Um, can be a sign of a number of things. sm

If he's always been a sweaty guy, then he just might have hyperhidrosis.  Or, if thie sweating is new, then he needs to get a physical examination.  New instances of sweating at night could be caused by an infection, some cancers, new medications like niacin or antidepressants, male hormonal disorders, even hypoglycemia.  But most of those things have other associated problems - like severe fatigue, for example. 

Or stress, like someone else said. 

That being said, since he says he feels healthy and thinks he has good energy with no fatigue and otherwise sleeps just fine, he just may be too hot, plain and simple.  Men often seem to generate heat like a furnace, (which is wonderful for us girls who freeze to death on cold winter nights), especially if they have a lot of body hair.  Lowering the air conditioner to 70 might be cool for the average person, but not cool enough for him - 100% plain cotton sheets and no comforter on his side of the bed. 

Really, he needs to make note of just how much water he is drinking, whether he is losing weight or having trouble maintaining it, and whether he is having to run to the bathroom a lot.  I mean, it's good to be drinking lots of fluids and one's urine should be the palest of yellows, but if he's having to go twice every hour then something's wrong.  If he's finding he needs to drink so much that he doesn't have enough room in his stomach to eat, then again, something is wrong. 

He could try eliminating caffeine, alcohol and sugar drinks and see if that helps.  If he's taking a multivitamin, check to see if there is niacin in it.  It is possible a slow-release multivitamin is releasing niacin in the middle of the night.  Niacin creates a significant hot flush and it will make you sweat - prolifically, until the body assimilates it.  Try a multivitamin without niacin.

But besides all of that, a physical check up is always the best way to put one's mind at ease. Is there any way he can get that done where it won't impact your insurance app/approval?

dictating from the noisiest place in the hospital - lots of beeping equipment and people laughing and talking in the background.

doctors who dictate while their kids are making noise in the background and they have to keeping stopping to tell them to be quiet.

slurred speech and doctors who sound like they are falling asleep and make me want to go to sleep too.

too much spelling.... once in a while it helps - but sometimes you wonder what word they are saying and then you figure out it's spelling.

Beyond that, I have no idea.

I went through training and am supposed to start soon. I got a phone call from someone named Elaine who said something about the CHW Mercy/Memorial account and gave me a 3658 extension. I called the MQ number I have and they said there is no one there by that name or extension.

Does anyone have a phone number for this person or know how I can reach her?

Thanks!

If you choose to block your call by either *67 or *69 (forget which one it is) and the nunmber your dialing does not accept blocked numbers and asks you to put your number in, you can put ANY number you choose in and the call will go through.

Did'nt know that one until one of my kids (figures) told me about it.  So it could be the new wave tool of solicitors/bill collectors or just other teens pulling pranks.

everything I post. I'll admit I've gone anonymous a few times, but it is rare. I'm just not going to do it. I stand behind anything I say - if it's wrong, then I made a mistake, I wasn't trying to hornswoggle anybody.

It is easy to see the culprit behind these MTs who can't make any money. You hear people talking about "platforms" and searching for demographics, etc. That's the problem.

I work for somebody for whom I am a source of income, not a cost center. The faster I am, the more we both make.

I do use my Expanders - a lot - and I've used the same shortcuts for years. But the main thing is that I work in Word without worrying about how some unit secretary is going to pull up the report I just typed. The company I work for isn't there to make sure the consultant on 4E can see the work quickly without shuffling papers. They're there to produce a fast and accurate medical record - period.

That other stuff is for the hospital to worry with, and the hospital I work for has some kind of system where my Word documents go in their system in batches. I wouldn't pretend to know what that is, LOL, but I'm not crippling along on a program that was designed for everybody but ME, and that's what happens at these big companies. They have to have a selling point, and that seems to be it.

"Here, let us do your transcription. Here's how it works. The MT types your report, it goes into the chart electronically. And the stuff is all there for the data miners, too, so everybody can like us!" This was true for Dictaphone, Lanier, everybody. They all had to have an angle for everybody in the hospital and the MT was left sucking hind teat, as we say out in the country.

Been there and done that and would only go back if I had absolutely no other choice. As much as I love this profession, I couldn't figure out why people gripe about not making money so much - and then I went to work for a national and found out real quick.  

I don't know what they are charging you but I talked to several before I went with Trinity Debt Management whose name was given to me by my church and they were the cheapest.  But I still ended up filing a Chapter 13 because of a divorce that cost me so much I could not pay the bills.  But I did start with them and they were very nice.  It cost $50 to start the program but their monthly maintenace fees were way cheaper than the other major ones I talked with.  Some wanted as much as $100 to $150 per month to manage my account that was a payment to a bill.  But I chose the Chapter 13 repayment program and pay $300 a month for three years to the courts and they pay it out and the balances are then wiped clear.  I only had to pay partial attorney fees, mainly filing fees, the rest was put into the monthly fee.  I still feel bad but at least am paying something.  But there is nothing you can do when you go from two paychecks to one and doesn't feel the bills are his responsibility.  Good luck.  Just thought I would mention them.

They will probably hee and haw and not sign a contract or they put in whereas for "cause they can terminate the service immediately" or with 15 to 30 days notice they can terminate the service without cause.  So with or without a contract they will terminate her services when they find someone else if that is what they are doing.   Who knows I could be wrong and will probably get my goose cooked for working now for 15 years without contracts and have to eat my words.   Time will tell. 

What's the tech number?

an no one ever answers?

I have just put in 19,000 lines for 8.5 days on top of being team leader for two accounts.  I am number one.

Wondering how many accounts are charged/or pay a per line rate based on a character count and if 65 is always the # of characters per line used or can that vary?

Thank you.

As I said, I had never encountered this situation before. How could I know what would happen when I posted this?

Number two, you don't see me posting the patient's name, do you, or even my own name so that this post could in any conceivable way be connected to the patient.

My only concern was the patient's privacy. I have worked in-house and I know how many people see x-ray reports, people that you hope are reliable and honest and follow HIPAA rules but I know for a fact not all of them do.

This is exactly why I would not go to the police or for medical help if I were raped unless I were practically dying.
