You need to take my political views with a grain of salt. I really don't know enough about politics to even be on here running my mouth. Furthermore, I don't hate President Bush, I do so enjoy picking on him; but I know he has a very difficult job, and I bet money he is a lot smarter than me.

To the poster below who equates the BIble Belt with political views
USING TWO COWS TO EXPLAIN. . .
A CHRISTIAN DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. You keep one and give one to your neighbor. Then you covet it.
A SOCIALIST: You have two cows. The government takes one and gives it to your neighbor. You form a cooperative to tell him how to manage his.
A DEMOCRAT: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. You feel guilty for being successful. You vote people into office who tax your cows, forcing you to sell one to raise money to pay the tax. The people you voted for then take the tax money and buy a cow and give it to your neighbor. You feel righteous. Barbra Streisand sings for you.
A REPUBLICAN: You have two cows. Your neighbor has none. So?
A COMMUNIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and provides you with milk. You wait in line for hours to get it. It is expensive and sour.
A FASCIST: You have two cows. The government seizes both and sells you the milk. You join the underground and start a campaign of sabotage which ultimately blows up the cows.
CAPITALISM, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. You sell one, buy a bull, and build a herd of cows.
DEMOCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government taxes you to the point you have to sell both to support a man in a foreign country who has only one cow, which was a gift from your government.
BUREAUCRACY, AMERICAN STYLE: You have two cows. The government takes them both, shoots one, milks the other, pays you for the milk, then pours the milk down the drain.
AN AMERICAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You sell one, lease it back to yourself and do an IPO on the 2nd one. You force the two cows to produce the milk of four cows. You are surprised when one cow drops dead. You spin an announcement to the analysts that you have reduced your expenses. Your stock goes up.
A FRENCH CORPORATION: You have two cows. You go on strike because you want three cows. You go to lunch. Life is good.
A JAPANESE CORPORATION: You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. They learn to travel on unbelievably crowded trains. Most are at the top of their class at cow school.
A GERMAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You re-engineer them so they are all blond, drink lots of beer, give excellent quality milk, and run a hundred miles an hour. Unfortunately they also demand 13 weeks of vacation per year.
AN ITALIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows but you don't know where they are. While ambling around, you see a beautiful woman. You break for lunch. Life is good.
A RUSSIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You count them and learn you have five cows. You have some more vodka. You count them again and learn you have 42 cows. You count them again and learn you have 12 cows. You stop counting cows and open another bottle of vodka. You produce your 10th, 5-year plan in the last 3 months. The Mafia shows up and takes over however many cows you really have.
A SWISS CORPORATION: You have 5000 cows, none of which belong to you. You charge for storing them for others. If they give milk, you tell no one.
A BRAZILIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You enter into a partnership with an American corporation. Soon you have 1000 cows. You expropriate them. The American corporation goes chapter 11.
AN INDIAN CORPORATION: You have two cows. You worship them.
:D
How is this political? This is a state of living, not bickering political points. Truth hurts...NM

My views as the last 2 here
I was just talking yesterday about how most of your life is behind you before you know it (wish I could live some 60 more years), yesterday was when I was in high school, wasn’t it? Where did the 20s, 30s or even the 40s go - like a blur. I tell the younger than me all the time, time flies and it does. I love my life now, wish the years would slow down a little though.
Not to make this political, but...
Next time you vote for the Democrats, please realize that the ACLU has their hands ALL OVER the Democratic party, and the ACLU will fight to the end for the rights of those such as child molesters. Just Google the case about the boy in Massachusetts who was killed by a pedophile who frequented the NAMBLA website, which actually gives tips and information on how to gain access to little boys and actually condones sexual relations between men and boys. While neither political party is perfect, I find the actions of the ACLU more of than not to be unacceptable and I don't want anything to do with them. They used to do good work for the rights of others, they've now swung WAY too far in the other direction to the point of "stupid", especially when it comes to the rights of obvious criminals who would harm our children.

Means it had a lot of views...sm
I think 200 and over.
281 views and only 1 reply
Haha. Thanks puzzled, I appreciate your response. I guess the other QAs dont want to give up their secret info. ;)
After a certain number of views
It will flame. I am not real sure how many hits a particular post has to get before turning to a flame, but I do believe this is why. As for sm, I really don't know. Maybe see message? 
Views in Word
I believe the only "permanent" change in view is the "print view". Perhaps you can write a macro that will change the view for you? You could type in the macro code before starting each report ... just a thought ...
51 views, but no answers
Maybe I'm not being clear with my questions. I've seen IC jobs that I'm interested in. Should I go ahead and apply, do the testing? I have DSL, Windows XP, I can get the version of Word they want, if necessary. The national I worked for had proprietary software so I didn't need Word, although I have worked on it in the past. It would be the medical spellchecker, expanders, foot pedals, etc. that I would have to purchase if they weren't supplied. I just would appreciate some feedback on this. I'd rather be an employee w/benefits.
political? I think this is pertaining to life
I think this turned into whether or not you spank your child not what is happening in the schools/govt.
The posts that were removed were political. (SM)
It started discussion about which President was at fault for what and political views.
Stop jumping to conclusions over a reminder.
Political correctness goes a long way

Not political but re Senator Kennedy's OP:
Wouldn't that have been a great one to transcribe? Not because of who it is, but just due to the type of the surgery he had--open brain surgery with intermittent wakeful testing. I've been an MT for about 27 years, majority in acute care (now clinic--boring), and I absolutely love doing OPs. I really enjoy doing long, complicated, interesting operative reports like I'm sure this one was.
Gruesome? Maybe , but well wishes to the senator in any case.
I also posted on the political board, but -
I did not refer to Obama or McCain and the political side of it, I am interested more in how it is effecting us in the United States. Everyone else is posting here about their jobs and that is what I am talking about. I don't care about policies right now, I am wondering how every day life is going to change.
And, no, I am not being rude, just explaining myself.
I think she's already there on the political board, being nasty to
anyone who responds to her, for a couple of postings. I don't understand people sometimes.
Just posted on the Political Board
a long rant on this - please refer to that. But also see this website.
It's time to take a stand MTs!

Ahh, your post sounds political
Why not keep the snappy remarks to the other board? I doubt he was the original one to think this up. Get over it.
I like differing views and opinions...
It would be a very dull and uninteresting world (and bb) if everyone thought the came way.
I believe discussion and hearing what others think is a GOOD thing.
MQLover gives her opinion. What's wrong with that???
I feel for you - I am too! I don't like to push my views on others
and to each his own, but I certainly wouldn't complain if I never had to touch a piece of bacon (ugh!) or raw meat again. I'm married to a meat lover.
Over 200 views, hot topic indication.

i agree. not all views are represented on these
boards, it's too dangerous to be honest - you'll get attacked.
well, MTMommy has many views about MT work
she's really not interested in doing a professional job, in my opinion. she just wants money for nothing and to stay home and get paid.
Over 200 views, it marks as HOT topic.

Diagnostics/add views different from screenings
With diagnostic studies and add-views (follow-ups to abnormal screening studies) our MDs read the films while the patient is still there. Depending on who the referrer is, he often talks to patients if the results are not good. Even if he does not talk to the patient, you can be sure he has put in a call to the referring MD so that you will usually be notified the same day of any need for biopsy. But if it's negative, the referrer may not be as quick to call their patient, in general. And not every biopsy comes back with cancer, either, so don't panic until it's time to panic.
The reason why is because we do not agree with their views.
t
wrong! she views this as a "problem"
furthermore, she has a 'gut reaction'. then she is looking for a 'rule', apparently to support her in not putting the dictation in the report. That is the only conclusion that can be logically drawn from 'looking for a rule'. Otherwise this post would not have even been made or debated. THAT is why there is strong reaction.
I'm not the other poster, but speaking of TV and political correctness.
I can't stand those stupid shows where the guys are just big dumb oxen that everyone belittles and puts down. I won't watch the old TV shows where women were portrayed as ignorant either. Especially Archie Bunker. I see no humor in that character. Lately, all the men on TV are gay and the women are all foulmouthed tramps. I pretty much don't watch TV any more. Just because you watch it on TV doesn't mean that's how society truly is, either.
Take the political banter to the Politics board.

Are we discussing talent or political persuasion?
In my unbiased opinion, I say Babs has a better singing voice. I also think she's a good actress. I think Celine is wonderful, as well; I just think Streisand's voice is stronger and a little better.
Sometimes subjects spill over into political issues....
It's not done on purpose, but it happens.
Posting political and offshore topics (SM)
We have specific political and offshore boards for those topics. Please use those boards.
We are not over-monitoring. We are trying to keep a little bit of order here.
The Main board is very busy with high traffic of other topics. If you want to discuss offshoring or politics, please feel free to but post them on the correct boards.

LEGAL & POLITICAL ISSUES, ANALYZING ... SM
and gathering versus just reading ... hmmm. Docs need to analyze their legal & political issues on their own time ... not mine or my family's time ... and get their S*** together before they dictate ... furthermore, when they need to save a few seconds by racing through meds & labs, not only are they compromising patient care and document accuracy, it's just plain laziness & thoughtlessness. Of course, we should all be born to automatically know how to spell another doctor's name just because he/she knows how ... their 2-3 seconds they save in spelling is worth more than a half hour of my time having to research it.
It means a "hot" topic with a lot of views. NM

nonsense - we can all express our views...we are all adults (sm)
I just felt compelled to share this information because I just learned it.
haha - I was on atkins for 4 years, all I did was eat meat!
It just seemed important to me, like I feel it is another thing I have been 'lied' to by the government. You find the reality of things, and it is not how it is supposed to be.
Please post recipes because I still have to cook meat for my boyfriend...I just ask for forgiveness first...smile!
Her statement is posted regarding MTStar's views. (SM)
She is the Administrator and owner of this website and has every right to post her views, and is making sure that board is aware of the evolving issues before it.
Discussion posts about offshoring belong on the Offshore Concerns board. Discussion posts about politics belong on the political boards.
These are simple guidelines. No more needs to be asked or discussed about it.

After 200 views, a message shows a "flame". (SM)
It means it has been popular to view.
Flaming can also mean that there are many conflicting replies.
Welcome to MTStars. Make sure you become familiar with posting guidelnes; a good rundown on those would be to see the Company board - the guidelines are listed at the top.
Please be aware that this is a public forum. You may, at times, have to look past negative posts to get to positive ones.
If you have any problems, e-mail me - I'll be glad to help.

Does anyone know of any websites where I can find different types of x-ray views? TIA

AAMT is endorsing political candidates, oh boy, that can only mean trouble.

Posts about political topics go on the Politics board
If you are talking about President Obama's stance, action, statements concerning offshoring - it is political. It goes on the Politics board.
If you are talking about healthcare industries and what Congress, the Senate, the GOP or other leaders are doing or not doing about - it is political. It goes on the Politics board.
Thanks,

Someone answered on this below, that thing pops up when it has had a lot of hits -see the # of views

The political people knew what could happen if a hurricane hit New Orleans. sm
after 9/11 they diverted the money for the war. One should not take money from one project to do another. This tragedy didn't make any sense and there are some people on the political board that says its the mayor fault. What a joke.
