Your son develops a rash and a fever and you swear he has Scarlet Fever! nm

Teething fever
My son used to get ear infections with teething. I'm not sure why, but maybe it had something to do with the swelling in his facial area blocking drainage. It also made for confusion if he tugged or held that area. It all looked the same.
when I was 12 I had my appendix out...I could not even walk...had a fever...

was vomiting bile.  The most painful memory was the doctor trying to lay me down on the table, and everytime he would try to straighten my legs out, I would sit up, when he would lay be down, my legs would go back up (haha), but I mean it was so painful the only position I wanted was a fetal one! 


If you have it, you would also have a fever, be vomiting bile.  Have you tried talking to the doctor, I mean, he told you it is not appendicitis, did he tell you what he thinks it is?  How 'bout going to an emergency care center (not an emergency room)?


Do you have a fever??  Gosh, hope you are going to be okay...


it is listed under fever, but the two words are

not interchangeable.


They made him lose 20 pounds for Saturday night fever, so he's always

not 100% effective for me and I went

That's one of the most effective things any MT (sm)
can do currently, and individually. Set a higher personal minimum than the shameful "national average", and stick to it. Every drop in the bucket counts. If US MTs (AND editors, by the way!)demand a fair wage, it won't matter how much work they think they can send offshore, if they can't get any quality workers to clean it up for them. Editors, you are totally being GYPPED! You not only have to know MT inside and out, but you have to sit there and stare at someone else's work, while listening to the doctors drone on and on. You're considered the last line of defense before the finished work goes off to the doc for a signature. You should be making MORE every year, not LESS! You, too, are putting yourselves *on sale* if you accept the paltry pay the nationals offer you.
I wondered if it would be effective
To train a voice recognition to your voice, listen to the dictation and just restate it into your VR. Seems if the software learns you well, there'd be very little keyboarding needed. No more carpal tunnel, and typing speed would be irrelevant.

Anyone use this method?
Wouldn't it be more effective....
if you did not mention the MT business.  I think the larger scale of things is more effective - 30 MILLION jobs, AT LEAST, and counting.  As I mentioned, that is the equivalent of the total population in 3 U.S. states!!  Talk about this hurting Uncle Sam's income.  I did not want to sound like a small group of typists who make no difference in the grand scheme of things.  Share your letter with us, will you?
As we all know, the only effective way to lose weight
is diet and exercise. I have tried MediFast, SlimFast, phentermine, all of them. In the end, the only that really worked and help maintain my figure is eating right and exercise, exercise and more exercise.

I always wanted the fast road to a "skinny" body, but guess way, the weight crept back on faster than I lost it. So, I decided to just eat right, limit fatty foods and carbs, and exercise. I joined a gym and go 3x a week. It really does stimulate you.

Good luck to you, but really none of those plans work unless you change your lifestyle.

I can't help with cost effective comparisons, but
C phone is basically a glorified telephone. It sends additional signals besides just your normal phone beeps. For example if the dictation system has a certain tone it requires for "next job" you can program your c-phone to match that, so that when you press the button, it gives you the next report. Your programming information you find with your phone, the system information you get from your work or client.

There are several brands of C-phones out there of varying affordability.

Hope that helps and apologies in advance if it's not what you're looking for. Good luck!
cost effective approach???

Okay, I am ready to start out with my own "company". I don't want the inconvenience of tapes yet the equipment to setup my own dial-up service is prohibitively expensive.  Does anyone provide cost effective services where I can offer a 800 dial up service?  OR, any rental options? Is anyone using this kind of service?  What does it cost? Thanks. 


I use Koss headphones. They are huge, but effective.

quality apparently isn't cost-effective,
so it's time for us all to be very afraid - not only for our jobs, but for the accuracy of our personal medical records and those of the people we love.

I thought I had a career for life, but I was so wrong.

Including refusing to work effective now? nm

I needed way too much SJW to take the edge off. Wasn't cost effective for me. nm

Your insurance benefits will be effective through the period of time you have paid them which...sm

could be the end of the week or the end of the month or the day that the company calls the insurance company to cancel them. You cannot depend on thinking if you quit in the middle of the month you will be covered through the end of the month. You have to find out exactly from your company. Also for COBRA benefits you are eligible for up to 18 months or perhaps longer in special circumstances but yes you have to pay the premium all by yourself, the company doesn't chip in at all. The plus side is you are still in a group plan. You cannot get individual insurance unless you have NOTHING at all wrong with you, no high blood pressure, no depression, nothing. It is very important to not have a lapse in coverage greater than 60 days. If you do, you will lose coverage for any preexisting conditions when you go to your next GROUP insurance (this is the other part of HIPAA - portability). If for example you are covered for high blood pressure and you don't choose COBRA and your insurance lapses for more than 60 days, when you get on the next group plan, they will not cover your high blood pressure M.D. visits or medications for up to 1 year.


You can get relatively cheep individual coverage if you choose a high deductible, to carry you through. That is, if you can get it. Good luck.


Most recent Consumer Reports magazine did an article about this. Most effective was hormone replac
.
Ginger ale. Ginger. It's proven effective for upset stomach.
You can buy a tummy tea or ginger/peppermint tea at the organic store. You can use powdered ginger if you have some in your cupboard. I just sprinkle a tiny bit on my finger and put it on my tongue. Even Mythbusters proved ginger was effective against motion sickness.

You are SO right -- do you believe I never visualized her in an apartment that was anything but covered in SNOW?  Just goes to show you how much I am able to relate to a sunny clime and take vacations there. (Not much.)  So Jodi, by all means, pay heed to the above poster -- who brought me back to the entire United States instead of the cold northeast where I was. 


OOPS sm

DUH on my part.  No, he was out at the bars that night (not unusually!!!) and came to the house about 3 a.m.  I said you cannot stay here!!!  (My husband was already gone).  He said can't I just go to sleep?  I said nope, not here!  He said he was going to sleep in his car and I said fine.  I haven't seen him since.  I guess I should have filled you in on that part also. 


 


As to him getting something out of this, I totally agree that would make sense.  I did talk to his sister about this (as this is something new for us in our 4 marraige) and she says that he has always been like that, wanting to help people out and having a hard time saying no (which that part I have seen).  I don't know.  I asked if they had "something going on" (which I was kidding, that would be a TOTAL SHOCK!!!) and that didn't make him too happy!!  Thank you guys again for all the support.  I truly feel like I am making the right decision and If my husband is going to stick up for a bum, then he is not the man I thought he was and I will be fine!!


oops!
I said I let my CMT expire after almost 10 years, actually it was almost 20 years. Oh well, the result is the same.
Oops!! Sorry! Can you believe I never
looked at that board as I thought it was those looking for work? ha!! Well, one thing for sure is that she shouldn't post on this board, right? Live and learn!! Think I'm gonna go browse job seekers!
oops
That should have been "paperclip"
oops!
I had a doc leave his dictating phone on, while he left the room, in the surgeon's lounge. I heard one very handsome, young doc tell the other docs that when he rubs Ben Gay on his 'boys', he goes crazy! I couldn't even look at the guy after that one !
Oops
I didn't mean previous emails. I meant previous posting!!!! Geesh. It's been a long day for me!
OOPS!!!
I meant "thread," not "threat!"  Hee-hee!  The supervisor didnt start a threat; she started a thread on the forum. 
Oops!
I forgot to change my name from my last post. This topic is confusing, but not very sad!!
