Listen . . . .what is your real posting name anyway?
My priorities are not your concern. It is a well known fact that people who abuse animals easily go on to violent behavior against people. If clubbing innocent dogs to death doesn't bother you, it should. There are much better ways to deal with a rabies problem than that. Perhaps instead of ranting about my priorities, maybe you could put your energy toward helping create a solution for the abuse of innocent childern or one of the other million problems going on in the world. What ARE YOU doing to help make the world a better place?

It's one thing if there's infidelity, substance abuse, physical abuse,
neglect of the family, verbal/emotional abuse, gambling, criminal activity, drug dealing, or other addictions. However, temporarily being a bonehead isn't a crime against the marriage.
China?
Costco owned by China you say?
So what? SO WHAT?????
I just left China
Actually, I just left China. Poor old souls. Not many pretty women in China.
I needed to get home to the states to see all the beautiful women. I felt like I was intoxicated when I came through the door at Medquist and saw all my beautiful gals.
Sara Lee in China?
I'm also hearing that Sara Lee, you know, cakes and pastries? Well they also have many of their products made in CHINA now!!!
yep, it's china - who will take over world by
google that subject......if you so desire....about China taking over the entire world (not in my lifetime thankfully) by 2039-2040.
I remember when I was 12 years old, a chinese restaurant in White Plains, NY, that my folks took us too all the time, was closed down because they found dog and cat bones in their trash.
LOL - in another 25 years China will be
If indeed more co. using China labor we need

Not the least of the borrowed $$ from China is for...sm
of course, those stimulus checks! Does that make sense to anybody? Not me in this credit-card-driven economy. This is starting to catch up with this country. Some day very soon, trust me, we are going to be owned by other countries - or just plain bankrupt and barely scratching by. My thoughts (from some research I've done) are that this will be yet another third-world country, thanks in the largest part to Bush and his wasteful spending on everything but this country or its citizens!!! Such a sad state of affairs!
Some abuse QA
This is certainly not everyone's case (in fact, it is a very, very small percentage) but we have MTs who send stuff to QA rather than research. Some of the blanks I get are plain medical terminology 101. Some can be found by typing a single word in Google and finding the appropriate reference.
It is unfortunate that the lazy MTs have made it bad for all MTs. QA penalties have had to be instituted because of this abuse.
Another point I would like to make, you say you are sending work to QA for correct patient name spelling - we do not have a census and are working at home like you, so we do not have access to patient's names. If the physician does not spell the name and it does not come up on the report, do not send it to QA. I'm sure your company has a policy for dealing with names - when they are not given, not spelled properly, etc. Find out what that is and follow the procedure. That should eliminate unnecessary blanks to QA.
QA abuse
In ANY business you are going to find the rare but ever-annoying case of incompetence. It's easier in this line of work because of the remoteness and anonymity that comes along with it. This mind-set is eventually exposed for what it is. Then the rest of us go on and do our professional best. :)
Used to be machinist, until all the jobs went to china. NM

killing of dogs in China
Please click on the following link to help stop the killing of the dogs in China in such a horrible inhumane way. Thank you.

thank you for the dogs in China link
We CAN make a difference - thank you.
"How to off-shore MT to China?"...
Why in the WORLD would they be involved with something in China, unless they are planning to assist them with taking MORE of our work????? I can see it now . . . first China, then India, Pakistan...on and on. We can pay to watch them put us out of work. Yipee. "American" was taken out of the name for obvious reasons.
Same here, although I won't be spending it on a trip to China
I do disagree about not being good at MT though. I think many competent MTs shoot themselves in the foot by not recognizing the value of their skills and working for less than they are worth.
Especially their interest in CHINA, of all places. -sm
Look at what's been coming out of there already - poison pet food, poison people food, badly made and dangerous children's toys, flimsy everything else, etc. They try to bend the rules on just about everything they make & export.
Imagine the quality of their medical transcription.....
[* SHUDDER! *] :/
not only that, last week 172 miners in China
and they say China will take over the world in 2039-2040.....thankfully and hopefully by then I'll be longgggggggggggggg gone....*lol*
And India and China can organize their own
And the big salaries of AHDT board members will go bye-bye!
I didn't have the same abuse, but have a lot
of the same feelings. I was sexually abused at 8 months - though didn't learn this until I was almost an adult. I was reading my chart at the doctor's office, because he was always an hour behind and I found it it there. I had been abused when I was 5 and 6 and I remembered that but has suppressed it for the most part. I started therapy and was seeing a therapist, but had to see a psychologist once so they could sign off on reports for insurance to pay. The psychologist said I was making it all up, that it didn't really happen and that I was just attention seeking.
I tried therapy again and I was getting to the point of finding out who abused me when I was so young - I knew who it was at 5 and 6, but not before, and I felt it was my father and I just couldn't deal with it, was having severe panic attacks so I quit therapy. I'm overweight, have poor self-esteem, I'm very judgmental, distrustful, and just overwhelmed. I don't use my trauma as an excuse, but I'm not happy and I want to be happy and I think when that happens most of the other issues will resolve. I don't drink or do drugs though, but I guess food is my escape.
spouse abuse
Yes, I have talked to the police, but he was married before and living in NC and I believe he may have a record there. He is a real slick one. He put scratches all over himself to try and make it look like I hit him. I have never had anyone do this before and he is a sick individual. I am sure he has had prior incidences.
We were only married for 6 months. I refuse to let anyone hit me, no matter how much I love them.
Thanks for your concern.
Spouse abuse
I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there is a way to find out if someone has a previous record of spousal abuse.
My husband hit me and I cant afford a lawyer but make too much money for Legal Aid. I want to do this on my own. I just need to know if there is a way to find out this information from a different state. Are these files open to the public? Or does a lawyer have to request these things?
Thanks so much for your help!.
My ULD was suspended for abuse too.....
I was so surprised but at least I know I am not the only Transcriptionist in the US to have this happen to. Lisa, I e-mailed you.
What, do you think?? I abuse my dogs, LOL
Like the post below, my dogs know when the collar is on/off, turned on/off. They are very smart. And, I do know the difference between just barking or something approaching. My dogs are very much loved and very well taken care of. I don't think you know the correct use of a shock collar at all.
Who said you abuse your dogs? Why be

abuse comes in many forms
This truly is abuse. You may not have visable body scars but mental abuse is just as bad if not worse as physical abuse. I'm not sure there is help for your husband but you need to get out of this relationship for your own sanity. A tiger never changes his stripes. I had been in relationship that had the same elements. I worked all day and would teach a class at night and we were to dress in a professional manner and I would be accused of having an affair. (Huh, like you have the time and energy.) I had the courage to get out and have now married a man who respects me and treats me as an equal partner. Is that not what a true marriage is, a partnership. If you do not have family to help check with you local Women's Help Center possible that could be a start. I wish you the best and hope you have the strength to more forward and leave him in the dust.
Sexual Abuse
You don't even want to go there. It is not in your scope of practice as a Transcriptionist sitting in a room somewhere to determine sexual abuse.
For you to go over a physician's head and report it because "you" suspect it is a good way to get yourself at least fired, in essence you are saying the physician did not practice according to the law.
Not about child abuse, but...
...a pretty funny story. A friend was working with her horse when he tossed his head, smacked her in the face and broke her nose. By the time her hubby got her to the ER she had a huge shiner, a huge nose and was swollen and black & blue on one side of her face, plus had wrenched her shoulder.
Various hospital personnel began asking her how it had happened. About every 10 minutes somebody else came in to put her through the whole horse story again, and this went on for a couple of hours. Then a cop showed up and asked her the same stuff and also spoke with her husband, and then it dawned on her that this whole time they had been trying to shake her story. They thought her HUSBAND had belted her!
And about a week later she got a visit from a social worker just to make sure she was 'okay.' Far from being upset about this (although it was annoying to have people bothering her constantly in the ER) they both thought this was pretty hilarious. And they figured that their tax dollars were not being wasted and their county agencies were doing what they should be doing.
Sexual abuse
As a survivor of sexual abuse, I can tell you that I wish someone had made a report. This was back in the 70's when it wasn't widespread knowledge, wasn't talked about. I honestly think that my mother was relieved he wasn't bothering her. Everytime I was taken to the doctor as a teenager (which wasn't very often) my mother would go in the room with me. The doctor sometimes would tell her she could wait in the lobby, and there was always a nurse in the room. I never got to ask questions that were burning in my teenage brain, I never got any help. I think my mother was afraid I would say something. This was after she found out about it and acted like it wasn't happening. He started when I was 13 and stopped when I was 18 when I threatened to cut his you know whats off.
I know in the performance of our jobs that we can't say anything about the things we learn. But hopefully the doctor stood up for this young person and did the right thing. I wish mine would have.
I don't believe in child abuse
or drug abuse, but I don't refuse to type reports involving child abuse victims and drug overdoses.
This seems a little out there to me. Don't get the logic.
Walmart opened up 15 stores in CHINA....nm

India and China will undoubtedly be creating
Just as the blue collar workers in manufacturing can be replaced, in this global setting, so can the entire corporations - I give them 10 years before the enterprising businessmen in China, India (whereever US CEOs have fled to gain access to slave labor) steal the info and create their own companies and compete as they certainly would be happy with a fraction of the American CEOs income.
Child abuse reports
I too have typed the child abuse reports and I go through an array of feelings. I just cannot believe what some people can do to other human beings -- much less an innocent child. I know that after I type those reports, those kids will be forever damaged at the hands of someone they love and trusted. Sad stuff.
These same people abuse ambulances too!
I typed a note on some woman who called the ambulance because she stubbed her toe! Geez, hope nobody in her town was having a heart attack at that time...
I would do it just to save my hands from further abuse! nm

Reporting sexual abuse?
If we are transcribing a report that we believe to be a sexual abuse case, are we required to report it if the physician does not? Is this a breech of confidentiality and a violation of HIPAA?
reporting sexual abuse
This is hard to talk about. Two weeks ago my daughter woke me up to tell me her friend "had" to talk to me. I was asleep, not very happy with 17-year-old drama. Long/short the girl's father had been sleeping with her "until she turned 16". At that point apparently she told him she would tell if she did not get her own bedroom....she then went on to say the reason she "had" to tell someone is that the night before she heard him through her wall now with her 14-year-old sister. There were two other little girls in that house - the mom had apparently moved 60 miles away and gave this monster custody while she found herself or whatever. When the girl started telling me the rest of the story, I was stunned. I am so visual that as she spoke my skin began to crawl - I wanted to beg her to stop with the chilling details, but I knew she needed someone to tell and I was it. I felt like a victim myself. It was the creepiest story ever. She went on to spill details that made me 100% sure she was telling the truth (like....he got really, really angry when he found out my sister had started her period) that type of thing. By the time she finished her gut-wrenching story, my own daughter looked at me and said...mom...you are just staring....Ended up calling a Sexual Assault Hotline. Next morning I was driving home and there were 7 police units in front of this creep's house. The mom came and picked up all the girls, thank God.
I think what happened to the MT who read this sexual abuse case is the same thing that happened to me -- somehow in even reading or hearing about it -- you become somewhat of a victim yourself -- a victim of just how sicko the * of the world can get. Thanks for letting me vent. The friend of my daughter stays in touch and says she is much happier. I am going to watch in the courts and make sure that this sicko does not get off lightly -- let em just try that...not on MY watch.
just wait - in 2039 or 2040 CHINA will rule...nm
I had heard China holds our notes, and this article verifies that. Also, are you
Back decades ago the US had a gentleman's agreement for the oil from Saudi in exchange for us to be their police protection. Now suddenly the prince of Saudi has been courting Asia to sell it's oil to. Well, Asia will be a good customer.......for the short haul but China does not have the infrastructure to use as much oil as the US does.
An investor I know keeps telling me there is an expected depression this year or early next (2007). I keep seeing things that make me think its so. I know WalMart is doing odd things with its merchandise. And they are working their employees like slaves! having cashiers do toilets, and working the floors way understaffed.
Other companies are seeing the same thing. The companies are trying not to reduce their expected profits, so they are taking it off the backs of employees through taking the pensions, whittling off health insurance, less and less holiday leave, making people do the job of 2 or 3 others.
Our economy is built on hot air.
There were more bankrupcys this month than every before. Also credit cards are getting slower and slower payments in.
People all around me are losing their jobs with the speed of light, I don't care what you READ in the newspaper. They can print whatever they want to, but the reality is in talking to your neighbors and putting your ear to the ground. Salaries are going south, people are sitting here like us with no raises for years.
What makes me sick is our govt officials keep feeding vitamins and jobs to countries that HATE us - China and India. Why in the world! I know they are under the idea that *democracy* spreads peace in the world, but the *democracy* the United States is spreading right now doesn't look right to me. We are losing our rights, our homes to eminent domain, being overrun with illegals and yet the illegals are getting the health care (I typed on someone last night who was not working in this country, not even a legal immigrant, and they were doing scads of tests on this person! and yet I sit here having paid taxes for 45 years and can't afford to own a home or go to the dentist. My car is 20 years old. Where is my country when I need them?)
It's CHINA for Pete's sake, where they still kill girl babies. Do you think
they have some sort of dog euthanasia patrol of paid government employees? Puhleeeze yourself.
I hate the ones where child abuse is suspected or
the injury could have been avoided entirely if the parents hadn't been so stupid, like a young child without a carseat in an MVA. I used to hate the death summaries at my old job, especially on young people.
Does China now own a large portion of U.S. Treasury bonds? You sound "in the know."

Agree, we are only seeing the beginning of losing so many jobs overseas to India, China, etc., etc.,
This is a sad reality. However, our country has let this go on for years now.
I did child abuse reports for 2+ years then quit.
I did a report on one kid, just learning to walk, who had the little feet stomped on by mom's significant other. That was the beginning of the end for me with that job. Of course mom kept significant other and lost the kid.
I had to get up and walk away and go back to it.
I honestly do not know HOW you got through your report.
I don't watch fear factor. They abuse animals. I also have better
stuff to do with my time then watch someone eat pig intestines.
cover with thiamine and (s/l) serafellon for alcohol abuse
Got no help on word board. Running out of time.
Thanks in advance
Child sexual abuse cases - used to do them sometimes where I used to work - sm
now do a lot of Trauma ER, it used to bother me a lot, but not anymore unless its kids. Guess I am getting used to all the gunshot and knife wounds in the city nearby, that is sad in itself.
Their control obviously isn't putting fear in those that abuse the information though. nm
nm
UNBELIEVABLE!!! I am speechless. I literally have no words! A $5000 trip to China to teach
them how to steal our jobs?
Must have been hard to do that....in the past I have done a lot of child sexual abuse reports - sm
and they were no picnic. After my mom died, it also seemed I got a lot of congestive heart failure patients (what she had), and now since Jen's diagnosis of Wilms, I did 2 letters last weekend on two other kids with Wilms at the same clinic we attend.....what freaked me out was the Stage II child had a 3 place recurrence at the completion of his chemo, while a Stage IV child was just fine.....Jen is Stage I....and then at her ultrasound this week the doc was extremely thorough (more thorough than the last one, same doc too) and it made me a bit uneasy as he did stuff this time that he did not do last time. But he said all was well, said they get faked out a lot by shadows where the removed kidney used to be that looks like recurrence so they have to be extra careful and rule out that possibility. But the child abuse ones, when I used to get them, were definitely depressing, can only do so much of them.
Sweety, this is abuse. Get thee to a counselor, the dude is sucking you dry.
The twit I just divorced got to the point that if HIS annoying me didn't work, he'd pick a fight, put the kid in the middle and then laugh as I tried to save the kid from that kind of abuse.
Ditch the B---d. And get into counseling.
