I have bifocal contact lenses...

In Reply to: Anyone that would normally wear bifocals - me
I also have the no-line glasses, but don't like to wear them, you always have to be looking in just the right spot to focus. With the contacts, both lenses are evenly distributed around the lens, therefore, no matter where you are looking, far or near, you have just the right focus. Much easier on me. I say go for them!! You won't regret it.

Does anyone wear bifocal contact lenses?
I am considering trying them out and would like to hear others' experiences with them. Currently, I alternate between regular contacts and no-line bifocal glasses. How do your bifocal contact lenses work with MT work (staring at a computer screen for hours)? Thanks!
Contact lenses ? sm
 I got new contacts a couple months ago and am having trouble with them collapsing after a week or two of wear, making it really hard to get them in. I am beginning to believe they are making them softer so that we have to replace them more often. TIA
Contact lenses
If you take them out at night they will last forever. You shouldn't sleep with them in because the contact lens blocks the exchange of oxygen with your cornea. And besides, if you take them out, they are fresh and feel great in the morning when you put them in.
Need advice on contact lenses for astigmatism. I have tried different soft contacts but
I can't seem to find a soft contact lens that works for my astigmatism that I can wear all day without going blurry on me all the time. I have worn gas permeables in the past, but they are not comfortable anymore either. Any contact lens wearers out there with astigmatism that have found something that works? Even Accuvue Advantage for Astigmatism did not work. Help!
Bifocal contacts
I wear the Bausch and Lomb Soflens and do not have a problem using them with a laptop either -- there are many brands out there and there are also monovision lenses, where one lens is used for disance and one for close up.
When I was fitted recently, my eye doctor tried me with a couple of different brands and felt the Bausch and Lomb was the best lens for me, so really, it all depends on your particular prescription etc.
Hope this helps
Bifocal contacts
I have almost given up on bifocal contact lenses, and only wear them in the evenings if I'm going to a restaurant so I can properly focus on the people sitting across from me. I find them extremely difficult to put in because they are so thin and fold over themselves, and I don't like the distance vision I lose. I find it just easier now to wear my regular contact lenses and use a pair of reading glasses over the top of them. However, to be frank, on most days I just wear my glasses (progressive lenses) when I'm transcribing.
try the multifocal lenses
I started wearing bifocals a few years ago and discovered that I could not transcribe with them on, so my eye doctor suggested my contacts with reading glasses which worked really well for a few years. I had 3 pairs of reading glasses that I got in a pack from Sam's for $12. A few months ago, I had my annual exam and he asked me if I wanted to try the new multifocal contact lenses, which are for people with my type of vision--needing bifocals and help with closeup work and distance vision. Well, he tried me in the Soflens contact lenses. I tell you what, they are awesome!! He did say that not everyone likes them or can wear them, so see if you can get a trial pair of these and give youself a few days to get used to them. I love mine. I can read in bed now without my glasses, I can see to drive, I can see to write a check, I can read my grocery list without pulling out reading glasses or squinting at labels in the store, AND I can work with no problems at all. Accuvue makes them and so does Soflens, but he preferred Solflens in the multifocal. Good Luck!!
I wear bifocal contacts and I love them
The only thing is that you have to decide which degree of a trade-off you are comfortable with because for my contacts to help me see up-close better, I have to give up some distance vision.
I went to a professional sporting event recently and couldn't see the players' numbers from my seat in the stands, where I used to be able to with my regular pre-bifocals contacts.
I would contact the bank, stop the auto debits, contact the lender...
Contact the lender, explain that you stopped the payment because of financial difficulty. Ask if they have a hardship plan. You probably have a 20-day grace period on your loan payment, (they report to credit bureaus when 30 days late) and you probably also have a grace period on your insurance. In the meantime within those 20 days of grace, FIND A WAY to make some cash. It seems, at least from my experience, that when you get behind, it is almost impossible to catch up. If you use next month's check to pay last month's bills, you never get out of the hole. I've been in that downward spiral and I understand what you're going through. I've sold things on Ebay, consigned clothing at consignment stores, and worked two jobs just to stay afloat at times. Every little bit helps. It can be done. But don't WAIT, call them today!!
You mentioned the IRS. Try calling the Taxpayer Advocate's Service toll free at 1-877-777-4778. They are independent from the IRS and their function is to help solve IRS problems that cannot be solved through normal channels.
Did anyone contact HR at MQ yet?
If anyone has yet contacted HR at MQ, please post underneath what was said to you. 
Be sure to contact the doc and tell him! nm

How can we contact you?
There is quite a bit of due diligence required if you are planning to seel a business. The "typical" selling price of a business is 3 years revenue, but that is also based very strongly on its profitability, but I do have a group of independent MTs who may be interested.
I would contact that QA or his/her
supervisor and ask them to relisten.
I would contact...
the person that makes this program. I have had good customer service from him. It s/l something might not be set up correctly perhaps but Vann Joe would probably give you some help/tips if you asked. He has always been very helpful when I have asked questions regarding his products.
I have been using MP Count for quite some time for counting by gross line, and find it quite accurate.
HTH some.
contact me
I would like to discuss this with you, please contact me at my email address.
Thanks
Nothing that big, he was not there when I tried to contact
about it, sent instant message. it was report that always goes under STAT and I think had to let someone read over some blanks. He contacted me that night and we talked about it and I got it ok but then I had follow up wrist slapping the next workday from the higher up than him. What I was wanting to know does this go on with others, first 1 boss, then another boss- felt like tattling in grammer school with this.
I came in contact with them (sm)
And they gave me the simplest *test* which was basically not even medical dictation, and they tell you that they will *train* you and then provide you with a job, but first you have to buy *their* software. Fortunately I did not fall for their scam, but others have said that after your *training* and they test you, you never really get good enough for placement. Please believe the other posters. It is a huge scam.
Get rid of them (and if you pay well, contact me! LOL) nm

I would contact whoever is over you....sm
And explain to them and let them see who is right and who is wrong. Some QAers may need to be corrected.
You can also contact (sm)
AccuSTAT, Inc. in Wisconsin. They posted an add several days ago on the Job Seeker's Board for an ER transcriptionist. They appear to have a really good reputation.
Thanks I will contact them...
Does anyone know if it also works with Emdat Inscribe then?
You really need to contact your sm
prosecutor's fraud unit and see how they suggest you proceed. You really need to be careful in posting her name and address because since you are an IC and she the "debtor" you may be putting your self at the very least in violating debt collection laws - penalties are not cheap. I believe you posted this a few weeks ago, right? Did you send that formal demand with return receipt giving her a deadline to pay? That's the first thing they (authorities) will ask for. $16k plus is a HUGE chunk of change. I really think you will need to resort to legal matters to collect, and probably by judgment. I know it's frustrating, but posting her name and address on the internet is liable to cost you much more than the $16K.
Can someone please tell me how to contact IRS...
anonymously to report an MTSO who is dictatorial in setting schedule and pay? I'm literally SICK of this and I am going to DO something instead of complaining about it. Maybe if just one individual does something about these cheapo, demanding MTSOs, it will stop after time. Thanks for the info!

Friendly HHS contact
I was wondering if anyone had the name and number or E-mail address of a friendly person at the Department of Health and Human Services? I have a couple quick short questions concerning the HIPAA regulations.
Thanks.
There's 2. Got the contact name or the state? nm

Does she have family you can contact?
I had a former coworker say something completely bizarre to me one day. It turned out she had an undiagnosed brain tumor and she passed away soon after. Saying things completely out of context can be signs of other neurological problems, early dementia, stroke. I have no first-hand experience with bipolar, though.
No pay/no contact/no work
Would it be appropriate to directly contact the accounts on which you work and speak to them directly about your situation? Or is that not kosher?
Wouldn't it be best to contact your
tax preparer? Like everyone, you have unique finances and a general answer here may not apply to your specific situation.
Why don't you contact an authority? Like your
It is amazing to see such serious questions posed here.
JMO
Contact your phone co., they may have some

12121212 can you contact me...(sm)
Click on "reply by email." I would like to talk to you about MT hospital work in Memphis area. I am new to the field and would like to learn more about it in our area. Thanks!
I was wondering if you kept in contact. You see
how the families say that sometimes and wonder if in fact they do.
Did they get a divorce because of the show? That would be a shame.
Also contact United Way
We were in a similar, very difficult situation a few years back. In desperation I called the United Way and they matched my family up with a company in our area that went out and shopped for my 4 kids. They bought everything on the list and even wrapped the gifts before delivering them. They left an envelope for me and my hubby with a $100 bill, a gift certificate for a Honey Baked ham and a grocery gift card. When I did my Christmas shopping at the store, they scanned the gift card - it was for $100! I started crying right in the store. I will never forget those angels on earth who saved Christmas for my kids and saved my faith in humanity. And, by the way, it is not too late! I didn't know help was available to people in trouble, so didn't call until 5 days before Christmas! They did all of this for us in just 5 days! Tell your friend there are many who have been where she is right now and she will get through it. There are many, many wonderful agencies and people who will help you, she just has to ask. I pray that your friend will get the help she needs.
Contact AAMT
I encourage you to contact AAMT and ask that your exam be reviewed. I do not know if that is possible or if they have a policy concerning same, but ask anyway.
I am so sorry that you had to experience "family stress" during exam time.
If you have a contact number, and you really
want the job, you may want to try that avenue. You can try to come off on the phone like you were just following up and being quite honest about it state that you intent is to be of bother, but you would love to join their team and help with the "new" account. Sometimes I think the companies looking get so involved with recruiting that they can get lost in that for a time. If it is clinic work, I have noticed that pretty much weekends do not really count, so I would try to stick to Monday-Friday as far as communications with them. Acute care accounts are a little different, I think, in that regard, as they are more apt to communicate on weekends since they usually require staffing as such. I hope this makes sense. Good luck in your endeavors.
contact expressscribe..sm
a lot of these programs were not ready for Vista yet. I would have waited at least a year before buying Vista due to just that reason. Personally maybe you should have found out of ExpressScribe was compatible with Vista prior to buying the laptop with it preinstalled. It would have saved a lot of hassle.
I would if you have contact number.
contact other MTs in your area to see if they need (sm)
Vacation coverage, etc. I have done this and actually acquired an account from someone who was retiring. One thing I can recommend besides *pounding the pavement* is just get yourself out there by maybe joining your local Women in Business or Chamber of Commerce or something in your area. Or any hospital functions, fundraisers, fairs, etc. You don't have to go with your whole resume or brochures in hand. Just get yourself out there with an open mind and you never know what might happen.
Also, when reading your local newspaper keep an eye out for announcements about doctors joining clinics, opening practices, etc. Also my paper has a *People in Business* section. Check it out.
But other than that, 18+ years is a lot of experience and since you are very good, well I cannot imagine any company turning you away for whatever schedule you wanted.
Contact Mr. Cummins......
at Twenty-First Century Research in San Diego at 1-800-563-5418. He has a lot of used PC-Dart stuff, and I think still sells refurbished units. I sent him my old TTU, along with dictation cards, about a year ago. He is your best bet for problems with PC-Dart. Good luck!!
If you are an employee you can contact
the Labor Board. You can send company a certified letter requesting payment within 10 days. You can file a complaint with the BBB and/or the attorney general.
You need to contact US Immigration (sm)
I would not do anything before you find out if it is okay first. You could jeapordize your case. The US Immigration has a 1-800 number you can call. Also, you could ask an attorney.
I did contact my QA supervisor and
she states that she has sent an email to all of QA to make them aware. But that has been said before and each QA person continues to do something different.
Did you contact McAfee??? They may
be able to help.
ICs in contact with others MTs from the same company
Do any ICs working for a company have the ability to speak with other MTs at the same company? I thought if I could just talk to other MTs working on the same account as me, I would have a better understanding as to whether or not the account is difficult or if I just need more experience.
Did you contact your supervisor?
I was on a particularly difficult account when I started with my company. I asked my supervisor if I could IM other people working on the account and she passed the word around. I received e-mail addresses and IMs.
It says contact elemedia ...sm
and gives a website. When I go on there it says the page is not available anymore. Everytime I try to open a file this is what it says. I am so fustrated.

Contact the facility...
That's the best thing to do. I don't think they want people posting that type of information here.
No the hospitals do not. Would you think twice if your contact was *** from SM
America Types? **** has the toll free number of 866 and his address is Oklahoma City, OK (only an example of course). Your top priority is the fact that they only charge .08 per line when your local hometown Transcriptionist or service charges .10 or more per line. Who would you choose..c'mon people, these companies are scoundrels and need to be stopped.
