Why I believe Mrs. Twitty is writing the soap opera and starring in it too!

In Reply to: I think you're in the wrong profession - write soap operas!! - Yawn, yawn
Promoting her little dream of a soap opera with press conferences with her super glossy eyeshadow and false eyelashes. Sweet. How many opportunities does Mrs. Twitty get to get all this attention? Might as well milk it.

Well that's quite a soap opera . . .
I used to live in Southern California and your description reminded me of someone I used to know, especially about interrogating the waiter. Loved that you called her the Bee. You sound very down to earth and she is not. As for the clothes - everything has a price doesn't it. She's probably shocked that those clothes didn't mean that much to you and you'd do anything to keep on receiving them. Good for you.
SOAP OPERA SCRIPTS
Does anybody know who types scripts for soaps or other TV shows? I've been an MT for 30 years and am beyond burned out with medical reports. Figure I could use a change and thought I'd really enjoy something like this. Thanks!
oh yeah, forgot that one. Worse than a soap opera. Geez! nm.

Turn off the soap opera network and get a clue, drama queen!
That's what a lot of you around here do, find drama in otherwise innocent posts. Get a life, get back to work. And above all else, you call me a hypocrite and yet you sit in judgment of me.
Mrs. Twitty is used to getting her way
and lovin the spotlight.
Mrs. Twitty
To all of you who are so judgmental of this woman, tell me, at what point do you pack it up and go home, leaving your daughter behind, God knows where. Would you be able to get the thought out of your mind that she is alive somewhere and wonders why you stopped looking for her?
Not Mrs. Twitty
Amen - well said, and is EXACTLY the way it was in my house. You live here, I pay for the food, I pay for the roof over your head, I pay for your clothes, you damn well better follow my rules because this is MY house. There was no wearing of trashy clothes. I raised 3 by myself. No pregnancies, no drugs, good kids, now responsible parents all of them, and raising their children the same way, except all of them are raising their children in the church which I didn't because I worked on Sundays. They all were offered the $ value of a cruise and took the money for down payments on cars. And yet, as tight as I raised my kids, I wondered where in the heck did they get their brains at times. I let my children go when they were comfortable going. None of them have come back home because it "didn't work out". They have all been married over 15 years. You have to have faith in your children but that doesn't mean you need to be blind and give them opportunities to misbehave like that.
Mrs. Twitty
God forbid, it has to be horrible, but the country can't turn itself inside out and upside down because of her daughter's disappearance. SHE made the mistake of allowing her daughter to do this. A 17 and 18 year old is not an adult. Its been 36 (?) days. Sooner or later, you have to accept the reality that you may never know, instead of staying there demanding and demanding and go home to start mending. She is not the only mother that this has happened to whether in Aruba or other places. They move on, she needs to move on too.
Twitty, etc
None of you are paying attention. College and going into a well-known pick-up bar in another country at 2 a.m. by a teenager, by yourself are two different things. You can't keep your children protected all the time. College doesn't even come into play here. Parents NEED to instill values and NEED to look at ramifications and most of all, they need to understand that as soon as an uneducated child gets out of sight, they are going to cross the line. I would bet my last dollar that Natalee has acted up away from her parents before. This time, she was not so lucky. Sometimes I wonder what comic strips you people read. Who said anything about college? I SAID what kind of parent allows a 17-year-old girl on an unsupervised trip to a known "fast" island???? Do ya get it now?????
Adivse for Ms. Twitty
I wholeheartedly agree with you. Here she is demanding that the Aruban and Dutch governments do this, do that, etc., yet, there was Shasta Groene's father not demanding anything like that from his own country, just quietly going about his business and doing what he could and probably doing a lot of praying. She's acting like a spoiled person. I feel very sorry for her and the loss is probably devastating, but you are in another country and when in Rome, ....... She is coming off as the very arrogant, demanding, and spoiled rotten American that we have all become, according to other countries. She is not helping the situation by her actions at all. She should follow your advice.
what does Mr. Jug Twitty do for a living? And what about Jar, his brother.
They are all staying in Aruba. How can they take off of work indefinitely even if they aren't wealthy and took a second mortgage on their house.
PS: I doubt very much a resort town is giving away free services to these people and their entourage. This is how a resort makes money you know. Especially when you are there criticizing their government and call citizens criminal who have been released from jail for lack of evidence.
Holloway & Twitty Families
I feel sorry for both of the families, but just because you want an answer doesn't make people guility because you think they are. Women disappear in the US ALL THE TIME and no one cares because they arent' young, blonde, and come from money. It doesn't make their lives less than Holloway's. She used bad judgment, her parents used bad judgment. Does anyone know of a 17-year-old girl who behaves "correctly" in an atmosphere like Aruba? They let their daughter go to a "foreign country" unchaperoned. They used bad judgment and now they are looking for someone to point a finger at to take the guilt off their backs. Holloway's mother has no right to throw a temper tantrum about the Aruban system. She's not in Kansas anymore!!! Said to say, but she needs to come to grips with reality.
This is HEARSAY from media and/or Mrs. Twitty.
You all quote media as if it should be written in stone. Obviously not enough credibility to hold this guy in jail for suspicion.
holloway and twitty famillies
TO old TM, who is to say that natalle holloway used bad judgement, where you there? if you followed the story from the beginning, you would have known that there were chaperoned in that foreign country. I don't believe that her parent used bad judgement at all. Ana I think beth twitty has every right to point a finger, when all she is getting is a bunch of lies from the arubans, from day one.
I pray that Mrs. Twitty gets off the TV, washes the makeup off and goes out looking for her daughter
instead of playing private detective and second-guessing the people who are actually doing something. She is a nut case. Maybe Natalee is missing on purpose based on what I have seen of her mother, the DIVA. Mrs. Twitty, you are acting nit-witty and I pray you go about the business of grieving for your daughter instead of the roles you have chosen to play for the past few weeks as judge and jury of how a country should run an investigation into your daughter's disappearance.
What's a SOAP?
NM
SOAP
It's an acronym for SUBJECTIVE, OBJECTIVE, ASSESSMENT, PLAN. I recall back in the late 1970s when the hospital at which I was working as an RN began requiring us to write all of our notes in SOAP format. What a pain!
SOAP
It depends what format the client wants: I had an account where the only double spaces were after the heading (Name and DOB) and at the very end before the name of the dictating physician.
The body of the note was all single spaced, no double space between S, O, A and P.
PT SOAP work
I am an MTSO and I would be interested in talking to you further. Please email me.
SOAP is a style.
Subjective, Objective, Assessment, Prognosis. Some offices like to their office notes typed in this kind of format, others don't.
Maybe you put that you do SOAP notes and HR

What are SOAP notes?
nm
soap notes
Yes that is correct they are chart or clinical notes. The dentist that I used to work for liked the charts written up in that fashion.
S- subjective
O- objective
A- assessment
P- plan
SOAP Notes
I may sound dumb, but what is a SOAP note??
I used to wath soap operas.....
Now I just come to this board every day, lol.
HELP with SOAP sheet issue please!
I have my my own account of three OB-GYNs that use a SOAP sheet type heading on a regular piece of paper. It takes up about 2.5" on the top of the first page of each patient note. It is paper that is purchased from a printing company and they write in the patient's name, vitals, LMP, type of contraception, etc. in the appropriate areas. I have my margins set so I start typing under this info. The problem I have had is these sheets will jam up in any of the three printers I have and I just bought a new all-in-one printer and these sheets will actually get so stuck I have to tear them out of my printer! I know it is because they have been handled, written on, sometimes have corners folded, etc. I normally have a second page I print and sometimes even a third, and I print all the notes at one time or it would take me forever to print out their transcription as I normally have 30-40 pages from each doc! I even made sure the paper I purchased for second, third pages is the same weight as this SOAP heading sheet and it makes no difference. It does not jam with every first page/header page, but it does it on average at least three times while I am printing out one doc's work. This wastes a lot of my time, is frustrating, and I feel it is going to ruin my printer/roller bar with it jamming so badly.
When I spoke with the OM, she said they would quit sending these SOAP sheets with the info on them and then they would just add them to the patient's chart as the first page after I return the transcription. However, I just received a message when I returned home that the docs are not happy with this and do not want it done this way.
When I met with the OM, she said they can change this pre-printed "form" to a half page (which will save them money). I am not exactly sure why they do not like the way things have been changed other than this pertinent info is no longer directly on that first page of the patient's note.
Does anyone have ANY suggestions as to what I could do that they might agree to? I know I had mentioned to the OM when I met with her (to discuss going digital) that perhaps they could use the same form on a half page or even smaller as a label to adhere to the patient note and she said "no way"! They will NOT use adhesive anything. I need to resolve this problem TODAY so sure would appreciate some suggestions/feedback.
TIA.
The soap under the sheet really works.
My husband thought I was crazy but it did work.
Just like an H&P, but sometimes without headings, sometimes use the SOAP designations. nm
s
Not so silly. I still don't know what SOAP means.
nm
I think SOAP Transcription does only ER/ED files. nm

Usually dictated in the same fashion, but sometimes the SOAP

SOAP vs office notes
Some of my docs use the SOAP -see below, all broken down into these paragrahs with headings.
S: (subjective)
O: (objective/physical)
A: (assessment)
P: (plan)
Others, my surgical oncology docs, just dictate and I put them in paragraph form and no headings. Also I have one that does the S and O and then puts his Assesment and Plan in one paragraph.
Hope that helps. Patti
Question regarding SOAP note...
For those of you who transcribe SOAP notes, do you capitalize each word in the diagnosis? I have seen it both ways, and I was not sure if there is a rule to this.

Thank you!
Writing!
We will be praying for you! I too have had a lifelong dream to write (short stories and a novel) but also settled for a steady paycheck. Still get to put words on paper, just not my words! I wonder how many of us share the dream of earning a living writing? Maybe we can start a support group?
So we are writing our own BOS, right??
A logical book with classic rules that don't change every three years would be great! If we follow older rules like the MDs are used to, they'll think we're brilliant and the foreign AAMT BOS followers are idiots!
You should consider writing
a humor column for a newspaper free lance!! You have a great sense of Humor and good writing!! By the way, I agree totally with you about this job!! I think the Twinkie thing sounds like a good job.
I take mine apart before it gets the soap and water bath. nm

Dawn dish soap for fleas
I had this problem before with some kittens. Soak the pup down and scrub it up with dawn dish soap. Apparently the fleas get caught in the "bubbles" and suffocate. Leave this on the puppy for about a 1/2 hour to an hour then rinse. Keep in mind that this does work BUT dry skin occurs.
Try Murphy's Oil/Soap - toothpaste is abrasive

Office notes versus SOAP:
Could someone explain the difference between an office note and a SOAP note when doing transcribing for a specialty doctor. Thanks.
Is SOAP format always in paragraph form? *sm*
or is it common to transcribe headings within a SOAP report? For example, a SOAP report with a PE section?
Thanks in advance!
Not in Writing, but they are paying
Spot checks show they are paying me for spaces and for headers.
Resume writing - what to put - sm
I have been an IC for about 10 years and have worked for several clients. Is it proper to put names of companies in resume? It looks pretty blank with just my name, company, and that I transcribed a variety of reports, etc.
Any suggestions would be helpful.
are you enjoying writing to yourself
on your hands
is this the writing on the wall for us? is there nothing we can do??
are we being sold-out by our own profession?
my opinion is to get everything in writing. sm
I signed a contract with my local company that says that I can pick up my own accounts on the side, but cannot offer to take over one of her accounts even if I do the same doctor every day, which I basically do.
Don't get me wrong here. My "boss" is wonderful and she's very good. She started out small (just herself) and now has built up a respectable business with a half dozen part time MT's and a part time editor.
However, if she started slacking off and I were in your situation, I would ask her to put in writing and sign it, saying that it was okay for me to take over the account. I would then keep a copy and give a copy to the account that wants me to work for them. That way your bases are covered and the "boss" that you work for can't come back at you for breach of contract, etc., even if she didn't make you sign anything when you first started working for her. She doesn't sound too nice, so there could be problems for you without having it in writing.
Once you have your signed paper, by all means, pick up that account! Sounds good. I would love it if my boss said, "I'm not going to do Dr. Soandso any more, so if you want it, it's yours." I'd still make sure I got it in writing.
Good luck! 
After having the ink dry
I saw the writing on the wall with them
More than 2 years ago I decided to quit lining their pockets with my hard-earned money to support their "garden party" mentality and grossly overpriced coferences that are too expensive for the average MT to attend (come on, do we really need an annual meeting in Hawaii???). I dropped my membership after more than 10 years of seeing no action, hearing of secret meetings, never ending in-fighting, and just a general attitude of them thinking it was up to the average working MT to support their grand "hobby" of being a board member while they sat around accomplishing nothing year after year.
Ask them but get the answer in writing if
they agree to it.
need help with resume writing
Hi there,
I have been working as an MT now since January and want to add this experience to my resume. Can anyone help me make it look good? 
Get everything in writing. When someone asks
if a company is flexible in hours, what does that mean? It could mean that they're willing to let you switch from the day shift to the evening shift if you request it. It could mean you have a window of time in which to complete your work. Or it could mean that you can work when you want. A question needs to be much more specific than that, and both the question and answer need to be in writing.
Thank you so much for writing, Patti.
