Someone is in la-la land and guess who?
Posted By: Misinformed on 2009-02-16
In Reply to: If that is the case, then I guess anyone with - breast CA is not allowed to drive. (NM)
The OP. PA registration called and they said no breast or gyn exams on license. I bet they were about as amused as I was asking the question but I like to hear for myself.

Same as on land
That is so funny as one year I had my aunt and uncle visit from NYC -- where I was born -- and they asked if I had power and sewer system, etc. And we are the same as you are on land. They about died when they walked to the walkway, looked down and saw 53 homes on the water, it is a awsome site when you are from a large city like NYC. I have cable TV, Comcast internet, the wires are in the concrete walkways. Before they built this new moorage we had wooden walkways and our power lines, etc. were overhead and they were dangerous. But they come undergrown from the street above and through the concrete walkways. Have natural gas heat. Portland has one of the largest number of floating homes as Seattle now has a moratoreum on building anymore. So our prices are rising finally. We are safer than normal homes near a river during a flood as we only go up, up up as we are hooked onto pilings on three sides of our houses. So we float upwards. Thanks for asking.

IT COULD LAND IN COURT SM
Sorry for the shouting, I also did legal and one of my reports from a service with my initials on it was evidence and they questioned the doc on the stand. They say the report belongs to the doc but who knows when this will change. Thank goodness I had nothing to do with it, but they did ask him where it was typed, by whom, the time and date. Some docs do doctor the date to cover their kiesta and that's a hard decision to make. If the case were serious enough, I would question it or send it back with a note and document that note and make a copy. Sorry to be so serious but I've been in this a long time and I've hear it all. Lots of CYA stuff goes on (cover your -ss)
If you are using a land line you don't really have
unlimited long distance, they cap it at 5000 minutes, which isn't enough if you work FT. You could get a prepaid card - I think at Sam's club they are about 3 cents minute. You can also use a company like (can't remember name, but has 10-10 in it) that is less than that. There may be other similar companies too.
Darned right - people are in la-la land
we're "refusing" to work? Rely on the kindness of strangers, or what? People really need to get a grip on reality here.
Did Discovery land safely?

HAHAHAHA - you must live in the land...sm

Ooooohhhh, Biltmore land! :)
Lucky you to be able to visit it so easily!
Hidee Ho! Dictation Land...
I have one doc who always says that before her dictations. It always makes me chuckle...then I wonder...where exactly is Dictation Land? LOL
don't remember land of the giants, but
I remember I just loved Gilligan's Island and Bewitched.
Is C-phone for land-line only?
Won't pretend I understand VOIP but I know its available with my broadband.
You are trying to land this digital account with
You should require they purchase their own recorders. That is only fair, but that is just my opinion. Let them know you need some help with the purchase of the recorders.
Land an account using your web site? sm
I'm setting up a web site to hopefully obtain clients. My question is if I get an account what can I do to be sure they pay me and I not get stiffed for doing work?
Was thinking about using BuyerZone or some other type of site to acquire payment from the client. If you have any suggestions, it would be greatly appreciated.
Wait to land the accounts first
Hi!
I say wait to land the accounts first before you think about what equipment to get. You basically want to use what your client is using, not make the client switch around to your set-up. Maybe others will say differently. But I figure you save $ that way by not getting unnecessary stuff.
Good luck!
BTW, I was just reading that self-employed folks really need to increase their fees once a year just to keep up with inflation. I think a lot of times MTs who are ICs for services forget that the service is their client, not their boss. ICs need to negotiate for the right line rate because remember, you are paying for a lot out of your own pocket now.

If you use dial-up then yes you need a land line - sm
But you don't have to have long distance at all. I have 2 lines in our house, one is the main line with unlimited LD through Verizon, my other line (also Verizon) is just a connection at about $30 a month, no long distance on that line. I have AT&T as my internet provider, though may change my package now as I have one of those 875U aircards (also with AT&T, but could have used Sprint or Verizon if I wanted to) and not sure if when I connect with that it has any bearing on my unlimited package with my dial-up, so I might as well save some money and scale back on that charge. We have no package deals. I have a TracFone, my DH has a company cell phone that they pay for/handle. Your situation sounds a bit screwy; I'd investigate getting either a better deal or seperating everything and see if that works better.
I need a land line and I need it now-suggetions?
I moved and I can't get a land line for (perhaps) another week. I've already lost a week's income because of the promblem (THANK YOU, CHARTER!!). I need a quick fix. I am open to any and all suggestions to getting set up on Friday with a land line or VoIP, even if it is with Vonage for a week until I get my land line phone to work with my DAC phone. I just moved into this apartment on Monday, but I let Charter know on 1/4 that the previous tenant had turned in her keys, but until she pays the outstanding balance -- heck, she probably hasn't even gotten her final bill yet!!!), they put a "freeze" on phone service. I got that unfrozen yesterday by going into their main local office with my lease agreement, but I have already lost a weeks' pay because of this and I need a quick fix. They installed my ISP and TV today. I REALLY need to work this weekend.
I am probably in real jeopordy of losing my job.
On top of this, when my son and his roommate came over last weekend to help me pack, they told me they had both lost their jobs to a family of Indians who had come in and bought out their store's owner. By our State's examination, only one passed the English literacy exam so she is the only only who can answer the phone. Since the 4 Indian brothers need the managers' positions and they bought 4 stores, 4 managers (my son any his roommate and 2 others) are out of jobs and another 25 or so have left because of the new managers' incompetence.
Please offer help in getting a land line so I can work. I am feeling so overwhelmed and it is hard to think with this kind of pressure. I'm thinking of installing Vonage's VoIP for a week until Charter can get their act together and I get their service. It's hard to reach other services like ATT when I don't have a phone to contact them. Charter changed their protocol for getting land lines last week (just my luck) and did not tell my installer/sales rep of the changes. They are telling the independent distributers it is because of having to reset 911. I call that baloney.
Can I get a cell phone? How would that connection fit together? OMG, I am so in panic mode. Please kick around some ideas so I don't have to start job hunting after 1 week after moving. 
Wow, you live in LALA land
You got I'm rich from my post-wow you are delusional. We live paycheck to paycheck like most of our friends and family, and yes we have health care coverage but over the years more and more of the cost of that had been switched to us rather than my husband's employer. And I know more than 5 people in Canada and Europe who hate their national healthcare coverage. Didn't know I needed to list them all. Go back to lala land.
If it weren't for needing a land line for DSL
My cell phone is my primary phone and I have more minutes and free long distance than I can use per month. I got basic phone services and locked it from any LD calls to save money and my land line still costs $30 a month. I feel I'm wasting that money but there isn't anything I can do. I won't drop my cell phone because I have my kids on as extra lines and they wouldn't have a phone otherwise.
Wanting to land my own local account
I am currently working part time IC for two different people, I have a little less than one year transcription exp, all in family practive or GI...I have been thinking about trying to get my own account locally but not sure about some of the "in's and out's". Those of you who do this, do you have someone who covers for you when you have to leave town? I have always had someone to QA my work, so if I do my own account and have a question(blank) do you call the office and ask or do you leave it blank? I am kinda back and forth w/ the idea, I know I would make more money, but not sure if I want ALL the responsibility.
No land line even? How far away from civilization will you be? Hospital?

7 years clinic experience and cannot land a job
Any suggestions?? I have 7 years clinic experience and am looking for work. Seems like I cannot get a response back to test or interview. I need a company that offers TAT, not set hours. I send in resumes and cover letters daily...What else could I do???
Also, in the meantime does anyone have suggestions on "practice files". I want to expand my skills/specialties. I have not done radiology and have always wanted to get into it...Thanks for any advice!
Yeah, what land are they living in? Copy the page indicated - sm
and fax it to them. Also ask then where in the book does it say "non Hodgkin lymphoma". Too weird.
Internet service without land-line phone
I recently looked into this subject myself. If you have Verizon available in your area, you can purchase a plan at about $55.00 per month with a two-year contract. You will receive a card that you can insert into your laptop, which will provide you with unlimited Internet access at the speed of DSL. As far as I know, there are no other cell service providers that have come up with this type of card yet, but I'm sure it's bound to happen in the future. Another option is to purchase a satellite telephone and phone cards as you go along, but the cards are really outrageous in price. One last thing that I would suggest is that you phone cell providers in your area to see if they have any technical gadgets you could attach to the cell phone for Internet access. Many of the satellite phone companies have separate packages you can buy, which can be attached to laptops or PDAs. I also have a TracPhone, so I know it does not come with hardware that will do the trick.
Good luck to you in setting everything up. With the way that technology is moving, I'm sure there must be a way to accomplish what you want.
If you have a cell phone, why not use that for your LD calls and CX the LD on the land line?

My aunt has extremely low rate for land, no frills but
I was told according to where you live- mine no frills over $30.00 a month but now say I can have a land phone, will not work, but still pay for it? Erks me.
Company states cannot use Vonage. Any suggestions for land line unlimited long distance? nm
If it's different for each report, my guess (only a guess)
would be no. I think the macro would work if it was the same each time, but not sure if it will if the documents are different each time.
then I guess it is just a
matter of process by elimination....Thanx for the info....
GUESS WHAT
The post right above mine ISNT ME!!!!! But she did capitalize in her post. OHHHHH. Could there be 2 of US????
Are you 19:13:49? Guess not! nm
LOL
guess not! nm
Well, I guess...
I simply can't afford to go! That and gas would ruin my budget...
Guess not.

Well, I guess you don't want more help. :) nm

I guess you are SM
just plain stupid and can't read. I have a job and make good money.
Plus that, I can afford to not work for peanuts and hold out for the better paying position because I have a lot more skills than just MT. First of all, I can read and understand the English language which you obviously cannot. AMF
Guess
AND ONLY YOU WOULD KNOW!
GUESS WHAT
A BIG FAT LOSER AS WELL!
My guess
My guess is that since you are the one who noticed, you are probably the one writing the nastygram posts - now you have someone to blame it on because of someone else's misfortune - I have power and I live in Florida, too bad the people who do not have power cannot respond to your rude remarks about the misfortunate.
I guess I am really different
I love OB-GYN most of all. Of course, I have had the same three docs for over 10 years and I have had the liberty of asking them to turn their recorders all the way up and they have obliged. They speak very loudly and clearly. Even after all these years, for some reason, I am not bored with the work. My female docs dictate normally two pages on every patient (my male doc dictates about half a page) so I get a lot of dictation and a lot of canned paragraphs to boot.
When I worked for a large national, I liked the Infectious Disease docs the best but I hated having over 100 dictators in several specialties.
I now work for a small MTSO (plus have my own OB account) and I have nine GI docs and I really enjoy it thus far.
to each their own I guess
I thought the bomb scene was totally realistic, how in the heck did they film that, unbelievable.
guess what I was asking was
how do others break into this? Is it usually done by word of mouth, answering ads, or your own marketing. But, Thx, I will take a look back a few days
Ah, yes, I guess there are...
those kinds of adapters. LOL, ''gender changer'' (rather a misnomer for the female-to-female and male-to-male ones, though, huh?).

Thanks, WeekendMT! Sticking with my homemade equalizer dealio for now, but this is good to know about (never heard of such a thing before).

Well, I guess somebody has to do it. (sm)
But it won't be me!
Guess you are right
not to feed the trolls. It is hard though, sometimes, when you see them ganging up on some poor innocent unsuspecting poster who just wanted to post what she was making for dinner that day and all of a sudden she is a target for rude abuse. It is not fair, and sometimes it is not easy to keep quiet. I am done for the day though, as they are dragging me down too. Can't win when they think they are right to be able to hurt someone else. Just glad I am not the only one that feels that way though. Thanks for your input. Keep reminding us not to feed the trolls...it may help. lol
guess we know what Mom would say
You made the income, you spent the income, you owe the taxes. Hopefully you are putting money aside to pay this year's taxes. I feel for you in a way but you gotta be disciplined and put money aside to pay your taxes. You can work out a payment plan with the state but why should they write yours off and not mine.
I guess I can see that for
in-house positions or people working with money. But I wonder why they would want that kind of information for someone strictly doing transcription at home. I've had credit card debt and even some collections in the past but not because of irresponsbility but because of illness, job loss, etc. I just think it'd be a shame for somebody with bills to not get a job they need and want so they can pay off those bills, just because they have those bills, KWIM? Thanks for responding!
Okay, I guess that's a little different.
If both of you are on a talking basis already, kind of different. I am just imaging one of my husband's exes, ha!
A ductogram, huh? I hope I never have to have one of those since you say they are so painful. I don't like getting anything done anymore though after the doctor messed me up so bad during my liver biopsy. If I see instruments of any kind, I automatically cringe. I had an IUD put in recently and thought I was going to have a panic attack because the nurse kept messing with those things beforehand.
Hope everything turned out alright for you! :)
To each their own, I guess :)
I do think it is quite ridiculous that God has been taken out of the Pledge of Allegiance, etc. I just guess I look for more practical solutions.
I think everyone should have a right to their religious beliefs, including Christians. To push everything out that has anything to do with God is going to the other extreme. Everything has to be so politically correct now, like the whole Happy Holidays thing.
I'm not into organized religion, but someone saying Merry Christmas or my kids hearing God in school is not offensive to me. God can mean many different things to different people. They both do things organized by churches sometimes. A parent should let their kid make their own decision, in my opinion.
However, we still need an overhaul of our mental health care system and school system for that matter. Those are practical solutions that will work now.
