Esmarch bandage
Esmarch bandage is what i would say.
It is Esmarch bandage. The other posters are correct. nm`

All MTs should band together
and do something (not sure what) about this! This is a disgusting tragedy. I was averaging $19 to 20 per hour and now that our hospital uses that Cheating MQ program, I can't even get 13.50 and am ACTUALLY GETTING MORE REPORTS DONE WITH THE GREAT DQS PROGRAM!!

So, the hospital is getting much more work for much less money out of ME. This has to change! I'm looking, though.
Lap band
Attended a seminar in Fl, cost is about 18,000, most insurance will not pay. Recuperation time is much shorter, can go back to work in 2-3 days, lose about 2 lb a week, if you lose too much band is adjusted - after about 18 months you catch up with someone who has had gastric bypass because their weight loss is mostly in the beginning.

I think the name of the band was "Live".

I saw an infomercial (sp?) on LAP-BAND sm

surgery.  It sounds pretty interesting--a lot less invasive than gastric bypass surgery.


Has anyone here ever had it done?  I wonder how expensive it is since I'm sure most insurance companies won't pay for it and whether or not it really works.

Here's 2 facts- the Lap-Band.....sm

The risks of the Roux-en-Y include organ failure and death.


The risks of the Lap-Band do not include organ failure and death.


I type this everyday for 2 years now so the facts come from the professionals and not me. 


 


Lap band surgery
Has anyone had this surgery recently.  My insurance says it absolutely will not pay for this but the surgeon says he can get approval from any insurance company with his documentation, do you think this is possible?  Has any one had an insurance company say no and then authorize it later?
Get a belly band. They sell them on e-bay! sm
There is a thing called a belly band. Breeders use these for their males to prevent them from hiking in the house. It is a band that goes around their belly and you put a mini pad or panty liner to absorb the "wee wee" They are usually between $8 to 10 and are machine washable and you can get the mini pads or panty lines for about $1 per package. I used doggy diapers on my girl puppies when they were small and also when they are in heat. They work great! I especially used them when we went to stay at a relative's house and she had brand new carpet and my shih-tzu was just a baby and not yet potty trained. Hope this helps you. Just try searching the web or e-bay for belly bands or doggie diapers. For a male, you want a belly band.
The band is Fuel, the same Hemorrhage he did
was by them.   I just wish this stuff would go away.  Good Lord there at thousands of things more important like AIDS, world peace, hunger, genocide. 
I agree. When my DD was in school band, I was better SM
about remembering Memorial Day, as she has to march in several parades. Now, it just seems like it is another day for everyone to drink.
The #1 reason to wear an arm band.

My doc says "I did a rectal exam to make sure we had the right patient". 


There has to be an easier way.......


 


Rock band names (sm)
For medical terminology as band names, I've always been fond of:

Stable to Rock
and
Uterine Cry (Goth, I think)

Don't you have to have insurance to have the bypass surgery or the lap band? sm
It may take her more than 4 months to even get a start on checking into surgery.

My understanding is that you have to have exhausted all other weight-loss options before you can even THINK about surgery. Then you have to have psych eval, CPE, lab work etc. The BMI also plays a part as well as various co-morbidities. If she has until 2/2009, it may very well take that long just to get into a doc, surgeon, psych etc. and then the insurance company has to authorize it to boot.

Good luck Siren, I hope all works out well for you.
And I can become a nurse without training because I have experience in Band-Aid applications!! nm

The Band is awesome. Glad you bought the CD. Enjoy!!!!
:-)
This is a band new computer so I doubt it is full because if has a lot of memory so I am not sure
why I cant get into other boards or see them.
Just went out and bout The Band greatest hits and listening right now to the Weight.

I use a craft glove with an extra long wrist band
purchased at wal-mart and they help ALOT.
Possibly because gas could go up even further SM
Katrina affected many refineries. Gas prices are rising VERY quickly now, so people could be filling before it goes up even more.
This could quite possibly have been - sm

I've just had the worst and the most unproductive working day of my life.  After several days of not a heck of a lot of work, I sat down today hoping to make up some lines.  So my internet wigs out on me.  Cable guy comes, fixes problem, I'm back in business.  About 3 ridiculous family emergencies later (loads of sarcasm here), my phone goes on the charger and I ignore the constant ringing for 2 hours.  Since I work at home, everyone thinks I've got loads of time to chat. 


My SIL was kind enough to take my boys to the pool today.  I was so happy to know that I would have 4 hours of peace and quiet to be able to transcribe.  But since my internet was not working from right after they left until the moment they returned, that didn't happen.  My son comes home from the pool with bleeding and raw feet (Athlete's foot) that I have had no success at treating with the Tinactin the doctor told me to use.  So, I A&D his feet, put some socks on, back to work.  Then my youngest dumps a box of Cheezit crackers on the floor and decides he will walk on them until they are very finely crushed.  After an hour in the kitchen, I'm back to work.  Not for long though.  Older son decides he wants a bowl of coco krispies.  They also end up on the floor, scattered from one end to the other.  Then big brother decides to use his younger brother as his sketch board.  So I spend about 20 minutes trying to get pen off my little one's face. 


Please somebody, tell me I am not the only one with these problems.  I'm beginning to think the only time I will be able to work and actually accomplish something this summer will be if I work when my little monsters are sleeping, which means no sleep for me. 


 


Possibly...sm
Have you actually done an "Edit" when your cursor is in the patient name field on doc info screen? I'm not logged in right now, but I think you actually need to edit the patient info ... Of course, on some accounts we are not allowed to do this nor do we have privilege.
you cannot possibly
be the same person.
Ok, did as much as I could possibly do
this morning and my count was 690. That was with excellent dictators and hardly having to stop. Being told 1000 lph, in my opinion, is totally unrealistic.
What could they possibly do that would
cost that much money? Most places of that nature don't charge a fee, but rather are made up of volunteers & activists who work together to try to bring about change.
Possibly
cachectic?
Possibly
cachexia?
What bills could we possibly have?
That was exactly what one doctor said to me when he called wanting my services and I told him what my charge was. He was in a town 15-20 minutes away and since tapes were the "in" thing", I charged for picking up and delivery, minimal charge.

Well, he thought that was ridiculous and told me I didn't have any "expenses" associated with this job, so what was I charging him for other than doing the reports. BTW, he got my name and number from his partner in the office who thought my charges were more than reasonable and willing to pay for it to get what he called "great" service.

Of course, we have no expenses, we live free, not having to eat, buy gas, pay all the same bills they do. You know, the necessities of life!!!!!!

Go figure!!!
wow- someone please explain how that could possibly
or cheaper for that matter, I'm sure Arby's employees are not on the high end wage category!
Is there something wrong with that? Being possibly SM

pregnant and reading junk magazines in the grocery line? She's a person just like you and me. I read junk magazines waiting in line. How could you criticize her for that.


Now I didn't like to see Brad and Jennifer break up. But these stars don't belong to us. They are people, people who have to go to the grocery store, who may indeed possibly be pregnant, and may just have a tummy.


What a statement!


Possibly oblique?

Adhesion possibly
Lisa -- this is what I was writing about before. What you are describing sounds like a trigger point that needs to get resolved. The Chinese call trigger points "blocked energy channels." It could be trapped proteins or by-products of cellular metabolism or scar tissue (adhesion). A well-trained Rolfer or trigger point massage therapist could help here. That's what I meant by not just doing chiropractic alone without soft tissue/body work. The old saying, the knee bone is connected to the hip bone -- by way of muscles, tendons and ligaments. All need attention before it's too late like joint damage! If you're getting numbness, chances are you may have nerve impingement (no diagnosis here). Stretching without working out the trigger point just adds to the muscle flexion or extension problem that tightens around the nerves. If the muscles are out of proper position, so will the nerves in that area. A good resource for you would be a trigger point manual with locations of muscles (insertions points) so you can learn. My recommendation would be to see a qualified Rolfer/trigger point massage therapist to teach you how to help yourself.
Possibly tulips, though I only have a few of them!
Mostly I like anything blue or purple. Love cherry blossoms and also red bud trees.
This can't possibly be for a national as an IC???

Possibly losing my job due to VR...

I was told that the clinic I MT for is considering an expensive VR program.  The person that told me works for them too and said that it is about 98% accurate.  She also said it might be something I should consider in order for my IC business to grow.  Hello?  Why would I invest in something I know the medical field would pay for in substitution for hiring an MT?  She told me that this VR program costs about $4,000 but she did not know the product make.  Is there really a VR product that accurate for that amount of money?  If so, then I think it is time for me to get out before I am no longer needed.       


Possibly, but they are the exception,

Hmm, I had even thought about it possibly having an
upgrade, asked about that and the specs are not that specific so don't know about that. I thought upgrade because has gone from almost letter perfect to hardly anything right with it now.
Thanks for the information, that possibly
answered my questions. I know it was good at 1 time, same as you and now it is pure salad. I used to really love and now sorta gritting my teeth.
Sounds to me like you would possibly
fit into the category of at least making minimum wage. I would definitely go and check into that. As with IC no such luck but with your status go and let us know what transpires.
Can you tell me how long you have smoked? Your age possibly?
I am about to quit. Have stopped and started throughout my life. Quitting for a year a few times, for five years once (until I married a smoker). The recovery is wonderful, I recall. Food tastes so much better. And, there is the freedom of not having to have cigs, lighter and an ash tray with you at all times. And yes, you feel better (no one realized how ill one feels while smoking until they quit). This time, I am going to carry nicotine patches with me when I get the urge for nicotine which, I recall, strikes with a vengence when stressful situations arise.

Congratulations, my friend. I like the part where you can run a mile (I just joined a gym yesterday). I know life will be better all the way around. Not to mention the savings $-wise.

Stay focused. We must remember that the end result of cigs is possible lung CA, undoubtedly emphysema, COPD and eventually the need for oxygen supplementation. What a miserable way to end ones life - gasping for breath. (My mom is now on oxygen at the age of 74).

You are in my thoughts as I go about this quitting business for hopefully the very last time.


Need help on possibly homeschooling a 9th grader

Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!


Could I possibly talk with you through e-mail?
I have some important info regarding the panic attacks your son has had. I know all too well the situation.
scam or possibly truth? sm
My sister is on disability and has decided to return to college.  She received a phone call from somebody who told her that since she is on SSD and going back to school that she is eligible for a grant of $5000.  All she has to do is allow them to debit her checking account for $300 and she will receive the grant.  Sister was desperate financially, so decided to do it.  She borrowed the money from our mom and only after the fact told me about it.  I'm sure she has been scammed for $300.  Has anyone else had this happen and/or could I be right in this matter?  I'm curious to hear from anyone on this.  Thanks.
re: scam or possibly truth?
This sounds like many of the scams that are happening to the elderly and people on disabilty and the attorney generals from many states are trying to track down these scam artists. On a new station locally they had a story about this scam and the fact that if you are called, asked to give them money for a loan/grant/lottery winnings, etc to say no, write down the phone number or get the information from the person before they hang up. A lot of times the caller will hang up when asked scam concerned questions, and report it to your attorney general as soon as possible. A lot of times they cannot get the money back, but if this person travels from state to state doing this, sometimes they are caught, but usually without the money. Good luck. Just remember everyone if you are asked for money to receive anything that you know does not sound right, please say no, and never, ever give out your bank card number, etc. A woman in one state lost 70,000 to this type of scam until her daughter stepped in when she found out about it, but unfortunately did not get the money back.
Yes, he possibly just said the wrong thing.

LOL! Possibly my husband's cooking?
You should see some of my personal medical reports other people have transcribed. Jeesh, can I sue as a patient for such poorly transcribed reports? Thanks for the laugh...
