The doc says,"the debridement contained subcutaneous and healthy necrotic tissue." Say, what? Healthy necrotic tissue?

Corrective Eye Surgery Question
Who has had RK and LASIK? I could save for a few years and pay for the LASIK or I could get the RK done and it would cost me a whole $10, my insurance pays the rest. My sister says no way, RK isn't good enough. I've talked to several people who have had RK and they love it, had no problems. I don't know as many who have had LASIK but the few I do were happy as well. What's the difference and any advice on which way to go? TIA!
Addendum
Dr. G has changed his mind and would now like to adopt Dr. D's style.
ADDENDUM.....sm
and what that equates to....I work Friday, Saturday, Sunday for MQ - so I worked the entire last 2 weekends and I'm availing myself today also due to lack of private work. *S*
addendum...
Basically, the way I understand it, all of your expenses, whether equipment, supplies, utilities, insurance, dues, etc. will be subject to the 2% rule, only that amount over 2% of your adjusted gross.
Addendum to my above post--sm
I also forgot to mention another suggestion for getting better line counts would be staying off this board...and I am sorry to say that, but it takes a lot of time to come on this board, read any new posts, answer the ones we want to answer, and then go back to work. I see some people on here an awful lot all through the day and I really wonder how they get any work done. I have to limit myself too, sometimes. Just a thought.
addendum to insurance q...
Sorry when I mentioned the low-key $50K "health insurance" in my last post under insurance Q...I meant to say $50,000 life insurance...that is I meant to say you might want to try applying for life insurance before applying for health insurance.
addendum to my answer
by federal I mean federal withholding and self employment taxes - the FICA and MedFICA .
addendum to my op -- poll
A question but now with the economy being what is is how many "significant others/spouses" now work M-F? If they do, on weekends, they are probably trying to do things around the house, lawn care, fixing things and so on -- so while they are doing that, what is wrong with an MT trying to put a few hours in on a Saturday or Sunday when they work for a service doing acute care? Only reason I ask is that my other half is off during the week, but I still manage to try to put in 3-4 hours in even on my "days off".
addendum--here's the link

Addendum: But ya'll go ahead! :)

addendum: chilly = 10 degrees at 7 a.m.

Addendum: Batteries not included.
OMG... I feel even better now. I was looking at the back of the box and it said you need a AAA battery. Wow... I thought the sound was great before --- that was without the battery which I did not even notice because of the design of the headphones. Now, for the first time in 9 years working for MQ I am proud to say that I had to turn the volume DOWN. Too loud...hurt my ears...ooww. LOL Glad I was able to exchange my MQ stock for something useful... a pack of 2 AAA batteries for my new headphones.... Life is good.
Sort of funny addendum to above
I do some transcription for this hospital, and they go on and on in their reports, but anytime we have ever been there, it seems they don't have much interaction with the patient. Lol ... You can help but wonder about that!
addendum: I think Moderator Cher is one of the
nicest, fairest and most dedicated.
Addendum- that should have been sour grapes, not green!

Addendum: As well as your fund of medical terminology knowledge.
An addendum, minor corrections are one thing - being a slob dictator who consistently cannot put his

No thanks.

I smell a huge rat
Is your husband up to no-good with this loser? First of all any "my baby's daddy" situation has scumbag written all over it. Second of all, if your husband doesn't mind being used by this lazy bum for a free place to live, he has to be getting something out of the bargain. I'd be doing some serious checking around if I were you.
Meanwhile, you're right to keep this piece of crap away from your kids. If your husband likes him so much let him live with this waste of oxygen alone.
Good luck.
Sadly, nothing gets cig smell out of anything. It
always sneaks back. I have been burned 3 times out of 4 on E-Bay with MT stuff. I am a huge buyer and seller, and its the only area I've not been happy with, so I'd rather buy new now than risk it. Hopefully it will work. One thing I have tried is sealing whatever it is up in a bag for as long as possible, or as frequently as possible, with a Outdoor Fresh Scent Bounce or two in the sealed bag with the item. Over time the Bounces absorb some of the cig smell. But it would be a hassle undoing a C-phone every day and bagging it. Sorry - that smell makes me sick, too, and I used to smoke! Good luck.
do I smell a newbie/cherrypicker?
You go over seas, learn medicine in conjunction with a new language fluently, then tell us how easy it is? These ESLs at least make an effort to slow down and be understood, more than I can say for the Americans. Besides, it is our job, being transcriptionists, to decipher these accents, research, and come up with the correct terminology for the report. Would you like mister rogers to dictate all of them? Come on, you can handle it!
Me too, how funny! It does smell good!

I smell a rat. If it were me, I would consider this the first red flag and be on the lookout
I smell a dead cat on the line.... so to say.
Such as in "another woman."
trolls smell rooty

Vinegar also takes smell out. sm
I always use vinegar when I need to get a smell out.
Whenever I burn popcorn in the microwave, I fill a coffee cup full of vinegar and set it in the microwave. It always takes the smell out.
I've steam cleaned pet soil out of my carpet using vinegar and baking soda, and the odor always goes away.
I smell a rat - I mean bully. Same thing.:)
OP,
I agree with Katz. No need to use profanity however. Don't risk your dignity and self-respect by stooping to her level. Yet, I agree with everything else, like telling her to shut up in a nice way -- let her know you are working and you suggest she does the same. She feels threatened obviously, so don't make it easy for her by quitting which is probably what she wants. I don't think the boss wants you to quit, however. It sounds like she just wants to skip out on the pay increase and manipulate the situation to her benefit (according to what you have said so far).
As for Ms. Obnoxious, sounds like she has figured out the only one she needs to get along with is the boss. And if she can get you to leave, then more work and job security for her. It's an awful mess of a situation you are in. I don't tolerate bullies and neither should you, and that is exactly what she sounds like -- a bully. You will have to give her the silent treatment instead of her giving you the silent treatment and even if she does give you the silent treatment, good. It doesn't sound like she has anything worthy to say anyway. In the meantime, if you want to be there for any reason -- to pay off a debt, to go back to school, to gain more experience before leaving, etc. -- then stay as long as you want. When you are ready, find the new job, test it out, then make the switch at your own pace. With your typing speed, I don't doubt you will be able to find something better. Just don't make it easy for anyone by quitting.
You are all that matters, especially on a job. Workers are not your friend. You have to find that outside of the workplace. I don't think talking to either one of them is worth anything. They already know they are in the wrong.
Best of luck to you.

moldy smell in carpet
I had the same thing and ended up finally tearing up the whole carpet and pad, then installing a wood laminate floor. It was expensive, but I had tried EVERYTHING, to no avail. Baking soda and vinegar are excellent remedies, IF the mold hasn't seeped into the pad. If it has, there is virtually nothing that will remove the smell altogether. We hadn't noticed the mold smell when we looked at the house. (The carpet had just been freshly shampooed to show the house.) It was after we bought it and moved in that we noticed it. Before my husband installed the wood laminate floor, we bleached the entire concrete slab, as the mold had also seeped in to the concrete. Bleach did the job on that. Good luck. :)
Wake up and smell the roses and not
alcohol breath - ewwww
well wake up and smell the coffee...
Ever since managed care came into being here, the doctors have been moaning and groaning...and less and less folks are actually entering the medical field today.....becauise nobody is earning the money they were 15-20 plus years ago.....There is a huge shortage of nurses also in this country - it's not profitable enough for anyone today...not like it used to be prior to managed care.....
I have been treated overseas and it IS better.....and I recently read an article that folks here, the elderly, are now relocating to India for long-term care at home....it's nearly free over there....if I ever find that article, I will repost here.....the couple the article was about are in their 80s and they get all their rxs, aides in the home (home health care), and treatment for a miniscule amount compared to here......the article showed pictures too.....all nice and clean and very efficient looking. Plus, an added benefit is they are just more respectful of the elderly overseas.....in general and everywhere.....whether it be Europe or Asia.....while here, all they seem to be interested in in this country is YOUTH - a youth-oriented society it has been for a couple of generations now.
You *think* we have the best......but it might not always be as it seems and think of *down the road* - while less folks are entering the field(s) here - you'll find there will be less and less *the best*.....
Nope, we're everywhere on this board! Can't you smell us??

Candles that smell like fresh cut grass. sm
Gosh, I just love that smell. Anyone know where I can purchase something like that? What a great pick me up for winter. Also, love the clean smell of fresh rain. If I could only bottle that aroma.....
Drench it with vinegar. It won't take the color out, and the smell will be gone.You can also add
baking soda to the vinegar. It works really well.
I use vinegar for anything with a smell. If the trash can starts to smell, I pour vinegar in the bottom and let it sit overnight. Then I just rinse it out in the morning.
Also, if you burn popcorn in the microwave, you can pour vinegar into a coffee cup and put it in the microwave. Then let it sit in the microwave overnight. By morning, the smell will be gone.
Anyone have a home remedy for loss of taste/smell?
This sinus cold has been dragging on for nearly 2 weeks now..going on day 5 of absolutely no sense of taste or smell....soooooooo tired of this
I haven't had taste or smell for over 10 years due to chemotherapy.
Sometimes that's a GOOD thing. Seriously.
home remedy for loss of taste/smell
How about zinc? I was told years ago that this helps with loss of taste and smell.
You need to get the smell/urine enzymes out of the carpet and furniture - sm
The dog will just continue to go back to where he peeed (?) again and again because he smells his scent. I don't think neuturing him will make a difference in that respect. You need to go buy Nature's Miracle Odor & Stain remover. It's pricey but it does the job....I learned this by working at PetsMart years ago and by personal experience. You have to soak whatever it is the dog peeed on though and let it air dry, takes a couple days. You will have to decide on how to "contain" him until the smell is gone, either in a smaller area of the house, outside, whatever. You might want to seriously try training him to go outside. He never learned that he should NOT go inside so that behavior of him going wherever he wants in the house is going to be difficult if not impossible to change. You may want to call a professional legit dog trainer in the area and get their thoughts and suggestions. You are going to have a hard time modifying the dogs behavior, but with a LOT of persistance and consistency you can prevail. Good luck.
Lilacs....ah, the smell of 'em!! Too bad they don't live long. nm

Not MT related - I need suggestions on getting the moldy smell out of carpet.
I have had the carpet professionally cleaned, but there is still that moldy smell from the carpet having gotten wet a while back from an overflowed washer. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can use to make the smell go away? I plan on ripping the carpet up at some point and redoing the floor, but not ready for that yet. In the mean time, now with the hot weather, the moldy smell is really obvious. Help!
i smell fishy? who puts sincerely in their post on here?? NOT ME! nm

Garlic keeps you healthy. You smell so bad sick people avoid you.

Nope, I pretty much hate them all. The smell alone makes me want to hurl.

Thank god for crock pots. 'cept the smell drives you crazy all day.

I'll wait a few days, week or so, no hassle, no BO to smell, it will be worth SM
the extra money.
where are you coming from????
Do you actually think these people are all addicts? These are the common people who could not afford to get out, probably making a lot less an hour than you do. They had no vehicle, and they left their homes with all their possessions in their arms. These people are starving and dying on the streets. It could just as easily have been you or me, and they just want to survive! If it had been a foreign country, help would have been there lickity split.
Are these cks coming
I don't think I'd cash them either. They don't make sense from what I'm reading. Has anybody contacted the law firm handling the class action suit for the MTs to see what's up there and if these are connected?
I'd sure hate to have your be "settling" by you cashing them and you not even know it.
Their day is coming! Nobody
If they were smart they invested what things came to them under
the table for selling us out down the river, because the bottom will
fall out from under them soon enough.
Right now the United States is in such a weakened state, the world is
ready to pounce on us. They are talking in the Trillions we are in debt now as
a nation.
