this time of year!

Tailbone hurts
Need advice, my tailbone just started hurting about 2 months ago for no reason, have a Herman Miller Aeron chair that has been the best, but now need some relief for my tailbone. My rearend does not hurt, just my tailbone. Went on line and the good doughnut pillows are tailbone pillows are very expensive, anyone have any cheap home solutions?
tailbone pain
Obus Forme makes a few different types of chair cushions. They're pricy, but worth it in the long run. I bought 2 different types and alternate them. Just Google Obus Forme.

How would you type mid-March? NM

I took a position as IC in March
and first time ever for me also.
I was told by my accountant to take about 20% of my pay each pay period and submit it quartly. I have printed out payment vouchers,
Form 1040-ES which I then send to the US Treasury.
I was told the 20% should be enough. We will see at this end of the year and then I can adjust things as I go.
Good Luck and hope this helps.
I took it in March and passed
Don't sweat the transcription. The CMT Review Guide serves more to scare that provide an accurate representation of the transcription portion, IMO.
Just take it when you are ready. If you don't have the 2 years' experience yet, you will benefit from taking the RMT first because it is very similar in format. The RMT is far less intimidating than the CMT before you actually sit down to take the test.
It's very reassuring that you can receive the results immediately. Heck, even nursing boards that are all multiple choice questions don't give you an immediate answer.
Good luck!
I'll let you know in March
The doctors that I work for are turning to EMR, but not necessarily all the doctors yet. There's a meeting scheduled with the transcriptionsts to learn our fate. They originally told us that they would still need us in some capacity so I'm just waiting to see what happens. I do have p.r.n. jobs lined up in case I do lose my job.
I had a hysterectomy last March. It took me about 3 weeks actually to
want to be out of bed or off the couch. Even then I took long breaks and rested. One friend took 12 weeks before she ever went back to work part-time. It's different for each person. Just give yourself time. You need to heal and that means that your body needs to rest.
It was one year for me on March 13th...sm
I've quit for a couple years each time I had my children, but always went back. This time I'm never going back and find it disgusting.
I used Zoloft for three months and lorazepam for a month to quit. My PCP worked with me on this because I didn't feel I could do it on my own. I had used Wellbutrin in the past and it didn't work. I have never typed or heard of this combination used, but it really was easy and I'm not kidding. I found it so easy I got my brother-in-law to quit using the same combination and he is now almost a year out.
My PCP wanted to be sure I didn't replace one addiction with another, so the lorazepam was only used very sparingly, but when I felt that tension in my head and wanted a cigarette this worked.
Some day I'll be 20 years out and will have added years to my life like you.
Great job.
I have been working at home 4 years in March...
I worked in an office for 4 years before that...prefer being at home by far...
I made a whole $12K this year, granted when my daughter got cancer in March - sm
my income took a big hit as I went "on leave" from my FT job, and cut back on my PT job drastically. I did not get back to working a more normal schedule until October. I now work 2 PT jobs. So had I not had a 6 month hit in the pocket book I expect I would have made over $20K this year, not a fortune. My goal for 2006 is $24K, and as I am going to try my best to "work smart", I should be able to acheive that, staying disciplined is the key, of which I am sorely lacking. I am lucky that I don't have to live on this though, I'd be starving. As it is I have to play catch up on a lot of bills since I lost 6+ months of income, not fun.
steps to becoming an IC
Just need someone to tell me the steps that need to be taken to become an IC. I would love to have more flexibility in my schedule/hours than a national company can give. I have a few people who have found out that I do transcription and seem interested if I would work for them on the side. I would love to, but don't know how to get this going. Do I need a business license? If someone can either tell me what steps to take or where do I find just plain, straightforward information, I would appreciate it.
steps......and usually remember...say R U....sm
in your 50s? This happens in our late 40s and 50s.....*L* - I call them brain *_arts*........don't know if you can type the word for flatulence *lol*
Steps for control T.
When using control/T to close out the Control/S document, you must make sure the Control/S document is fully open and that it is the document on top. The document you see should have "read only" next to the patient's name. If it is not on top, control/T will close out everything.
Here are the steps: When you open Control/S, pull up the doc you want to review, etc., it comes up first. When you go back to the document you're transcribing, the Control/S document goes behind your working document. When you minimize your working document to Control/T the viewing document, it will go to a split window, and then you have to make sure the reviewing document is on top before you Control/T. I hope this makes sense--You can't Control/T with a split window or both documents showing at the same time. You must click on the read only document to open it to view so there is no split screen and the only document you see is the read only document. Otherwise, you close out both documents.
Follow these steps....
You have 3 keys at the top of your C-phone, press the one on the far left with PROGM above it. Then press KEYS (far left button also). Select progm key comes up, press the button you are wanting to change (the one causing you to disconnect). It then will ask you if you want to revise, answer yes. Then press the multiplication sign X on the far right of your keypad (also labeled select). Then press the Stop button located on the bottom section of your C-phone. This is what works for me, hopefully this will help you too.
That's too many steps in a dialog box.
Word 2003 has a List Number style already formatted at the left margin that you can assign a keyboard shortcut to, then switch back to your default paragraph style after your list with Ctrl + Q.
Or you can turn on automatic numbering in the AutoCorrect/AutoFormat as You Type tab. Type your 1 and period and auto numbering starts. You'll get the auto indent, but you can hit Alt + Shift + left arrow to move the list to the left margin. You can shorten that shortcut by assigning something like Alt+L to the OutlinePromote command in the customize keyboard dialog box under all commands.
correct - they took global steps and is why they
since they are NO LONGER DEALING WITH ONLY AMERICAN MTs, their name is no longer AAMT -
Please recognize this. Thank you.
You need two macros. Just record the steps
to change to higher level, and the second one to change it back. Be sure to assign shortcut keys to each.
Fell sorry.....
BRAVO!!!!!!
I kind of fell into it
It's for a local insurance company. I have a friend who works there, and the service that they used was charging a lot. She knew I was looking for a part-time job to supplement my income (at that time I was working out of the home as a legal secretary). We started out working on it together, and then she stopped and I do all the tapes now. It's good money. I've been doing it for about 7 years.
Thanks for the link. Interesting. Looks like they skipped a couple of steps. (nm)

I am taking baby steps to achieving the life I want.
Reducing food intake and increasing exercise slowly. Turning a hobby into a potential career. Yeah, right! Who am I kidding?
Does anyone like the new Healthgrade website after they upgraded - it only takes 4 or 5 steps to

Do away with automatic numbered list. See inside steps.
Tools, Autocorrect, AutoFormat as you Type, uncheck Automatic Numbered Lists.
Tell us the exact steps you are taking to create your AutoText. sm
How many letters are you assigning to the shortcut name? You can't have 5 entries with the same name. Every name has to be unique. For example, if you assign abcde to an entry name, then create another entry with abcde as the name, Word will not know which name you want and you will get nothing.
Also go to Tools/Templates and Add-ins and tell us what shows up there. Some add-ins block Word from saving anything to the normal.dot (like Adobe, Norton, and Winfax Pro). Are you in fact running any of those programs? Some add-ins don't show in that window and you need to check for what's called COM add-ins.
you can try a test to see if your normal.dot is corrupt. Close Word and Outlook if you use that. Search for the normal.dot and right-click the file in the search window and rename the file to normal.old. Open Word and try to create an AutoText. Does it save now? If it does, you can use the Organizer to transfer your other customizations to the new normal.dot and then delete the old one. If it still doesn't work, delete the new normal.dot and change the name back on the old one.
How dumb are you? Evidently you fell from somewhere.

Maybe it was where you post fell .. I thought
that you thought I was telling you that.
OH WELL I'M CONFUSED NOW. ROFL
I meant no harm or bother to anyone.
My babies are in bed. I'm going there, too. I think I'll just stay quiet for a while.
My husband fell back on ME. SM
He had his own auto repair business and I bought his parts half the time.
If a pill causes an abrasion while going down, it can fell like it is still there. nm

I got the same email regarding pay....ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR
You have got to be kidding me!!
I do the same thing! I have fell asleep at ...sm
my keyboard before. It sucks trying to wake yourself up. I haven't found anything really that helps me that much.
Just as above, the physician said the patient fell
and ordered CT scan and the doctor absolutely checking for confusion. The doctor repeated and I listened back to it, intensely. That was said, VR picked it up and how would a newbie know (brain, confusion, could be in some cases, right) it was contusion they were looking for? I did, changed and finally the physician said the correct word, contusion. I also have the VR putting in Dr. Pannicus and the like. Yep, you need to know what things mean, not just typing in words.
okay, thanks, I thought it was always Fri when it fell on a weekend...

When you fall down a flight of steps and announce, "I have eccymosis over the lateral malleolus.&
Enclosed are the steps involved, my point of view only. Very long post. sm
1. Make sure you have the qualifications. If you have EXCELLENT spelling and grammer skills, good typing skills, complete attention to the smallest details, and willingness to work HARD and learn constantly, you may have what it takes.
2. Realize that you will not learn this career in 1-2 years. That is a good beginning, but then you will have an "apprenticeship" period. This runs anywhere from 1-3 years, depending on the job you get, the training available there, and your ability to branch out and absorb a constantly changing field.
3. Do your homework on the training schools. Some schools offer a program that will actually help you get a job when finished; others have a reputation that will allow you to hire with some companies as a "newbie." Don't waste money on a school that gives you a certificate and sends you out on your own. You may find it difficult to get a job without experience, and can't get experience without a job. I am not recommending a school. DO A LOT OF RESEARCH. Every school has "lucky" graduates, so get a consensus from MANY graduates.
4. If you expect to make a fortune, look elsewhere. You will find "exceptions" that make anywhere from $50 to $100 thousand a year. Most of us with a lot of experience make anywhere from $30 - $50, depending on your speed and stamina. Without stamina, you'll burn out or develop physical problems in a couple of years.
5. VR will never replace transcription. However, it takes a lot of knowledge to "proof" VR reports, and as the machines get smarter, we also must have more experience to catch their errors. I do not foresee us being replaced by machines. It is possible, though, that the wages will not go up because of this, and most MTs will stay on a plateau. Not easy, when cost of living keeps going up, but right now it is a reality, so consider it.
This is my view of the MT field, and its future. I have 18 years experience and have worked on the web for 9, since being outsourced from a hospital. It's a rough field, but not impossible, and I'm happy with it. I only have 10 years to go, though. I'm not sure I would start it now, if I were younger. You have to have a lot of determination. Good luck to you.

DH refuses to watch it again- says we fell for all the hype - about (sm)
the show being a "classic" . People on we barely knew. We kept waiting for it to get "good". Then the ending!!!!
Holy cow is right. Is he dead??
Bahaha! Oops. I fell out of my chair.
You're not really a brunette, are you?
Thanks for the giggle.
Mother fell and broke hip Sat, sent home by ER doctor
who said it was only bruised. Hospital calls Tuesday afternoon and says she actually had a broken hip and needed surgery. In the 3 days before the nursing home found out it was broken, she fell again. Has anyone ever heard of the radiology dept taking 3 days to read films? It was Memorial Day weekend, but even so I don't think it should have taken so long.
So true, when I worked inhouse, the doc fell asleep
while dictating and actually continued to dictate while asleep "we packed the leg wound with BBQ sauce and grilled it". The service typed it as such and flagged it. Boy, was doc ever embarrassed. His fault for doing 50 charts at a pop.
EditScript/Escription - Fell in love with it the first time I used it

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.
Wear scrubs, they're comfortable and you fell like you getting dressed for work See message.
Go to a local scrub shop, you can get a big bag full for about 100 bucks
Monkey bars aren't the problem. I never once fell off. Neither did my brother. Kids need to climb
