even with a DOCTOR performing the excision. I can't even imagine -- nor do I want to -- what your poor little guy went through. I'd tie your ex down and burn the soles of his feet to let him see how he likes it! Grr!
Okay, on a less violent note, I agree that your ex had no business taking this into his own hands. I would definitely get something in writing legally saying he can't do anything like this in the future. That's just horrific to me. I can't believe he actually thought this was a good idea!
I've had some experience over the years with plantar warts and will tell you that sometimes they even disappear on their own (my son and I both had a couple after a vacation that just went away on their own). The doctor only treated that one of mine because it had gotten too deep and was hurting when I walked. Otherwise, he would've used treatments, probably similar to what you're doing, and just monitored. I recommend getting something in writing because plantar warts usually will recur (not always) and your son may get another later after these are cleared. I'd be darn sure you have some kind of recourse if the "genius" tries this again.
I realize he thought he was doing a "good" thing for his son, but in any other circumstance, that would be considered abuse! Yikes! I hope your little guy is feeling better and that his foot heals up soon.

Poor baby . .
It it's from nerves try chamomile tea with honey. I think Celestial Seasonings Sleepy Time tea has chamomile. Maybe you could look into something homeopathic like Calms or Bach Flower Remedy like Rescue Remedy.
awwww poor baby
I am tired of here this and that -- your TRAINING shows obviously they did not train you in the "basic 4" If you even have a CLUE as to what that is -- number TWO get a jolb in a hospital - number THREE MAYBE become a CNA/CSM depending on where you live and get "hands on" patient care -- another aside -- my daughter, who has a 2 year old asked me about doing MT at home and I told her NOT to do it -- she has been working/school and her husband works -- she will be graduating in TWO weeks SUMMA CUM LAUDE -- look it up cause medicine as are a LOT of things are based in LATIN -- PHONICS and not "EBONICS" comes into play so learn
Now who is whining, "oh poor baby you have to scroll"
Whine to somebody else. MQ MTs who have been "taken" by this
company have no other option but to try to discussion and communicate
on such a web site. Nobody at MQ will be honest. And if you have to scroll
well so be it, you are in a far better situation than us MTs who are trying to
figure out how to get out of the hole MQ has put a lot of us in financially. Most
people by the way don't have the ability to just up and switch jobs. We have
bills, children, and it takes time to learn new accounts, new programs, buy new
things for new programs. remember? or are you so independently wealthy that
these things don't affect you?
Poor baby! I feel stressed just reading your thread. SM
I doubt anyone realizes going in just how very long it's going to take to become competent (after all, only nuts would apply), and the very long hard haul to even decent earnings is gruelling enough on its own.
Then to have to deal with all that! If you can't fix it (try) and decide you can't live with it, don't quit the industry--take the experience you've already invested in and look for a small operation to train further with, either local or on-line. I started with a small office owned and run by two sisters, lovely sweet women who made the amazing experience of struggling to get good enough to bring in minimum wage (!) endurable. Best wishes!
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. :)

poor, poor management
Line count stealing, no help, rude management, you name it SS has it if it is bad!!!!!!! Run, run, save your life.
I had a very very mean dad growing up,
by the laws today he'd have been in jail for abuse. Outside the home, people knew he was a rough guy, but he was a good guy, always helping people with their cars, not normally losing his temper, etc. As he aged, he mellowed. My oldest son know what an SOB grandpa could be. My youngest son (10 years difference) NEVER understood or believed when we all said how mean grandpa could be. Grandpa and my youngest son were best buddies. My dad passed away almost 5 years ago and it hurt really bad. He and I had become so close after he got over the mean stage and we spent a lot of time together. I was the one he counted on when he was ill to take him to the doctors or hospital, and he knew I'd do ABSOLUTELY anything for him. I even talked with him about salvation before he died, as I really wasn't sure and wanted to know for a fact that even though he was a good guy, that he was saved and going to Heaven. That was really important for me to be able to deal with his death. So, when he died, I did lose a friend as well as a father and my children their friend as well as grandpa. Life is short, life is tough, but God is good.
This is part of growing up
I believe they have to start making their own decisions at some point in their life and living with the consequences. Same as we all do. I'm not saying he will regret it or not regret it, one way or the other, but either way, it should be his decision. Take it easy, Mom. 
Growing Companies
Well I know of one company that I worked for an never paid. How do they get more business? Well they can undercut everyone else on the playing field because they get newbie MTs to do the work for free. They charge the doctors less per line and make nearly 100% profit. It is a win/win situation for the company. I do not believe doctors check these boards and look for negative feedback. They just go to the company who offers them the best deal, but that is just my thought on the subject . . .
Not dying, just growing!
First of all, HIPAA does not require EMR for all records by 2009. If that were the case, you would have known about it several years ago, because most physicians do not use EMR and have no plans to use EMR at this point. Most HOSPITALS don't use them, either. Even if they wanted to, there aren't that many viable products they could use!
He may be thinking of other HIPAA requirements which have affected his practice and which he doesn't like. HIPAA did require some privacy and security things which he no doubt found irritating. He now has a need to transmit his claims electronically, which probably annoys him.
I would guess that the concept of paying an MT annoys him, too, so he took it out on you by terrorizing you during your recent visit.
Second, nothing about an EMR means you can't dictate and transcribe.
If you're currently doing only small-office dictation, you might want to expand your capabilities so that you can do hospital acute care. I think that job prospects have been better there since internet-based voice file transfers became possible. There are a lot of jobs available with national services and even with large employers who will let you work from home.
Yes, and also what did HE do about the growing threat of islamofascism?

Hiring because they are growing, have some hard
left (with the company's blessing). Now they are much stronger and better and in my experience, the most professional company I have dealt with in 10 years.
No extensions..he's been growing out his hair
I've seen other pictures of him on some of his Unicef trips and he's been growing it out. I just wanna get my fingers in there...looks so silky and smooth.
No way. It's a huge wave that's just going to keep growing
s
the reason it is the fastest growing sm
industry is because of the schools out there selling MT training! The schools don't know what they are doing, they are just ripping prospective MTs off.
This profession will NEVER be something that can be learned totally in a classroom setting. If you go to school then you have to be willing to work in a facility for several years. you ahve to be willing to learn to transcribe any and everything and the worst of the worst before you EVER EVER go home to work especially on a production basis.
I don't care who it ticks off but at least it can't be said I didn't tell you the way it was.
The poster "hot pink" is telling it EXACTLY how it is but she words it better than I do. Im sorry for the folks who are losing their jobs (especially the MQ folks) to VR and India etc. But I think alot of the MQ employees used MQ as their very first job and didn't get the experience they really need. MQ should have been after you have worked for several years in a facility. With the training in every kind of work type and every foreign accent, etc. etc you wouldn't have a hard time finding a job now. They are still out there.
Whisperers. Ugh. I can do any accent thanks to growing up (sm)
with my mom who had a cleft palate AND a very strong Brooklyn accent! But why do they whisper? Like they are embarrassed someone might hear how badly they dictate? And why can't ESL's at least TRY to improve their speech pattern? Like the poster below who had the dictator making everything plural except when it really was plural, then suddenly it is singular. I mean come ON.
Good venting post Wannie.
Wow! You and I have a lot in common! Growing up in HI and having a Japanese grandmother who
practically raised me, I learned soo much on how to cook oriental and my "American" family loves it!
I can teach you all kinds of tricks - though you sound like you know most of them. Fried rice and fried noodles are super easy.
For anyone interested: Just boil 3-4 Ramen noodles for about 6-7 minutes. While that is cooking, combine 9-5-1
9 T of soy sauce
5 T sugar
1 teaspoon of fresh garlic
Mix all together. Mix may have too much sugar, in which case add more soy sauce or use less sugar.
Then add strained noodles to frying pan and the sauce - after stir frying for about 5 min. add frozen mixed veggies. You can also add a cooked meat such as chicken too! Family's fav.
Fried rice is super easy too. Cook 3-4 cups of white rice or brown rice. Let it sit overnight. When you are ready to fry them for lunch or dinner, use 2 T oil, 2-3 eggs scrambled and then cold rice - to this add approximately 5-6 T of soy sauce, cook, and then add frozen mixed veggies and fry for about 10 min.
I can make home-made sushi WITHOUT the raw fish and we love that. I can also make homemade beef broccoli.
I have tons of super easy oriental recipes. Cheaper too!
Neat sharing recipes like this...
We only have one go around in this life, don't spend it growing roots

The service area is limited, though growing.
I don't know if they are talking about WiFi or an Air Card. WiFi connectivity is cheap, but unless you live in a large city you'll find limited access. An Air Card (called different names depending on the company selling them) I then they start at about $249.00 and the fees are pretty hefty. Not sure how good it works though I've heard people who loved theirs and they traveled a lot and said they never were unable to get a signal.
It's the "fastest growing" industry in the THIRD WORLD,
And a low-paying one, at that, with few to no benefits.
Fast growing does not mean high paying nm
A lot of girls growing up with privilege like she had turned skank.
If your definition of skank is a female who is openly promiscuous with no regard for others, low morals, and is proud of it, there are a lot of them. Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchey, Britney Spears, Jessica Simpson (claims to be a religious girl -yeah right), Jenna Jamison, etc...there are a lot of them out there.
Considering all that you mentioned, the fact that the economy is growing is amazing. But,
f
Or.... how about the famous line "we're growing!!!"
and you see the same ad week after week after week after week. I can think of 3 places that continuously have ads out. I have worked all 3. I now know firsthand why they advertise all the time, they probably can't keep anybody more than a month or two.
Poor MT
Hi, Friend! Why do you assume all MTs are ladies? Isn't that a bit sexist? That aside, you should be the one who sets your rates. Do so in a very businesslike way. If they can't (or won't) afford you services, move on to someone who can. Good luck! Tom
Your Poor Son
I'm sorry that your son has to endure so much pain after what his father decided to try. I hope he doesn't have any further problems. My daughter had a very large plantar wart last year and had to get it burned off at the doctor's office. Thankfully it hasn't recurred. My neighbor's young daughter just had one and because of her age, the doctor told her to put duct tape on it. I thought it sounded really crazy, but it worked. It brought it right up to the surface after about a week. She would use an emory board to file off the dead skin around it and then she applied the one of those medicated pads on it for a few days and it popped right off.
All I can say is THAT'S SCARRY and POOR YOU!
Poor communication
I think it is very interesting and would make wonder why she was fired. Sounds to me like someone with poor management skills, who was communicating bad information as they were not happy in their job.
I have been typing operative reports on the DQS for over a year now. My office has never treated me like I am a "dime a dozen".
I agree with you on here, but why pay someone less because they are poor
than you pay someone that works for Public works. Why not give them a job at Public Works?
It's easier said than done.
If you think they are getting a lot on handouts, think again. They only get Tanif (if they have kids and dont get child support), food stamps up to I think 300 to 350 bucks (my family comsumes more), Medicaid (again if they have children), public housing (who in their right mind would want to live there).
These people are not living a life of the wealth. It is so little that they would want to go out and get a job.
I agree with you about making them work, but you cant give them slave wages either.
poor yuckster
you know why she had to become an MT don't you? She couldn't get hired working outside of her home because for one, employers refused to make the chairs customized to fit her fanny (too expensive) and also, the endless, sporadic combustion of her pimples was way to off putting to the public (bad for business). So, she had to become an MT and work in the safety of her home.
Poor Thing
Can you imagine waking up in the middle of the night with him curled up on your pillow, nose to nose with you??? Guess we shouldn't speak badly of the dead but since they embraced his ugliness I guess it's okay.
Oh, do I ever know how it feels to be poor at SM
Christmas. We had those years several times. But don't hock your wedding band. I know you were just kidding, right? Don't lose your priorities. If you have to, just TELL them. Really.
2-4 will make ya poor.
Your poor kids will be MTs for sure....they will have to be!
nm
Poor girl is right
I would hate to have to go without chocolate.
My poor mouse...
I'm surprised it's still going, as much as I use it out of frustration. I find myself grabbing it and patting it VERY HARD on the pad over and over and over again, all while saying something to the tune of, "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?"
Poor Katie
i bet after hours of labor not being allowed to go to a hospital and with a sock or something stuffed in her mouth to keep her quiet, Mrs. Cruise might be ready to realize that her husband, no matter how rich and famous, is a total wackadoodle! If she had any sense she would go find a good divorce lawyer and get out of there.
poor little kittie--sm
I am a cat lover too and my heart just aches for this one. Has Parveau (?) virus been ruled out??? I will pray for the little kitties health. take care.
You Poor Thing!
Rough day for you. I think we all have been there.
Make some time for yourself. QUICK!! If you can't take a whole day off, take 1/2 a day. If that won't work....take an hour. But do something for YOU. You deserve it. You need to recharge.
Good Luck.
You poor thing. sm
Dictators like that make me so angry I want to smack 'em!
It's probably a good thing most of us don't have direct contact with the dictators. You've heard of road rage? If we could get our hands on some of these worst-of-the-worst dictators there might be a new term: MT rage! (Or maybe *going MT* instead of *going postal.*) LOL
I'm kidding, of course. I'm not really suggesting violence. But I do sometimes wish I could at least get to tell them off in person, instead of doing it at home at my desk, where they can't hear me.
Hope the rest of your day is better.
Ah, so! Poor doc. Reminds me of one of my...sm
docs who butchers the English language. I called him on repeatedly spelling a term incorrectly (course rather than coarse) and he relied "I was a pre-vet major, not an English major!"
Sorry about the misunderstanding!
Poor grammar
I once had a doctor describing a patient on pain medications. She was wondering if it was safe to stay on them because she planned on becoming pregnant. Well, my doctor said "because she wants to have a kid." I typed because she wants to have a child. Kid? Okay did you really attend med school?
Ooh - your poor tummy!
That's a lot of acid to mix with an aspirin-containing product! Ouchy.
poor grammar
ARGHHHHHH!!! How can these kids spend thousands of dollars on college and med school and not be able to pronounce what the heck they are talking about? Left ventricular hypertrophy just became "verticlar". I can't even spell out how arthropathy came out. These aren't ESLs - these are good old American kids. Even seasoned docs often can't speak. How about isheemia? It isn't a speech impediment, either. They can't pronounce drugs, let alone spell them. The more I am around these folks, the more I believe in witch doctors, at least they can dance and chant at the same time. I still love this job but the quality (and I believe IQ) of some of the people going into medicine is sinking like the Titanic. I'm going to Starbucks. I need something besides Maxwell House this morning.
poor grammar
All of the accounts that I work on (major hospitals - no clinic notes) are verbatim accounts but complain if we don't correct the grammar. My company says, verbatim is verbatim. Talk to your inept and lazy dictators. And how about the females who dictate like they are practicing for phone sex? Spare me the breathiness toots. It may work on your colleagues but doesn't cut ________ with me. I've been doing this for 25 years and I can absolutely tell you the quality has gone down, down, down over the years and you can't blame no child left behind. Blame lazy students. Put the blame where it belongs. The first time a doctor tells me "I be fine" I'm outta there!!!
How sad for your poor dogs.
bark, I know something is going on. I would never, never, never put one of those on my babies. I consider that animal abuse. I feel sorry for your animals. Why don't you try one and see how you like it. You might have more compassion for your poor dogs.
Poor vision
That is funny!!!!
Poor dictators
I don't think the company gives a darn about how difficult some of these dictators are - it seems like they are so afraid of losing an account that they will not ask for anything that would help us.
Boy, am I having a bad day!
poor thing to really believe that is right
Doctors say and write lots of things that are not proper which is why Joint Commission adopted the Pharmacists' recommendation of dangerous abbreviations. It comes down to patient care, not trying to prove a point that a doctor or two write something that way. For the same reason it is dangerous to write Valium 5 1 daily, I will not use the two exposed numerals together in D5 0.25 normal saline.
Phyllis, if you are alive, thank you for educating me about normal saline and how to use it properly 15 years ago.
Hey New Yorker! I am a former Yorker myself growing up in Rome, NY! So, how is it UP there?? sm
Man, I sure do miss that place!!!! I graduated from high school in Rome, worked in Utica, shopped in Utica (Sangertown mall - ring a bell??) and basically have the GREATEST memories of that place. I then attended college in Syracuse where I lived for 3 years, met a guy from a military base in Watertown, NY, and left the area.
I'm remarried now (haha) and would absolutely love to bring my family up there - especially in the fall. I've been living in the south for over 10 years now and let me say this: THE LEAVES NEVER CHANGE COLOR DOWN HERE!! :( They turn ugly brown and then just fall on the ground the die!
My husband, who is from GA, has never left the area and has no desire to drive to upstate NY or VT where my grandparents live. My kids want to go really bad..
Anyways, I loved Syracuse and would love to come back one day.....
