Just found out that the suspect's ex wife--sm
Posted By: kps on 2006-08-17
In Reply to: JonBenet Ramsey--sm - kps
is providing an alibi for him, saying that he was with her in Alabama at the time of JonBenets death and that he only knew certain things about the case because he did alot of research on it, as well as another case in California. Why would he confess to it, if he did not do it? and why would she, the ex, defend him?

I would suspect...
...that a certain CEO is hoping Brandi won't start telling us about the old days in detail. Then again, maybe he would! Dang, I'm still laughing over one story in particular. He was sure a gas at the parties I attended at WebMedX!
Also, I suspect the pay isn't all that SM
great (remember, the amount the client is paying is there), if about 1/2 goes to the service then that leaves a little less than 9 cpl. It's okay money, but I also think this is IC work and if so, it's not that great a deal.
I don't know for a fact the service is taking 1/2; I am assuming that--they have overhead to pay for.
Yes, you have ADD, but I suspect you know that.
Actually, probably ADHD. I should know - I have it as well! Nice meeting you! As for the class, it has to be the same company that I suffered and friznazzled in for all of 4 hours, with a raging fever, droning in and out of consciousness - not from the fever, but from the Barbie on my end. Sounded like Mrs. Rogers on speed. And she kept attempting comedy - to which all my dutiful bunny classmates laughed and laughed. Except... they did so by clicking a LAUGH icon, or they would hit the CLAP icon. I was so looking for the VOMIT icon, but, alas, there was none. I couldn't take it, and after 4 hours, I hit the EXIT DOOR icon really quickly, heard it slam shut, saw my name disappear, and that was the end of my career at THAT company. Ended before it started. Took me a LONG TIME to saw off the ball and chain that they had included in with the computer - the one to chain myself to the desk. I sawed it off, signed back on and hit the CLAPPING icon. I was free...Do you think I'd be on their infamous REHIRE list??
Thanks, but I suspect
that since the company I now work for has their own Voice Monitor I doubt I would be able to transfer reports to a system like Gear Player.
I suspect you are the honest one
I was skeptical above when I read the responses to "How much have you made so far with the year half over". Awfully amazing how much money they claim (maybe overestimate) they make -- equivalent of full-time income with how much time they take off for their kids or "life". There was an allusion to the truth about the MT who said she is a second paycheck to her husband MBA. But I suspect you are the honest one, stating that it isn't the money. It certainly isn't the virtually non-existent benefits.
Since you have been there that long, I would suspect that... sm
you have power from your longevity that they feel threatened by. The administrator may feel glad that you are leaving so they can finally gain more personal control.
This does not mean you should feel bad, though. Change is good, so you have everything to gain, but so do they. I would not begrudge them the feeling, though. I always try to wish the best for those that I leave behind.
Thanks again for the link. I suspect I will be using-sm
this in the near future, because now I want to make it capitalize afer a ":" and I find that it will not capitalize after a number, such as in L1. I really appreciate your help. All of this little stuff can really slow down production, not to mention make you want to pull your hair out. :^)
thanks so much!
$13/hr is ridiculously low. I suspect SM
it's some program where they get you cheaply, sharpen your skills by giving feedback on your work (mentoring) and then turn you loose. Industry standard is around 150 lines per hour. If you did that, that's a little over 8.5 cpl. BUT if you type 175 lines an hour for $13/hr, you are typing for a little under 7.5 cpl. As you get better and more used to the dictators under this "training program," you will actually be working for less money, see?
If you suspect something dangerous, then
for heaven's sake go and visit a doctor.
Why do you suspect a pulmonary embolism? I dounbt tht you wiklk be able to cough it up. Are you producing some blood when coughing?
It might just be some mucus or phlegm that you cannot lodged in you lungs.
Does your cough produce blood?
Here are the symptoms tht indicate a pulmonary embolism
(blood clot in the lungs):
Google:
'Pulmonary embolism symptoms can vary greatly, depending on how much of your lung is involved, the size of the clot and your overall health — especially the presence or absence of underlying lung disease or heart disease.
Common signs and symptoms include:
Sudden shortness of breath, either when you're active or at rest.
Chest pain that often mimics a heart attack. The pain can occur anywhere in your chest and may radiate to your shoulder, arm, neck or jaw. It may be sharp and stabbing or aching and dull and may become worse when you breathe deeply (pleurisy), cough, eat, bend or stoop. The pain will get worse with exertion but won't go away when you rest.
A cough that produces bloody or blood-streaked sputum.
Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia).
Other signs and symptoms that can occur with pulmonary embolism include:
Wheezing
Leg swelling
Clammy or bluish-colored skin
Excessive sweating
Anxiety
Weak pulse
Lightheadedness or fainting (syncope)
Fever'
If you do not have these symptoms, take an aspirin, drink hot tea with lemon juice and honey, you might just have a cold.
Are you married? Do you have any reason to suspect
that your spouse might be monitoring your activity on the Internet?

Suspect - Jon Benet Case
From what I saw on the news, he confessed to things that the public was never told about and that only the police knew. Also, I was happy to hear that before Patsy Ramsey died she actually knew this person was a suspect so she could also find some peace.
I suspect that with the name change they will also lose a lot

I suspect we will see stories like these more and more on both sides soon

When VR gets worse over time, I suspect it has to do with
new MTs, Indian MTs, and those MTs who don't really give a crap about "training" VR. When it's not "trained" correctly, it just gets worse. IMO, there's no way to uniformly constantly train it, or for the physicians to ever put forth the proper effort needed to make VR work. It's a losing battle & the only purpose it's serving right now is to severely cut our pay & decrease patient safety. VR needs to go away.
I suspect it's another newbie doing a test tape to get a job
"D-dimer"
"Parenchyma"
"Acidosis"
Any first year terminology student wouldn't have to ask about these elementary MT words. It's a cheater trying to pass a test she is in no way qualified to be taking.
Call your insurance co and tell them what you suspect..its up to them to verify.

I suspect employers are being forced to care. SM
Since it's a new platform, it's a new problem that probably a lot of companies are just waking up to. My sympathies for people who find themselves effectively "forced" to use it as it apparently is now.
With serious compatibility issues with common brands of the Expanders that have become vital to so many of us, at this point I would not apply to a company using it, and I suspect few other good experienced transcriptionists reading about it would either. This seems such a grave flaw that it will have to be repaired, or this platform will end up a dead end used by only a few institutions.
How about contacting the company that developed the platform directly for answers and fixes? Also the developer of your own expander, who must be well aware of the issues Chartscript raises for them. The ShortHand tech guy (not my own MTSO techs!) fixed me up promptly when I was put on eScription and developed glitches. Best wishes with this.
another wife
My husband has been active duty for 20 years. We were stationed in the same place for 17 years. As soon as he hit the 20 yr mark, they decided we needed to move. Not all military services have crappy housing, though there are some WWII vintage houses still around as the other wife mentioned. I've never lived in housing as a wife, but did as a kid. I told my husband before we married that I wouldn't live on base, but a lot of people do it to save the money. Your kids will miss their daddy, no getting around that. My daughter spent two months on IV antibiotics, two hospitalizations, blood work, etc. Didn't cost me a dime! Just remember, in the military if they want you to have a wife they'll issue you one!
and he and his wife for MT'g ONLY use...sm
expanders/shortcuts and he said that's all he used to transcribe and that he was making $$ hand over fist this way and his wife too.....again he said he never *typed* anything, only used shortcuts for absolutely everything regarding MTg....and in that case you could do 500 LPH I suppose.....if not even more 
I don't know the cost of this program any longer, but when I bought Shortcuts from him it did cost $149....it was a very long time ago though....hopefully that price came down over years.....
His wife
I think they are a total mismatch. I don't see how she could have been attracted to him, ever.
OM doc's wife
I have seen closeup a similar experience (a friend of mine) and sorry to say, the deck is stacked against you. Lesson learned= never work for a doc whose wife is involved in his practice in any way...nurse, OM, whatever. Any woman who wants to be that involved is in need of a life, and will almost certainly get on some kind of power head rrip sooner or later, just because she can. Poor doc!!!
I need a wife is what I really need
Told my aunt the other day how much running I had to do and she said just don’t do it. Well, how pray tell does it get done then? What I do is, by working part-time, I take the mornings and/or nights to do what I need. The 2 days during the week I am off is kept for doctor appointments, and taking care of business. I also have a housekeeper which allows me time to do this running around. Working out of the home or working in, I never take time for interruptions. I will answer the phone for 2 and that is if husband calls and/or daughter, other than that goes on answering machine. Even those 2 know not to be pesty in calling.
And, the wife usually
looks at any office expense as a rip-off of her husband's money. Having no idea of the knowledge and skill base required to MT, it probably looks like a pretty easy job to her. Wonder if she'd like to try doing a couple of reports just to see how it is. She might end up doing that very thing if you leave. What a mess that would be!
Oh, I found it really creepy when you said you found the flowers not so skillfully arranged on your
steps, and from your own flower bed. That's what I was worried about, having gone thru some psycho kids myself with my pups. Someone's been in your yard and in your garden and at your door without your knowledge. Its just creepy to me, and I'd still be very, very careful. Especially valid sounded the other MTs warning you about potential fake molestation charges. You just NEVER know nowadays, and these people have already turned on you big time once. Luckily (though I don't believe in luck), you had it on film to save yourself and your puppy. You might not be that lucky next time, and the whole thing just sounds very unstable to me right now. I know you feel sorry for the little girl, but probably the only time I have ever made BAD decisions regarding my life is when I felt sorry for someone, particularly kids. My son even has an evil kid in his life, but one who has a million reasons for sympathy, and I was saying how we should "be bigger" than the situation and invite this kid over to play. Thankfully, I regained my sanity long enough to remember - ever time I have done something like that on a personal basis for someone just because I feel sorry for them AFTER horrible behavior, it has always been a disaster... Be kind, but you don't have to risk your family again. Be kind from a distance. Its sorry she went thru this horrible experience, but YOU didn't cause it, and its not really your problem. But it could be your problem if this kid acts out in your life. Know what I mean?
both he and his first wife were gay. He is totally gay, and says so. sm
He is not bisexual, but has been partnered with David for years. Get your facts straight.
Military wife
Yep, my husband has been in the AF for 29 years. He has been deployed since middle of March and will be coming home at end of May. I've been MT for 3 years, but all at one place. Wish I would've done it sooner, when we were moving around. He's retiring this summer.
Wife swap
I loved it. I have the same problem with my fiance. He comes home and makes cracks if the kitchen table has stuff on it. My deck is the other side of the kitchen table so of course it has stuff on it. Men, gotta love it.
Thanks for letting me vent.
Lisa
I saw his wife yesterday. Don't know where
you get the overweight. Sure she isn't rail thin, but hardly fat. Chris is a local guy. There has been talks for weeks that he didn't really want to win because he would be tied to contracts for a year. He has a family and doesn't want to travel. Look at the year Ruben won. Clay was second and he has been more successful than Ruben, so I don't see not winning is going to hurt Chris. Personally I don't think he can sing, he can scream, but he sounds like a moose in heat to me and I think he'll soon fade into the spotlight. I have better things to do with my time than watching AI so I don't now about the others, though I did see a clip of Taylor on our local Fox news and I thought he could sing and he had a wonderful personality and is very comfortable in the spotlight, something Chris doesn't seem comfortable with.
So, you are friends with his wife?
I loved watching his shows...so sad. Hope his family is making it through this okay.
Where is wife/mother
Watch the intervention program but basically what it boils down to is that even with forcing them into a rehab program if they are not willing to quit they won't. They really need to hit bottom and you can force that by an intervention and get them into a program but if they don't see the "light" in the program they will only come out and do it again. But first concern is the children -- where is wife/mother? If they are in harms way then something needs to be done for them. Hate to see them go into the child welfare/protective services programs but if someone in the family cannot take them if the situation does not change then that is the last recourse. But get together with grandparents, siblings and pull together to try to get him to quit and see if someone can take the kids if there is no wife/mother around. If there is a wife/mother then she needs to do something about the situation for the kids sake and if she is not willing, step in. You would hate to not and then see something happen to the kids and not only that if something physically does not, mentally and emotionally it already is happening. Good luck. I might distance from him but not the kids. Patti PS - Dad was an alcoholic and ex was one so have had some experience with it.
Ugh, wife in the office! sm
I hate it! She is obviously "shopping around" as they all do. There is no loyalty when it comes to wives. If you cannot afford to dump them, then hang onto them until you can replace them. She will make your life miserable. I did the label stuff with the 1" pressure-sensitive transcription labels, Don't pay stationery store price.I am sure you can Google it. I used a paper cutter to "chop" the transcription and return it. The wife wanted me to take the face sheets, already handwritten by her, and print on those! I hope it's a large volume account. If she's saying get as much as you can on a page, she is being ridiculous, the only way you can handle that is to reduce your font and then she'll want you to reduce your price. I feel your pain dealing with the wife, they're ruthless!
If you can't get them to go digital (God forbid, that costs money) then you will have to work around her. I have walked that walk and it ends up you'll have to be the dumper instead of the dumpee which will happen eventually anyway because of $$$. My heart aches for you. If it were a big $$$ acct. you could set up a laser printer offsite there with the bottom half printing out the labels and the top the letterheads. But, of course, they wouldn't want the work of cutting and placing it in the chart. Been there, it hurts! I thought the doc would intervene in my case as he would rave to everyone about how pleased he was, but he said he only deals with the patients, does not want to know anything about the office staff problems. I finally gave them a notice and left promptly after two weeks. My pocketbook suffered but my pride suffered worse that he didn't step in. Grrrr! If you know digital, you could also buy them a recorder (out of your own pocket of course). Hope you get some good advice here, it's been awhile since I dealt with those "paper dolls" I used to call them,.
The minute you said *wife* the
No wonder you have to do all this. He has a wife telling him that you should be doing all this. First of all, if he pays you, you need to be talking to him about this, not her. Secondly, you need to decide if you can afford to go without this income. Do you work for anyone else? Could you pick up more work elsewhere? If so, then I would do as other posters recommend and confront him with a new charge schedule. If he wants you to do the corrections in-house, then have him schedule a time for you to come in and do this and tell him what your charge is. If he's late, his office should have the courtesy to call you. If not, I would make it a point to call in before leaving to check if he's running on time.
He doesn't see consultations for free. His time may be valuable, but so is yours. Don't shortchange yourself. Nine chances out of 10, he knows what he's doing is wrong and also knows that no one else will do it either unless he hires in-house.
Leland has a wife and 2 kids?? nm
??
Sounds like his wife has a leg up. I hope
aa
They think they're hurting the ex-wife, so they can't see that
they're actually hurting their kids.
Yep, I'm a Navy wife! Perfect job for me!

Harry Truman's Wife....
Her name, her looks, her personality, just EVERYTHING about her was just TOOO COOL!!!!!!
Did anyone see Wife Swap last night?
One of the wives was an MT married to a chauvinist. It was great because the "new" wife made him do all her work and chores in the house and with the kids, plus her MT job. He was up until 4 a.m. typing !! Ha ! He had a new respect for his wife after that! 
ditto the wife comment sm
I would say this is Problem No. 1 in a doc's office. They are a royal pain and they actually want you to lower your price in some cases. Leave them home!
re Dr wife and new charge schedule
I do have 2 other contracts and informed them that I had sent in my resume and that the new office might call for a reference on me. He told me he would gladly give me a good one - then the wife started confronting me and asked/told me that she knows I will resign because this is how it starts... and that I will not be allowed to just go but will have to keep working until she can find somebody else as it will take a long time (MTs in town know this doc & wife and won't work for them). I am a foreigner so I eat more of his nonsense than others but I think I have had enough! I will basically have to wait for payday and then tell them Im leaving you cold turkey or it will be a long dragged out nasty situation as she will just tell me she cannot find somebody to replace me. They have tried and this is the 2nd time I have gone back, first they got somebody in-office and let me go, then they got her back and let me go and then she walked out and they got me back again. I do have 11 years of exp and the new contract I have I can get more work if I want. Im just wondering if I won't be better off working my 40 hour week and having a life in the eve and weekends since my body is really giving me a hard time because Im working such long hours every day, 7 days a week to make not even what I can get at $10 p/h x 40 hours p/w.
The wife cannot work in Word LOL sm
The wife knows WP but not Word. They have a Mac at home which cannot convert the WP file to Word or that is her excuse why I have to do the conversion for them. This whole business stinks and its just time to move on and not deal with any of this, Im tired of always feeling like a monster and having my heart beat in my throat because I never know what I did wrong this time or how I will be treated when I get in the office.
Tell me again how DH being the IC and employing his wife is wrong?
I just don't get it. If he pays the taxes on the money and she agrees to work for him for $900 a month, not to mention she is actually EARNING the money.
never mind, his smart wife fixed it.
can't love overweight wife?! shame on you! nm
x
Inside and out apparently; man had a little baby with (now) ex-wife :-( nm
.
This same thing happened to my cousin's wife
and she also was 34. She was a school teacher at the time and had 3 little children. They treated her in the hospital for FIVE MONTHS. She was close to death for quite awhile but after multiple surgeries managed to finally survive. I do not think that they are suing. As someone stated, this is usually stated as a complication of gallbladder surgery.
Unfortunately, this hospital has a major problem with making those mistakes because my aunt also had her pancreas punctured when she went in just for a scope and also spent months in the hospital.
As hard as it is to accept though, these things do happen.
I am with the poster who said to pray for your cousin.
wife OMs are always trouble -- jealous, paranoid
poor hubbie lol
anytime a doctor's wife is involved in the
practice, it's always something...susan
Usher's wife comes to mind on this and if ICU warranted
would much rather be in the US than a foreign country.
I already know the details, hubby downloading porn while wife
Totally! I opted out of going to a cousin's wife's 2nd shower
after only 3 years! Ridiculous. The baby was even the same sex. And SHE never got rid of anything. So, I heard later that she took just about everything back to the store for refunds/exchanges! Really something, huh?
