Convicted felon wants drugs
How's this....I just wrote a report where I had to look up the patient's name on Google for spelling purposes and found a document from within the year stating that he was appealing (and lost) his conviction on four counts of obtaining illegal prescription narcotics. At the end of the report, the doctor states that the patient went back to his primary care physician stating that THIS doctor said he could have Dilaudid for two weeks. My doctor then stated that he did not feel comfortable treating this patient. Question: Should I tell my boss or this doctor about the patient's recent record? (And now he is, again, trying to obtain illegal drugs.) Or does this violate the privacy rules? Are illegal activities subject to the privacy rules? I know counselors always warn patients that they have to report any illegal activities should they disclose such. Now please don't slam me. It has been a long day and maybe the answer is obvious and I am just brain dead for the day.
Your post should be required reading for anyone wanting to do at-home MT to be with kids...SM
I just don't get why people think that just because MT *can* be done at home that it's appropriate to try to do it with babies or small children in your care. It's no different from any other kind of on-site job...you couldn't very well take a baby to any other kind of job, so why is MT any different? It's not, and I wish people (mostly women) would lose the notion that MT is a good option for them *just because* they happen to have little kids.

common sense tells me that you came across PUBLIC information on the internet highway and your doctor has a right to see public information WITHOUT a freaking signed consent form. another way to think of it: this is kind of like the thief who steals tires and then goes back to the tire dealership where he stole them cuz he stole the wrong size -- i.e., wants the "good guy" to do the "right thing" because he, the "bad guy" is "entitled" to this. give me a break. put your story on the 6 o'clock news and don't even give it a second thought. BTW, I am fully aware that the overly sensitive (to the criminals and their "rights") will twist this logical thinking around. go ahead - make your own day.
you know as couples go, angelina and billy bob were perfect skanks for each other. perfect!
i suspect they may get back together because they are both so skanky no one else can keep up. that is unless she decides she wants her brother more which is skankier.
Natalee's mother is convicted of nothing but very bad judgement.
Natalee's mother on the other hand with NO EVIDENCE is convicting three people on world-wide TV of murdering her daughter. She is WRONG and the Aruban people know it as does everyone else who gives her a pass. Someone should advise her but I am afraid Mrs. Twitty is a self-righteous fool who does not take advise and will continue to rant to get face time on TV. Maybe Mrs. Twitty should start helping the searchers or hire a private investigator herself and get off the TV saying foolish things and insulting a whole country because her idea of who is guilty CANNOT BE PROVEN.
having done a plethora of reports on the subject - there is a way out - become a felon - free medic
nm
Idaho case was botched in that a convicted sexual offender was out on the street to
kidnap this little girl and her younger brother. This is what the Arubans were protesting when people are saying they botched a case when this stuff happens in America.
If I expect perfection from my spouse, that must mean
I am perfect myself. I don't know of anyone who is perfect. I am not so judgmental of people that I expect them to never have bad days and never express frustration, or else the relationship is over. I'm sure there have been plenty of days in the past 20 years that we've known each other when I've annoyed him to no end. Sometimes intentionally.... LOL
Why do they expect perfection for pennies?...
When you work on production to make a decent check you have to push it, and you have all these horrible accents, why, then, do they expect miracles? Maybe if I had an hourly salary.
perfection for 8 cents per line
Think we need a union?
Yes, but this time it's different. I'm focusing on progress, not perfection.
I've already reduced my cholesterol by 50. I changed my diet to reduce sugar, refined carbs and hydrogenated oils. I increased fiber, lean proteins and vegetables. I quit smoking and haven't gained any weight since doing that, although my doctor told me I'd put on about 35 pounds. No way! He said I shouldn't be worried about dieting and exercise while I'm craving cigarettes, but I'm not craving at all. Cold turkey, never looked back. DH is going to start exercising with me this weekend. We're going to walk and bike ride together. We got a second exercise bike to ride together indoors for bad weather. (I love yard sales!) My goal is to compete in a mini marathon next summer. Losing 35 pounds would be a nice added bonus, too.
true, by training the VR system to perfection we
are rendered obsolete.
Yes, I've tried it. It's very sweet, almost too sweet. sm
And it does cost a little more, but I should really use that for my coffee. Thanks for reminding me!
How much do you make hourly if you relisten. What type of perfection are you looking for?
I mean I listen very carefully as I go along and address issues as I go. If I took the time to relisten, I would make half of what I make right now and I can't afford that as a production transcriber. Seriously if you relisten, what is your hourly wage to produce a report considering all things.
Are you wanting to know what it says?

That is not at all what I was wanting!!!
I came here for honest advice...positive and negative. I got that...and I am very glad for both views. Now it is just up to me to decide.
I have never expected to just graduate and make BIG money....I have NEVER said that or thought that. It is very obvious that most MT's don't get rich. Like I have already said...I am looking to supplement my husbands income....and I came here to ask all of you your opinions on the business....good and bad. That is all.
And thanks to everyone for that!!!!! I am sorry that a lot of you are getting discouraged about the MT business...It is worrying me too! Which is why I may not even spend the money to go to school. I have a lot of time to think about it....and that is what I will do!!!!!
Why are they wanting you to take it??
Will it mean an increase in your pay? If not, I would not waste my money. I was a CMT for 15 years (15 years ago). In the part of the country I lived then, it made a difference -- we were paid another 1 cpl, but once I moved back to the south central part of the US, nobody cared.
Now that's sweet!
You're raising a good bunch of kids! As an Air Force mother, I say thank you for thinking of our boys!! Tell your girls how much it means to us. 
That was so sweet of you. Again, I am so sorry
for all this pain, and so sorry for your sons. Absolutely horrifying experience, and absolutely no other way to word it.  But, time does help. I know that's so corny, but it does. I understand crushing pain. I have 2 way older siblings. My Mom had me after she thought she had menopause - a late in life baby? Well, my siblings were so jealous of me since my conception, I guess. Long story short, it was like we were 2 separate families, but I was the one who stayed close by and took care of my parents when they were elderly. One day my mom had a stroke and was taken to the hospital. Did my Dad call me? No. First time in his life he went to the older 2. They had planned this, or plotted it, and told my Dad NOT to call me. No reason, just don't. He is very old and feeble in his 90s, so he obeyed them. Long story short, my mom died a hideous death - her primary said she would have recovered probably back to 80%, but my siblings wanted her dead. They refused all supportive care and they shipped her to a nursing home. MY FRIENDS worked at the hospital, and I'm surprised I didn't transcribe her report, as its my account, too. But nobody could call me do to HIPPA. In the meanwhile, when I spoke to my Dad, he just acted like my mom was resting and all was fine. My sister gladly called me, all giggling, when my mom was dead and even CREMATED. Not my mom's wishes. She never had a funeral even, no obituary. And she was a nice mom. Did not deserve that. At least she had a plot, and some stranger with a shovel buried her sometime in the winter - 3 months after her death. Wow! All this to say, I know pain and shock as well, and time does heal. I was in a shock-like state for about a year, and then it started to clear. Now its been 5 years, and I can talk about it. So, talk, talk, talk. Its good to talk about it. And, yes, my husband and I have had very dear friends and relatives take their own lives. Over 20 years ago now, and its still sad, but not as painful. One thing for sure - I will always be thinking about you guys, and wishing you well.
How sweet!!
When we got "Lolli," our Pomeranian, she weighed a mere 1.25 pounds. Just a black puff of fir and the sweetest little thing. The vet told us to feed her Gerber baby food, which we did. I used to love to get her all the beef, chicken, and veal dishes, with the little chicken sticks and blueberry buckle for dessert! Boy did that little girl like to chow down!
But chicuhas's (sp) are my FAVORITE little dog. I used to have a precious female short-haired teacup whom I named Consuela Conchita D'Alfina. What a baby!
wow, that is sweet! (nm)

Sweet!
KS and TM, you are both very sweet.....
I was actually so upset by the posters below that I broke out in hives!!! Can you imagine???
I have been struggling to switch to Word from DQS and Word Perfect. I have been reading Windows for Dummies. I have been searching through the Word Help Index, etc., etc. I have been struggling to make some kind of line count that adds up to over $7 an hour during this "learning" process. I thought for sure I could post a quick question and get a short and quick answer to help me along but I guess not. The last thing I needed today was someone trying to teach me to fish or trying to teach me how to do proper research. I KNOW how to research, it was not working for me fast enough, and I just needed a quick short cut.
I do believe * what comes around..... * and I believe you two will get good things in short order.
BTW, the short, to the point instructions JAM emailed me - i have been using over and over this evening and have been saved SO MUCH time and aggravation, as opposed to Ctl-Delete for every word I want removed! Blessings on her/him also.
See URL. This is sweet.

I have a lady doc who always ends with "have a blessed day." I think it's nice.
Sweet!
I've been holding off getting one until I had confirmation that one actually worked! :-)

Wow, that's so sweet of you!
I wish I could apply for unemployment but independent contractors don't qualify. My status was IC for the past four years. Hope you find something soon, too! I did wind up going back to school to become a teacher, but I still need a steady income until I graduate in a year. Something will kick loose soon.
yes she is sweet, isn't she?
change of pace from the arguments
Thank you, how sweet!
It is now 9:15 and system still down. I hope it's not going to be much longer . . . . . .
wanting to know more about Transcend.
I have been curious about them as well because I have thought of applying to work for them. I am with a company now but feel I need to make a change for the better. It is a small company and I feel I need to be somewhere else. I just was not sure about the company. I would welcome any input on this matter

Not wanting to start a war but sm
it just really gets old reading the same ole, same ole about SS. As far as I'm personally concerned, there are usually 2 sides to every story. If I happened to be in SS's shoes, I believe I'd be talking to a lawyer about something called "slander" and I'd be telling some folks to put up the proof or shut up. Nope, I don't work for SS, never have and probably never will. If I happened to be in the market for a new job, I believe I would give them a try just to see if they're really that bad. If they were......well, I'd move right along.
wanting to go digital
and I am totally clueless! Had a call from a cardio group today and they want to send me transcription via WAV files, guessing I need a WAV pedal?? HELP
Also, I am tired of the old tapes and want to "go digital" I have heard of 800#'s for a call in system, but dont know of any websites. Any help is much appreciated!!
TIA,
sunnyMT
They OFFSHORE and are wanting to do even more.
Pay not that good. I have 20 years' experience in acute care, can do ESLs and was only offered 8 cpl.
Just wanting to know if any IT users
would care to share tips on getting started with Instant Text, especially the best way to go about customizing the glossaries . . . just received my IT and I'm anxious to get going, but it does seem that there is a learning curve and takes some getting used to.
Thanks to all!
Re: wanting to work MT
Check w/ Diskriter. They have at least one account for a hospital in Florida. I have been w/ them for 1 1/2 years, plenty of work and OT. Hired in as hospital employee.
wanting to go digital
I have had my own transcription service for several years now. All of my doctors are local and everything is dictated on microcassettes. I am looking into going digital and I have heard that there are phone in services that you can go through for a charge every month. Does anyone know who would be a good service to use or how this works? If anyone has any info on this I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks!
I have been wanting to rant too
When they start talking before the system is recording. Is it REALLY so difficult to turn it on BEFORE you talk?
Not wanting to work
I know this happens at every company, but why is it that when the work is there, nobody wants to get it done but when work is slow, they are always the first to complain? Do they not realize that by letting it be late that they are harming the company and could eventually lose their jobs? Or is it just Spring Fever? Anyone else going through this at the moment?
wanting to go digital
Please send me information on how to go digital.
Thanks,
Cheryl

No, you are not required to do this. (see m)
However, be sure to deduct the portion of your electric bill, heating bill, et cetera that apply to the square footage of your office. These will not trigger any depreciation reclamation on sale.
The only way you get into trouble on selling the home is if you have deducted a portion of the mortgage payment as a business expense. That's the only time depreciation would enter the equation. Stay away from that and you will have no problems.
IC not required
Also not required if hiring an IC. You can get your own private disability insurance. Some business insurance will also cover this for sole proprietorships.
I am required to have one. sm
The county that I live in requires me to have a business license since I am an IC and considered self-employed. Doesn't cost much and is tax deductible.

Yes it is required
Believe me or don't. I really do not care. I didn't post here to be burned at the stake. I was asking for opinions and I am sorry that I did. I cannot change doctors as our insurance states where we must go and we have few choices.
I saw a very sweet documentary....
the other night about chickens. One of the segments was about a man who had installed about 250 roosters on his property, presumably for cock fighting. Anyway the racket the roosters made all throughout the day was deafening and driving his neighbors (none too close, as this was a rural area in Ohio I think). Finally all the residents of this area took the guy to court and got a court order for him to remove the roosters. Maybe a lawsuit is the way to get rid of the yapping dog problem!
awww!! How sweet! (sm)
I only wish I would write half as eloquent a post praising good QA personnel.
I work on a platform now where I can easily and quickly go back and listen to my blanks after completing the report just to see if they are any more clear. It's incredible what I can actually fill in on some of the more difficult dictators when I'm at the end and the voice characteristics are more familiar. However, before this platform, who knows what kind of blanks I left!!
I'm sure QA likes me more now LOL.
You are very kind to take the time to post this. We all appreciate it!
If it makes you feel any better, I'm starting a long night/morning shift in ESL-land! ;-)
Thank you again!
That was really sweet, Wannie.

Kids are sweet!
Three of my grandkids were here to spend a week with us. They are ages 9, 6, and 4. I had forgotten how earnest they are at that age, how sweet & sincere. They argued over who got to help me open the gate to our driveway when we went out (we live in the boonies). We ended up taking turns.
A conversation with the 6 y/o: "Grandma? This is funny, right? You know James? In my class? He brought Cheetos and I brought Fritos. Get it? Cheetos & Fritos? That's funny, right?"
I am trying to enjoy them as much as I can before they get to that teenage, who-wants-to-go-to-grandma's phase.
