She refers to other posts
in whichever one she is RUINING at that moment. Laura Bush, President Bush, WMD, Iraq, Katrina, doctors, who should be MTs, etc. Usually nothing she is saying in either post has much to do with what the thread is really about. She just always turns it around so that she can spread her negativity to as many threads as possible. I don't have time for this. Turning the 'puter off for the night. Hopefully I will still be allowed to post when I check back in tomorrow. LOL. I just had to say something. Thanks for agreeing ss!
Refers to 2 different processes?
I believe that we are actually talking about two different processes. Regarding the law about electronic medical records, I thought that referred to the push that all records be accessible electronically whether transcribed by a live person or not.
The other system is the point and click program, which is already in use in some doctor's offices, ERs, etc. I don't know if it's available for acute care reports, but I personally know of at least one doctor's office and one ER that uses it exclusively, with no live MTs or editors.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Refers to 2 different processes
One of our local clinics uses the point and click system. I was talking to a podiatrist about it and he said when he receives a patient's record it is a mess and about all it gives is a diagnosis. It is coming and I don't know anything we can do about it, but it is terrible. If the shoe was on the other foot, I don't think the doctors would like it very much!
A platform usually refers to the the program

Distance is a factor but box OP refers to sm
makes a difference as well. I have been in this house for 10 years, and while we are probably 2 miles at most down the "line," we are unable to get DSL because the equipment and lines to our house are old and outdated. We didn't even have caller ID until about 6 years ago when they finally updated the box for this area. We are on a dirt road and were told recently that they will not be putting in DSL here, and the only way we will get high-speed is if we see them laying fiberoptic cable. We thought we might get lucky a couple of years ago when they started putting in 1000 houses across from us, but with the housing bust, that has been derailed also. So for now, I will have to be happy with my Sprint EVDO service.
Who prefers VR and who refers straight typing? nm

802.11 refers to IEEE code section.
These are the people who write the specs for how wireless works. 802.11a is the first generation, 802.11b, second, etc. The latest, I believe, is now 802.11g. While speed is important, and improved in the newer generations, it's also important to know what protocol the router uses as some types are not compatible. Your best bet would be to read up on the subject online by trying a site like www.howstuffworks.com. Do a search for wireless networking.
*Ebonics* refers to the street slang, etc. (often heard in -sm
rap music, etc. Lots of white people, Hispanics, and even some Asians (all gangsta' wannabes) speak Ebonics as well. It's practically a second language in itself, so referring Ebonics-speakers to ESL isn't off the mark at all.
long shot; osteo meningeal synovial cyst maybe?

vertebral artery
If you are concerned, go ahead call. Be nice on the phone, but let them know you are concerned about the technologist mentioning not seeing the right vertebral artery and you don't mean to be a pest, but could that be important? They get calls like this all the time, and one of the nurses at his doctor's office may be able to put you at ease very quickly.
I don't think it would be right for an MT to speculate what a particular finding means. I can say that where I work doing radiology, any urgent findings are immediately called to the referring physician.
In general (and not in particular to this type of study), a missing anatomical part on a scan might be a normal variant or might be hard to see because of patient's particular body size/shape, or maybe the tech is just new. But you shouldn't worry yourself sick - call. If they can't tell you over the phone, maybe they will call your father sooner.
Stedman's Radiology has takeoff of artery, --sm
takeoff of vessel.
Yes, it would be LIMA--left internal mammary artery. nm

May-Thurner syndrome is compression of the left iliac vein by the artery crossing over it.

does anyone know if bone cancer is always..sm
metastatic or can cancer originate in the bone?
Here's a bone for you to chew on...
Just because a vet recommends something doesn't make it "safe" or acceptable... MANY vets recommend pig ears and other crapola like rawhide which is TERRIBLE for dogs. There are plenty of vets who know better on both of these "recommends"
As to where they can be bought, are you KIDDING? Since when have you known giant corporations that make money to CARE about whether or not a product is safe for animals OR humans?
Sure they care - to the point they won't be sued... but an UNeducated consumer is their BEST customer.
And by the way dogs don't "hate" per se... they FEAR. That said, if you think for a New York second your dog *likes* the collar, you are fooling yourself.
If you are SO SURE they aren't abuse, put the darn collar on and shock yourself. IF you still think it's just a fine way to treat an ANIMAL THAT HAS NO CONTROL over whether or not it has to wear a collar that causes *any amount* of pain, just keep on using and ABUSING your dog.
Dont believe her, she has a bone to pick and ....
does the same cut and paste over and over again, it gets rather boring.
It can originate in the bone, as in sarcoma

HEY, Throw this poor dog a bone?
I am a "newbie", been looking for MT opportunity with no luck. I would gladly take one of the jobs you didn't like, just for the experience......
At this time, I would just like a job doing Mt but beginning to think this was a mistake.....definitely must not be the same as it used to be.....
one time this happened with a chicken bone....
One time I had a fast food chicken sandwich (decades ago) and it felt like a tiny bone was stuck in a manner which you described. The store gave me a piece of soft white bread which immediately cleared the problem. Just thought I'd share that, just in a possible future case........
Glad you're feeling better from the event.....
I'd do a neutral sand/bone color because of the blue
I would never let a bone cruncher touch me. I used to work for chiropractors
and have seen the damage they can do. Personally, my choice is going to my wonderful acupuncturist. She is a chinese physician who performs a combination of acupuncture, magnetic heat, massage, and herbal application. Folks, acupuncture WORKS wonderfully for the treatment of sciatica and acupuncture has been performed in China for thousands of years successfully, so they must have been doing something right. One suggestion, make sure you find a GOOD acupuncturist. Believe me, you will know when you've found a good one. Good luck!
Not worth it if you work your fingers to the bone and then never get paid
Good luck
From one who worked for MQ nearly 18 years, no matter was MQ bone they throw out, I know with a full
Always has been, always will be.
Glad I'm not the only one.. My kids have had cystic fibrosis, leukemia, mono, and bone cancer.
