It's no wonder so many of them are permanently closing. (sm)
In some cities, what used to be a 5-minute ambulance ride (with a REAL problem, not a splinter) has turned into a half-hour search for a hospital that still has one.
Are you with a company? Their software might have something permanently set in

Venting vs permanently negative
Sure, sometimes we just want to vent. We get it off our chest, get a little validation, then we feel better.
But some folks just don't get over it. There's plenty of them at on-site jobs as well. Complaining becomes a way of life. We've all met them, they search diligently for what's wrong with any and every situation. They are full of dire predictions when anyone else is happy, when anything changes, when they get out of bed in the morning.
On this board, I've seen many people unable to let go once they get it off their chest. They make sure to bash a company they worked for a few years back every time its name comes up. If anyone tries to give them a suggestion to improve a problem, they shoot it down in the nastiest way. These people claim to have tried "everything" and sneer at anyone who keeps trying, and they never admit they are venting for venting's sake.
I think the point the OP was making is valid, because there are many chronic complainers here. They are very unhappy in general, and they refuse to be proactive and try to change all the wrongs they see. Its hard to give them any sympathy when all they want to do is argue and be very hateful to anyone that doesn't agree that everything is awful and nothing can be done about it.
Just my opinion, but if you are permanently disabled, you are not able to work, right? I don't t

In WP, anyone know how to permanently change 'View' in the search
window so it always shows a list and not thumbnails? Maybe this is a system-wide thing? Thanks.
So, no way to change it permanently? I knew about clicking on FORMAT, sm
but wanted a way to change it so I didn't have to do that every time I go into Escription. Thanks though. 
drinking...
You seriously think you kid is going to tell you that he is drinking? Very, very few kids get out of junior high these days without having smoked pot and had some alcohol at the least. Any parent who isn't aware of that has his/her head in the sand. Waiting until college to drink is extremely rare.
BTW, go to a a teen AA meeting - they'll tell you that many of them started drinking when they were in 2nd or 3rd grade. Parents are the easiest people in the world for kids to fool - the kids will tell you that.
Drinking
Just a few weeks ago our son went to a party and when we called the house, the father was drunk and some teenage girl got on the phone and pretended to be the mother. Needless to say, he was told he had 10 minutes to be home and he was really POed and there was a big fuss up in our house. Yesterday on the news there was a story about a mother serving alcohol to minors and there were arrests made. Guess what, these were the same people we called our son home from. I am soooo happy about this. They got what they deserved and I hope that some of the other parents in our town got the message. 
Drinking one right now at 7:30 pm...
usually about 10 mugs a day :)

It does sound like your BIL needs to get into detox and not just counseling. Alcoholism is a disease and as long as anyone enables him he will continue. Oh yes, they are very sorry, apologize, cry, feel very badly. But, in the long run they need help. He is probably also depressed from his fall/brain surgery. I would suggest seeking out a detox center/rehab center program. I know, I have been married to a recovering alcoholic for 25 years now, who has been clean and sober for 23 years. It truly is a rough road. I stopped enabling my husband and he finally got "the program.' Good luck, the main thing is protecting your sister in law and the children and getting your brother in law the program he needs. He may not get it the first time, but if everyone stops enabling him, he just might. I feel for you as I do truly know what drinking does to a family and my prayers are with you all.
drinking spouses
ranting with drinking will only go into abuse usually & you do NOT want to go through this nor do your children deserve to...contact your local YWCA on their Women helping Women programs. My prayers for some peace for you
Yes along with drinking my pot of coffee! nm

Drinking Poll
I'm not a working MT yet, but I don't see anything wrong with having a drink after work. During work is a different story, that in my eyes is the equivalent to a bus driver boozing it up before his/her shift. 
Drinking and Transcribing sm
Someone's life is placed in my hands when I sit down to transcribe. One letter out of the way such as an "a" could change the meaning of someone's medical diagnosis. One slip of a wrong medication or dosage and the patient could die. We all know when docs get used to us getting things right, they don't even read what they sign. One pass-over of a word that we don't want to take the time to look up could kill a patient. Don't tell me to lighten up, please. That's your excuse! I have had an anaphylactic reaction to a medication. If someone decided to skip over this or whatever - I could die, yes, DIE! I would no more drink and transcribe than play Russian roulette with an infant. Sorry, it's probably what you don't want to hear, but I would not want you NEAR my medical history. I once had a student skip over an allergic reaction and instead of looking up the name of it she just typed "the dye". When I caught her on it, she shrugged her shoulders as if it didn't mean a thing. She just wanted to get her line count in, looking things up took away from her $$$.
Please take me seriously, it's worse than drinking and driving. It's a serious, serious thing to do. Alcohol definitely affects judgement and makes you sloppy. Slop and medical transcription do not go together. I don't want to kill anyone tonight, do you? If you want to drink, that's your business, but don't drink and type someone's medical record! Don't bother responding for me to "lighten up" because anyone with half a brain knows I'm right! If you drink constantly, then you're still "drunk" when you get up in the morning, coffee does NOT sober you up. That's BS.
 Put the plug in the jug!
About drinking coffee....
I gave up caffeine a few years ago. I used to drink 8 to 10 LARGE mugs of coffee a day but gave it up.
The bad part about being caffeine free was waking up in the morning and thinking "This is as good as I am going to feel all day long."
But....I got used to it. 
Yeah, I've been drinking a lot too lately,
coincidentally since 1/1. Oh, you mean coffee... Well that too! 
oh ok - and legalized alcohol drinking....N/M
.
Gambling, excessive drinking, working too much, etc.
These are all unfaithful if they take time away from those to whom you are committed.
Drinking and Transcribing sm Posted By: No Prude
 So I'm addicted.....what's the big deal??? But **I*** have never been drunk while at work! I am completely in control of all that needs to be in control for MT work. You see, we all have our crutches. Some smoke. Coffee is a big time popular drink, don't you think? Some like to sip wine. Others just have to have rum and Coke. And, still others will drink Bud Light cause it less filling! My addiction that I have happily supported all these years and will for many years to come is Yummy Pepsi! 
Do you have to be snockered to understand that message, I should take up drinking again!! NM
nm
Yep, the drinking is exacerbating it. Causes a person to ruminate. I feel your pain.

After years of drinking diet drinks, I am off Nutrisweet, Splenda, etc. due to health reasons..sm
but I really don't want to drink sugar drinks/juices and cannot stand water! Does anyone have any drink suggestions? I am at a loss. TIA
Do little kids like caramel? My big kids won't even eat it! We make the basic Baker's chocolat

see what I mean? LOL ... physical not physician...

physical lines
If you are on DQS,the physical line (the line you see) in the text is not the 65-character line you are paid by. And the number of characters in that line can vary depending on how high/low you have your text zoom (smaller font would be more characters on a line and fewer with large font).
Your lines are calculated by dividing the amount of characters in a report by 65. It has nothing to do with the "line" you see on the report.
The best way to be sure DQS is counting your lines correctly is to import a report into a word processing program that counts characters, divide that amount by 65, and see if it matches your DQS count. I've done this and it is correct including spaces and the red headers.
Hope this is what you were asking and hope this helps :)
Did you get physical address??
Did you get the name of her company and the physical address? Phone number? There is a lesson to be learned here -- you still need to get all of this info in case something like this happens again. Unless you have a physical address you cannot send a demand letter with return receipt or serve her with papers or anything. Hopefully you do have that and can send her a written certified letter demanind payment within 10 days. Then onto small claims court. But none of this is possible without a physical address. Good luck. If you have her full name or business name and city -- you might be able to do a search to find a phone number. Did her check to you have a phone number on it? I always take a copy of the front of checks at least the first one so that I have their account number, etc. Also shows payment. Let us know how it comes out.
Physical Therapy
I have a physical therapist interested in me doing his transcription. It is a small office, they only work about 3 days a week, and I was wondering what to charge him per line? I currently work for an eye dr. making .11 a line and a service for .09. I may have to travel once a week to pick up tapes?(hope not) Any feedback is appreciated.
I never said you shouldn't have kids! Feeling guilty? I asked WHY you had kids.
You clearly stated in your post that you ship the kids off to camp all day, and they're TIRED AT NIGHT!! You know exactly what you said. You said it as a PERK - AS IN GREAT! They're gone all day, it wears them out, and so I shovel dinner in their mouths and off to bed! You can try to paint it any way you want, but YOU SAID IT. Again, I only hope your kids never hear you speak that way or write that way. Shame on you. Why have kids at all? Just another parent who has them, gets rid of them for day AND night, BRAGS ABOUT IT, and then calls ME wicked! Give me a break! Camp is fine - its WHAT YOU SAID AND YOU KNOW IT. Your own words showed your heart. Period.
What?! You are WRONG? Physical Therapy - more than that.
Pharmacy - WAAAAY more than that. In fact, I don't think ANY of those pay $12 to $18 an hour. You really should open your eyes and look around.
DH would be outpatient, and then physical therapy.
He has decided not to have surgery, at least not now. He would be out of work 3 weeks without short-term disability and only 1 week of sick pay, plus he says we can't afford surgery. While that is true, if you need it, you need it. I think he's as much scared as anything. The only surgery he has ever had was a vasectomy under a local and he refuses to take anything stronger than Tylenol. He isn't hurting now, no swelling, etc. so it isn't like he is in daily pain. I've tried to talk him into the surgery because we've met our deductibles and while it isn't that much we would have to start over with that, but I can't make him do it.
Physical Therapy Transcripiton
Hello! I'm looking for any of you that are experienced as Physical Therapy transcriptionists. Can anyone give me a head's up about transcribing in this specialty? I've done psychiatric for the past five years and am pretty sure I'll get this position I've applied for at a local clinic. Any support, resources, etc. would be fantastic!
Thanks in advance to all,
Terry
yearly physical (joke)
I went to the doctor for my yearly physical. The nurse starts with certain basics.
How much do you weigh?" she asks.
"115," I say. The nurse puts me on the scale. It turns out my weight is 140.
The nurse asks, "Your height?" "5 foot 8," I say.
The nurse checks and sees that I only measure 5' 5".
She then takes my blood pressure and tells me it is very high.
"Of course it's high!" I scream, "When I came in here I was tall and slender! Now I'm short and fat!"
She put me on Prozac
Have you considered Physical Therapy?
Or occupational therapy? There is a great need for it, it helps people, and you generally don't kill anyone (grin). While it takes a master's degree to be a physical therapist, the assistant is a 2-year degree.
I have an application in to the physical therapy program at my university, and I'm a little nervous because I'll be turning 50 my next birthday. On the plus side, I won't have children surreptitiously sticking the cat into a Ziplock bag while I'm trying to study this time.
Need some physical therapy websites
Just got a call for transcription for 2 physical medicine doctors and 5 physical therapist and they want me there tomorrow. I'm looking for some websites for terminology/word list/samples that I can review. Thanks. Wish me luck. This is a temp to hire position both onsite and at home. Sounds good to me.
Gross physical line??
From what I have been told, a gross physical line is anything typed on a line, regardless if it's one letter or 65. My question is ... would 8 cpl on a gross physical line for acute care be good pay? How about 7 cpl on a gross physical line for emergency room reports? Thanks
Physical therapy website
Have been trying to find a good PT website. I Googled and did not find what I was looking for, which is a site that lists tests, like "cat and camel" and so forth.The sites I have found are not user friendly.
Walking will not only improve your physical health
but probably your mental health too. You'll get fresh air, take time to smell the roses, meet your neighbors, etc.
Unfortunately I live in the county and we are 8+ miles from anything.
Did he have blood work w/his job physical? Maybe they missed something. nm

Please excuse my typo above - physical therapy

Any kind of intimacy emotional or physical
is being unfaithful. Put your effort into your best friend, who should be your mate, otherwise, what is the point? If you put your effort into someone else, of course you would be close.
Honestly, your heart knows what is right and wrong. Listen to it. Respect your relationships or expect to be disrespected yourself.
Physical therapy format needed...
I just started a new account which is typed in a form in Word. It is not very efficient. Can anyone suggest where I can find a basic format for transcribing physical therapy evaluations.
Thanks
Physical fitness exams DO NOT require
breast exams. We are required to have them for school before certain grades in our state, and never do they do breast or GYN exams on kids.
I just looked at the physical form online...
There is nothing on it about a breast exam, sorry. I live in PA, too. My daughter got her permit a couple of years ago and she did not have a breast exam. (I'm still with you on the Gardasil, though!)
IF IT'S THE PHYSICAL STRAINS YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT...SM
How many waitresses do you see in their 60s and early 70s doing a job that would rival any nursing job as far as physical strai?. You might want to look on the NURSING BOARD, where they have students 58-59 y/o just starting nursing school; I'm among them, even though I have prior nursing education and need to finish up a few months/years.
If you think a full-fledged RN program might be too much to carry at this point, have you considered an LPN course for 12 months FT or 18 months PT study? LPNs make a fair salary, even as newbies ... beats this MT "indentured servitude".
Kids are demanding and so is MT work. My question is how CAN you do this with kids, rather than how
When you have two young kids, 11 months apart, (like I stated they are now 4 and 5) and have been doing this since they were born with no help from their father and no family around, YES, the kids get neglected. Part time might work but living on one salary, part time, is not an option. How can you possible tell me that anyone with two young kids can stay at home and work a full-time, 8-hour shift, and still give their kids the attention they NEED. I dont care how good you are at multitasking and how great your organizational skills are. It is a very difficult thing to do. And I am offended by your post making it sound as if it is easy to do.
I do agree that it can depend on how well your kids behave and how well they are able to play on their own. But my kids were not able to play well on their own. They needed constant attention.
So please take the time to realize that there are people out there in different situations than your own.
Reading our posts should help you to understand that everyone has a different situation. I believe everyone should have the right to shares their experiences as it might benefit the original poster in her questions and concerns.
I dont think anyone should be bashed for taking the time out to write about their experiences. I dont usually come on here to argue but you really ticked me off with your post. And try reading the post correctly. I said next time around I would have put them in day care. What I DID do with them was set them up to an activity like art or put on a movie for them. Geez.
Stayed "because of the kids?" I say "leave because of the kids"
You're in no position to buy right now. Keep saving, keep paying down your bills, and for heaven's sake get rid of that dead weight of a BF you're living with. You can do better.
So, should I return the $75 (x2 kids) in music cards I got the kids for x-mas...sm
My son has been telling me about free music sites and I was very leary. How do they skirt the law Radguy?
I don't have kids, but my Mom was from the "old school," and still had everyone, kids inclu
call her by her first name. The little neighbor girl next door from the time she could speak called her Aggie (my mom's first name), and they were great buddies until the day my mom pased away.
I don't think there really is much in a name, but more in the respect you are given and the way you are treated. Personally, I kind of cringe inside when someone calls me Ms. Anything or God forbid, "maam" (makes me feel like Methuselah!) ... I'm always just plain Merrie. :-)
But, as someone pointed out, to each his own. If you want to be addressed a certain way, you have that right, and people should respect that. I'm glad you corrected the child ... hope it "sticks." 
HEADERS....as in what? The things like HISTORY AND PHYSICAL headings?
or the heading at the top of the page that we don't type?
and do you find it a little offputting that they can't put in writing that they pay for spaces? it makes me think all is not kosher.
IF by PT you mean Physical Therapy -- it's EASY! I love PT, don't get it where I work now tho
