Headline:"Woman confronts burglar"
"Sometimes a burglar knocks on the door first, trying to make sure no one is home."
This woman didn't answer her door and then saw the man drive a truck to her back shed and started loading things into it. She asked him what he was doing and he told her he was getting some things for her husband. The guy got away with some of her husband's tools.
So, you are right to be suspicious. Also, there have been burglaries in my county and the surrounding counties where a woman has come to the door first, saying she had car trouble or something, would get a ride from the homeowner, and while he was gone, another person would rob the house. (I live in a rural area and people do things like that - give rides). Now, myself, I don't open the door to anyone I don't know or am not expecting.

There was an article in our local paper today about
outsourcing (their wording) work to India. The contractors in India are now outsourcing the work to other places in India. They figure if we (the US) can outsource American work to India, why can't they outsource the work also. Your medical info is going to be as private as if you took out a billboard and posted it there.
Article about Spheris in the local paper yesterday...

That would be a coincidence,
I thought at the time if I had it to do all over again, that would be the way I'd do it, as everything was absolutely beautiful! I thought how pretty it would make for a December wedding, or even a Valentine's Wedding!
That is a coincidence!......
I, too, write down (journal) everything! (As for my family situation, the prosecutor LOVED that fact!)
Also, I am not totally alone for the holidays. I have my daughter and husband, and maybe my grown son will show. It is just that I feel so GUILTY for "ruining it for everyone." my husband grew up with this big 'ole Italian-style (even though German) get togethers. All the relatives, maybe 30 or so, loud and boisterous, laughing and arguing. My kids grew up with that and loved it. And now most of the 'family' is split up, and I feel personally responsible because of turning in the relative.
Some of the family thinks we should have dealt with the situation 'in house', but if we had done that, the perpetrator would still be hurting more people.
That is why I am seeing the counselor. I am not always running to the psychologist, this is the first time. I just need someone to talk to who can see this from a different perspective than 'the family.'
Next time I see 'the shrink', I am going to ask him, "Okay, on a scale of 1 to 10, with one being no whine at all, and 10 being the worst whine imaginable, where do you think I score?" Har, Har, Har! OKay, flamers, SOCK IT TO ME !!! ha ha ha
Hey, good luck, again, to you. We will all get through it, okay?
It was probably a coincidence or had been there before.
Sound and pictures files don't carry viruses or adware. Documents and executables may, but likely OSi scanned them first.
Don't you run a virus scanner with email and Internet protection? Firewall? Spyware software with active protection?
There are viruses/hackers out there that come through windows media player or real player, so be sure you've got those upgraded with the latest security features. I think it had nothing to do with OSI but with something already on your computer to begin with that was triggered when you used your soundplayer software.
Try Grisoft's AVG, Sygate Personal Firewall and either Adaware or Spybot Search & Destroy for FREE.
What a coincidence
My husband is losing his job too. He builds seets for GM and now that they are shutting the doors, I need to get this transcription stuff on the road!!
What a coincidence!
I live on a river too! What a small world eh?
This is SUCH A COINCIDENCE!!!
I love parties and decorating too!!!! I want everything to be A+ Martha Stewart The Best. BUT.....
I have just one little difference.......
I have found that people just love my cooking and think my house is impeccable if it all starts off with some Jack Daniels or Jose Cuervo. As soon as they walk in the door, slam down a Jack or two.......and I turn into a really good cook and hostess.
 J/K
What a coincidence!! sm
I also took particular notice of that line!! Ve-e-r-r-y interesing stuff!
I saw HOWIE last night on a late night episode of Blind Date. too funny.
I'm thinking if they are smart they'll boot Rachel. I think she's really smart and a good player. I don't think Howie is all that smart or able to be a winner. I think this could force Howie to hook up with James to go for the final 2.
It's taco night! (again.....) We had taco pizza last night, southwestern chicken soup before th
Maybe I'll just have a salad.
Put it on paper
I was drowning in debt a couple of years ago. I finally bought a book by Dave Ramsey about getting out of debt and I must say, this man is a genius! He also does a radio program daily where he takes calls and gives advice. I now do a budget on paper where EVERY penny is accounted for. It is amazing how much of a difference this has made in my life. No, I don't reuse foil or sandwich bags ... LOL! I have paid off my credit card debt and installment debt. At this point, I'm working on the mortgage. I highly recommend the plan Dave Ramsey pushes for "financial peace" as he refers to it.
I have seen ads in the paper where...
Radiology MTs are paid that per hour. Maybe some of the others are too. I applied at a temp agency to work as an MT and asked for a minimum of $12/hr. I didn't get the job. I was not tested or anything, so I felt maybe they didn't want to pay me the $12/hr.
If you get on with the hospital, not sure if you will eventually be sent home or not, but most hospitals where I live send the MTs home to work. So, maybe try at a hospital near you? However, even though they pay hourly, they have a line count they want you to maintain. I think when they pay hourly, they really stick to the line count minimum to make sure they aren't paying you to do nothing. The minimum line count depends on the hospital.
good luck.
It also says on my paper...
…You may decide to continue working beyond your full retirement age without choosing to receive benefits. If so your benefits will be increased by a certain % between your full retirement age AND age 70. If I did not draw before age 70, I would have an 8% increase in the amount I would get at age 66- whatever that would be, don’t do math.
maybe you put too much paper into it, so that
the printer cannot 'grasp' it, or you put the paper too far away.
Hmm, I have a paper here that I signed that says
they will deduct FICA taxes, pay the employer part of FICA equaling 7.65%, and federal income taxes. It says I will receive a W-2, not a 1099.
FICA is the SS tax. So, if they are holding out federal taxes, FICA, employer part of FICA, then all that is left is state tax...??
Does anyone else get overwhelmed with all the paper
that's constantly thrown at them? I just spent an hour and a half cleaning off my desk. It was covered with mail, books, bills, school papers for all the kids, papers I have to fill out for DH and our oldest, papers to be shredded, stuff I have to do for other people, account specs. This was all just from the past week. I always thought I was a pretty organized person, but this place is a mess.....
What about scrapbook paper?
I know Joann has a big scrapbook paper notebook. It would look cute with a lot of different design/similar color paper hands. We actually did this with a turkey projected and covered the turkey with fall paper. I don't know what your budget is but the notebook is about $10 and you'd probably have a lot left over for other stuff.
I think I missed the ad in the paper that says you must
paint your house a funky color. I'm thinking I missed a huge sale at Home Depot on paint because my neighbors are going crazy with the colors. Yes, I understand home depot and Lowe's screws up paint and you can get the mixed up colors very cheap but geez. My neighborhood is going crazy with weird paint colors on their houses. Two months ago someone painted their house bright green with bright pink trim, then came the peach house with green trim, bright yellow house followed by bright blue house with the leftover yellow trim. New house being built across the street is all burnt orange including the fence. They even painted the driveway burnt orange and not UT vols orange. Now my neighbor is painting hers bright green. It's not a bad neighborhood here in Central Florida and the houses here run from 150s to 300s but these colors are horrendous. I think if I put my house up for sale I won't get an offer because the peach house, green and pink house, and orange house are all on the dead end street I'm on.
Sticky paper
Like I said below I buy my sticky paper through a place that prints up forms. You will need to do some calling to see. It is a little expensive but I provide that in my price. Just do not buy the boxed stuff from Viking or Office Depot or Office Max as they do not not have the perforations on the sides so that when they peel the note it is smaller than the paper and fits on a piece of paper. E-mail me if you have any questions. But if you are in the Seattle area, there are a lot of paper places up there. If you are doing overflow then the main MT should be able to tell you where to get the paper. Also they might provide it as some accounts do. Everyone is different. But CONGRATS -- the first step is the hardest. Knew you could do it. Be sure to ask for lots of examples when you start. Keep me informed. Any questions you can e-mail me. Patti typing without glasses hope don't have many typos.
You can get Sticky paper
You can get sticky paper from Medical Arts Press, get the quick peel that has perforations on the side so it fits on your regular sized paper. It is expensive though, I used to buy the large box, approx $90.00, so if you can get your client to supply it, that would be great. I always had to supply my own.
Sticky Paper
Does any one have any suggestions on a type of paper that can be printed on and then stuck into a patient's chart? I would like to find a lable type to fit in a certain space. Brand names would be helpful. Thank you in advance
Sticky paper
I use an 8 1/2 x 11 label size paper that has about 1/8" inch that peels back on each side so that it is smaller than the paper you place it on. The clinics use it to put the chart notes in the charts. I get it at a form place that makes it. Avery makes 8 1/2 x 11 labels but you have to cut down the sides before you peel back the sheet to place it on the paper and it doesn't have great peel backs either. Call local form places and sometimes they will have perforations 1" or so but I don't like that as you waste a lot when you have to begin another chart note and you have to be sure it is below one of the perforations. Have been using this for 15 years now. Did go with some national companies but the shipping got to be too much. Again, call local paper and form places in your area and see if theymake it. E-mail me wiht specific questions.

Sticky Paper
Another good source that is much less expensive than Medical Arts Press, American Corporate Services this company seems to carry everything that is Medical Record Related their web addy is www.americancorporateservices.com think you can find their number on the site. Im sure they carry these tyoe of rolls.
Sticky Paper
Hi, I have always used plain computer paper for my reports but have a new doctor who prefers me to use the "sticky" paper. I was wondering if I should charge for the paper, since it is an added cost, and also if anyone knows where to purchase this paper. Thanks.
sticky paper
I have a great supplier Forms & Filing Systems 800-472-0171. Costs about $120 for 1000 sheets. I pass this cost on to my docs.
sticky paper
I'm not sure about the colors. But it is laser quality. It comes in different label sizes. I use a full sheet lable.
Sticky paper
I get mine from a local form company and it comes with 1/4" inch strips on the sides so that when they peel it off to put into the chart the note is smaller than the paper and fits better. I pay $28 per 300 sheets.
Paper version
I don't like having all that "stuck" on one PC just in case they crash. Good luck!
the paper shuffles and
the conversatons chatting to the nurse or, to me even worse, the minutes of absolute DEAD time when there is NOTHING! Although actually it all adds up to the same thing. Wasted time and mney for the MT.
Yes, but TELL him you need paper. Employer

Paper Trail
True True. I have the papertrail and the pay receipts and trail of if it was cashed that go together. Each earning invoice for ICs have pay stub and proof stapled together.
gas, time away from PC, ink, paper
I think 15 is good. When you are away from your desk and delivering, you are essentially not generating income, so. Plus don't forget the INK, it is costly. Better include a notation of extra costs for:
Hunt up reports and reprints (that can really be abused)
If they want a faxed copy stat
if they cannot locate a report and you need to research (TIME) and reprint & INK & PAPER and deliver. No this is not piddly things, it is time, lost income, cost of supplies.
Just like if a patient came back and ask for a quicky relook, they forgot something, after they just left, this is reset up of exam room, find the chart, chart notation, staff time, physician time and they want it for the same price. See what I mean.
If they want a stat report (you are stopping what you are working on to do their STAT report. Indicate the quicker Turn Around Time charges in writing so they don't forget .....(other than the agreed to time)
sounds good on paper.
but absolutely makes no sense in applying it in the real world.
Oh, I do exactly the same as you, but I hate all the wasted paper. nm

Yep, it all sounds so good on paper
either way I look at it, the problem is, there is nothing to rent here. If my #1 lender falls through and I have to go with #2, it may be possible the seller MAY let me rent for a year, maybe even rent to own. If lender #1 fails, I will be asking. All they can say is no. Originally seller purchased home to rent it and changed their mind, it has been for sale for 2 years, sold twice but financing fell through for other parties.
I'm am going to try for 50/50 with the father of the children as I will need him nights, and he will need me days so we don't have to pay daycare. I will be covering insurance for the kids so yes I will need him to pay some extra to me.
Paper mache lanterns...
On this morning's second episode of the the Carol Duvall show on HGTV they had some cute stuff including some paper mache lanterns that would be inexpensive and simple to make. I always prefer homemade stuff, 'cause kids learn how to make things rather than buying everything at the store.

why need see if you can make a header on your paper sm
to put their preprinted info on there rather than having to worry about a new printer, different type papers, etc. this sounds like it would solve all if agreed upon and aren't that hard to set up in word. then you could have that set in your template when you pull open your work.

Hi: try www.kidsturncentral.com and click on Christmas to see if there is anything there you could use for the kids. Hope you find something. Happy Holidays.
What is a 1013 paper in psychiatry? Thanks! nm

I only use paper towels so I can pitch them.
I forgot about those pieces of paper sm
but we used those in high-school and when I got my first job as a senior in HS, we used those. I worked high school "office co-op", we got credit and worked tooa ND I worked in the personnel department of a hospital. I remember the pink and yellow also.
Is that why their Bounty paper towels
than in the grocery store? Because they are trying to save me money. HA HA HA! I don't THINK so! They used to sell Bounty for $1.38 a roll. Now they are charging almost $2.00 a roll. The grocery store price went up too, but not as much as Walmart! Puhleeze!
But the paper would be stuck to the floor. . .
because someone spilled Kool Aid and didn't bother to wipe it up.
Red Kool Aid.
Absolutely. Maybe a paper needs to be written for (sm)
JAMA & other MD publications. Most of them are in the dark about who often does their dictation (India), and what that's doing to higher-quality US MTs. If we all get forced out of this business by below-minimum-wage pay, there will be no turning back, and ALL their clinical documents will be done offshore. Their malpractice insurance premiums would have to go considerably higher to cover all the botched diagnoses & care that could result from that.
I detest that sticky paper.
IF you want to do it, raise your rate, charge them an extra fee to do so. If you don't, tell her that is not part of the service that you provide.
Do you think Dr. buys paper for office or do

I can't wait! I made a little paper chain...lol. :o) NM

On the front page of my morning paper

Geez, this was on the front page of my paper - sm
I couldn't believe it as I had just read your post. Never think it happens close to home but you never know, do you?
Wow, just saw on the front page of my paper the same story. SM
The ex-husband was from Bernville, PA, which is about 20 minutes from me. What a psycho. Those poor little girls. You know what, people just should not trust anyone these days and never ever allow them to be put in such a situation. And that means making sure you never go anywhere alone with someone. Of course, that wasnt much alone considering they were in a public place. I dont know. The world is just sick. I personally am looking forward to the end of it to be honest. There are jsut too many people suffering these days.
