What a small world!
My granny turned me on to them too! And I, like you, used to be run out of the kitchen by them but being the good Southern girl I am, I learned to love them! So does everyone in my immediate family except 8 of my kids. They can't stand them, but my 13 sisters and 9 brothers all thought it was a great day when mama would make them for dinner! Yee haw!!!
Small Zero what in the world?
OMG, had to laugh. "____ showed her to have AML capital A, capital M, capital L, slash, capital M, 4, dash, capital E, small zero." When doctors need to simplify. I know how to type staging of cancer thanks. What the heck does he think he's talking about small zero?
MT is such a small world.
I want to apply for a second job in addition to the one I have. Assuming the new company will ask where I work now. There is no policy at my current job which prevents me from doing this. Just not sure how to handle it when I am asking and how to keep the current job from knowing about the other one. Do recruiters have contacts with other recruiters and compare notes? I just don't want to get all the bad dictators when they find out.
It is a small world! I can't wait to talk to her
Monday and see what they have to offer. Hopefully, it will be the line rate I'm looking for and I will give it a try. I wish she could have gone ahead and talked to me today, but I guess she was busy. My main reason for leaving my other job is not enough work. They are losing the account I'm on and don't have enough backup work so I've barely been working the last few weeks. Before that, I liked my job. In this business, it is always up and down. Maybe this will be a turning point.

York, PA here. Hi to the both of you!
small mentality usually means small pocketbook
Still make more than you and I but that is deserved. They've put the effort forward and educated themselves.

I have finished my MT course and I am waiting for my results, hopefully this week. I live near Glens Falls, New York, and was wondering if there was anyone here who was from my area. I would love to hear from anyone in the vicinity. Elsie
My New York relatives used to rag on me:
and say when I visited, "She's from Massatoothetts where they thay 'Pahk the cah in Havaad Yaad.' " (Note: My relatives have no teeth, hence the lisp.)
Cue the banjo's.
anyone from York, PA area? sm
i am looking for info on an OB/GYN named, Rosean Freundel. i can't find her on any of the MD websites. anyone have any contact info on her? she delivered my SIL's baby and she needs to request her records. she delivered at York Hospital about 2 years ago.
I LIVE IN NEW YORK, BUT...SM
right now work as a ful-time employee status. Do I understand your post to mean that I, as a New York resident, cannot work as IC if I chose to? Thx.

Stephanie from PA: I've been to York sm
to the H-D assembly plant a few years ago. Loved the area there and the proud people working for H-D. So sad to see the demise of the jobs in the PA steel mills and the loss of jobs in the American auto industry to foreign manufacturers. Very sad, indeed. I come from a manufacturing area, now virtually ghost towns with just service jobs left.

Sent It to New York Times and Associated Press
Send this or your own letter. Let us know if anyone gets a response.
No way, in New York or CA you can't live on $11.50 an hour.
I understand your message and get what you are saying; however, it is literally impossible to live on $11.50 an hour in those two states, and probably a few others. You can't even get a 1 bedroom studio apartment for less than $1500 a month, not including utilities, then food, clothing, and other bills. Sorry, can't do it.
Hi Ella! I'm from New York City
I grew up in NYC.. multicultural, diverse, many different neighborhoods. I love NYC . Rude New Yorkers are a stereotype. All kinds of people here. Visit it sometime.
Love your posts, though... ths is an MT board - active, retired, former, and anyone who's thinking about becoming one.
Does anyone know anything about the Greenwood Lake area of New York?

okay, york hospital said they had delivery records, but no prenatal records. sm
they had no idea who she practiced with or anything like that and of course SIL doesn't know any name other than Freundel. i am also a midwife besides being an MT and in order for me to take her given her bicornuate uterus, i have to have her records. i guess delivery records is better than nothing, LOL, but i have to have her prenatal records. i wonder if there is a clinic there or something that med students rotate through. i couldn't even find ms. freundel on AMA, but she may not be through with her training yet either and that is probably why.

Is MT-WORLD, the same company as ATSI? I'm confused...dk
How in the WORLD is this possible?
you must have absolutely wonderful account(s) with tons of canned text!

Welcome to my world...
This explains my summer exactly. My kids have never argued so much. I have three boys and two girls. The girls are the oldest and have been fighting almost daily. We got to the point where we forced them to sit together and hold hands in silence for a certain period of time because we knew they'd hate that at the age of 10 and 9. It actually did work. They don't fight as much as they did a few weeks ago, and when I threaten them with holding hands they stop.
C.C.
How in the world do you do that?
I work 2 part-time positions and feel pretty stretched most of the time. I cannot imagine doing 2 full-time positions.
Congratulations!
What in the world?
What happened to your face? I've never seen anything like it. Did someone fart on it or did you have a really bad accident? Wow, it is unbelievable to me how ugly some people in this world are. What in the heck!
WONDER WHY THE WORLD IS LIKE IT IS?

How in the world did AT&T
If I were you I would insist on talking to some higher ups at AT&T. Unlimited long distance is exactly that.
and the world is all about ego. Never, never
tell your boss something is wrong, even with one of their choice (or not so choice) picks of supervisors, because then you are telling them may have made a mistake in the person they selected, and that is also a blow to their ego.
then how in the WORLD
do you think he's going to know what the patient's problem is next time he/she comes in for followup if he DOESN'T READ THE DANG TRANSCRIPT???? Ask the receptionist maybe? Geeshhh!
I have the best job in the world
Have worked hourly for the past decade. Love it. Now at around 30/hr with 9 weeks paid vacation a year. Would not trade it for anything. Nice getting paid when work is slow or when you have "off" days.
It is a whole new world
There are so many more words and medications to deal with but you should pick it up quick, just like any other field. A lot depends on what particular field you are working in. (Breast, heme-malignancies, thoracic, GI, Gu....) If you want I will send you some sites I used when starting and still use.
It is a new world
I agree that oncology is a new world, but it is very interesting and I just love when I have oncolgoy work. The hardest part for me was the radiation drugs, but I have a good website for those. It was about a month before I felt in the zone. :)
Best in the world???
I know that we would all like to believe that, but it gets tougher and tougher all the time. I just did a quick search, as I knew that either last night or the night before I had heard or read about our ranking among the 191 or 193 countries included in the WHO ranking. The results I came across put us 37th back in 2000, and that number fell from the 1997 ranking of 24th (I believe it was).
I don't know about you, but I do not consider 37th place the best, nor do I consider best to be a country where a woman dies on the ER floor while a janitor mops around her and both her boyfriend and another person in the ER have to call 911 -- Imagine, having to call 911 from the ER . . . pitiful.

How in the world
do you manage to do so much? Any suggestions appreciated. I am struggling to reach 1000 per day. Also, about how many hours did it take to achieve this? Thanks!
HOW IN THE WORLD?
Does a grown woman swallow two loop earrings? Yep. Did reports on a woman (whom I know as I live in a small community) who swallowed two loop earrings and had to have EGD to retrieve them! I have typed plenty of swallowed foreign body reports on children but a grown educated woman?
Maybe not end of world, but....
a significant dent in paycheck if you are paid production.
Just like you, I did the typewriter/correction tape thing. I typed about 50 radiology reports/day back then, and that was considered very high. I was paid hourly, working on-site, had benefits and all that, so it didn't matter if I typed 50 or 10 reports, I got paid the same.
Most of us are now paid production. With word Expanders and spell check, my current average is 125-150 radiology reports/day depending on which one of my accounts I work the most on. As another poster said, when you are typing 90 mph you make typos. If I am paid production, I will not take the time to look up spelling via Google, a dictionary, or whatever or sit here and read over every report I type when there are programs available to do that for you. Time is money when you are on production pay. Our pay has gone down over the years, and keeping production up is the only way to compensate. Without spell check or word expanders, speed slows significantly down as you proof read and double check each report, therefore the paycheck takes a hit.
To say we are 'spoiled' I think is the wrong term. I for one am grateful! Those tools are what we need to make a survivable wage in 2008. In typewriter days, we weren't paying $3+ for gas and oil. A gallon of milk was not $4. It's all relative.
To the OP, there is no way I would take a job without Word Expanders AND a spell check unless it was hourly pay. If they do not provide you with them, see if they will allow you to install your own personal copy. You will offset the cost of that software within a month if you are paid production and you can deduct it on your tax return.
What in the world?
Come on people. You actually believe this?
Welcome to MT world
This has been going on for as long as I have been doing this, 10 years now. What is really annoying is when you get some dictators that are consistent, and you get them down pat, they will vanish off the face of the earth. You could try ESR (speech recognition)editing, but it pays real low, and it is very very tedious work, very boring. I can say, I will quit this business all together before I get stuck doing that all day long, which might come sooner than later. Good luck!!
The MT world
depression, weight gain, isolation, eye strain, backache, joint aches it sucks
MT world of fun
Boy.. do I totally agree with you.. isolation, four walls closing in, stress, big time weight gain.. crappy hours.. neck pain, arm pain, shoulder pain.. I thought I was all alone on this one ... helps to hear I might be in the "norm"..
Who in the world do you think would do the
point and click work? The physicians? other dictators? I am not worried about transcription because I see it as not going completely away, might have VR but even that has to be edited by people who know what they are doing, example a transcriptionist. Don’t worry about what you cannot control anyway.
Does anyone know what in the world Hypokinesis is??
I know it means "decreased contractions of the heart," but I'm trying to figure out what causes it, tests for it and treatments...can't find much at all. They found it on my echo Monday and I have an appt on Aug 5, but I'll go NUTS until then!
TIA

What? How in the world can you say that? I AM showing
compassion. Yes, I'm a mother. I can't pat her on the back and try to settle her. She seemed upset. I was trying to soothe her irritation, literally.
I think you have taken me wrong. I'm very tender with my babies and I thought I was coming across that way to the post above as well.
Gee, I'm sorry if she took that wrong.
