she was in Mexico for treatment for cancer, BUT...
From what I heard on GMA a few days ago, the clinic she was in was deplorable. There was even an article about it on the Watchdog website, AND the man running the clinic was NOT a doctor. So, what does that say about the person or persons who took this woman there for treatment?
TMJ treatment
I have had TMJ for years. I had an appliance that I wore for years, and it helped, but was nothing permanent. I don't remember everything I did, but quite a few things. This year we started going to a chiropractor, and one of the things he has worked on is the TMJ issue. He uses some kind of a little tool on the jaw, gives it a click or two, which pushes on the bone at the joint, and this has helped more than anything I have done over the years. My daughter also has TMJ, and this very simple treatment has helped her, too. I don't know if all chiropractors do this or not. He isn't a go-in-and-have-your-back-adjusted-because-it-hurts kind of guy. We started out seeing him three times a week, and are now down to twice a week. He has helped all of us (hubby, daughter, grandson, too), and we consider him a big part of our health care. Knowing what I know now, I'd certainly opt for this very simple treatment before I did surgery, braces, appliances, etc.
QA Treatment
Well said MTheaded.
aggressive treatment sm
You are correct. I hope I never get that QA person!
I wish you the best of luck with your treatment.
I worked with a lady who underwent treatment for a lung mass and she worked up until she got too tired, but bounced back really well once the treatment was over. She came back really strong. There are so many new modalities to treat it. As far as your work, I am wondering if you could try to do as much as possible and find someone in your area to assist when needed. The reason I say this is because this will keep you sort of balanced. You don't want to give up your clients because they will be support as well. You may just want to mention it to someone you trust at the practice, and I think you'll be surprised at how supportive some offices can really be when you are dealing with these types of issues as an independent. Take care and God Bless!
Who is dishing out the bad treatment?
Sometimes I have to remind myself that those persons at these companies who treat/treated me badly are not the owners. The recruiters, QA, trainers, account reps, supervisors, unpleasant person who answers the phone, etc., are usually employees as well. Whenever I have experienced foul treatment at a company, it has come from these other employees. Whenever I have actually had contact with an owner, they have generally been very nice and respectful. Of course, I'm not referring here to pay rates and benefits, just attitude and respect.
I hope you're OK and are looking into treatment.
I had a bit of a cancer scare myself about a month ago on top of losing my job the month before that. The doctor said I'll probably still need surgery but the condition isn't malignant. I'm getting rid of things left and right and trying to figure out what to do with my life now. I even gave up on two of my hobbies because I never have time for them. Well, you take care of yourself. {{{{hugs}}}}
Just Finished Treatment for Sciatica
I was diagnosed with sciatica/piriformis syndrome about a month ago. My physiatrist sent me to physical therapy for Graston therapy and iontophoresis. I was to the point where I had to sleep in my recliner with a heating pad on my hip. Of course, this is the result of sitting for too long......a battle wound common to the medical transcriptionist.
The Graston therapy is pretty painful and you really wonder how it could possibly help. The iontophoresis consisted of a patch with two large circular pads connected by an electrode. The pads are soaked with dexamethasone. The patch is then stuck to the butt for 24 hours. It's painless, except I pulled off a couple of layers of skin when I removed them. I had this done about 5-6 different times over a three-week period. I was also taught some gentle stretches to stretch these muscles, which I haven't been too diligent about doing.
Bottom line is that I completed my PT about two weeks ago and I haven't had any pain since then. I hope you get some relief for your condition. I know how very painful it can be.
or "more agressively treatment"....
that hurts my ears! LOL
Why I deserve more money and better treatment as an MT...
I do NOT transcribe "medial sonoscopy."
Good Lord.
Symptomatic treatment is the only thing you can do, and watch for
x
I'd give the kids the same treatment on their birthday....sm
that should get their attention!
Sounds like you are giving them star treatment!
Good job!
But be sure to drink lots of fluid after a treatment and...
you might get on a good calcium with magnesium supplement to aid in good healthy of your bones. My chiropractic treatments have decreased tremendously since I got on the drinkable kind! Good luck......there's enough pain in the MT world these days without pain in one's body, too!
Supposedly in the US but
here lately they are so bad, just cannot figure out how they could get to this point unless upgrade. I wish someone in charge would edit just for a half day and they would see what I mean.
Supposedly,
we won't have to worry with the formatting according to client specifics for each account, as that is handled automatically after we edit the draft. We will still have to deal with demographics, though.
Because gas is going up like crazy, supposedly going up
30 cents/gallon tomorrow and will continue a steep climb. There are talks of rationing too as production has been severely cut due to Katrina.
Supposedly, her motive was that
Jon Benet had wet the bed. As Patsy said, why would she kill her daughter because she peed in the bed???
You supposedly work as an IC but
you will probably find that most places ask for a certain amount of hrs and/or times to be worked. I think 1 company got in trouble like this, it is supposed to be your hours but just think, what if everyone doing IC work did their own hours, would all the work get done? Probably the hospital did not allow you to set your own hours and I would probably bet you had some kind of schedule there. I do over 3000 lines per day so I do not know what a place asks for per day but 1500 for a week seems like a small amount for a week's worth.
i have telangiectasia on face. laser treatment - very painful...but works
what could be more unsightly that broken veins on the face? well, lucky me, i have them. eveyr few years go in for treatment. electrical zaps to destroy broken blood vessel. Hurts like the dickens though. Can't use pain relievers because it causes constriction of blood vessels, they told me.
Meant to say normal treatment for woman in Amish comnmunity. nm

Cannot believe that show is on A&E. Supposedly he is suppose to

Supposedly, you can run it through the dishwasher. Haven't tried it, though.

Supposedly these are sample dictations.

they supposedly have open positions - and have them for quite a few years - sm
In fact, now they are offering relocation. However, as one who has 18 years experience, with an EXTENSIVE AND EXTREMELY impressive background, I was told that "I did not have enough experience." I was told that I live too far away and that unless I live there I could not be considered. So I happened to be in Arizona, about 4 miles from them, told them I was relocating, and they still told me I did not have enough experience.
By the way, my experience ranges from working for at least 4 of the top 10 hospitals in the US, all kinds of surgical procedures that one very rarely transcribes, transcribing of rare diseases, transcribing for physicians who do clinical trials for European drugs - so I do have quite an extensive background. Apparently just not enough for them.
Over the years, I have known quite a few people to apply for the positions, and all of them have received the same responses - "not enough experience."
If you microwave your sponge for 30 seconds, supposedly
it kills the germs and bacteria. Or use bleach water for cleaning. I don't know, I almost started a fire with my sponge putting it in the microwave for a minute. I only use washcloths and a fresh one every day or after cleaning up meat juice. Commercials like that are preying on the fears of consumers to reap profit.
Lots of people are. Supposedly there is a patch that will
fix issues. Got to MS website for info.
last time I used CS, supposedly you couldn't use expanders
in it but my ShortCut for Windows worked just fine. Also, supposedly there was a way to link InstanText to work in CS too but I don't know how since I didn't use that expander.
As far as the autotext files from Word...no, you can't import them into CS at all. You'll have to make an entirely new list within CS.
And supposedly they are to be fired for that on DQS. I bet they are. They break the report and skip
to the next one on DQS. I get it all the time and I report it and guess what, nothing happens to them but I figure they will hang themselves eventually. They inevitably drop off the account because they really cant do it anyway.
We supposedly have Labor Day, but I've worked it for years.
I do respect those that have serious religious holidays though and only hope that the company that they work for understand.
At first I kicked myself for picking Mondays as one of my scheduled work days, as most of our holidays fall on a Monday. But the kids sleep in because they have no school, so it always works, as I only have a 3 hour shift and I'm done before they get up.
Supposedly more dfficult to find work as coder, than as MT.

Yeah, powdered milk supposedly does the trick - nm

It irritates me no end when a person who supposedly has good sense
to act like a horse's behind. I have tried explaining to an elderly relative I do not put a physician on a pedestel like they do because they are not almight and some downright ugly. The 1 you speak of has no "bedside" manners- the nerve of him! I had a physician tell me 1 time-after giving his word and then rescinding- only your word against mine - I then reminded him of my father's saying- a person is only as good as their word. Erks me big time.
Years ago weight issue supposedly for husband
I was trying to get some life insurance- told the man husband weighed 250 or 280, forget exactly what- was told he was overweight. The insurance man came to my house and then saw, my husband was into wrestling then and the guy said, you're not overweight, you're just big- hubby 6'4 and carried the weight extremely well (may not be the same with you and me though- I am NOT fat, just not tall enough!
Lots of OSI posts on Company board. Supposedly offer low pay. nm

Gotta read the whole thing, says supposedly good sense...
…Did not say they did....supposedly and do 2 different things- right?
Word supposedly counts 10% higher than most "regular" line counting
s
Haven't heard in years. Supposedly making it harder to get money
xx
I found more info. Supposedly he actually died in her hospital room of a heart attack....(sm)
How absolutely awful. It says he was visiting his mom and the new baby. Can you imagine going in the hospital to give birth only to leave with your new baby and your older son not make it out? I can't even comprehend it. I'm sorry for the people who can't see past her craziness but that has to be heartbreaking.
cancer
My husband might be diagnosed with oral cancer. He has had a lump in his cheek for awhile and wasn't really concerned about it until he went to the doctor for a check-up. The doc is sending him to have it looked at more thoroughly. Any words of encouragement or anyone that has gone through this. Thanks
Cancer
Please let me know if you need any moral support and feel free to write me. Read my post on MTStars.

They have a great cancer drug list. I really like oncology except when my doc does a weeks worth of dictations all in one day.
why so much cancer?
Did you know about the atomic bomb testing/nuclear bomb testing done around the world? Well worth researching. I was shocked to find out that it was more than originally led on, well over 700 bombs and I cann't remember if it is just our country or if the numbers were world wide. Then we have companies that polute our water, our land fills, our air... We have paved roads that are giving off gases constantly into the air, not including the vehicles that give off gases continuously, encircling the earth. Do you know about the carcinogens in the plastics that hold bottled water? Chemicals added to food is going to build up in the tissues... Deodorant is not safe, either, and we don't stop there with hygiene chemicals...
cancer sites
I usually use the NIH-National Cancer Institute site. It has listing of clinical trials, types of drugs, different types of cancer treatments. I also depend heavily on the Oncology Word Book by Stedman.
Okay, my experience with cancer
Rather I should say my husband's. He was diagnosed 6 years ago with stage III colorectal cancer. Very advanced out of the bowel wall. They did not think they could cure it, but did say maybe remission. I was floored and in tears always. My hubby was a young man, 50. He had been misdiagnosed by several other doctors and it had reached a very large size by the time it was found. It was found by a doctor I did transcription for. This was God's intervention, because I feel this wonderful doctor was put in our lives to save my husband. He came and asked me several times to do his transcription and I was so busy I turned him down, but he was such a nice man, I finally said okay. Well I was talking to him and I mentioned my husband's problem and he said to bring him into the office. This doctor found the cancer on my husband's first visit. We had a wonderful surgeon and a wonderful oncologist. (By the way, all except the surgeon were ESLs so I love doing ESLs now, have a soft touch for them.)
My husband had a very large cancer. They were very concerned. We sought alternative therapies, in addition to traditional therapies of chemo and radiation. He had a 6-hour surgery, blood transfusions twice, blood clots, DVT, abscesses, etc. It was touch and go, I felt. Like being on a rollercoaster. We prayed and prayed. We spent lots of money on alternative therapies that we researched on the internet. Also he had conventional therapy, except had to stop the chemo because of low blood counts.
Well my hubby is still alive today, no sign of the cancer. In the doctor's consultation letter he uses the word "amazing" about not finding ANY sign of cancer during the surgery. Everything was just dead tissue, they could find no viable cancer, just friable tissue. I really believe that with the help of prayer, the angels, God, alternative and natural therapies, plus excellent regular medical treatment, a positive attitude and creative visualization (which my husband also used) that it saved his life. We moved 3000 miles after that cancer to where we always wanted to live in the mountains on a farm, both our dreams. I feel like I am living in heaven. I don't get too worried about what is going on at transcription companies, just do my work, because are so much more important things to concentrate on.
Very little gets either of us down anymore because we learned the hard way what is truly important in life. My three children have their dad still and I still have my husband.
Good luck and I am praying for you. Remember, cancer IS curable.
Cancer - moody as all get-out and
sometimes very touched and concerned about my transcription patients. Even though I know they are totally in another part of the US.
Leo. On the cusp with Cancer.
Very appropriate!
Cancer ..... Leo cusp nm

Just had a doc say a guy with gastric cancer was...
admitted to the OB/GYN service. (I didn't miss something in my training, did I?)
does anyone know if bone cancer is always..sm
metastatic or can cancer originate in the bone?
