did he say anything about ice packs?
may have changed since I dealt with any of this, but used to, 10 minutes on and 10 off. Maybe I am overreacting, but this seems worrisome to me. If you start running a temp I would call him immediately.
Just turn it off and wait for the electricity to dissipate and then clean it and turn it back on. nm

microwaveable hot packs sm
The kind you buy at the mall kiosks, etc., or craft stores. There are directions on the web how to make them with rice and herbal products in a cotton sack but I buy them. We have about 6 and my husband and I both use them for neck, shoulders. Helps put you to sleep as well. They are part of my wardrobe, takes 1.5 to 2 min., to heat in the microwave; couldn't live without them. One of those, a Benadryl and an acetaminophen, right to sleep.
Yes - smoke 1-1/2 packs per day. Tried and tried to quit to no avail.
I enjoy my nicotine - sad to say.
Ack!!! Sorry just realized you wanted packs and not years, but still the same method.

Turn down such low low offers, turn industry around. sm
The way to figure is how many lines an hour do you do. There are 13 lines characters in a line (65 line length)
So say you TRY to average 4 pages an hour say 34 lines a page equal 139 lines, times your line rate.
139 X 4 cents a line = $5.56 an hour
and what if you don't do 4 pages even less.
MTing hourly hourly output is not very predictablel, so ya never know and predict what you can put out each hour.
THE WAY TO TURN THE INDUSTRY AROUND IS TO SPEAK UP, SAY 'NO' THAT IS TOO LOW AND GIVE SHORT EXAMPLE.
If the MTs continue to accept, that is what the going rate will continue to be. Yes, Yes, it will. Just keep looking. Email for general lowest to highest line rate prior to testing and resume, just say it saves time on both sides and it DOES. Why waste time. Soon, the message will get out there.
Turn off puter, wait a min, turn on with delete key pressed down, then hit delete key NUMEROUS times

Pack years = packs smoked per day x years of smoking - sm
25 pack-years = 25 years of 1 pack a day, or 12-1/2 years of 2 packs a day.
I don't think pack-years applies to someone who smokes only cigars. But I don't know for sure.
yikes
Stouffer's frozen chicken enchiladas and a pint of Ben and Jerry's New York Fudge Chunk!
Yikes! I am going to the doc now! Thanks all! nm

Yikes
I, and I know I am one of very few, actuall enjoy MQ, and like reading all the topics (probable because I work for them). Maybe there should be a board for MQers only??
Yikes!!!
yikes
I have such claustrophobia that it gives me a fright just looking at it!!!
Yikes, but I'm okay.
That really was rotten. I feel better. Throat actually was closing off this time. Wow, I guess I've learned my lesson there. Gotta be more careful. My Daddy carries an Epi-Pen. I guess it runs in the family. This reaction was far worse than the last one. I did take a Benadryl, thanks for asking. I haven't had a chance to sleep it off, but MUST KEEP TYPING...I will be sending those puppies back. Take care everybody!
yikes
As an SE, the company should have been taking out taxes for you and you would have to fill out a Schedule C. Delay the visit and talk to a CPA, not a tax preparer and take 2002, 2003 and 2004 to see if they need amending.
Yikes!
The $250 million lean medical transcription (MT) industry in India is racing ahead to grab a major slice of the global $12 billion pie.
Industry experts told Business Standard that as the industry is maturing, players are adopting productivity enhancing tools, stringent quality control measures and training programmes and top this with highly improved communication facilities.
With an acute shortage of required skill sets in the US, the industry is set to become a top foreign exchange earner in the coming years.
The industry, which collapsed due to the low quality of the MT business adhering to a view that the only skill required by employees in MT was to listen and type, has in the last two-three years witnessed a comeback with a strong consolidation.
As per a Nasscom report, MT will become the fourth largest foreign exchange earner in the next five years.
Shedding light over the industry's potential, Rajiv Shetye, vice-president (Indian operations), Spryance India says, "The Healthcare BPO is a $200 billion business worldwide and medical transcription alone is worth more than $12 billion. The $110 million Indian MT industry will grow to become a $ 5-6 billion one in the next three years."
With six to seven strong contenders and 200 serious players in all, the employment potential of the industry is huge.
"The MT service in India has generated over 20,000 jobs and will add atleast 25 per cent more jobs per year," said Suresh Nair, CEO and Managing Director, Spheris India and President, Indian Medical Transcription Industry Association (IMTIA).
As for Spheris, he said, "the company is growing at 50 per cent per annum and expects to increase its employee strength from 2,300 currently to 3,000 in the coming year."
Spryance has also deployed over 1200 MTs including home-based medical transcriptionists and editors. "In five years time we plan to ramp up our employee base to almost 10,000," says Shetye.
Noting that the Indian industry has come a long way from just employing English speaking graduates to employing doctors and students of medical science, Pankaj Bendigiri, an MBBS by qualification and manager of Spryance's Quality Assurance (QA) centre in Pune says, "MT as a profession is attracting doctors as it offers them lucrative remunerations and career options besides keeping them updated with the latest developments taking place in the field."
Spryance has 20 doctors in its 100 people team in Pune and has started a six month QA course for doctors.
"Currently the second batch of 13 doctors is undergoing training," said Bendigiri, adding that in the first batch they had trained seven doctors mostly from the disciplines of Bachelor of Ayurvedic Medicine and Surgery (BAMS) and Bachelor of Homeopathy Medicine and Surgery (BHMS).
With highly improved communication facilities, "The trend of home-based Medical Transcriptionists (HMT) is also on the rise," says Nair, who has 10 per cent of his 2,300 people team working from home and credits the industry average to be higher at 25 per cent with few companies recruiting over 90 per cent HMTs.
yikes!!
I thought she was aging gracefully, now she looks like -------- The Joker...you are absolutely right.....
Yikes!
How you get the paint off depends on the type of paint it was. Best bet is to get the can and determine whether it was oil based or acrylic and then contact the paint department of a paint store for assistance.
yikes!!

Yikes.
They need to address the quality issue with each MT, not just a general blanket thing for everyone.
YIKES
This does not sound good for current employees of your ex-company.. good luck.. you gonna report the company to anybody?
YIKES is right! lol
yeah, its not good. I know several people are leaving, but they all know what happened to me and are taking steps to avoid it happening to them. I'm not going to report them to anyone, because I got paid finally, so not much I can do. i dont want to cause anyone any problems.. but I was getting ready to talk to a lawyer real soon if I hadn't been paid. Just wish I could get back the 266.00 in bounce fees....plus all the fees it cost me every time my DD was late.
Yikes-
I don't think I would continue to do work for them if I were you.
Isn't it the law that you have to paid within a certain time frame? Or is that just when they are letting you go?
Yikes!
"She says we earned an average of $25,408 in 2006 according to the Department of Labor Statistics."
How can we deserve this? Well, I'd be curious to get a copy. I went to the web site and I saw a bunch of stats from 2004, and then some quotes from MTs and they basically ranged the gamut from "electronic sweat shop" to "I love my job!"
Diane
Yikes.
Forward that to the hospital it's from.
Yikes..
20-25K a year! That is not much. But, I printed the 2008 Salary Table for GS, which states that a GS-5, Step-1 starts at 26K. And as you know, CS employees get annual raise increases. I know it is SO hard to get hired as a Federal employee, especially since I have no military service, nor spouse. I did work as a civil servant for DOD in the 1980's tho.
yikes
I just read my post above and it's a mess!!! Sorry for the errors - I just got done doing aerobics and my hands didn't want to type!!!
YIKES!!
I realize that many doc feel this way, but it's really scary when one comes right out and verbally admits to it... I agree that it's time to find another cardiologist.
yikes
Gosh. It just shouldn't be this hard should it. I just don't get it. Thanks for the empathy tho :)
I will never complain about $2.12 again! Yikes!
..
YIKES! I better rethink this.
I've read a bit about that on ebay that they will reimburse you for any down payment lost or if the car never arrives or is not in the condition represented in the auction, so I thought it might be a good deal. I'm just beginning my search. Thanks for responding!
Yikes! I almost feel sorry for him.

Yikes, did anyone get to see Meatloaf on AI?
What the heck happened there? Was that a song of his? He was awful. Poor Kat...she just isn't getting a break, is she? 
Yikes, should be Plan. nm
.
Some *states*. YIKES!
.
I power nap too!
I doze for about 10-15 minutes, but usually only when I didn't get enough sleep the night before. Usually, a cup of coffee and a quick break and I'm good to go again.
power nap
 Finally got the hang of it and can fall asleep pretty quickly, but now I don't get up with the alarm, cause I know it's going to stop soon, so I sleep through it, or at least wait for it to stop. No discipline? Suggestions?
I was over it right away...he is still in power
 
will be using Philips. Yikes, I'm terrified now! LOL nm

Yikes! You ~do~ know that "oriented" isn't a verb, right? nm

yikes ! ESL driving me nuts
Just a quick vent - for the last 45 minutes I have mostly been listening to the sound of her breathing with an occasional "continuing dittation" thrown in here and there followed by more breathing  . I even heard someone in the background say "You can push 1 to put it on pause" which she does for a split millisecond and then continues back with her breathing/"continuing dittation" pattern. Not having a good day today.  Beam me up Scotty, Please ! 
Yikes. Hope you feel better. nm

Glad this isn't my doctor..yikes!
Dictated by a resident...
He is currently receiving Keflex for a "spider bite" that he received from his primary care physician.
$30,000 ---- YIKES! That's a year and a half's
I wish I had the money, and still had the time, to become a court reporter. Interesting work, banker's hours, great pay. And they can ask the people talking to speak up, slow down, repeat stuff, etc. I wish I'd had the foresight to pick CR back when I was 23 or so, instead of MT. I thought I'd made the right choice, but man, was I ever WRONG!
so you think that shrub has the power to
change Islams into Christians? That is just not going to happen, no more than you could change me into a Muslim! No, he needed to go after Bin Laden, a friend of the shrub family, as you may or may not remember. Do you know that he stole away a bunch of Saudi Arabians out of the US the night of 9/11 or 9/12? His buddies. He had to go after somebody and was not going to be Bin Laden, so he thought, and he thought right, that the religious rightwing would accept getting Saddam out of the way. Now professing to want to bring Christianity and freedom to the Muslim world. OMG, if that is not megalomania, I don't know what is!
girl power
high five
power of attorney
by QA mgr says im supposed to capitalize but i dont agree (so i dont, hehe)
And that's cool...more power to ya!!
And you are quite fortunate to have found what you love to do! Take care!
Yup, real power comes
.. when you do the "right thing", even tho you want to pile all his stuff up, douse with gasoline, and throw the match! Revenge can be sweet in the moment, whether in words or actions, but the regret lasts a looooong time, and it gives him something to throw back at you and your kids. This way, you can be proud to hold your head up and just keep movin' on......
Car power supply.
I use a power converter that you can buy at Wal-Mart for about $35. I keep it in the car all the time.
I take a 10-minute power nap (sm)
When I find myself to the point of not being able to focus, I set my timer for 10 minutes and sleep on the couch. I usually can finish my shift, but I sometimes have to take a little nap again later. I work 5 hours during the day and my last 3 hours from 9 to midnight. Sometimes, I also step outside when it's cold. I hate being cold, so that really wakes me up. No amount of caffeine will wake me up. I am almost to the point of finding just a part-time job during the day because it is hard to be productive at night when all I want to do is crawl into bed. Good luck!
