New mow floor wax?
This doesn't sound like medical words....any ideas?
Floor damage
I know a lady who sold flooring for years. She advised me never to use rugs with rubber backing on vinyl (sp?) floors for just this reason. We never went into how to repair the damage if it happened, though. You might try calling someplace that sells and installs floors.
med-surg floor
Medical-Surgical floor. The hospitals I worked when I was working in a laboratory would have it as Medical-Surgical Unit/floor.
Picking my jaw up off the floor
I thought Chris would win it all! :(
Oh man! I'm rolling on the floor here! Tooooooooo
funny!!!! Isn't that the truth though about the name spelling? I have one that says, "Last name is Doe. Now let me spell that for you, D-O-E," but if the last name is Tatarczuk, you should be able to figure that one out on your own.
I have one that actually takes time out once in a while to spell a medication and he screws it up every single time. He's very condescending and his attitude is like, "Here little uneducated typist, this is how you spell doxicyclene."
I should keep a log of is misspellings just for giggles, but who has time?
Thanks everyone, now that I look more at the floor, its a vinyl I guess -sm
so linoleum was probably the wrong way to describe it. Just hoping I can clean it so in the future whenever we sell (in a few years) we won't have to put in a new floor....will use tile next time though so I don't have this same problem. Another alternative is to cover the whole floor with the rugs and make it one uniform stain (then no one would know!).
As soon as I pick my head up off the floor,
I will tell you that I agree about momentary help, but not lifelong help due to dumb choices. Maybe you could sign up for a free govt anger management class. As for the money spent in "stupid Iraq", just wait till you see what this country is like after Islamofascists turn it into another middle eastern country, complete with daily suicide bombers and a dictator rule. You may not live along enough to see it, but that's their goal. Count on it. Being nice won't make those nuts go away. It didn't work with Hitler and it won't work with these sickos either.
med-surg floor. It's not a proper name. NM

But the paper would be stuck to the floor. . .
because someone spilled Kool Aid and didn't bother to wipe it up.
Red Kool Aid.
My cat sits on the floor right next to my chair
staring up right at my face, sometimes for hours, and if I don't realize she's there she will meow. How annoying is that! She loves to play and fetches her toy mice and brings them back like a dog. So I think maybe she wants to play but I can't get it through to her that mommy is working and I feel bad! :) Any pet psychologists out there? Help! lol!
Falling ON the floor with that one! LOLOL!!!!

Laying down on the floor with my feet on the
s
stained bathroom floor/IDEA
I had a similar situation with my "old" tile and a rug staining it.
I sprinkled Oxiclean/hot water mixture over a small part, then sprayed it again with very warm water...waited 10 minutes, went back in and the stain was very easily wiped away. Hope it helps on yours.
I only use the good ol Oxi with 5% carpet shampoo and you've never seen carpets cleaner  ..Hope this works for you.
I operate the joystick with my foot if it is on the floor...
If I am reclined, then I can still do it with my feet by placing the controller between both feet and using either to hit the joystick. I personally do not use rewind or fast forward ( I just use the auto backspace), but you can use the other buttons on the controller as fast forward and rewind.
thats all good in theory....calling the floor sm
getting the numbers, dialing into the system, etc. etc. In a perfect world! These docs are not going to do that.
MTSOs are hired to provide a service. They do whatever they have to do to provide that service. I have also had the experience you have had working in the hospital system where turnaround was never met by the MTSOs. MTSOs were hired because turnaround was never met by the hospital either.
Do you ever wonder that these problems with turnaround both on the hospital side and the MTSO side is one reason that outsourcing got started???? Please don't flame me for that statement but I guess if the MTSOs are not going to be able to keep up with turnaround then they have to do whatever they need to do to stay in business. I don't agree with it and I wish it were outlawed, but its just food for thought.
Calling in on the weekend and listening to a dictation may work in a smaller hospital, but I don't think its a very good solution for a huge major medical center, at least not for very long.
From what I see on this board it's ok to bash those of us who ARE flexible and make it work. But it is not "politically correct" for us to say anything about the folks who want to work for MTSOs and not facilities, but don't want to be very flexible in their working hours. Just an observation.
A little 3in1 oil or WD40 might help, too. But protect the floor/carpet underneath until the oil has

Got floor model of chair that was perfect fit. Final mark down was $40. Went got home saw original
:P
They are using US and laughing at us. NM

Laughing!
For someone who has been on "both sides of the game" you sure do not have your facts straight. You do not have to be a member of AAMT to take the CMT exam!!
not laughing
but cutting it off with a knife takes all the fun out of it.
eating vertically is, I guess, round and round, as opposed to side to side. Didn't know how to describe it. I eat both ways, actually, I don't want to miss a thing!
got me laughing too!! Thanks. nm
t
still laughing
giggles are good and docs come up with some fine ones. just had this on H&P.
GU, RECTAL, and BREAST exam are deformed!!!!!! lololololol
Not laughing at all.
I have read several articles where people talked about doing that. I hadn't even thought of that and my tailbone is as sore as the rest of yours are.
Thanks for the reminder! I think I even have one of those babies stashed somewhere. Time to take a break and find it.
I'm still laughing...that is great...
Now I've got all these images in my head about Internest Street in Transcription City. This is really, really funny. My dog is looking at me wondering why I'm laughing to myself. Oh well!! Probably will be thinking about this all day...will develop a whole town, with many streets and avenues.
What other names can others come up with. Lets build this city. OK everyone, send in your suggestions!! 
I am not laughing at the technology.
At this point, at least to my understanding, the health insurance industry and Joint Commission require detailed documentation,especially the insurance companies who love to quibble on what they'll pay. When the detailed documentation is no longer being required and standard text and check off systems are used, the docs have no way to cover their butts. Let a few of them be sued for malpractice because they have no detailed proof of exact treatment, and we'll see just how wonderful this mobile system works. The insurance companies will be in an uproar over the judgements they are paying out.
I didn't see anybody laughing.
Everyone thinks Frankie boy has major mental problems.
lol! well, laughing through my tears, actually.

Laughing Out Loud. nm

If you can stop laughing for a sec...
Where are these "places where typing pays decent$$$" and "there are tons and tons of men," please? I've been in the working world for over 40 years and no matter what the job, men are going to be paid more, even if they are just standing the "Slow" sign on road construction. The only exceptions I know of are jobs where equity is demanded by law - such as state government and big corporations that are affected by the federal wage and labor laws.
Part of the reason are men paid more is because they think they deserve it and will not accept the same kind of treatment most women will take for the sake of a job. Also, men are more likely to be put into management and supervisor positions, despite their education and experience. It happens in nursing, customer service, any job that is predominantly female. There are probably a lot of reasons for that and I won't even go there.
LOL=laughing out loud (nm)

ROFL ASR keeps me laughing
I get lots of funnies too
Laughing at this doctor
he thinks cc, as in carbon copy, stands for closed caption. Please closed caption Dr. So-And-So. 
Those are both priceless!!! Now I'm laughing. nm.

Laughing - you are soooo right
QA is overrated and yes they do need to get themselves.... QA are MTs that think they know more than a regular MT... in a nutshell....
I think this must be a joke, and I am not laughing.
Why are you both obsessed with laughing??? sm
Jasper is laughing... You're laughing... Acusis is laughing... Glad to see you're all so easily amused.
My personal experience with the MTSO in question is that they have been above-board and forthcoming with info in past *crises* and I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt here. Besides, as I read Jasper's post, this pay cut was strictly for the editors... I'm not an editor.
I'm also smart enough NOT to cut off my nose to spite my face: IF my MT pay rate is cut, I'll still choose to stick around with Acusis because I have decent benefits including freebie money in my 401K, relatively pleasant accounts, and I KNOW that to start all over again with any other company out there, INCLUDING the beloved and hallowed WMX, I'd be making LESS per line and I'd be running out of work. So...
You and Jasper go right ahead and jump ship. I'll be glad to pick up your OT, and I'll bet I'm not the only one who stays behind to pick up the slack.
Best of luck to YOU, too, and thank you for leaving. *chuckle*
Laughing when you said the doctors are doing their own
editing. They cannot even spell most of the time.
OMG, I'm in tears I'm laughing so hard!
That is so funny!
Still laughing my ... off and now im gonna work

Not laughing at your bill.. that bites..but
in California gas & electric has sucked big time for decades! I average around $2000 a year...throw in some rolling blackouts too.
lol=laughing out loud, tia= thanks in advance

I believe lots of laughs/laughing and
thanks in advance.
When new, my boss started laughing
when looking over my report, apologized and said she was sorry but she couldn't help laughing. I had typed "the patient has a four-foot stump" instead of forefoot. Then another time, the doctor's first name was Gus, and I had typed Gums, thankfully they caught it right before it went on the record.
I'm not sure which I'm more disgusted with..your glee at the money or your laughing at him bei
upset. Better check the will..he just might add a clause that you lose the money if you remarry!
I defend her for being out there while you were yoda'd out on the couch laughing at her. :) nm

I can barely type I'm laughing so hard
Yes, you are going to get slammed for saying some of that stuff, but it is Hilarry-ious!!! And, oh so true. Oh, my side hurts!
I agree...verbatim is not a laughing matter
I am a grammar geek. I was an English major in college and actually once upon a time wanted to be an English teacher. I've been an MT for 22+ years now, and one of the hardest things for me to do is to type verbatim when all I want to do is correct the grammar, sentence structure, punctuation, etc., of a dictator who has neither the knowledge of proper English grammar nor the time to care.
Sometimes it's not just a matter of being grammatically correct but a matter of being accurate. For instance, if a dictator says under a review of systems, *No history of chest pain, palpitations,* and I type it that way (verbatim), it could be construed to mean that there is no history of chest pain but there IS a history of palpitations, when the dictator most probably meant no history of chest pain OR palpitations; that is, NO history of chest pain AND NO history of palpitations. Now, I realize *verbatim* transcription doesn't take a Transcriptionist off the hook for not using common sense, but if you tell people *verbatim means verbatim,* then you will more than likely get finished reports with verbiage similar to the above example. My trouble is that some days I can't find a happy medium--I either want to fix it all or leave it all and blame bad sentence structure on the dictator. Of course, I do neither, since wholesale editing is not appropriate and *verbatim* does not mean incomprehensible. One of my pet peeves is when a dictator says something on the order of *The patient was explained the risks and benefits of the procedure.* What? I think the dictator means that the risks and benefits of the procedure were explained to the patient. Do I dare edit? Of course, I make just as much money if I leave it, right? Plus, I can fall back on *verbatim,* LOL. What about when a dictator says something like this: *The patient was taken to the operating room by Dr. Smith after he was hit by a car and suffered multiple orthopedic injuries*? I actually did laugh out loud when I heard this sentence recently in an actual dictation. Poor Dr. Smith, performing surgery right after being struck by a car!
And: Today you are laughing, tomorrow you wil be crying, believe me...nm

Who's laughing? I'm just shocked that you take offense to the person who is correcting
YOUR mistakes, rather than the morons who are making these ridiculous errors, making the MT profession look silly. These mistakes should not have been made. I'm embarrassed for you my dear, not laughing at you.
Absolutely Hysterical!! We did not stop laughing. My side hurts. nm
