NO - common sense does not dictate that, the STATE in which you live does!

Posted By: ICMT on 2006-05-20
In Reply to: YES!!!! - Lynn

In my state, NO I do not have to have a business license unless I have clients in my state, which I do not. So, therefore, I do not have to have a license! I have checked with my attorney, my state office, and my State Representative to be sure I was receiving the correct answers and all said the same thing!

So, my advice to anyone asking is contact your State office.

Each state has different laws. Where I live, if I have clients in the same state I live in, yes I ne
have clients from another state, no I do not need a license. Every state is different. I checked with my attorney and the State Business offices.
Thanks, of course I used common sense...sm

before I posted and waited until not only after the press release but after the details came out. We were carefully briefed early on on the details of what was and wasn't okay.


My daughter is going out of her skin waiting to hear.  She loves history and current events at school, particularly the mock elections, etc.  I just think it is a wonderful opportunity to give her this early in life. I hope it makes a huge impression if she gets to go as far as the importance of exercising her right to vote, etc.


I think this is common sense to the
I believe what she is saying is how to get relief NOW, since perhaps she does not have the funds to pay them?  She cannot very well take a time machine back one year and save up the money now can she? 
Seems like common sense
The negative effects on our health really does seem like common sense.  I love the peace and quiet of working nights, and in the days when I used to work graveyard shift outside of my home, I loved going to the grocery store and running other errands early in the morning when places were was less crowded.  But, I have to admit that working nights kind of leaves me with less than an energetic, healthy feeling.  Through trial and error, the best compromise that I've found for me is to make sure that I sleep at the same time every day, whether or not I am off work for that day, and make sure that I get 5 hours or more of sleep during the dark hours.  I've found that the rhythm of this plan has made all the difference, which is no surprise.  This, of course, is easiest to do in the wintertime.
Is this not common sense?

I think maybe my first month or so of doing MT I would actually try to look up stuff as I came to it.  It doesn't take long to figure out that is the WORST way to do it.


 


 


 


Why not? Just common sense.

This is common sense...
He means exactly what EMR means electronic medical record.  Why is this so difficult to understand?  There are many benefits to medical records being electronic.  Research it and you will find out for yourself. 
Again, common sense....

It is not already implemented at many facilities, yet at others it is; thus, the desire to implement it universally.  Below is an excerpt from Wiki regarding EMR.  This should clear things up for you.  Also, spend a few moments reading the second paragraph.  It clearly explains that EMR is an electronic medical record, and the means of achieving that final electronic state are many, some of which include templates, VR and traditional transcription.  So, tell me again, EMR automatically means a point-and-click system?


As of 2006[update], adoption of EMRs and other health information technology, such as computer physician order entry (CPOE), has been minimal in the United States, in spite of studies showing revenue gains after implementation.[2] Fewer than 10% of American hospitals have implemented health information technology,[3] while a mere 16% of primary care physicians use EHRs.[4] The vast majority of healthcare transactions in the United States still take place on paper, a system that has remained unchanged since the 1950s. The healthcare industry spends only 2% of gross revenues on information technology, which is meager compared to other information intensive industries such as finance, which spend upwards of 10%


Pricing for EMR systems is highly dependent on each practice's unique needs. Because every medical practice has distinct requirements, systems usually need to be custom tailored. This is due to the majority of EMR systems being based on templates that are initially general in scope. In many cases, these templates can then be customized in co-operation with the vendor/developer to better fit data entry based on a medical specialty, environment or other specified needs. There are also EMR systems available that do not use templates for data entry and therefore can be easily personalized by each individual user. Alternative data entry methods include concept processing, voice recognition, and transcription.


That takes common sense - LOL - nm

lack common sense, one's I have met..nm


Must be genius, cause if I had common sense, I would have
I like your theory though and have often in truth considered it as an explanation myself.
Exactly!! Finally some common sense
here. We're professionals, not some hired hand slave. Not too much to ask, for a doctor to dictate something right the first time. No seriously, 40% of this dictation is "correction."
DUH? Thats common sense. Not in the mood that day, so chose to be

Just as your points are logical common sense... sm
so also is the obvious reality from past performance of MQ, that you will likely not be happy there.. and need to find another place to work... you will not change the fact that because so many are "on to them" they are hiring anyone willing to work in those positions.. the only thing you CAN change is YOUR situation. You will find these same people who irritate you.. in oher places also.. but the only way you will escape the problems you have mentioned..is to leave where they are prevalent. There are many jobs posted.
Not mentioning an account is just common sense and I would not

hire her if I was in that position and would fire her if she was already hired.  If she sees nothing wrong when mentioning what accounts a company has then that is a HUGE problem.  It doesn't matter if nothing negative was said, if account specifics weren't mentioned, it is just COMMON SENSE and an unwritten rule that you don't tell what accounts a certain company has. 


the reason? *no common sense* quote...nm

COMMON SENSE far more important in life...nm

common sense tells me as an IC no takes are taken ouf and if ----
that is true about owing CA taxes - you would pay them the same way you handle Federal and the state you live in.

They are not to take ANYTHING out unless you are an SE or full out employee. ICs, no.
IMO, in the real world common sense is better to have than a high IQ. nm

Mensa AND common sense -- prejudice obviously ignorance
Oh bosh.  I am a member of Mensa and a medical transcriptionist.  I think it is VERY narrow minded of the whole bunch who criticize something they no NOTHING about.  Mensa is simply an organization whose qualification is that you test in the top 2 percent on any of a couple of different IQ tests.  High IQ and common sense are not mutually exclusive.  I have two other comments:  Intelligence is matriarchal (look it up) and if you would like the cheapest way of finding out your true IQ Mensa is generally the cheapest way to do it.   It used to consist of 15 bucks and a Saturday morning at a university test -- but I'm sure there are more modern ways now.   Contact American Mensa and find out.  They are a very interesting bunch and have special interest groups which consist of just about any topic you can think of from alcoholics to chocoholics to irish dancing and beyond.... 
As Dr. Phil says, "Let's get back to common sense."
If you see red flags, hear bells and whistles, or alarms going off in your head..listen to it. If your already hearing the excuses as to why they aren't getting paid on time, why be one of those waiting on your check...It is kind of like seeing a train coming down the track right towards you and somehow you convince yourself you can dodge it. I'm sure others have tried before you. Excuses will never pay your bills. Listen to your gut, go with common sense and the rest works out. Just my opinion...
Makes sense, I understand that surgeons will dictate the same report over and over, but....
none of my surgeons do them the same way each time. I have let's say an appendectomy from Dr. Smith, I pull up the appy report that I have saved from him....he will change all the words like and, the, or change the subject and verb, and it seems I change most of it anyway. I have tried to enjoy them, but you are right, hardly any drugs, I will keep that in mind. BTW, I love lengthy, detailed psych reports, they are my fave! Thanks for you reply!
I've never used any particular guidlines, just common sense paired with on job experience.....nev

Its just an unwritten rule and common sense; you better home Amphion is not watching - sm
I am sure they can put 2+2 together and figure out who you are and withdrawal their offer if they so chose. It's just not good business to say who has what.
common sense dictates you read the writing on the wall. technology has made you obsolete.
and the government has seen to it that american workers are no longer necessary and allows business to outsource many middle income jobs. 
This post makes no sense. State has nothing to
c
Yep, they dictate in noisy nursing stations, dictate in the ER, dictate in the OR when they are
cleaning up banging around and we are supposed to hear them. So much for HIPPA.
What state do you live in?
Here in Texas, all they ever do is talk about it, never do it.

what state do u live in?
and the clerks sort the mail. i've never heard of that before. maybe its different in the larger states?
don't know what state U live in....nm

Did you ever say which state you live in?
You are making remarks that a breast exam required for driver's license and yet you have not stated which state. Something screwy here.
Congratulations!! What state do you live in?
Sounds like a great job
I wonder if the state where you live offers
In Georgia they do have this, and a person who is convicted of a felony and completes the sentence requirements then has their rights restored, such as voting and the ability to officially answer "No" when asked about a felony conviction. Supposedly the information would not be available to a potential employer and most others, though I believe some are still privy to the information.
It depends on the state. In NC where I live,
you must be legally separated for a year before you can get a divorce. The legal separation is treated like a divorce though, so anything accrued by either party after the separation papers are signed are not considered marital property. I think she may want to obtain a second opinion just to be on the safe side.
I live in Washington state up in

the Cascade mountains. 


The only AC I have on is a small wall unit in my office when I type, but don't really need it very much.  Everybody wants to move up here.  Yikes, housing prices going up because of that.  I have a 1650 square foot house, 4 bedrooms, not too big, not too small.  Just hubby, 2 dogs and myself.  No water bill because we are on our own well.  No sewer bill because we are on a septic.  Use propane for the water heater and heat in the winter, about $500 bucks gives me half a tank, but that lasts us almost a whole year.   We don't use the central heat very much in the winter, just wall units.  Also, thinking of putting in a wood stove for heat.

things need to be worded differently depending on the laws of your state.
where do you live jason (state is fine)

Live in big city, 2+ million, with state pen and fed pen
as well as county jails located here.
I live approx. 25 min. from a state capital (rather not say), but seems everywhere you go - sm
around my area whether it be a Subway chain restaurant, small corner convenient store, etc., these are all being run by foreigners (mainly Indian). I really do not want to come across discriminatory, but I know man U.S. born citizens who cannot get the financial backing to start a business. Why shouldn't we come first?
what state does she live in? Was she prosecuted and sent to prison or just held in jail?

I live in Washington state and the health department posted it on the internet.
Here is the link to the information for this state, but every state probably has the same thing.

Sense of humor intact! Sense of hope as well! LOL

Yep, I knew it was advice, and I appreciate ALL points of view as it gives me perspective.  8-)  I've been reading the boards for a while now, and I realized that I'd get the good, the bad, and the ugly, and that's okay! 


However, I specifically asked for advice about how to do it rather than whether to do it, though, as I've already decided to defy the odds and give it a go. 


Enjoyed the NCLB reference, by the way! 


Work for a company in a state that has no state income tax
I think there are 3 or 4 out there (Florida, Texas, and a few others.)  Then you really avoid the tax situation. 
Common phrases. LOTS of common phrases, just like ops. SM

pser = the patient was seen in the emergency room


wwd= the wound was dressed


Just two tiny examples. People need to learn to use their Expander programs. I'd be making like $10 per hour without mine. I also work in a job where I do the work type I do best. That's very important. I would imagine (don't know for sure) that H&Ps and DSs have the most lines (I work on a gross line count) but you have to think more, look up more, and type more to get those lines.


I have everything magicked in there. That's the way I like it, that's the only way I will work.


 


why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion.  lovely trees and lakes all around.  maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall.  but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution.  That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks.  Population is dense and near manufacturing.  So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend.  There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others.  Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas.  You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas?  They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution.  I don't know.  I didn't stay long enough to test the theory.  My mental and physical health is way too important to me. 
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Name a state and put every company in that state under suspicion.

Tell what the first letter of the company is and every company with that initial will be suspect.  I would imagine that everyone who works for that company has received an inquiry from department of labor, so they would all be aware of it. 


Why do we persist in setting up companies to be torn down when there is no reason for it.  If a company is suspect, then give the name of the company, don't give big hints that cover at least 5 companies, 4 of which may be the best companies to work for, but fall into the category of an alphabetical letter, etc.
