I have a newer computer, 1000 RAM memory? Will it allow more if I get more memory?

When I connect to my computer via camera or memory

Full Core means full CPR code.

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.
S-marked band Is this right???

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?
Possibly Esmarch band?
Google is a good resource for looking up terminology.
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.

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!!!!

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.

an alligator -
which is notoriously hungry - always wants to eat the larger number.

3 < 8 Alligator wants to eat the 8, so 3 is less than 8

Not enough memory....nm

ROFL! Thanks for the memory.
It was horrible at my last job.  The supervisor told us to never, ever touch the thermostat.  She'd sit in her office with a heating vent and get too hot, so she'd turn the heat down.  My cubicle was by the windows in the winter with subzero temperatures.  I was so cold that I had on my winter coat, gloves and a blanket.  Then in the summertime, it was too hot with the sun reflecting through the windows.  I used to climb up on my desk and change the thermostat anyway.  I loved ticking that woman off because she was such a shrew.  She was firing any employee who had more than 10 years of service because they were making too much money.  She could hire college grads with more technical skills at lower wages.  So much for not discriminating against people for their age.  The things she wrote them up for were asinine.
well, he did say he has diminished memory!

that's a memory buster

Off topic, but cute.

This was around the late 1980s ... my oldest was around 8 or 9 years of age. My parents, (now ex-) husband, and I were playing Trivial Pursuit. It was the Entertainment category. My daughter wanted to read the next question (about the TV show "Bonanza") and instead of saying Virginia she said vagina.

Pause and then four adults became unglued. And my daughter is just sitting there looking totally baffled ("What'd I say?)

"I'll explain it in about 10 years, sweetheart." 


and if you don't have a good memory?

how will you remember all of these abbreviations?

SmarType, Instant Text, Shorthand, ShortCut, and so forth all require some sort of memory retention. That's a fact. And using the Keystrokes book (which I have) doesn't help either. You can use all of the systems you want (including the abcz system), but when you're dealing with overlapping phrases that use the same letters, it STILL boils down to remembering things.

If your memory is not good, you're up that well-known creek. 


You can upgrade memory. 512 RAM is
better, 256 would be sufficient though.   In the car you would use the foot pedal same as at home.  Put it on the floorboard and push or use hot keys.   If you are going  to travel and work would need alternative ways to download - cell phone, WiFi, dial-up, etc.  I download before I go and use my cell phone to upload if I'm not somewhere where I have another option when I need to send in work.   You can use the laptop keyboard or figure a way to use an external keyboard depending on how much space you have. 
Can anyone refresh my memory....

in Windows XP, how can I see what programs are running automatically on startup?  I should know this, but for some reason my brain is not cooperating!


 


TIA!!


I don't think it will. But I can't say for sure. If memory serves, you can't have both pr
running simultaneously and switch back and forth, the pedal won't work or it will only work with one but not the other.  However, if you've configured your pedal in both programs, then it should work with each program separately.
Re: Memory problems
Even though you're only 39 it could hormonal. My doctor told me the eary stages of menopause can start in your late 30's and does affect your memory.
Memory problems...
In the last year or so, I have noticed I am having problems with my short-term memory.  Not just the usual walking into a room and wondering, "Now, why did I come in here?" although I do that, too.  My work space is in my basement and unless I write something down as soon as I think of it, by the time I walk up the stairs, it's gone.  I was at my GYN this spring and told her about it.  She tested my blood sugar and did a thyroid panel and they were fine.  I just turned 39, so I feel like I am too young for this.  I have no trouble remembering medical terms for work or with remembering things from years ago, it's just the day-to-day stuff that I feel I should be able to remember and just can't.  My husband just laughs but I am so frustrated! 
The memory showing says up to on
all of them, which means that is the maximum you can have, but you customize.  You can pick the cheapest one, but by the time you customize it, it can be $200 to $300 more.    I looked at them all and the processor speed is not that fast.  Depending on what programs you use it may be too slow.    I would get one with a faster processor speed.    You may also want to get a laptop with XP instead of Vista since there are still so many bugs with it. 
If memory serves
it'll be about $50 to $60 a month. When I changed my phone to business, I also had to upgrade my internet as I have internet through AT&T. If you have internet through another provider then you might not need to do that.
The eScription might use a lot of memory. Might need to

please refresh my memory
on how to get that foot pedal screen....i can't remember!
Don't you have a good memory!

I loved the Mirra trial chair--it was lumped out with all the bells and whistles, lots of places to fine tune things, and it has the best lumbar support of the two chairs.  The only thing I didn't care for was the seat was too small.  It confined my butt too much and so I felt a little cramped in it.  But, again, I'm 5' 10" and weigh 220 pounds, so I'm more of the size of a dude, maybe even bigger.


I've been sitting in the Aeron chair for just about a week now and it is so much more comfortable...for me.  My husband also likes the Aeron better, as he is stuck trying the Mirra this week and he wants the Aeron back. 


The only bummer is I can't really compare apples to apples, as the Mirra demo model is fully lumped out as you can get with custom ordering from that line.  The Aeron demo that we have is the stripped down version, the cheapest you can get from that line. 


But as it stands right now, if I had to pick one, it would be the Aeron, even if it is the stripped down model.  Also, the plastic back on the Mirra demo chair is all cracked and actually broken down the middle, as if it really can't withstand rigorous use or constantly leaning back in it. (see picture for close up)  The fella couldn't tell us how long it has been in use as a demo chair.  It looks about 10 years old at least...pukey green sort of color.  The adjustable arms on the Mirra, they not only go up and down but flair out or in...well they are super touchy and don't lock in that side to side position, so  if you push off the arms to get up out of the chair, they will click open and make you feel unstable as you are getting up out of the chair.  Not a big deal at all, but it would be nice if they locked.


So yeah, final vote from both of us is for the Aeron.  We are trying to get a demo of the Cella chair but they don't think they have one available.


 


Sounds like you need more memory n/m
x
Sometimes memory sticks can go bad. You may have
a couple sticks of RAM. Check your RAM usage.
storage vs memory
I think you have a basic lack of understanding of the difference between these two. Storing information won't slow down your computer unless you are constantly accessing it & your disk is really fragmented, & even then the difference might not be noticeable. Speed has to do with memory & processor speed, & photos or files stored on your computer don't have anything to do with this. Otherwise why would hard drives be equipped to handle 250, 500, 1000 GB (or more) of information? Processor speeds and amount of RAM have not increased proportionately. It's the RAM & processor speed you should be thinking about, not how many photos or videos you have. Memory is easy to add. Go to crucial.com.
How much free memory do you need, have both sm
Do not think my laptop is sufficient for large files involved - never thought of using it but would love to one day.
Is it their computer? Why are they installing a firewall and autocorrect on your computer? That sm
is usually the responsibility of the transcriptionist, especially if an IC or SE.  Which company?
The memory will refresh when you turn it off
so you have better computer performance.  Also, unless you have very good heat sinks in the machine, it is best to turn it off to let it cool down.  The temperature inside the machine is hotter than the Mojave desert in the middle of summer (and that's darned hot) and heat will do more damage to a computer than anything else.
