Would rather have Bill and his sexual escapades...

This has only happened once, and I had my check cut same day.  This is business and I will not beg someone to give me my money.  I simply stated it as a fact. 

As a survivor of sexual abuse, I can tell you that I wish someone had made a report.  This was back in the 70's when it wasn't widespread knowledge, wasn't talked about.  I honestly think that my mother was relieved he wasn't bothering her.  Everytime I was taken to the doctor as a teenager (which wasn't very often) my mother would go in the room with me.  The doctor sometimes would tell her she could wait in the lobby, and there was always a nurse in the room.  I never got to ask questions that were burning in my teenage brain, I never got any help.  I think my mother was afraid I would say something.  This was after she found out about it and acted like it wasn't happening.  He started when I was 13 and stopped when I was 18 when I threatened to cut his you know whats off. 

I know in the performance of our jobs that we can't say anything about the things we learn.  But hopefully the doctor stood up for this young person and did the right thing.  I wish mine would have.

If we are transcribing a report that we believe to be a sexual abuse case, are we required to report it if the physician does not?  Is this a breech of confidentiality and a violation of HIPAA?

This is hard to talk about.  Two weeks ago my daughter woke me up to tell me her friend "had" to talk to me.  I was asleep, not very happy with 17-year-old drama.  Long/short the girl's father had been sleeping with her "until she turned 16".  At that point apparently she told him she would tell if she did not get her own bedroom....she then went on to say the reason she "had" to tell someone is that the night before she heard him through her wall now with her 14-year-old sister.  There were two other little girls in that house - the mom had apparently moved 60 miles away and gave this monster custody while she found herself or whatever.  When the girl started telling me the rest of the story, I was stunned.  I am so visual that as she spoke my skin began to crawl - I wanted to beg her to stop with the chilling details, but I knew she needed someone to tell and I was it.  I felt like a victim myself.  It was the creepiest story ever.  She went on to spill details that made me 100% sure she was telling the truth (like....he got really, really angry when he found out my sister had started her period) that type of thing.  By the time she finished her gut-wrenching story, my own daughter looked at me and said...mom...you are just staring....Ended up calling a Sexual Assault Hotline.  Next morning I was driving home and there were 7 police units in front of this creep's house.  The mom came and picked up all the girls, thank God.

I think what happened to the MT who read this sexual abuse case is the same thing that happened to me -- somehow in even reading or hearing about it -- you become somewhat of a victim yourself -- a victim of just how sicko the * of the world can get.  Thanks for letting me vent.  The friend of my daughter stays in touch and says she is much happier.  I am going to watch in the courts and make sure that this sicko does not get off lightly -- let em just try that...not on MY watch.

OFFENDER (a very real proven criminal) was given freedom to kidnap, molest and kill one of two children.  Then again we have that society reject who TOLD the police he was a sexual offender and would do it again.  He was free to kill the little girl in Florida.  Now you hear our wonderful system cannot use his confession because he did not have a lawyer present.  I see why the Arubans may think we are the pot calling the kettle black. 

As for Mrs. Twitty, she needs to appoint a spokesperson before she does any more damage.  I don't care how emotional she feels, she really is clueless about what is going on internally in the investigation and she needs to realize this and quit commenting.

I recently had an awakening about the witch hunt currently going on for one "convicted sexual predator."  Predator first offense:  18 y.o. dating 15 y.o. Dad of 15 y.o. angry and had 18 y.o. arrested.  My grandmother was 16 when she married my grandfather who was 19.  I guess he should have been arrested too.

Second offense:  21 y.o. made copy of nude on internet.  Copy found by off-duty policeman who reported find.  Predator arrested, mother's computer confiscated, 100 y.o. public defender appointed.  Predator had to prove person posing for picture was over 18.  How could anyone do that if they do not even know name of person appearing in picture.  Predator convicted and on probation.  Cannot be anywhere with any children.  No Christmas get togethers with family, no church, must leave restaurant or other public place if children come in, MUST be registered and can be locked up if too close to daycare, school bus stop, etc. and must go ???somewhere if children present in Dr. waiting room etc.  Neighbors informed of sexual predator in midst and regularly egg car and persecute in other ways.  I wish they would round up every photographer and reader who ever looked at girl's breast in magazine and could not prove girl of age.  (National Geographic for instance.)  I find sexual predators abhorrent but think we have gone too far.  Am I the only one who sees the backlash from fear? 

once a month and pay my MT's once a month. Payable upon receipt. I've only had a few times where the check didn't come but that was a small account at the hospital and the bill was going to the wrong department, etc. As a business owner you should be prepared to have SOME cash flow, just for occurrences such as these. I have had accounts miss a payment but when I send the next month's bill, they paid right away. Then again, there were some months when I forgot to send THEIR bill, so fair enough. I have never really been stiffed.

p.s. a contract is only as good as the two people signing it...

mortgage.  Always, always keep in touch with them even if you don't have the payment.  Your not alone in your dilemma.  The mortage companies have been very flexible and willing to work with payment issues in the past year.  Not sure if the options are still available since they've started foreclosure proceedings, but there are payment plans and now the popular "modification" loans.  Pick up the phone and call them - do it ASAP.  Explain your situation, decreased income, ARM adjustment and see if there is an option to keep you in the home at a payment that is comfortable.  I know many of the lenders are waiting for the exact guidelines on March 4th under the new stimulus plan to come out.  Hopefully this will be the saving grace some are hoping for. 

I wish you luck though, I know you're in a touch situation.  I was there too so can truly sympathize.  My loan is currently pending modification, but I first started with a payment plan.  My fingers and toes are crossed. 

when in Arkansas, Bill was governor earning $32,000 yearly

when in Arkansas, Hill was an attorney earning $267,000 yearly.

So calling her DUMB only makes you look MORE DUMB. 

When I first signed up for DSL, they added all kinds of charges and extras - one was for a backup dial-up account in case DSL went down for some reason!!  Yeah right!   I was able to get at least that one removed, if not more, and now my monthly fee is around $35 or so.

We live in a rural area and waited forever for DSL, but I know my mom is also very happy with her cable, which, as someone else mentioned, might be a good option.  I know it's really fast. 

We use the payment plan so our bill is the same every month. They average all 12 months and come up with a month payment.  Our winter bills usually would be as low as $70 if we weren't on the payment plan.

Can't live here without AC - no way, no how.

I know HIDA scans are nuke med but would they fall into the category of CT/MRI/PET or US/DEXA for billing purposes?

I say CT/MRI/PET but please correct me if I'm wrong.
