Was It Even Confirmed??
From what I understood reading the OP message was that it was a "rabies scare". It didn't say that they all had rabies. I would find that hard to believe that 50,000 dogs all had rabies. And for them to come into people's homes and take their dogs, that's just unbelievable and barbaric.
Troubles with Teething - Baby, Baby, Baby
Hi. My little guy is teething soooooo bad and I am wondering if any of you have some ideas that I can try, to hopefully make his life (and my life) a little easier to deal with? lol. We've tried Tylenol - with little pain relief, but much diarreha! We've tried Orajel - it seems to wear off too fast to make a difference. We've tried teething toys - help for only a few minutes (not nearly enough time for me to get any work done!). His appetite is normal, but his sleep schedule has been totally disrupted (as has mine). For the last 2 nights, he has woke up every couple hours. I would think he would be exhausted during the day....but he never goes to sleep. He is more fussy than usual and alittle more clingy, but overall he is very playful. His pediatrician gave me some suggestions (the above) that I have tried with little to no help, so I am desperate for new ideas! He is cutting multiple teeth right now (and just got a few new ones last week too) so he is in a lot of pain. Poor little guy. I appreciate all ideas that anyone has. Thanks in advance. :)
Just curious--how is being a CMT confirmed?
Is there like a national registry or something? Is it like nursing where you need to maintain the certification by taking yearly tests? Yep, I'm totally clueless on this one. I'd be totally po'd though if I went through the extra work of getting certified only to make the same darned rate I'm making now. Seems like there should be some time of financial reward for going that extra distance for one's career.
You just confirmed my point...
You definitely need a Xanax.

Not Selfish
I am not being selfish, i have two other children in the public school system and that is where they want to be, but for my son Home schoolig has been the best thing for him.
Each child is different and as parents we always have to do what is best for our children for they our the future.
Selfish??? Only if...
it's selfish to expect to be compensated fairly for your hard-won expertise and hard work. SHEESH!! However, it may well be called foolish, with the bosses' excuse of "hard times" for not wanting to do the right thing.
Again, we agree. Very selfish to think they should have every holiday off, as if they are sm
the only ones with a family or a life. And yes, when there is a chance to line their pockets, they will be the first to suck the work dry.
I guess it doesn't matter. At least I know I'm doing the right thing. I take breaks and have my family time and everyone understands that is just the nature of the business. I guess once people quit getting sick at times it is inconvenient for us, we can all take off.
My dad is an immature, selfish idiot.
Entertained himself by making fun of me and laughing at me when I got upset, doesn't know how to carry on even the simplest conversation, has been telling the same tired jokes for 40 years for lack of anything to say and goes to bed at 2PM because there are people in the house and he can't keep up with a discussion like a normal human being. I grew up with no self esteem and married the first abusive, selfish, hateful idiot that I came across because I thought that was all the better I could do.
Thank goodness I saw what was going on with me and why and have been straightening out my life for the past 12 years or so and avoid my dad (and the rest of my dysfunctional family) at all cost.
My dad = a waste of oxygen.
That is not selfish, it is something called LOVE.

Strike at this time is selfish
I think that during this hard time for the country, anyone who is going to strike, ie. kick and scream till they get what they want, are being selfish. There are SOOOO many unemployed right now and sooo many more running the risk as well. I understand not wanting to take cuts, etc. but face it people, that is what a lot of people in this country are resorting to because they have no other choice. Many, I am sure, would be HAPPY to have a job...and these people want to quit working till they get their way? And these people are the people who preach about patient care? - just my opinion
Listen - most men have more selfish ways than women. sm
I can remember when my teens were small, my husband would moan and groan whenever I took time away from the home and "went out." To be honest, we were young and immature then - mature enough to get married and have children, but NOT mature enough in our married relationship.
Sometimes selfishness disguises itself as insecurity. Maybe, he is a little insecure and not as selfish as you think. It took me a long time to recognize it and I did not recognize it until I "matured" enough to see it.
Just wanted to give you something to think about!
BTW - Marriage is hard work. It is not easy, especially in the first 7-10 years, and it is even harder with small chiildren. You need to communicate, communicate, and communiate some more as well as show each other love and respect, it will become a smoother ride!
Been married for 19 years now and would not want to live a day without my Mr. McDreamy!
Good luck.
Bachelor's Degree
I have a BS in Communications 1990 with some graduate work. I worked as an instructor in a college doing medical assiting job placement and then I just kind of fell into transcription when my daughter was born in 1998.
PAs have at the very least a Bachelor's Degree ..
correct??
spoiled...
"As I tell my girls." That speaks volumes about your attitude. You need to be back in the 1950s.
No doctor, nurse or any other health professional bases their treatment on a typed report on the chart - and if any of your employees believe that bunk, they deserve to have you as a boss.
Wow, I must be a spoiled
I could never imagine staying in one job for that long if I was as miserable as you appear to have been for quite some time (20 years).
I have only been at this for five years. I have worked in two major hospitals, one clinic, and at home. I have always DETESTED working inside, especially during the day and especially with meaningless office banter and gossip, not to mention the snobbery of most upper management or "administrators".
This led to me to MT at home, which I love. I do not work for a large national with multiple benefits, so what you are offered sounds good to me.
Honestly, as long as you can keep your production going (overtime is not a problem where I work...they would love you for it) and not let the isolation that sometimes is overwhelming (for some...not all)from bothering you, it sounds to me that you enjoy working at home.
IMO, VR and India will not take all of the jobs before you plan to retire. I don't know where you live, but where I am, there are plenty of IC jobs to choose from. I am honestly too lazy to go after them because I like not having to deal with all of that. I like to get lines, get paid, and be able to play with my dogs and wear pajamas. So, in that way, I am spoiled.
I would try to secure another job before quitting my first, though. It can take a week or so to get used to your new company's system, templates, QA people (!), etc... to get your production up.
GOod luck and if you have any more questions, hopefully some of the nicer people on this board can help.
Yes too spoiled I think but that is mainly my DH - sm
I spoil them too, but not to the same extent. They are 6 & 8 now (girls). He seems to think he has to buy them something everytime he goes out of town (sometimes this is as much as once a week), so it can add up quick, and they were starting to ask him every night he came home from work "what did you get me", I told him it was way out of hand and had to stop. He had gotten better finally but still not quite where I want him to be. They generally wake themselves up in the morning, but if they are not up yet I wake them up. They pick out their clothes and dress themselves, brush teeth. I get their breakfast though and brush their hair. My 8-y/o does her homework on her own for the most part, I might sit with her while she does it, then check it when she is done. As for chores, nothing on a regular basis, but that is changing shortly, have quite a few things that I do that they can handle just fine. They both clean their rooms (the older one under duress); take turns cleaning their bathroom; and help pick up the LR adn DR (again under duress) when I want to clean/vacuum. We do not do allowances as yet, but are teaching the 8-y/o about $$. She keeps wanting games for the DS Lite, which she paid $60 toward the purchase of to her uncle for her birthday a couple weeks ago; she sells our eggs (have some chickens) and we let her have the $$ which she saves up to get things; granted the egg money won't get her far ($10 a month if that) so I have to keep an eye on how much my DH slips her (which drives me nuts, keep telling him to at least make her do something for the $ and quit just giving it to her). I just don't want my kids thinking they will just be handed $ whenever they want it from dear old dad. Hopefully my visions of the future will not come true.
Spoiled
Thanks everyone for your responses. I am at fault by spoiling her so much; I really love being with her, I've been knitting sweaters and watching the Wizard of Oz with her and reading, she loves for me to read books to her and play with her, she's an only child and both her mom and my son work and they are young so you know how the priorities are at that age, nobody spends time with her but me so she's thrilled when I see her. She cries when her Mom comes to get her and climbs on me saying "No" she doesn't want to go. My son is usually busy playing video games or on the cellphone when she here visiting so she comes to me for attention. I feel bad, but I really have to work, I've been out of work for 2 years now. I appreciate all of your feedback. You guys are great!!
How many MTs have a completed Bachelor's or higher currently?
nm
Bachelor of Fine Arts - sm
Used to do craft shows (high dollar ones not flea markets) for jewelry, sterling silver and niobium. Once kids are out of school will probably get back into it again, have a full studio collecting dust - never made tons of $, but $400-$800 gross a weekend at a good show.
We paid for 2 bachelor's degrees and
that was it. If they want to further their education their employers each pay to do that (government jobs).
I say send your son to a school where he lives in a dorm and then in an apartment. It's time.
You're both adults getting on each other's noives at this point.
You'll be surprised how much they grow up after they move out and live away at school.
She sounds spoiled
She sounds like a self-centered spoiled employee, IMO. Does she not take pride in her work? If not, she is in the wrong field. I think if a Transcriptionist ever gets to the point the errors don't bother them, they need to consider a profession change. Yes -- they're small mistakes right now, but how long until she transcribes the wrong medication dosage or something really big? As I tell my girls, a decimal in the wrong place can mean life or death for a patient if the doctor does not thoroughly check the work and calls in a wrong dosage.
Do you have a bachelor's degree? I've thought about
but the lack of a bachelor's degree is really the main weeding-out tool/stumbling block for me, darn it. I didn't realize it was such a major requirement for this type of job too ... as far as http://www.fdch.com goes, anyway. I thought maybe not having experience in court reporting/CAT machine transcription would be the breaker, actually.
Interesting, but.... (sigh)
Lazy (spoiled) dictators
They're so used to somebody (like us and/or nurses, etc) picking up after them and waiting on them hand and foot, that they just don't think they need to bother. When I worked on-site in a hospital, it was easier just to get the chart and write their dis summaries for them, but of course we can't do that from out here so I guess we have to use our mind reading skills.
Yes very spoiled but very responsible and do chores. sm
Most kids are "spoiled" in some way or another. I have two teens who do not ask for any material things. They do not care about name brand clothing or shoes, etc. They are leaders - not followers.
They keep their rooms clean, help out around the house, clean the kitchen, bathrooms, help me do the laundry. Now that school is back in - homework and school work come first. My husband and I spoil our kids on our own just because they are "good kids."
Parents: Are your kids spoiled? sm
For instance, do they do chores that are age appropriate, do their own homework, get themselves up in the morning and ready for the day if they're older than say age 10? Here's how it works in our house:
6-year-old: Responsible for cleaning her room, feeding her fish and bunny rabbit and her bathroom each week. Puts dirty clothes into the hamper and puts up clean clothes except those that have to be hung, which we do since she's not tall enough. Likes to mop the kitchen floor so we let her do that. Does her own homework after I make sure she remembers the directions.
15-year-old: Has to clean her own room and bathroom - alternates the bathroom cleaning with the 6-year-old since they share a bathroom. If she cooks anything that's not a meal for everyone she has to clean up after herself. She's now learning to do laundry - my DH always took care of that for her in the past or her mom did, but I've forced the issue that she can do her own laundry now that she's 15. Also has to do her own homework without help from us. For instance, while doing English she commonly asks for the meaning of a word. I tell her to go to webster.com and look it up or grab the dictionary - which is how we learned as kids. Also her dad (and bio-mom) used to help do her homework by looking up stuff and writing the answers which she'd re-write but that stopped while we were dating as I got him to realize that he wasn't helping her by doing this and she needed to do her own school work and not whine to get him to help. She is also required to get herself up and out the door for school in the morning, on time, and knows that if she oversleeps and misses the bus because she's goofing off then she gets no PC or TV privileges for the day. It only took her 1 time of missing the bus to learn to get up on time.
What about your household?
You know, people are totally spoiled now
When I started out we worked on typewriters (do you know what those are?)- some had correcting tapes - you hit the backspace and typed the same mistake, took that off and then you backed spaced again and continued typing. On the first several computers we had no spellchecking at all. Where I learned we had to have less than 3 errors (either medical or English) on a page before we could get production pay. Our work was much, much better than what I see just being posted on here with the misspellings, etc. I use spellcheck now but only because, first of all required and secondly just makes me feel better but not a crutch for me in any way.
My DH paid every dime of his bachelor's degree working....
36 hours a week and going to school. How did he do it? He didn't get involved in serious relationships because knee he would get sidetracked and wouldn't have the time to devote to school. It also helped that he lived in California where state college tuition is reasonable. For his master's degree, he borrowed the money from his father (only about 4,000) and paid every cent back right away (this was after we were married and had 2 kids).
Ten years here. I would get a bachelor's degree. This job is looked at like cashiers at the sto
Service owners aren't paying enough, hospitals are continually outsourcing all their work, so at one point or another, you will be working for a middle man for little wages and no benefits. This industry has gone from a respectable profession to monkeys at computers in their jammies with babies on their laps.

Kids are grown and gone and I no longer need to be home all day. The cats don't need as much supervision as the kids did.
Totally agree. Her kids are brats and spoiled with dirty money. I know she works

Yeh baby
I forgot about him - ala Cool Hand Luke (yup, I am 43)
You can do this with a baby.
Lots of opinions on this subject I see. You can do this. I worked in house for more than 10 years, but came home to be with my kids too. My schedule was a bit rough, I would work in the mornings during baby's nap time, then split my shift so I worked a night while he slept. My desk was in the room next to him. I then had another son and continued with the same pattern. It is rough and you tend to lose some sleep, but it is well worth it. It actually helps to do a split shift so your wrists don't get tired. At any rate, my kids are older, both in school now and I still work in the mornings, do errands/housework in the afternoon, be here when they get home from school, do dinner and homework together, and after they are in bed, I finish up my shift. I've been doing this for 10 years now. I take my job seriously, I'm productive and have a 99% QA score. My company is happy, I am happy, and my kids are happy that they have a mom home with them when they need her. It depends on how disciplined you can be, but is is feasible Keep in mind that babies are not babies forever (which is kind of sad). Enjoy your little one!
RUN BABY, RUN
job with Soft Script. If you have a good job, keep it. Or, go elsewhere. You think the recruiter is rude, you haven't seen anything yet. Plus, they will lie to you, steal your lines and you will have to work 24/7 to earn more than minimum wage. You can do MUCH better.
YA BIG FAT CRY BABY
BOO HOO HOO
baby......
Sorry, but if you're nursing a baby while you're transcribing, neither job is being done properly. MT takes full concentration and you cannot have an ear out for the kids while you are trying to do the complex skill of medical transcribing.
Yes, women can do just about anything, but not all at one time!
A baby deserves their parent's undivided attention while they are being fed.
ERs, baby!

baby
do you know if the local high school teaches child care? Maybe, something like for a few hours would help, not very viable, but probably a lot cheaper. I have never researched this, just a thought. I've got two of my grands here now and it has been too long; barely got out of my nightgown!
Oh cry me a river, baby
Not on this planet, baby
Wake up and smell the coffee.
I don't know how it's possible to do this with a baby to contend with unless you put him in da
and demands just as much concentration.
Does anyone know about baby rabbits????
I found them today. Their eyes are closed. There is no mother in sight. My dog already got 2, but I have fenced them in with enough space for the mother if she comes, but maybe my dog ate her :(. Should I move them. I am watching the dog and not letting her out unsupervised, but I can't keep that up for too long. Any advice would be appreciated. I want to save them, but I don't have all day to look after them.
Baby rabbits
Mother rabbits only come to the nest to feed the babies at night to avoid drawing attention to the nest by potential predators. The best way to determine if she is returning to the nest is to gently replace the grass/leaves that may have been covering the nest and place at least two peices of thread/twine/yarn over the nest in an X pattern and check in the morning to see if it is moved. You can also try putting a lite dusting of flour on the ground to check for footprints (just be sure it is far enough away to prevent attracting ants to the babies). While it can be done, the unfortunate fact is babies rabbits have an extremely high mortality rate when attempting to bottle feed, so if you can be sure the mother is still taking care of them, the best thing is to leave them alone. If you are sure she is not feeding them do not attempt to feed them yourself, cow's milk can be fatal. Contact a wildlife rehabilitator in your area and follow their instructions until they can pick it up. Be sure to remember that it is also against the law to keep any "wild" animal.
baby rabbits
Had somewhat similar situation and talked to wildlife people here (Wa state) they told me if the eyes were open, the baby was about 5 inches long, and the ears were standing up, it could survive on its own. Otherwise, ohoh. Sometimes you can locate the wildlife rescue org for your area on the internet.
Good luck to you - at least you are trying to help them.
One other thing they told me is that wild rabbits should not be domesticated - they are extremely unlikely to survive if handled.
not this baby's mama.

whoa baby!!!!
I might have to get one for myself
