It is not our job to judges the patients sm
or why or where they seek treatment. It is our job to transcribe the dictated reports. If you don't like the healthcare system, then go out and change it.
Judges who can't make decisions to (sm)
save their rears really bug me. The judge (a female) assigned to my divorce and subsequent custody battles, etc., could not ever make a firm decision....continuations, etc. What a joke. I'm right there with ya. And people, for the record, lie out the wazoo in court.
I actually like a lot of the court show judges.
Judge Judy is hysterical. Judge Milian on People's court is great! I also like Judge Joe Brown and Judge Hatchett. I'm not crazy about that new guy that looks like Herman Munster though, Alex something? lol
no work late...she raved about the quality of my work.....sm
I have emails raving about how good my work was. The trouble came when I started asking questions about pay and complaining that she was sending me work when was convenient for her and not when I needed it. She would stay up all night and then sleep a good part of the day. I told her before I started that I wanted to work early mornings. She said that was no problem whatsoever, BUT then I would see no work until 4 o'clock in the afternoon. She would promise me work and send it to me and it would be the wrong voice files, so I had to delete and start over. She was SO disorganized. She said that she has 50 happy transcriptionists and complained that I wanted some samples. I did not know how she wanted things formatted. It was just a mess. The day she "fired" me (I have never been fired before in my life), I had basically told her that morning if things didn't change I wasn't typing another character.
Of course she had 50 happy transcriptionists. Her work was being subcontracted by a lady in Atlanta. She didn't have contact with these transcriptionists. There was a middle man. I told her I could guarantee the lady in Atlanta provided her transcriptionists with some sort of guidance or samples. The hospital system had some sort of weird thing in place where some places needed soft returns and some hard returns and she told me you couldn't mess with that but I was unclear on exactly what went where.
I don't think I will ever work for a small company again.
Anyway, I have drafted a demand letter which I intend to send Monday. Someone below asked for the name of the company, and I would rather not say until this all pans out. I will definitely post the name of the company eventually. I just don't want her to know what my plans are at the present time. I don't know if taking her to court will do any good, but it is worth it to make her miserable. It is a 2 hour drive for me, but I called and I can file via the U.S. mail. So it is only one trip.

Need a good pasta salad recipe..(sm)
We are going to have an easy and cool summer dinner tonight. Making chicken salad sandwiches. Want a good pasta salad recipe to go with it. Preferably a creamy (mayonnaise/sour cream) style. Getting bored with the italian dressing recipe lol
Thanks!
anyone have a good and easy pasta salad recipe?
Something quick and that can serve a lot of people...thanks!!!
Bowtie pasta - Zesty Italian dressing,
small bits of sharp cheese, raw broccoli cut up, and tomotoes cut up in tiny squares! So easy and delicious.
Sometimes, I throw a little bit of pepperoni in there for spice.
Any kind of pasta, you can add sliced black olives,
diced celery, onion, etc., then pour Cheese Fantastico salad dressing all over and mix together well. Chill until ready to serve. This is a big HIT with my family.
We just got Dish (sm)
We just got Dish about 2-3 weeks ago, switched from cable T.V. They had a terrific special going. With ours, we have 4 TVs hooked up to it, two boxes with one TV going off of it. The one in our LR has the DVR, which allows us to record, I'm not fully sure of how this works yet, it's pretty nice. The bedroom TV runs from the box in the LR. We have another TV in the basement, which the kitchen TV runs off of without a box. E-mail me if you want more information, I have a number you can call and they offered free stuff. From the research I did before ordering this, you get more for your money than DirectTV. The salesperson at Radio Shack also stated he felt Dish was better than Direct. Maybe someone else here can give their opionion since there is one for Dish and one for Direct now. My bill is approx $45 a month for 10 months, then approx $55, we have a special of a movie channel for 3 months free, along with the DVR and 4 TVs. I'm happy!
Creamy chicken and veggies with pasta and homemade biscuits...

Side Dish
Any suggestions for a side dish to go with spinach lasagna?
Wow, you have a lot covered in that dish. How about
cottage cheese. Bread of course.
What about DISH network?
We are not worried about the TV aspect as we do not own a TV! This would be strictly for the internet service.
Pasta prima vera, quiche, turkey in all its forms, Oriental stir fry. nm

want to try a new dish-chicken marsala-sm
and need to know if heavy cream is the same as heavy whipping cream which I saw at the store and what is dry marsala--a wine? Had this dish at an Italian restaurant recently and it was so good!!
Wonderful low-fat main dish
Here is one that I have used for years and it is wonderful. It does not sound too great, but in the end, it is melt in your mouth good.
2 lb. pork tenderloin roast
1/4 tsp. of each of these spices: marjoram, tyme, garlic salt, onion powder.
1/2 tsp. rubbed sage
1 tbs. worcesteshire sauce
2 tbs. soy sauce.
Mix all spices and sauces together. Pierce roast in several places and put in bowl with marinade. Put in fridge for at least 2 hours, turning roast to keep covered.
Place roast in oven safe dish with marinade and bake at 325 degrees until done. Check with meat thermometer. This is a great low-cal, low-fat dish.
We just switched from Dish to Directv - sm
Dish is slightly cheaper, but we switched for the following reasons; Dish took away our FOX NY channel in November because of some law passed in congress recently (we watch Nascar) which we were paying extra for (we are in VA), we cannot get local channels with Dish unless we upgraded dishs and cut down about 5 trees. I thought it was insane to spend $400+ in order to be able to get local channels. We had them out here a couple years ago to evaluate the tree situation, that was their answer. So we have just been without the locals as they do not come in very well with the antenna. So all our neighbors here have Directv without any problems or cutting down trees, and all with the local channels ($4.99 a month). We have FOX again (local though, DH liked having NY FOX because of the football games). I also did the additional room box, another $4.99 a month which we had not done since living in MD, and it is a nice benefit to have with the kids, DH can watch his football and if a show is on that the kids wanted to watch they can without a bunch of fuss. That doesn't happen too often but it is nice to have that option. I am receiving a $5 rebate for switching right now, plus will be getting an additional $10 off for 10 months once my rebate kicks in, so right now it is $56 a month, but that will jump to $61 when all is said and done. We have the basic pkg and HBO. I liked the guide and ability to scroll the channels better with Dish. But the Directv remote seems much sturdier (plus they replace them free of charge), with Dish we had to pay for any replacements at $70 a pop, we went through a remote every 2 years or so, the last time I said forget this and bought a universal remote for $10, still works great. If trees are not an issue with you then either will work fine, Dish is slighty cheaper but you own the equipment, you buy it. They just lost another channel of mine though that was one of my favories, Court TV, Directv has it though so I am happy. Directv you lease the equipment, hence the free replacements. I think if you only get 1 unit then there is no charge, but with 2 units then it is $5 a month plus the free replacements, etc. We bought our Dish Network dish for $400 with a rebate, so I think we paid $100 for it in the end, have no idea how they do it now though. Happy hunting!
Direct versus Dish.
I actually prefer Direct TV over Dish. My sister-in-law had dish and there was no rhyme or reason to the program guide. I don't have favorites set up, so I can't really help there. I also don't listen to the music channels but I have a house stereo. Anyway, I have had no problems with getting my remote to work. I can actually sit in my recliner, which puts me at an angle to the receiver, and I can easily change channels without having to move. I also don't have trouble finding anything on the guide. I have the premium plus, HBO, Cinemax, Starz, and my local channels.
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.
Recipe for angel hair dish...
*1 box Angel hair pasta
*2 dozen frozen raw jumbo shrimp thawed and peeled(thaws quickly under running water in collander)
*1-1/2 sticks butter and a 1/4 cup olive oil (prevents butter from hardening when cooled)
*A couple of cups of steamed (firm/not overcooked) and chopped brocolli
*Tablespoon of minced garlic or more or less to taste (I use the one in the jar - and we like garlic!)
*Salt and Pepper to taste - few dashes of each
*Melt butter and add oil, garlic, S&P on medium heat in small pot, mixing often
*Cook shrimp in butter mixture until just done and not overcooked, a handful at a time and removing when cooked and setting aside
*Cook and drain pasta, and transfer back into warm pasta pot
Add broccoli, cooked shrimp and pour butter mixture over all and blend together.
Top with parmesan cheese and a bit of parsley, if desired.
Delicious!!!
Need opinions on Dish TV versus Direct TV please.. sm
I have had both and currently have Direct but have never liked it due to the poor programming guide (only allowed to set up one Favorites, have to stand almost in front of the receiver for the remote to work, very difficult to find anything on the guide, not good music channels, etc.). I am only 9 months into a 2 year "programming contract" and feel I am going to be charged a cancellation fee though do not know how much. Anyway, I would like opinions from others on the service, etc. of both these companies before I make my decision to switch. Thanks to all who take the time to answer!
You can make the whole dish tonight and store in refrigerator!!
I do this all the time for church. Boil them, fill them and wrap good in wrap. Make sure you wrap them really good or your frig will smell like eggs! They will be fine for tomorrow!! In fact, I like them better!! Hope everything works out!
Dish Network versus Direct TV. Need advice..sm
I am trying to decide between Dish or Direct TV and would like to hear from those who have (or have had) either as to which system is better. I have done research on the web but would like opinions from users as far as reliability, service, channel selection, cost, if you can split a receiver between different rooms or need a receiver for each television in order to watch a different channel, etc. Any opinion is appreciated! Thanks.
Dish versus Direct Satellite service
I have had Direct Satellite for approximately 10 years now. Of course, the men have all the ESPN and other sports channels. But, our pictures are great (have on 3 televisions), and the DVR feature the kids love to record events. In the past 10 years now, service has only been out twice, and then that will be from severe storms, but it clears up quickly once the storm passes. I do not know anything about Dish, but heard that is also a good satellite program. It is not cheap with all sports and movie channels in, but they watch them all the time when home.
Seafood pasta and olive oil garlic sauce, red leaf salad, homemade bread with sun dried tomato
along with a big glass of white wine. MMMMMM
oh my gosh, would you, yourself, bathe in DAWN dish soap - ouch!
no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
Vaseline works too and to rinse out use Dawn dish soap.nm

You could bathe with a gentle shampoo or even dish detergent, rinse well and if you have vinegar do
a vinegar rinse and then do a final rinse. This might drown the fleas or at least stun them. If dog is light colored you might be able to see them and pick them off when dog is wet. If you have a dog brush, brush it outside and you might get some off that way. If you have tea tree oil you can put some around its neck area or on a collar if you have one. This is a fairly strong smell though and we've always had to wash it off the same day, though lots of people swear by this. I can't think of anything else you can do with stuff you already have around the house.
We adopted 3 kittens from the shelter and have never had a flea problem, but now we can't seem to get rid of them and my dog is on 3 different treatments and I still find an occasional flea. She has developed a sensitivity to bites too and scratches all the time and can't take prednisone because she has Cushings.
Growing up we had a tri-colored Pembroke corgi. He was the sweetest thing and I still miss him terribly, 30 years later.
Just slang for girls, from a long time ago. Lots of them.. Dish, Broad, Chick...

Why not provide the meat and have every bring a side dish, appy, or dessert? You're looking at to

Yeah, yeah, that should be "your work..."
Better a turkey widow then a turkey dish
Sorry for your loss!
Yeah, baby, yeah.
We are here for the long haul.
Oh, yeah!
I understand where you're coming from. The respect is just not there anymore. Everyone in this business has heard for years about how voice recognition and EMRs are going to replace us all, which I just don't buy. I work for a national on a difficult account with many ESLs, and it generates lots of work. Every summer we have problems keeping up with turnaround but the management has yet to come up with a solution that actually works consistently. I suspect it's a combination of MTs having kids home from school during the day now, vacations being taken, and people not working their schedules, but most of all I think it's just plain burnout - we deserve to enjoy the summer too. Last summer I worked so much to the point that I think I did substantial damage, and my body just cannot take it anymore (been at it for about 20 years, the last 10 years of it steady). The powers that be fail to understand that we are not machines! 
Oh yeah
Or when you are trying to sleep and in your mind you are dictating to yourself..i.e., and the patient..yada, yada, yada, happens to me all the time, especially if I have had a long stressful-difficult dictation day, LOL..Of even if Im day dreaming, sometimes I find myself falling into dictation mode, repeating dictating I have transcribed, or close to it..Yeow!!
Yeah.
intromission changed to interim admission. LOL
yeah right.
dream on.
Yeah - sm
Diskriter. If you have 3+ years experience and want full time work, brand new benefits and line incentive - send your resume to them.
yeah, right, sure he is.

Yeah, right
Saying it doesn't make it so. You are probably QA'd by people in India. What a crock.
Yeah, sure.
Uh-huh
That makes complete sense (not).
Oh, yeah.
I cheated on the soup, too, by buying a box of premade at the health food store. They've got such neat stuff there.
yeah, me too, and it's not
Yeah, well--
That's why this country is going down the toilet. Between the corporate greed and being overrun by the illegals, how long do you think it will last? The CEOs now don't care-- they are too busy counting their money and buying those expensive cars, yachts, and their third and fourth homes, etc. They have what I call the "Marie Antoinette" syndrome-- "Let them eat cake". They have theirs-- so the h*** with the rest of us!
yeah...
You are full of it. You aren't an MTSO. No place has a "crew" that is "all friendly and kind." They work at home, so how would you know what they are like? Even the rudest person can be nice for 2 minutes while talking on the phone to the boss.
Oh yeah!!
LOL - good going MQLover - like your style!
