you have one, or take out the ink jet cartridge and using a gentle wrist motion, turn it up and down a few times and replace.

I use an alcohol prep pad to clean the dirt off &
the corner of the packet it comes in I slide between the keys all around and I get these big dust bunnies that I just pull out with my fingers.  I also turn it upside down and shake it once in a while too.
Once a week, I clean my headset ears with alcohol.
Then swab out my ears after showering with Q-tips with alcohol on them. Keeps the itching down to nothing, and the ear wax doesn't build up that way, either.
I keep alcohol pads at my desk to clean the sponges on the earphones.
That takes away the itching and keeps the bacteria away!!


I am a smoker! I agree with the alcohol. I use rubbing alcohol every day on my equipment. sm
I smoke, bad habit I know, but I can't stand the smell either.
It's not like it's all that expensive to prep either.
Just $5 a week dedicated to food storage adds up to a good prep supply in no time. 2 cans of tuna and a bag of rice and beans one week, powdered milk and a canned ham the next, etc. Water is free when you store it in 2-liter pop bottles, and relatively inexpensive if you buy gallon jugs at the store. An oil lamp is about $10 at WalMart, and 1 bottle of lamp oil is a couple of bucks. The DGIs (don't get its) are idiots and I absolutely abhor my tax dollars being spent on them. Of course, the elderly and infirm I begrudge nothing. I just wish they could be the only ones we had to spend money on.
would like CMT prep materials
Hi everyone... how can I obtain some CMT prep workbooks, CDs, etc?  I bought the self-assessment tool of 60 questions ... but I'd like to follow-up on this.  Any leads for me ?   Thanks !  Jojo
RMT Prep/Oak Horizons
Does anyone have any experience with these courses. They cost $75.00 and last a month. Do I need these sample questions? Are they helpful?

OR

Do you think by current texts the the RMT review guide and BOS workbook is all I need?

Thanks in advance.
The prep is worse than the procedure, believe me. nm

Prep is definitely the worst part!
My gastroenterologist had me take Fleets Phosphosoda, which you can buy at your local drug store. Worked great and absolutely no cramping whatsoever. I told him I wanted to be put under and he ordered Ditropan, which worked awesome! I woke up feeling great and ready to go back to work! I have had two colonoscopies done and would not hesitate to have another one done if I needed to.
prep worse than very easy procedure....nm

Get the CMT prep guide. I studied the stuff I was rusty on like radiology.

Didn't study that much but the questions that were on the test were in the prep guide.  Good luck.  I am happy to be a CMT and proud of it and it does mean a little more money for me, and the cost was reimbursed by my employer.


Curious. I've never fasted for a colonoscopy, just clears for 2 days and then the colon prep. The

What's up with the alcohol?
What's up with the parents thinking it is okay for their kids to not only drink, but get plain drunk? I see this everywhere I look--scary. My neighbor's son just turned 17 and is smoking and drinking and his mom is like, oh well. The other night as he was leaving with some friends she yelled, make sure you get a DD (designated driver). Now isn't she a responsible mom? Crazy if you ask me. She'll be the one crying when something happens. Hmph.
But you might want to have some alcohol
to wash out some of the toxins from the coffee and diet soda! Red wine has flavinoids, which are an antioxidant! LOL!
alcohol was illegal once too
Alcohol was illegal at one time too..Marijuana should be legalized, there is no reason not to legalize it.  It will be legalized one day soon, Im sure.  It is less harmful than alcohol.
Because, as a Christian, alcohol was not an

option for me.


50/50 alcohol/vinegar
Works for me!
LOL There is alcohol involved in that
message. Lucky girl.
rubbing alcohol.......inside and out...nm

oh ok - and legalized alcohol drinking....N/M

Milk, Cream and Alcohol...
Oh, that's too funny with the doc prescribing a cycle of beer! There's an old blues song with the lyrics "Your doctor put you on milk, cream and alcohol." Maybe it's the same doc!

heads up on X-mas

My mother likes to read soap mags, and they have these advertisements for really pretty items at the back. I decided to see if they sold these items on the web, and sure enough:


http://ardleighelliott.collectiblestoday.com/ct/store/ardleighelliott/store_ae_front.jsp?cm_ven=Search&cm_cat=Google&cm_pla=Performics&cm_ite=j1792169


So, for anyone who likes to give these types of gifts, you'll find plenty here. I think the prices are fairly reasonable.


And, no, I have no connection with this company. I just think they have beautiful items that would make wonderful gifts.


That is because men have 2 HEADS! nm

What fun. Thanks for the heads-up. nm

Thanks for the heads-up.....sm

I have to tell you that I grew up in Scarsdale NY also (like Linda McCartney) and the rumor was she was an Eastman.  So, I thank you for the heads-up and I just did my own research and came up with this paragraph:


It is often stated that Linda McCartney is related to the Eastman Kodak dynasty. This is a myth and McCartney had no connection with the family, as she herself explained in an interview. Her maiden name of Eastman was an anglicised version of her family's original name, Epstein, coincidentally the same surname as the Beatles' long-time manager Brian.


thanks for the heads up

I'll definitely be watching with my box of tissues by my side.   


thanks for the heads up
I appreciate it. This will be parttime work for me as I have a fulltime job too so at least I have something to fall back on if it doesnt work out. It sounds like the hot keys are where it's at!

Thanks again
Exactly and I can't get that through their heads. sm
I took ICD9 and CPT only coding class in 2002. I'm taking a billing and coding class now which is not really heavy on the coding. I'm not ready to take a certification exam. Along with the housekeeping "suggestion" she also suggested "you might have to take a menial job." I assume she meant a minimum wage job. Why should I do that when I'm making more than that now? What possible "benefits" are worth that?
thanks for the heads up!
i wasn't paying attention to the "audio hour" not sure how that was calculated. nice of you to warn her!! :)
Can you go over both of their heads to the department
supervisor? Tell her that you're getting conflicting reports on your job performance. Do you have emails saying that you're doing great? Keep them, print them. Explain to the department head that you simply can't afford to pay for gas or daycare to work in-house. (Yeah, I've told my supervisors this before and their reply was that my daycare and gas expenses weren't their problem. I told them it was their problem and quit.) What is your production level? Eleven minutes or 130 lines per hour are about the average for direct hospital work. It's usually less than that in-house with all the interruptions and other tasks.

As far as the online company, can you work part-time or as-needed for them for a while? Is there any way you could do both jobs until after you get the bonus? You applied Friday and got called back Monday. That tells me that they're interested and you're a decent MT. How much research have you done into this company? Are you sure it's the best company for you? Honestly, if you're good, you'll get more offers. Sometimes it's nice to have the security net of a hospital job and a regular paycheck, especially with Christmas and bonuses coming up. Your production will probably drop by starting a new account, and it's not the best time of year to be taking a pay cut.
Thank you both for your responses, especially for the heads-up, lw.

I have been hesitant as well, not only here, but at other MT sites also. 


Are the other MT sites particular about who views the resumes as well? 


Are offshore companies allowed to view them? 


TIA


Have you tried cleaning the heads?
Check the printer software for an option to do that and/or diagnostic tool.
PA Sales Tax - HEADS UP PA MTs

Everyone has to know about this. I posted this on the tax board, too.


How desperate are the governors getting? PA sent out tax forms to everyone that bought cigarettes from a Native American reservation and they want their tax money. One woman in PA was hit up for over $4,800 and last week, they slapped a Sheriff's Sale sign on her property.


Now, my DH received a letter today. They want anyone in business who bought anything from out-of-state companies (office supplies, equipment, tools, etc.) that don't reciprocate taxes to PA, to pay up. This doesn't just apply to last year. This goes all the way back to 1981!!! Since when, since records do not have to be kept after a certain amount of years, how can they do this?  DH doesn't have to worry about it that much. He usually always buys in PA.


I certainly do not have any receipts back to 1981 when I was an IC!


It's bad enough the governor is "threatening" to raise property taxes if he can't pass the higher income tax, but now this. I think our state government should stop the spending like he's always done. We're broke, yet he keeps handing out money.


I will. Just wanted to give a heads up about this

thanks for the heads up..i'll stick with MPI

excellent news!! thanks for the heads up! nm

I do have deer heads in my den but at least I don't have a Volvo
with GreenPeace bumper stickers on it in the garage.
Wowzer! Thank you so much for the heads up on this company.

Oooh, thanks for the heads up- I can't wait to see it! nm

We all start "over our heads" (sm)
I remember thinking my first day on the job "well, here is something I know I'll never be able to do!" - That was 23 years ago and I love transcription. If time flies while you are transcribing, then it could still be the thing for you.
You can try cleaning the heads or changing out the
ink cartridge, especially if you have one of the trial or low capacity ink cartridges.

Go to your Start Menu, Control Panel, Printers and Faxes, right click on Dell Printer 720, Properties, General, Printing Preferences, Options pulldown menu in the top right hand corner of that screen. Then you go to Troubleshooting and you can check your ink cartridge levels. Cleaning is under the little ink drop menu tab on the left hand side under maintenance tool.
Thanks for the heads up on the Belkin. I'm crossing
this one off my list for sure...I've had to use that type of keyboard before where you have to push too hard on the keys - not good!
Thx for the heads-up! I haven't been in there enough to find that out yet. nm

Thanks for the heads-up. You are 2nd person I've heard that from

holding "outsourcing" over the MT employees' heads.


So I guess hospitals by and large still have not learned the lesson quite yet.


Sit back, they will. 


They haven't heard the "sucking" noise of their money going out the mail shute yet.  When they still have to hire people to CLEAN UP what comes back to them after spending wads of money TO BUY OR LEASE THE EQUIPMENT TO HAVE VR...and the finance and accounting man comes to the staff meeting and says WE ARE SPENDING MORE ON MEDICAL RECORDS AND TRANSCRIPTION  THAN ON THE WHOLE HEART DIVISION !!!! there will be a clanging of the doors to nationals.  (stay tuned )


That explains a great deal. Thanks for the heads up.
I unsure what the rambling incoherence was due to, but that makes more sense than just her being off her meds or something.
