Any WAH MTs wear scrubs?
I'm tired of wearing out my jeans (not to mention that they aren't that comfortable to sit in all day) and want to be more professional than working in sweats -- I used to work in Medical Records and wore scrubs, and I loved them.
Hubby caught me surfing ebay for scrubs and laughed at me -- he didn't see why I would wear a uniform if I didn't have to, but the way I see it -- it makes me feel more professional and is a comfortable and effortless solution that is better than bathrobes and slippers. Am I crazy or silly for wearing a uniform to work when I work in my dining room?
Any other scrub-wearing MTs out there?
One year at work.. we all dressed as
we all wore striped jail outfits and hats.. and, considering where I work, it was definitely true! We wore handcuff and had chains.. it was funny!
Never thought of wearing scrubs, but if you're comfy, sm
that's all that matters. I did the heels and hose thing for over 20 years when I worked in an office and/or hospital, now my "uniform" consists of a t-shirt and shorts until it gets really cold, then I begrudgingly give up my shorts and go with sweat pants, although not the kind with the elastic at the ankle ... hate those. I'm tall, so usually most pants end up looking like capri pants anyway, so guess I should just cave in and buy capris.
A lot of people think because I work at home, I sit in jammies all day, but that idea doesn't even appeal to me. Plus, first thing in the morning, I have to walk my doggie, and I really do not think the neighbors need or want to see me walking around in my PJs. But it is a personal choice ... if jammies or scrubs or even typing in the nude make you happy and productive, I say go for it. :-)
My professionalism is not determined by what I wear. The UPS or Fed Ex guy would probably fall over dead if I answered the door in heels and pearls. :-) But they both comment on how happy I always seem, and that must be a reflection of my love for my job and the comfort of being in the environment I choose to create for myself. :-)
Yikes .. this was supposed to be a short little post supporting the lady who wanted to wear scrubs. Guess it's not only the docs I type for who are long-winded ... oops!
Happy Saturday everyone!
It's just what you're comfortable with and what you're used to.
I give a minimum of $100 for acquaintances and raise the bar from there to good friends, relatives, immediate family getting the largest gift.
do you wear shoes when you work? sm
if so, what kind? If I wear sneakers, my feet get too hot and sweaty. If I wear slippers, I don't feel like I get enough support. Any suggestions? 
Sorry, I don't wear "smarty pants." I wear thongs. Hehehe
What kind of job did you have to be dressed up for? nm

When I went in for a re-do one year they had the doctor read it before I even got dressed -
The tech took the films with the different views, trotted down the hall, and in about 5 minutes she had the results. They already had me scheduled for the ultrasound, but these films were clear. I truly hope that happens for you. It gives such peace of mind. Best wishes to you!
Well, you're all complaining that accounts are current and work is low, so, gee, maybe they're
focusing on WORK, as in CLIENT and transcribing, as maybe half of you should be focusing on!!
My group dressed as tourists.. funny. Binoculars, hawaain prints, sunblock etc.
Scrubs?
Did the previous poster ever receive any feedback as to where to get MT scrubs? I can't seem to get back to that page. How do we get to the pages from earlier in the week. Thanks!
Scrubs
I shop at thrift stores. I have several darling sets of scrubs I wear around the house for little price. I am going to donate them to my Doctor's office girls soon. They are in excellent condition.
Scrubs
Thank you all for your responses. I am wondering if I have found as close as I am going to get? I went to www.logosoftwear.com . Then I selected "Instant Embroidery Logos". Then I scrolled down the page to the different types of embroidery and select "Occupational". In this section, there is a logo, LGO193, of a computer operator who it seems is wearing a headset? Is this maybe as close as we can get? Let me know what you think! Thanks! Gussie
Scrubs
That is not bad but still looking for something else but probably not going to find it. Thanks for finding that!
Scrubs
Hi Sandy, I agree it's not the greatest, but I haven't found anything better yet either. Sigh!
How about Scrubs?
I keep seeing it advertised on a couple of other stations other than NBC. I'm thinking they are reruns though. I really enjoyed that show. Even after going to their website I am confused about when/where to watch it and if they are new episodes or not. Anyone have a clue?
Scrubs and crocs. Luv em. nm

You're lucky they work for you. I've never gotten a refill to work right, ever.

Trashed my scrubs the day I left
my job at a doctor's office, kind of a celebration ritual! Work in PJs 1 hour or so early am (right out of the bed so very unkempt) then dress for the day, then work evenings through to 1:00 am, so PJs work best for me. Most days try not to stay in the PJs all day long though. When my ex-employer and coworkers ask if I might want to return to the office, all I say is "Can I work here in my jammies???"
Who do you work for? (no message)

$62.50/every two weeks gets me top-to-bottom scrubs of three bathrooms, polishing of - sm
1200 sq ft of hardwood floors, dusting and vacuuming of four bedrooms and living room. I type while she's cleaning and make $50/hour, and I pay her $25/hour. Love her!
Fell sorry.....
BRAVO!!!!!! 
I work 7 days a week -- see message
I work 7 days a week. I work 30 hours Monday through Friday and 4 hours on Saturday and Sunday. I start at 3 a.m. through the week. Weekends are my time to sleep in -- LOL. I don't start until 5 a.m. My production is way up. I just can't do 8 hour days. I felt like I spent my 2 days off running errands and cleaning.
I have 2 kids who are school age. When I finish my shift, I go back to bed for a couple hours, get up, shower, and eat lunch. Three days a week I go to the gym for an hour and get home just in time for them to start getting home from school. The other days I use to clean house and run errands. It just seems I get more accomplished and have more time to do the things I enjoy with this schedule.
On the weekends, by the time I finish up everyone is just beginning to get up, so I don't feel like I miss out on any weekend time with my family.
Can buy scrubs anywhere and then take them to a local T-shirt/banner monogramming place. nm

I kind of fell into it
It's for a local insurance company. I have a friend who works there, and the service that they used was charging a lot. She knew I was looking for a part-time job to supplement my income (at that time I was working out of the home as a legal secretary). We started out working on it together, and then she stopped and I do all the tapes now. It's good money. I've been doing it for about 7 years.
How dumb are you? Evidently you fell from somewhere.

Maybe it was where you post fell .. I thought
that you thought I was telling you that.
OH WELL I'M CONFUSED NOW. ROFL
I meant no harm or bother to anyone.
My babies are in bed. I'm going there, too. I think I'll just stay quiet for a while.
My husband fell back on ME. SM
He had his own auto repair business and I bought his parts half the time.
If a pill causes an abrasion while going down, it can fell like it is still there. nm

I got the same email regarding pay....ALMOST FELL OUT OF MY CHAIR
You have got to be kidding me!!
I do the same thing! I have fell asleep at ...sm
my keyboard before. It sucks trying to wake yourself up. I haven't found anything really that helps me that much.
Just as above, the physician said the patient fell
and ordered CT scan and the doctor absolutely checking for confusion. The doctor repeated and I listened back to it, intensely. That was said, VR picked it up and how would a newbie know (brain, confusion, could be in some cases, right) it was contusion they were looking for? I did, changed and finally the physician said the correct word, contusion. I also have the VR putting in Dr. Pannicus and the like. Yep, you need to know what things mean, not just typing in words.
okay, thanks, I thought it was always Fri when it fell on a weekend...

The reply function to your original message doesn't work (sm)
So sorry about that...I hope you'll find this message.
she fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down
she fell out of the stupid tree and hit every branch on the way down
I fell down my steps in MARCH of 05 and my tailbone still ...
hurts a lot of the time. Both soft and hard chairs are hard to get out of, depending how long I have been sitting. My sister said about trying an inflatable pool ring, but there aren't many to be found this time of year!
DH refuses to watch it again- says we fell for all the hype - about (sm)
the show being a "classic" . People on we barely knew. We kept waiting for it to get "good". Then the ending!!!!
Holy cow is right. Is he dead??
Bahaha! Oops. I fell out of my chair.
You're not really a brunette, are you?
Thanks for the giggle.
You might get more comfortable with it and you
might be able to feed your kids, but think of all the time you spent doing all that crap when you could have been producing lines. I worked for YOG years ago and their demographics screen was EXTREMELY time consuming and probably added at least an hour to my workday that I wasn't getting paid for.
Change is harder for some and it takes a month or more sometimes to get a real feel for things, but I know there are better platforms and don't understand why if one company can come up with as easy platform, then why can't the others too.
They look comfortable, but how do you (sm)
use a foot pedal with the knee chair?
Mother fell and broke hip Sat, sent home by ER doctor
who said it was only bruised. Hospital calls Tuesday afternoon and says she actually had a broken hip and needed surgery. In the 3 days before the nursing home found out it was broken, she fell again. Has anyone ever heard of the radiology dept taking 3 days to read films? It was Memorial Day weekend, but even so I don't think it should have taken so long.
So true, when I worked inhouse, the doc fell asleep
while dictating and actually continued to dictate while asleep "we packed the leg wound with BBQ sauce and grilled it". The service typed it as such and flagged it. Boy, was doc ever embarrassed. His fault for doing 50 charts at a pop.
EditScript/Escription - Fell in love with it the first time I used it

Most comfortable chair please!
I am on a quest for a new office chair. Cannot afford the Aeron. Any other comparable ones out there????? Thanks!
Do what YOU feel comfortable doing. It's your day.
good luck
Is is very comfortable there where u live?...nm
Comfortable Chair?
Any suggestions on a COMFORTABLE office chair with good lumbar support that doesn't cost $600? Thanks!
comfortable chair
I cannot afford an expensive chair, so went to Staples, got a leather chair, high back and arms, adjustable back and seat, ergonomically correct and it works for me. I have sciatica and neck and shoulder problems and this chair works fine - I paid 100.00 for it on sale.
comfortable chair
Hi - I found a great chair from the Hon company, their model 7608 from the Unanimous series. This chair retails for about $500, but many online dealers carry it for under $350. It's a quality chair and everything on it is adjustable - seat depth, back tilt and height, arm heighth and width, etc...
I'm really enjoying mine and got it from CSNchairs.com for $349.
Good luck!
Comfortable Chairs?
Anyone have any ideas for comfortable chairs, affordable comfortable chairs? I've been looking for a good chair and can't seem to find one.
Comfortable headphones
I get a headache from my Spectra headphones if I use them for an extended time. My old ones (Sony?) did not have that problem, but the sound was not great and now they are broken anyhow. Suggestions as to something that would not put much pressure on the ears/head, but would have decent sound quality for digital dictation? (no earbuds)
