Grey's Anatomy Encore Tonight

Gray's Anatomy is having an encore tonight at 9:30 on ABC from Sunday's episode.  Great since I think so many people missed all/part of it.

Don't Forget to Watch Grey's Anatomy Tonight!!!!
nm
Good anatomy book is "Gray's Anatomy" (Running Press), soft cover, and inexpensive

Hubby made dinner tonight, yum! see inside
Pad Thai with jasmin rice.  Delicious.
Please tell me I am not alone. Just got a report back where I made a MAJOR mistake. (sm)

I normally try to be very, very careful, but I don't know what happened, but it did.


Feeling a little shaken regarding my skills and attention span right now. 


Please tell me I am not the only one who has made an error and had the client send the report back. 


Once you view it, make sure to reply No to 'save any changes you made?' so the report
s
Proof that it takes only 1 made doctor to gripe about 1 report and out the door you go! nmx

Mostly anatomy
It helps to remember that most of what they dictate is anatomy, and those terms change a lot less than other terminology. However, an anatomical transcription blunder is probably the dumbest kind!
You have to know your anatomy very well, as it (sm)
takes you all over the body as you do Rad. reports. Plus it seems they are always getting new contrast media and imaging machines. BUT! The biggest problem with Radiology, and probably a good reason why they're always looking for Rad-MT's, is that it seems to be a royal pain-in-the-posterior department to work for. No matter what hospital you work for, they want everything YESTERDAY. Lots of crummy dictators, even when ESL is not an issue. They nit-pick about the tiniest differences (not even errors!) that occur in work from one MT to the next. They often change their minds about what they want on an almost-daily basis, and frequently don't bother to inform the MT company's supervisors of these changes. Then they see red when it isn't implemented immediately.

Finally, the reports are usually short, and not great for generating line counts. Some hospitals have different softward for Radiology than for the rest of their depts., and what I've encountered in the past has been ABYSALLY badly written and hard-to-use.

Needless to say, even with many, many years of Rad. experience, I gave it up and won't type it even if it does pay more. The headache of typing Rad. just isn't worth it.
You do not need the 1099. You just need to report the income. Report the company/person ...sm
to the IRS for not sending out the 1099. 
Grey's Anatomy is the Best!!!

LOVE IT!!! 


Gray's Anatomy
I have not watched it yet, I did tape it.  I will watch tonight.  I understand, I am totally addicted to that show.  I never want it to end!
Grey's Anatomy
I am completely obsessed with that show. I just can't believe they're putting it on tonight at the same time as 24! Sorry Jack Bauer, but I'll have to miss you tonight.
Grey's Anatomy

On July 6th, the show is supposed to start on Thursday nights.  Anybody know if this will be reruns or new episodes?  I thought that new episodes wouldn't come on until the fall.  I love that show!!!!


Brush up on your anatomy

Radiology/diagnostic imaging is all about anatomy. If you're going to be transcribing CTs, MRIs, nuclear medicine studies, or PET CTs, go online and look up contrast material and radiopharmaceuticals. The most commonly used ones for CTs are Omnipaque and Visipaque, and gadolinium for MRIs, although they may give a brand name for gadolinium such as OptiRay or OptiMARK. There are dozens of radiopharmaceuticals, however. But it's unlikely they would test you on more than one nuclear medicine or PET study.


Good luck!


wikipedia for anatomy
Wikipedia has images and diagrams from Gray's Anatomy and links to related body parts.
Watching Grey's Anatomy and never
saw it before.   I couldn't tell if they were daydreaming, going back or going forward.   I missed a couple of seconds when the phone rang and the Asian girl who was pregnant is in the hospital and the doctor is cuddling her.  Did she miscarry? 
If so i bet they are a crappy MT. You have to KNOW anatomy to be good.
;P
Grey's Anatomy last night

Was anyone else freaking out at the end of that show? I swear..I hate when I get so involved in a show like this.  I am so into the Denny story line. I wish George would have rushed Izzie and stopped her. I can't believe she would do what she's doing.  


Grey's Anatomy last week
I had set my VCR to tape Grey's Anatomy last Thursday b/c I thought they were starting a new season; however, my tape was full and it didn't tape!  I was on the edge of my seat the last episode and didn't want to miss the first one this season.  Somebody please tell me it was a rerun.  If not, can anyone catch me up on what I missed?????  Thanks a million!
I love Grey's Anatomy....sm

but have some questions about ER...I turned it on last week, just because Grey's was over and I wasn't quite ready to go to bed.  When did Abby and Luca get back together and what happend to Carrie's limp?  Haven't watched it in a very long time after being very loyal.


Have a great weekend, all!


I charge the same amount for a "normal" report as for any other report.
You still have to listen to the dictation and change anything that's different.  I had one woman try to pull this on me.  She'd dictate, "Just pull up my normal, but change this, change that, switch that around, move that, add this, delete that, and change the other."  Then she'd only want to pay me what equated to $.03 per line.  She wanted 1:1 on her dictation to transcription ratios.  I told her to take her cheap account down the road because I'm worth more than that.
i made $15/hr before and didn't stay long because i made so much more on production. sm
that was with full benes too. i wouldn't do it for less than $20, but i think even with $20, i'd want benes. are you in-house?
Well, if MTs knew their anatomy and physiology, it might help with stuipidity errors.
Too many MTs are just plain out idiots who think they know a word but don't.

give me a break!
Grey's anatomy finale recap comments

Denny died after his transplant,  embolism.  Alec was very kind and nice to Izzie afterward.  Meredith and Derek had some steamy intimate moments at the end.   Finn seems very taken with Meredith but it will probably do him no good.   The prom part seemed rather far fetched.    Burke and Christina were hand in  hand near the end of show. His surgical ability will probably return, after all what would Grey's be without him??    George and the lady orthopod are becoming closer.   Next season should be interesting indeed.  This show is my very favorite series, also like ER but Grey's is better.  


Must watch Grey's Anatomy and Boston Legal. sm
Stop whatever I am doing or get home in time to watch these two shows. Don't watch much other TV but these two and sports.

Waiting for Stanley Cup playoffs to start and then Football season!
Brush up on anatomy, so you can follow along with what they're talking about. NM

Either online or hardcopy anatomy reference, like Gray's. (nm)

You teach your 3 y/o daughter abdominal anatomy on the chart in the doc's ofc while waiting...nm

Oh, a report just came in. A report actually just slid in, can you believe it. Hip Hip Hooray. I

had better get that sucker typed before it gets out of ONE MINUTE TAT.


Well I just finished watching Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. How that for an evening. N
:
I love Grey's Anatomy - the only show I watch faithfully. Awesome!
Can't tell you how much I love that show. Every Sunday can't wait until it comes on!

Dr. Burke and the "asian" intern are lovers.
If you are careful with putting the correct report in the correct report shell and patient, you will
not have any problems. I only take away this option when someone is careless. There can be NO room for error on this. One mistake can be very serious. Many do it well though, so just double check and you will be fine.

I don't know how it made such a small diff in your invoice... made a $100 diff in mine! (sm)

If it were only adding up to three bucks, I wouldn't sweat it. $100? Yeah, that's baseball registration for my son for this year. I am not giving tabs, returns, etc. away free when it adds up to that much difference!  Why should I charge less for a Return than I would for a"K"?


 


 


No, just trying it tonight. sm
Hope it goes okay, I have never tried it.  It was on a special about Elvis' favorite foods.  I read the reviews and they said the cake was very rich. 
I think Ace is gone tonight
Taylor was WONDERFUL last night! I really enjoyed his performance. I was not thrilled with Katherine or Paris. I thought Bucky, Kelly, and Elliot did really well. I did not like Chris' song last night, but not sure if it was just the song I didn't like or the way he did it. So, all in all I would have to say that the bottom three will be Ace, Paris, and Katherine. Ace will be the one leaving in my opinion.
What's for supper tonight? nm

Ladies, what is on for din din tonight?????

beef tenderloin, mushroom gravy, noodles, salad and some fruit.  Then, a whole pot coffee while I work.


What's for dinner tonight?
I'm going to make three types of maki-sushi and wontons because I have salmon, shrimp and tun in there to use up.  I just love messing with the little bamboo sushi mat.  It's so cute!  LOL
dinner tonight
With fresh tomatoes and peppers abounding in this area, I have made some salsa and we are having chicken burritos with fresh salsa and fresh peaches.  Not much work and lots of good eating.
What's for dinner tonight?
Leftovers here.  I am not cooking.  I've got homemade cheeseburger pizza, chipotle grilled chicken, biscuits and sausage gravy, tacos, soup, sandwiches and salad that need to be eaten up.
Prayers will be said tonight!

Did you see the news tonight?

Hundreds of children were killed, thousands and thousands have died in total they say. I am the mother of three children and watching those pictures on TV of those little lives lost is very disturbing, extremely saddening, and is a very emotional thing to watch or to try to even understand the magnitude of such losses for everyone involved or to make any sense of it all.


If you, by reading my post, misunderstood my post, I wholeheartedly appologize. It was not my intention to have a "hidden agenda" in my post. It was merely a question.


Dinner tonight
Meat loaf, mashed potatoes and brown gravy, creamed corn, broccoli/cauliflower salad and Kentucky Derby Pie for dessert.  I love to cook.

I was privileged to be a guest at the first night of Hanukkah last year, and we had latkes and doughnuts, it was all about the oil.


For the life of me I can't remember what we had the second night.


I was in the Bay Area of SF and I'll swear all I did was eat the whole time I was there. And it was all wonderful. My friend is the best cook I've ever seen.


I'm going to go tonight just because of your post.
I certainly could use a few good laughs.
tonight's dinner
Spaghetti with Italian sausages, garlic bread, and nice fresh, big green salad! Jello with fruit for desert.
What's for supper tonight?
Can't decide what to have.
