John Lennon did NOT eat a placenta!
As he would say - rubbish.
Ugh - I have placenta brain already - I meant for my last baby :)

Why is it important to talk about placenta in reports
I'm not sure if I'm even on the right board for this. I rarely do OB reports, and maybe I should know this but I don't. Can someone tell me why it's important to talk about the placenta after a delivery. I even have someone who dictated the time the placenta was delivered. I understand what placenta is, but I'm not putting 2 and 2 together as to why its important that it's talked about. I'm just curious is all.
Oh there are placenta eaters everywhere, with hairy legs and armpits SM
and breast-feeding their kids till they're five. I didn't know John ate a placenta. That's gross to me. But you can't deny what his message was and I don't see how you could find fault with it because he wasn't just like you.
Yes, we idolize people who do drugs and serve placenta pate.

First ever delivery note
When doc says cord blood was collected, I put "quart of blood was collected".
It was not the subject matter, it was the delivery.
OPEN YOUR MIND is rude. I used to think like you did until I saw firsthand what all the closed businesses did to our town. It's not my way or the highway. I do see your point. It's a no-win situation. Walmart provides low paying jobs with lousy benefits where those workers used to have decent jobs with benefits elsewhere.
Do you charge for pickup/delivery? sm
Can I charge? If I do pickup/delivery, do you give them a 48-hour turnaround time or longer? Wanted to pick up 2 days a week, Tuesday and Thursday. Any suggestions would be helpful. Also need suggestions on what type of carrying case to put tapes to be HIPAA compliant. Any answers would be appreciated.
Re: Going rate for tape tx/delivery
The only advice I can offer, since I have never been in business for myself, is to state where you live. Rates can vary by region.
Anything more than a week for a norm delivery is too much, sm
C-section - I would say 2 weeks max. Anything more than this is "milking it."
Sounds like tape delivery sm
Do you still do tapes? I would like to do this, so there is hope. I am going to retire and want to offer such service to those docs who have not gone digital. Am I going backwards? Yes, but I would like the flexibility of a 48-hour turnaround and going back to what I used to do. I like it better, as I was totally in charge of my own destiny. Don't laugh, I loved it!!! As long as it's close by. I live in New England. I loved the one-on-one contact with the client, etc., and I was appreciated! Let me know if anyone is still doing this horse and buggy type work.
YES, if the pregnancy or delivery was complicated...nm

Me, too!! Also can't stand delivery notes. Bleah! nm

No DSL, no cable, not even mail delivery to house.
I live in an isolated pocket half a mile from county line where cable service ends. Even postal service is in town 3 miles away in the other county so no delivery to the house, though we can have a mailbox just across the line. Most cell phones don't work in this mountainous area. My son was able to use his new cell phone with bells and whistles if he sat outside on the deck. His service provided by Verizon.
Phone lines here are ancient. Dialup maxed at 26.6, and that was rare, usually 19.2. When I called the phone company a few years ago and asked about the future of DSL here, the guy actually laughed before saying, "It'll be while, and there will probably be new and better technology before then." Only choice is satellite. So far, it's been very good. I've had one or two brief periods of outage on heavily overcast rainy or snowy days, but overall pleased. I do keep a cheap dialup plan for those times as a backup.
Leftover delivery pizza from last night, heated in sm
microwave. Sausage, mushroom, fresh tomatoes. Such a good place I found locally. Can't resist them.
Day Labor/ Temp Agencies/pizza delivery
You only asked for meal advice.. I just wanted to tell you about these places in case you didn't know. Every city usually has several "day labor" companies. Your dh would have to arrive around 5-6 am, they would take him to a site all day. They usually pay the same day. He would need is license and ss card.
Most temp agencies have jobs immediately available too.
Another idea is to deliver pizza at night. He could still do real estate during the day. He would get cash right away. They pay for gas mileage, at least minimum wage, he would get tips, and PIZZA! :-)
okay, york hospital said they had delivery records, but no prenatal records. sm
they had no idea who she practiced with or anything like that and of course SIL doesn't know any name other than Freundel. i am also a midwife besides being an MT and in order for me to take her given her bicornuate uterus, i have to have her records. i guess delivery records is better than nothing, LOL, but i have to have her prenatal records. i wonder if there is a clinic there or something that med students rotate through. i couldn't even find ms. freundel on AMA, but she may not be through with her training yet either and that is probably why.
