I read the article and shook my head. sm
I have to agree with you....most of that article was out of our scope of responsibility as an efficient MT. I do not have a MD degree. Who am I to question things like that?
Now, I do agree flagging a report for a blatent error in a report, but that article was over the top for me.
Honestly, my feeling after reading that was this MT or author needs to feel important for some reason, maybe a doctor wanna-be? Since reading that, I have come to the conclusion that magazine is worthless.
And yet, there is an unintentional comic
quality to his posts I find very funny. I don't live in a big town and so cannot get this kind of entertainment from Pakistani cab drivers. I have to go to the Stop 'n Rob on the corner to hear this kind of English. Please don't make him go away, he's too much fun to read.
Dilbert comic strip
I saw this comic in our local paper today. It's also online here
http://www.unitedmedia.com/comics/dilbert/
Not sure if this link will work tomorrow to get you to this same comic strip. It's about this guy's job being outsourced to India.
Anyone see the comic strip Momma today?
It was regarding outsourcing -- guess it is bothering more people than just us MTs.
Ooops, sorry. My last post said "head head." I meant "her head." Sorry.
Dictaphone strips?
How about the Dictaphone belts. They were strips of..whatever?? that we put into the Dictaphone machine to transcribe. We first would put them into the doctor's machine for his dictation (at the clinic I worked at). Then when he was done either he or the nurse would bring the magnetic? strip and clinic papers to me and I would transcribe on my IBM Selectric typewriter..LOLOLOL..Thanks for the memories, fellow transcriptionists!
Mine strips FOR me!
LOL...
Actually, my spouse is a web designer.

I use Veet wax strips (sm)
I used the tub of wax and strip method for a long time and that works good, but I recently started using Veet strips and they're awesome. You just rub them between your hands to warm up the wax.
sticky strips
We went through this at the hospital I worked for a couple of years ago and I can't quite remember why it turned out to be okay to register patients like this, but supposedly it was okay. My doctor's office has you write your name on a sticky strip which they immediately take off so it does not stay on the record there, but they still do call your name, so you can't travel incognito if you wanted to. It does seem like a violation of some sort. My drug store won't even tell my husband my Rx is ready for pick up, even though I've told them it's okay.
sticky strips, RXs
Thanks for reminding me what they're called! As for the RX thing, my pharmacy is the same way. You know it's just a huge CYA thing, and creates many inconveniences for "us," but they don't want to fool with a lawsuit.
Anyway, from what I've read here, either some places are okay, and others are in violation. Fortunately it hasn't affected my life. It's been interesting to read the different posts, though.
I think you qualify - as long as you can remember using white out. Those little strips of chalky
 paper better yet.
Find Percu-Stay adhesive dressings/strips, but no sutures. nm

saw a great show the other night where they separated with fabric strips that had been tie-died
using golf balls. I think this would look great and also be pretty see through so that your son felt like he had his own space but you would still be able to see what he was doing. With a three-year old, I guess you would use a permanent mount curtain rod so that he couldn't keep pulling it down. Good luck!
Honey Bee Wax, microwavable formula, sold at Sally's Beauty Supply for $9.99 (plus the strips for

I think I would look for another job. Doesnt seem right

No doesnt sound harsh
I agree with you to an extent about threatening with that, and I have informed family members that could be done if he does not get help and endangers them in some way. They of course say they know, I think they are trying to handle it without hurting the kids any further. He has not physically hurt them just scared them which is bad enough! Thanks
High IQ doesnt = good MT.

Link doesnt say if this can be done at home.

Above poster doesnt know how to use antibark
My dogs quickly learned when they had collar on and what that meant. They didn't bark. Take collar off when you want them to alert you. Believe me, they know the difference between collar on and collar off. Mine even knew the difference between dead battery and charged battery. When they would bark with collar on, I knew it was tiime for recharge.
Then hope your boss here doesnt end up

9pin doesnt work for me
There are issues with it stopping and starting. The USB works best in V8. I work in V8 and V6 still so I have both pedals :(
I still use 2. It looks better and doesnt get confused with abbr. periods.
I wouldnt change to 1 unless the AAMT Book of Style rules on it and I dont believe they have. I could be wrong on that. If anyone knows, please let me know.
Another thing I have noticed people doing is not putting a comma before the and in a list. I was always taught to use the comma but some people dont.
advil doesnt touch mine
I used to get this all the time it drove me crazy. It felt like a constant burning band. I was hold my arms up by my neck and shoulder. Is there anyway you can find something to support your arms while you type? I bought a chair with arms, and i put a 2 x 4 board across the arms and rest my elbows on that and let my fingers do the work, not my neck. I also have a split keyboard. When the pain was severe, like yours, I would get up and put a warm wash cloth and sort of massage it into my neck every couple of hours while stretching, and then apply some icy hot so it really penetrated into it. As a poster stated, xanax works and anything that relaxes the muscles, Soma, or Flexeril, ativan, buspar (antianxiety), on top of the massage, heat n stretches. I also cut out the coffee and sugar because i'm an anxious person and I clench constantly. That should get you through until you find away to rest the arms while working. I know with this job, one part of our body will suffer, either arms, wrists or hand joints, even neck and shoulder. I wish they'd invent something to take the strain off of every muscle for us gals who have to sit here day after day! Anyways, I feel your pain, hang in there.
Is there any spyware you can use that doesnt interfere with all your other programs at all. I have
XP and service pack 2 etc etc just about all the programs you can have and Norton so dont know if they have Spyware in them or not. I have office also.
I wouldnt go get him. Just treat him tonight even if he doesnt have it
That may keep him from getting it. Head lice is a nuisance but not hard to get rid of. I wouldnt sweat it. You should change their sheets, etc...
I disagree...just because you are in a certain profession doesnt mean you cant have time off..sm
My mom has been an RN for over 40 years now and I have several family members in some of the other professions you mentioned above. A certain profession does not mean you have to work certain days/holidays. If you have vacation time you are entitled to use it whenever you wish. I used to work in a physicians office for 10 years and I always put my vacation time in for my two weeks in December in January. Other employees put their time in for summer. So while they are out having fun with their time off in July I am not crying and moaning because they are having fun in the sun while I work to cover them. It is the same thing no matter when your time off is scheduled. It has nothing to do with what field you work in. If you want time off at Christmas be a little more organized and schedule your time off way in advance. And no I dont think I am the only one with a family who would like to be off for the holidays. I just make it a priority to take my vacation at that time. You enjoy your time when you want and I will enjoy my time when I want.
What would be fair line rate if co. doesnt pay
Does it really make a ton of difference in your pay?

that doesnt sound right. I have downloaded mine I know 5 times
Maybe you should talk to a different person.
You should be able to download the player again with your password. I have had mine for 5 years and never had any problem reinstalling it. I know I have installed mine 5 times.
I think they will see these newbies run faster and harder than we ever did if something doesnt suit.

Do you honestly think MQ doesnt send work to India, etc.

I guess it depends on which office you get switched to now doesnt it.

Why dont you stick your $1.18 where the sun doesnt shine lady.

I think it is a 65 character line without spaces but doesnt that mean you have to type a lot more to
get your lines in so you really arent making 9.5 cpl in fact right. I am not sure I understand when you dont get paid for spaces how much you really lose from that. Is it 20% a report or what percentage do you lose. If a report is 100 lines with spaces then what do you really get paid for on those 100 lines without spaces. I think that is what I mean. I am just tring to figure out how much longer you have to work to get your lines in at 1000 lines a day without spaces versus 1000 lines a day with spaces. Seems it would take quite a bit longer.
I dont agree with any of the things you are saying here but I moved on so it doesnt matter.
a different room doesnt matter to a dirty old man "Been there done that" they dont care where
They still try. As long as they think they are "alone". Privacy is not a good thing in dealing with a pervert. Even if there are people in another room. You could scream but it would still be a situation I dont think she wants to be in.
You know, I dont think people care anymore what MQ offers or doesnt offer, I think everyone is just
sick of all the confusion, dishonesty, sneakiness, etc. You never know what is around the corner so after this there will be something else no doubt. I think I and most other MQ MTs just want a company that they can respect and trust. MQ can offer this package and turn right around and change that. Leopards dont change their spots. It seems like they are intent on running this company into the ground and they are doing a good job of it. I dont see how they ever will stand up against the money they owe all of these hospitals. You still have to wonder what prompted them to send checks out to the DQS MTs for mistakes in calculation of lines. Give me a break. Maybe they are trying to settle lawsuits to get out of the MT business and focus on just technology. They sure dont know what they are doing with the MT side for sure. I think they felt they had everyone up against a brick wall but as accounts leave so will MTs or MTs will just move on to another business as the wages get lower and lower so then all the work can go to India. Older MTs will cut back or retire and younger ones will leave for something else when they see what they have to battle with the work left over from ASR or VR for the small amount of money not to mention EMRs coming quickly.
Other than the reduction in ASR starting Oct 1 the rest of the deal doesnt start until January 1 so
we all have time to move on if it does not suit us.
We actually takes turns going downstairs to "play" usually. My husband doesnt like gambling as
watch a movie or something. I normally wait until they go to bed before I go downstairs as I'm a night owl and hubby is not. During the day, I take our son swimming etc..and let dad have fun. We just alternate basically and also some of the hotels offer babysitters for a fee and I believe MGM Grand has a kid's program or at least they did. Some day we hope to be able to get a nanny that can travel with us. We have gone on a few cruises also with our son and he loves that so that is how we normally spend our vacations with him. We go Carnival as they have an excellent kid's program. We're travelers and now our son is..getting hard though because when he asks about vacations he says, "are we going to Hawaii, Bahamas, or Carribean." I can remember growing up having NO vacations. vacation was just getting out of school for the summer. Probably setting the bar too high.. LOL .Yeah, it also occured to us that we'd be like 60 or so before he is out of school and since we've been raising kids forever..we decided we wanted to take vacations with them and before we're too old to enjoy it..None of that wanting until retirement to travel for us.. We know people who put off "living" until they retire and then they cant take heat, walking long distances, or just having fun!! Our motto..Have kids.. will travel..LOL
