Resident of Louisiana and all of the United States

PRAY! PRAY! PRAY!


As a resident of Louisiana, I ask that you all pray not only for those poor souls in New Orleans but for the whole state and surrounding areas.  The aftermath effect is going to be widespread. PRAY!   We are already experiencing food supply shortages.  Woman fighting over a loaf of bread in a Wal-Mart. PRAY!  Our kids may not be able to start school because there is no diesel or gas for the buses.  PRAY!  For this I urge all you have enormous SUVs just to ride around in to get rid of them.  The worst is yet to come.  PRAY!  There are reports of the centers having out breaks of riots not only in New Orleans but in the other areas housing the displaced people.  PRAY!  Also, help any way you can.  If you can not afford monetary donations, please give your time at one of the shelters. 


All our lives have and/or will change from this tragedy no matter where you live.


United States: No official language...

MTStars is following the same directions that has been asked by the President of the United States.
MTStars is following the same directions that has been asked by the President of the United States regarding donations to help those affected by Hurricane Katrina.

If you would like to make monetary donations, please make them to the American Red Cross or the Salvation Army.  Banners are running above on the Main board that link directly to those sites.


Thank you!

most states have an internet registry where you can look up that info
When we bought our house, that website was one of the first places I went to before signing the contract.


If you mean United Transcription...
Recruiter, Melissa, had me do a questionaire first. after she was satisfied with this, she wanted to send me a pre-employment screening test. However, it looked like she was only going to send it to me if I had planning on taking it RIGHT THEN AND THERE just because it was timed and needed to be back in 24 hours (we are about 6 hours apart, and I do have another job). She did this twice. I waited for days. Why couldn't she just send the test as an attachment to download like NORMAL companies would?????

I finally emailed the company and told them how unprofessional they were, particularly Melissa, and that they actually did me a favor.
Also contact United Way
We were in a similar, very difficult situation a few years back.  In desperation I called the United Way and they matched my family up with a company in our area that went out and shopped for my 4 kids.  They bought everything on the list and even wrapped the gifts before delivering them.  They left an envelope for me and my hubby with a $100 bill, a gift certificate for a Honey Baked ham and a grocery gift card.  When I did my Christmas shopping at the store, they scanned the gift card - it was for $100!  I started crying right in the store.  I will never forget those angels on earth who saved Christmas for my kids and saved my faith in humanity.  And, by the way, it is not too late!  I didn't know help was available to people in trouble, so didn't call until 5 days before Christmas!  They did all of this for us in just 5 days!  Tell your friend there are many who have been where she is right now and she will get through it.  There are many, many wonderful agencies and people who will help you, she just has to ask.  I pray that your friend will get the help she needs.

United transcription
Does anyone have any information on United Transcription, Inc.?  Are they a good company to work for, do they pay, is there a lot of work, etc.?  Thanks
NM..found it..United Transcription..Tks

sorry...that was United Transcription in No. Carolina. nm

No, it was United that offered lower than 8 cpl. nm

United Transcription used to have, very recently too.

Call United Way in your area. Dial

Ask for referral for whatever it is you need help with, i.e. electric bill, mortgage, etc.  You absolutely cannot apply for unemployment as an IC. You may also consider applying for emergency public assistance by contacting the department of human resources in your county.


I know you are looking for BCBS, but my United HealthCare policy SM

will allow my kids to stay on until they are 26 if they are not married and still living at home, whether they are in college or not.  I double checked about it, and it's true.  Also my dental is the same way but a different carrier.


United Health Care medical insurance

Well, I am about to use my vision coverage insurance for United Health Care.  Eye Exam 2000 said they only covered 15-20% of the exam, 20% of cost of lens/glasses.  I have never heard of such a low amount covered.  I guess I have the wrong plan.  Anyone else disappointed with United Health Care benefits besides me?  I work for a large national.


Thanks.  I guess I am hoping someone will tell me I am wrong and that 80% of the bill is covered.  That this is all a mistake.


Signed,


Squinting


Call United way. Dial 2-1-1 from a landline phone
or you can Google united way '_________'. fill in the blank with the name of your city. You can search their database online as well. There is help out there for you.
I wasn't offered 8-1/2 cpl w/United out of So.Carolina - much lower. TransTech and DSG

I used this with United of No.Carolina. It seemed kind of slow and archaic. Didn't use the Sted&

Also they have to pay to set up new states
So they might not want to hire from states not set up in already.
Indeed it does, as the letter clearly states
it was a DEP error
It clearly states in the message that they

document where the IRS states this please? nm

she states below that she did try in the past sm
to bring on another IC but they were resistant to the idea.

She has already tried doing what you suggest, to no avail.

I have been in this situation as well, and while it is very true that we are, in essence, vendors to our clients, there are offices that are truly difficult to work with.

It is a good idea to consider taking an employee position in this case, I agree, but please know that she's already tried addressing the issue in the way you suggest. :-)
Some *states*. YIKES!
.
Working in 2 different states. sm

I know a MQMT who does this.  I don't know the particulars, but she's literally on opposite ends of the map at different times.  It seems to me that there should be no problem doing this.  Of course, time zones, etc. may vary, but things like that should be easily resolved. 


Have fun, whatever you decide!


I work for a hospital 6 states away. SM

I have a physician list and I have a website to look for other doctors. But how can they expect me to know how to spell patients' names? They can't. I have a disclaimer at the top of my log sheet that says common or phonetic spellings will be used where patient name spellings are not provided.


That was the thing that held me up when I worked "live" from home for a hospital. All that diddling around finding out whether it was "Kathy" or "Cathy"  -- I don't do that any longer and you're right, it makes a HUGE difference.


4 states are taking refugees
The governor of Louisiana has asked four states to take refugees:  Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, and Utah.  I know Utah is scheduled to take 1000, starting to be flown in today (call the governor's hotline at 866-873-2437 if you live in UT and want to help), but I don't know about the others.  I would imaging they're taking more since they're closer.  This is being coordinated through FEMA, but the governor's offices of those other states probably would be of more direct help.  If you don't live in one of those states you could try to contact FEMA, but I imagine they're swamped right now.
I agree with most of this, but in most states you can't lock him out. sm
I agree you should get away from him, especially if there are kids involved, but in most states you're not allowed to lock him out of the house. It's his residence, too, and the police and judges will tell you that he has just as much right to be there as you do. Please be sure to check with a lawyer or with the local police before trying to lock him out of the house.
the post clearly states "replace" so you
Within 5 years, I think most if not all hospitals will be on ASR, and our final destinations as MTs will be editors.  Until they decide they do not need these formatted reports altogether. 
In most states, if not all, it is illegal for a company
to charge you up-front for information about work, software necessary to work, etc.  They should do a payroll deduction, still doesn't guarantee they are a legitimate company though. 
The audience would be the blue states,

aka, the ones who voted for Kerry.  I guarantee this movie will flop in the red states.  It's just one more attempt to push the gay agenda down our throats, making it more mainstream and palatable.  Won't happen in my state, Texas.  There is no such thing as a gay cowboy, that's an oxymoron. 


Labor laws in some states (particularly CA) SM
are more stringent and some of the nationals won't hire from certain states because their laws are stricter than federal labor laws.

Unless an employer states you can represent them in
Few employers will want employees to advertise their personal lives in such a way and then tag it to their employer.

I don't blame them, either.

People have no sense.

Actually it makes sense in all 50 states

How does your contract read??? It if states
you are doing the work then they have the right to drop you from their account as you are not adhering to your contract. They have a right to know who is doing their work.
Many states have the same program, called
Angel Food Ministries. 
Have any of you in the higher priced states...
Just a question, don't get mad. I moved out of Delaware many, many years ago. The wages there are below national levels (don't know if its changed) and I found I could not be a single mom and buy a decent home for my child there. I did research and ended up in Florida where there is no state tax and cost of living was a lot cheaper. Even though we moved away from family, I think it was the best decision I ever made.
Some states just don't like Californians. PERIOD.
I know that having lived most of my life here, I would never want to live anywhere else, especially in a landlocked state with no ocean.
It certainly IS a national. They hire from other states.

Hope California would join the two states

DOCTOR STATES OPINION AS FACT

I have a dictation that I really hate to send to put in the patient's chart. The doctor has stated as fact an opinion about this patient's illess (namely pain and depression). The statement that was made is going to follow this patient and probably keep her from receiving adequate treatment now and in the future. I know that as MTs we are to transcribe what the physician says, but I really feel for this patient as this physician is doing her a diservice - and I would think that if this gal is smart she would find herself an attorney, as this doctor is working on opinion rather than facts. The physician is foreign and has a much different view of the subject than informed "American" physicians - I just hate to have my initials on this poor woman's chart, knowing that the doctor is not adequately treating her problems. Okay - my vent for the day.


How long do states keep medical records?
