This is a wild guess

Do you think he means the children's cartoon character "Pokemon"? Maybe the patient thinks they're real, or maybe it's how he describes his family.

Wild guess, but might get you closer

1.  of any murmurs.


2.  funduscopic exam


3.  Eyegrounds??


Wild guess-borrow a wireless?? Go to an open wirless and work from the car if you have to?
Where there's a will there's a way - keep asking and keep talking, someone will help you. Ask the company you work for to help you out here, perhaps they have a plan for you if they value your association.
wild life
Lets just leave the wild life alone, ya know?  *Man* has screwed enough up on this beautiful earth..Leave the wild life alone.
Wild stab
Assuming this is another MD who is reading a radiology report, I would expect he would say something along the lines of:

"Reviewing the CT scan, the current report demonstrates no free air or fluid, but the comment is really unchanged from previous CT scan."

That is just one possibility. Maybe if you are able to listen again, something will jump out at you.
remember when they used to have a wild card?
If you could bring somebody back with a wild card, who would it be?  I'd bring back Chris. 
I second that, Wild Blue works well (sm)
for me. Tried Hughes a few years back and it was awful but maybe they are improved now. Have had Wildblue for 2 years and it works pretty good.
Possibly Wild Blue?....sm
I don't live in Oregon, but am in rural western Washington. I know a few MTs who use Wild Blue and are happy with it, so that would be my only suggestion.

I did want to say that I have been using satellite for about three years now (a small local company), have been on no less than 4 different MT platforms, and never had any problems. Yes, satellite can be susceptible to extreme weather...but if you're in a rural area you're about as likely to have your power go out anyway in extreme weather!
Best of luck.
Pretty wild, I have not had really anything happen since my mom died 09/26/04 except how Jen became
diagnosed with her Wilms tumor.  The day prior to it she'd had her normal checkup and the doctor totally missed the tumor (hard to since it was huge, 15 x 11 x 5 cm...was not protruding though unless she was flat on her back and naked and then only a tiny bit), but felt if you palpated the abdomen. (Dr. cut my daughter's ear while trying to clean wax but failed to mention it to her what he was trying to do, messed up the rest of the exam since she was crying and freaked out from it)  The very next day after her check up though, she fell off the kiddie see-saw (18" fall).....my husband likes to think my mom pushed her off, which subsquently caused a blood vessel on the tumor to burst, which made her pee blood, which got me to get her to the doctor's, who proto found her tumor.  Had she not been diagnosed then, in the next week or so the tumor would have probably burst or spread or somehow not have been encapsulated anymore and things would have been a lot worse. So my mom helped her get treatment a lot earlier than she otherwise would have probably.  I thinks it's nice to think about it this way.
Wild Blue satellite internet

Anybody currently using Wild Blue satellite internet?  Any responses good or bad would be greatly appreciated.


Well, that's all folks. All gifts have been given. It's been a wild ride

Here is a great site and you can wild search
too if you can understand a portion of the name.

I also use WIld Blue and have no problems. Both my jobs are FTP, though.

My computer has gremlins! My mouse has gone wild. sm
Last night when I put my mouse over the "Start" button to shut down, it suddenly went crazy.  It began moving all over the desktop, things started popping up, it was like a wild animal!  I thought it was just a dirty mouse and cleaned it.  When I booted up this morning, the same thing happened.  Then it settled down, and it's working fine.  Now I'm not sure if it's the mouse or the computer.  I'm the same person who had the "wavy" screen yesterday.  Has anyone ever had this happen?  I'm getting paranoid, thinking maybe I have picked up some strange bug on the net.  Any advice appreciated.  Thanks so much for all the help.
not sure about you, but we have several wild animal care and education centers...
The best way to start is to volunteer.

We have like Messinger Woods and Hawk Creek around here, like animal sanctuaries, where they have owls, eagles, deer, all sort of animals they need to take care of. You can always visit one and ask questions. I would love that, too, only I can not get my boyfriend interested. I would love to even volunteer.

Sounds funny, but what about a zoo...same thing, you can volunteer at first, see if you like it, and I believe those positions offer decent pay...?
Only during the summer. Wild colored toe socks in winter.
;-D
Isn't that wild?!! At least a few people will be needed as MTs/editors in the years to come. nm
s
Yes, call your local vet, any vet, and ask for the wild rabbit rescuer in your area.
There is always someone nearly everywhere. If you can't find one, please write me and I'll search for someone for you if you're short on time.  They are so worth saving.  Mom might still be around. Let's hope so! 
Dilemma! Tomorrow is picture day and my 5 yo just went wild w/a jug of blue food coloring --

 


both hands and the entire lower half of his face are now bright, royal blue.. Will this wash off by morning???


I would let DD go with Habitat for Humanity or a church mission, but not that wild party stuff.
:+
Saute the innards with other veggies, wild rice, sun dried toms. then
s
Ours is in the regular food store with the brown, wild, and short grain rices, etc. nm
s
I'd ask the local authorities to tell the MTSO to stop sending THEM on a wild goose chase! 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).
would guess it is 14-17 cpl now...nm

I guess I'm not the only one....(nm)

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.

I guess what comes around goes around...
I hope they get sued and lose their $**!

I used work in-house for a local hospital for several years until it became apparent that the MTs were being weeded out. The Director of Medical Records, who has never transcribed a day in her life, had gone to a seminar promoting EMR as well as outsourcing companies to take over the hospital's transcription -- our jobs. She came back from the seminar all fired up with a plan to purchase the $500,000 software and outsource the work that she could, and get rid of her in-house and home MTs to avoid the extra overhead and expense that full-time employees incur. She was extremely evasive with us and sneaky about this until it became apparent to the others what she was up to. I, on the other hand, knew exactly what she was doing and got out before I gave her the satisfaction of getting rid of me. Last I heard, their good ole EMR was not doing what they wanted it to do because they failed to get the extra components to make it work sufficiently, which would have been another $500,000 according to her. Instead, she had the IT department working overtime to "create" software that would work with what she had already purchased and it just wasn't working correctly. HA!!! We MTs started dropping and quitting like flies. Now, she's in a mess because no one wants to work for her after pulling her stunt. No one trusts her.

Needless to say, it was very upsetting working with her, knowing that she was fully aware that I would be unemployed in a short time, while she remained very comfortable in her very nice, secure job that her doctor husband got for her in a deal to come to the area to work. It's all about politics here where I am located -- it's not what you know but who you know -- or better yet, WHO YOU DO (if you get my meaning).

It's all just ridiculous. The Medical Records Department was always in a complete mess. She was incompetent and it amazed me that she was allowed to keep her job.

I guess I was bitter, sure. I do hope to live to see the day that this Director of Medical Records gets what's coming to her because she is totally incompetent and has that area of the hospital in such a mess that I, myself, would be terrified if I had to be admitted to there.

Only if you guess at it, which is what too many MTs do.

Well, if I had to guess

I'd say this poster is the same person who sent me hate mail 20 minutes before posting this. I guess you told me! LOL!


Wow, I am sorry for you. It must be an absolutely miserable life, being such a mean and nasty troll. I'm just thankful that I'm not you.


I guess I should be expecting more hate mail now. I'll be sure to read that right away!


 


Thanks I guess, but (sm)

I was a nurse before becoming a MT, so I may have a little hands-on knowledge behind my belt, too.  I still don't know everything in the BOS by a long shot.  Maybe I just wanted to blow some money on a test. 


Ok, well, i guess
