Check out this site for natural hormone replacement.  www.womensinternational.com (There isn't anything international about this pharmacy - in Arizona).  Anyway, you can learn about natural hormones here, get referrals and books and just some really good information. 

p.s.  I get my hormones through a naturopathic doc (ND), but some holistic docs (MD) give them out too.    

no other job I could do where I could have made the money I am making without a college degree.  Yep, I started out with low pay.  Instead of whining about it, I got a lot of experience under my belt, worked in a hospital for quite a few years and learned MT inside and out, can transcribe any speciality and any type of report, and now I am reaping the benefits.  You reap what you sow.  Complaining never helped anyone get ahead.  Hard work and a willingness to do whatever it takes does.  I am living proof, as are many of my MT colleagues.  I was never one to complain, I just took what was available, worked hard and learned everything I could, and look for the next opportunity that offered more pay and through the years have gone from about $6 an hour to now a whole lot more.  I won't bother to say how much because you'd tell me I'm lying.  Fine with me if you don't believe me, but I now get 15 cpl (own accounts) and can transcribe 300+ lines per hour.  You do the math.  I didn't get here by whining about how bad I had it or how overworked and underpaid I was.  Even at $6 an hour I did my best and worked hard and I have been rewarded for that many times over.  I got valuable experience in those years working for a hospital for not much money.  I learned things I never could have learned working for a service.  Now it's paying off.

Some people are just not cut out to be MTs.  Maybe that's the case with some of you who are complaining.

you with a foot pedal?  Ask and see if they'll send you one.

One day I had to go to my local MQ office to have them look at my computer, and on my way out, they handed me a foot pedal for the "new upcoming platform."

Then when I received my computer rental in the mail a couple of months later, they sent me another foot pedal (same as the first one).  A back up?

And finally, when they trained me for the new platform a couple of months ago, the booklets, some new headphones, and a NEW PEDAL came in a nice box to me!

So anyway, as an owner of three foot pedals free from MQ, give 'em a try. 

You're responsible with your money. But if you're one to spend carelessly, you're going to wish you had a credit card if you need some major car repairs or something of that nature.

So I suppose the real "need" is simply having available cash when you need it (not want it).

I would put 32-year-old male, but no hyphen if it's something like *Patient is 32 years old.*  (Same with 11-pound weight loss vs pt has lost 11 pounds.)  I can't quote the rule on this offhand, but whatever the rule is, I personally I think the hyphens make it easier to read/understand. 

By the way, as of about 5 years ago, Wellstar was with a service.  They might not even have in-house MTs.  Hope so for  your sake :).
