Dysfunctional? - sm
You're just beginning to think this? I have told everyone on both sides of the family that I work EVERYDAY, holidays included. I make no exceptions unless I WANT to go somewhere, which is very seldom. That's my excuse to not attend any function I don't care to attend, and this is accepted when I don't attend. May be too late for this year, but you could try saying you got called to work????
U mean there are OTHER dysfunctional families out there?
LOL. I thot it wuz just mine!
Hey, my family puts the FUN in dysFUNctional!
RadGuy, you could start a blog and publicly post your family's antics for the whole world to see. Just kidding.... It sounds as if a cruise or weekend getaway is in order!
I think the majority of families in America are dysfunctional nowadays!
I have yet to find or meet a functional family.

My little family of 4, meaning me, my husband and 2 children are functional, but when you add in my side of the family, 5 siblings, and his side of the family 5 siblings, it becomes totally dysfunctional. Go figure!

I can only do the best with my own little family of 4 and keep us a functional, caring, productive family giving back to society in a positive meaningful way. I can not control the siblings or extended cousins, etc.

It is my goal to keep my little family of 4 functionally intact forever!
how 'bout this one?

I was reading through a patient's H&P and saw this:


"Patient is 73 years old, stool spry and lively."


Quite a visual, that was...


How 'bout going further than that, and
actually starting a UNION?
It could be 'USMTU' (United States MT Union', or maybe
'MTWA' (Medical Transcription Workers of America.) It'd be nice to actually put 'AMERICA' back in the name, (and Indians need not, and MAY not, apply.)
of course, I know 'bout as much as the docs do...sm

yeah, and that's why I'm here typing and they're out on their yacht somewhere, right?    But I do try to diagnose, even did this when I worked for a doc in the back office.  And sometimes I was actually right!


'bout time!
:
and soon new Sopranos...or how 'bout...sm

Extreme Home Makeover....that's my favorite show...


new Sopranos in March...new Deadwood soon, and new Carnivale soon and too bad they canceled SIX FEET UNDER but you can still catch the first 6 seasons in reruns.


I love that HBO....


How 'bout Amphion?

As well it SHOULD! 'Bout TIME, too!
nm
how 'bout a camera on that spot?

How 'bout comparing us to PA's, RNs, or even doctors? (nm)
x
how 'bout Bay??? Or a local auction house, or
take pictures to local jewlers. (Wouldn't recommend taking the original on first visits). ebay might also give you some information re: comparables.
how 'bout a lovely gift certificate...nm

I hope they get put out of business. 'Bout time the
HMOs are ruining the health industry. Many fine docs have quit 'cause they don't like pencil-pushers telling 'em what to do. And you KNOW they're behind all that 'bottom line' BS that has driving our work offshore.

Glad to see the suit being brought against them, and hope that THIS time they get taken down.
Here's what I gots to say 'bout all diss stuff...
1. How long have you worked as a medical transcriptionist? 5+ years.
2. What certification have you received?  None.
3. What attracted you to pursuing a career in medical transcription?  The ad in the local paper and the fact I was penniless and willing to do anything...even if it was morally/legally questionable.
4. What type of environment do you work in (i.e. from home, physician’s office, hospital, other). Home.
5. What do you think are the most important skills a medical Transcriptionist should have? A sense of humor and ability to acquire sedatives easily.
6. Did some skills come naturally to you, while others required more practice?  Always been zippy on the keys and always been willing to learn or teach myself whatever I needed to, to get a job done.  I could use a hand with anger management 101 though.
7. In addition to transcribing medical reports, do you engage in other forms of business writing while on the job (such as memos, proposals, or progress reports, etc.) to clients, coworkers, or supervisors?  Nope.
8. What do you think is the most difficult aspect of medical transcription?  Continuing to do it despite it messing with your head knowing this line of work is steadily going down the globalization crapper.
9. What do you find to be the easiest aspect of medical transcription?  X about it.  :-D
10. As a medical transcriptionist, do you often need to collaborate with others to ensure that all the information in your reports is correct? I don't understand this question, so I guess I don't do whatever this is.

How 'bout we all shut up and go to work, loool

How'bout docs can't decide if patient...sm
is a He or She, goes between genders throughout the course of the dictation.  (Especially with ESLs, who really need to get their grammar straight, much less their enunciation).  Hate to send my loved ones to this doc...can't tell if it's a "he" or "she". 
Parents and children? How 'bout fishing, sports, his job, etc. nm
v
Curiosity piqued.....whatcha excited 'bout??? nm
.
'Bout gave me a HEART ATTACK, but no pay cute here.
Somehow I dont think they would cut MTs' pay 30 percent without some sort of advance notice, done in such a way that people such as me, who didn't get any email, would find out about it on MT Stars. That's why I don't believe it.
