bilirubin in urine or urobilinogen, but if she spells it out, you might want to type what she dictated and then flag it or send to QA for them to decide. 

My biggest venture before my daughter became pregnant with twin girls was a ripple stitch baby blanket. No problem there, right?

I decided to do a a layette including little teeny sweaters for each.  The directions were a mess when I got to the sweater sleeves so I just put the directions up and went by instinct (as in, how would you expect it to look). The sleeves actually came out slightly belled on the bottom but the sweaters were adorable.

Keep in mind that crocheted is never as smooth as knitted. I can't knit because I am severely right hand dominant and my left hand holds the knitting needle and says HUH? :)

If wrong sides together don't look right, do as the poster below said, rip it out and try it the other way.

As my mom always used to say about sewing:  "As ye sew, so shall ye rip."

In defense of the North and South directions.  In the state I grew up in, you did not use directions of N, S, E or W.  It was you turn right or left.  I to this day do not know N, S, E, W when I an trying to find directions.  I have to tell people to tell me right or left, and I am no dummy.  I went to 3 years of college to get my degree in Medical Technology.  Please do not ask me what state, as I love that state, even though I had to move from there, and I don't want it bashed.

In Windows, how do I check my computer's IP address or physical (aka MAC) address?

Windows NT, 2000, and XP

To see what IP address, default gateway, and subnet mask your computer is using:

1. Click the Start button and select All Programs (XP) or Programs (NT and 2000).
   
   
   
2. Select Accessories, then Command Prompt (2000 and XP), or Command Prompt (NT).
   
   
   
3. At the command prompt, enter: ipconfig
   
4. To close the command prompt, enter: exit

For other IP information on Windows, including the physical address, at the command prompt, enter:

This will give you information regarding your computer's TCP/IP setup, including:

Host name
DNS servers
Physical address
IP address
Subnet mask
Default gateway
WINS servers

The IP address will be a series of numbers following the pattern xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, for example, 156.56.27.32.

The physical address, which many people call the MAC address, will be a series of six hexadecimal number pairs following the pattern xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, for example, 00-40-A4-F3-C0-01.

Note: If you have more than one active network adapter, you will see multiple entries here. Many laptop users nowadays have at least two adapters: one for the regular Ethernet adapter, and one for the wireless 802.11b or 802.11g card. Some computers will have three entries or more (for example, for either an infrared or a Bluetooth adapter). Sometimes it's easy to distinguish between the two (for example, one of them will say "wireless" next to "Description:"), but other times it's not (the description will give only a manufacturer and model). You may have to consult the manufacturer's documentation for your computer to tell which section of the ipconfig/all | more output refers to which network adapter.

Windows XP, without using the command prompt

Alternatively, in Windows XP, if you want to find this information and want to stay within the graphic user interface, or for any reason do not want to use DOS commands, you can find this information by doing the following:

1. Right-click the My Network Places icon, and then select Properties.
   
   
   
2. Double-click the Local Area Connection icon. Occasionally, there will be a number on the end (e.g., Local Area Connection 2); it depends on your computer's configuration. If you are looking for the MAC address for a wireless adapter, the icon will normally be named Wireless Network Connection.
   
   
   
3. Click the Support tab.
   
   
   
4. Click the Details... button.

The physical address (MAC address) and IP address will be listed in the window that appears.

Windows 95, 98, and Me

To check your computer's IP address or physical address, follow the steps below:

1. Click the Start button and select Run... .
   
   
   
2. Type winipcfg and click OK.
   
   
   
3. From the drop-down menu, select the adapter being used for your connection:
   
   
   
   
   
   • Select PPP Adapter if you're dialing in.
     
     
   • Select the Ethernet adapter if you're connected to a LAN or a broadband connection.
     
     
   • Select the wireless adapter if you're connected via wireless.

The IP address will appear in its labeled field. The MAC address will appear in a field labeled Adapter Address.

Alternatively, you may follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button and select Settings, then Control Panel.
   
   
   
2. Double-click Network. Select TCP/IP, then click Properties.

The IP address appears under the IP Address page tab.

Note: If you are using Dial-up Networking (i.e., PPP) or DHCP (campus housing at Indiana University Bloomington uses DHCP), the IP address is dynamically assigned by the terminal server, and Obtain an IP address automatically should be selected.

Note: You can use the Get Connected web site to register your Windows XP Professional, Windows XP Home, Windows Vista, or Mac OS X (10.3 and later) computer to use the IU network in campus housing. Computers running Windows 2000 or Linux, as well as game consoles, must be manually registered. For help, contact the UITS Support Center at IUB by calling 812-855-6789 or at IUPUI by calling 317-274-4357. You cannot register Windows 95, 98, or Me on the IU network in campus housing.

Once the Macro is in place, you can add it to your toolbar by right clicking on the toolbar you want it to appear on. Choose customize (bottom of menu). Click on the Command tab and choose Macros from the left-hand side of the box. Find Normal.NewMacros.GetLineStrictCount from the right-hand side of the box. Left mouse click on that macro one time and hold the button down. Drag the command to the toolbar in the location where you want it to be. You should now see a large box with the entire name of the macro inside. Right click on that box for the drop-down menu to change the appearance of that button and you're in business.

what I dont' know, I make it a point to learn. I've gotten more than 1 "critical" error from QA stating that I had misspelled a medical term or drug, only to prove that I was correct and QA was wrong. Not to offend any QA'ers, but if you're going to correct someone else's work, you'd better know your stuff.

The one error was even spelled incorrectly by the neurologist dictating: olivopontine cerebellar degeneration. He spelled it out as "oliGopontine", but I spelled it according to Stedman's and proved both him and QA wrong.

Boy, were their faces red! My point wasn't to embarrass anyone, it was to type the report correctly. Spelling is important. We have enough other factors to squelch our line count. If there's anything I can do on my part to bring it up, why not?

it in my Expander program, so I can continue typing b.i.d.  I don't have to think about do I or don't I.  Same with contractions - put shouldn't in my expander and if I go into auto drive mode I don't have to worry about missing it.

I have 20 years of experience.  I haven't worked for many companies, but I've had several accounts.  One says do this, the other one is don't differently, and then there is the verbatim, but it isn't really verbatim because we still have to clean it up a bit.   It is hard to switch, plus there alwasy seem to be little things no one has mentioned and isn't in account specifics, etc.  I just got off of 100% QA (4 days), but I felt like I would never get off 100% because it seemed QA found something in almost every report.  It just may be a comma that was/wasn't needed, but it was something. 

I also make me a sticky note and put it where I will see it easily when they make a new change.  It takes me maybe 3 days and then I've got it and can toss the sticky. 

The patient states his pain is not worsened by anything nor it is aleved by anything.

I checked dictionary.  What am I looking for?  Thanks for helping!!!!!

slang like that.  Saturating is the correct word - however, if your QA people say different, then ask them to document it.  I defy them to do it!!
