"Tired Mama"
Dear Tired,
You didn't specify the age of the child and this makes a big difference in what they can have (toddler, adolescent or teen). One of the safest remedies, even for a toddler would be a teaspoon of Cola Syrup (you can buy it at any pharmacy and even Wal-Mart for about $2.00 a bottle). Another thing to consider, it could be food poisoning. Even if the entire family ate the same meal, there could be an amount of bacteria in the food that will sometimes, only affect one person. All the remedies given on this post are excellent suggestions.
If the symptoms don't improve the next day, take him to the ER or schedule an appointment with your family doctor.
I had this happen to me while pregnant with my daughter (thinking it was only sickness from the pregnancy) and when I went to the ER it was food poisoning.
Hope this helps...
feeling like this mama?
This should end all "3 Bears Stories"
Baby Bear goes downstairs and sits in his small chair at the table, he looks into his small bowl. It is empty. "Who's been eating my porridge?!!" he squeaks.
Papa Bear arrives at the big table and sits in his big chair. He looks into his big bowl, and it is also empty. "Who's been eating my Porridge?!!" he roars.
Momma Bear puts her head through the serving hatch from the kitchen and yells, "How many times do we have to go through this with you idiots? It was Momma Bear who got up first, it was Momma Bear who woke everyone in the house, it was Momma Bear who made the coffee, it was Momma Bear who unloaded the dishwasher from last night, and put everything away, it was Momma Bear who went out in the cold early morning air to fetch the newspaper, it was Momma Bear who set the table, it was Momma Bear who put the friggin cat out, cleaned the litter box, and filled the cat's water and food dish, and, now that you've decided to drag your sorry bear-butts downstairs,
and grace Momma Bear's kitchen with your grumpy presence, listen good, cause I'm only going to say this one more time.
"I HAVEN'T MADE THE PORRIDGE YET !!
mama bear
it reminds me of the simpsons. Homer makes a good papa bear..
Listen, bro...Mama told you to take...
your medication. 
Shush? You arent that person's mama.

Wow someone who thinks outside the box
call the media!
Too many are too willing to give up the tiny bit of privacy remaining...
The doc who thinks
every new sentence is a new paragraph and/or the one who says 'period, new line' after every sentence. Is this a really pervasive dictating annoyance? Or is it just me?
As one who does QA and thinks
the quality of US MTs is POOR, POOR, how do you find the offshoring MTs work to be? I mean this seriously.
I read on and India site that it only took weeks to be a MT.
Sometimes when I am working I think there is no way an Indian MT can do this.
So, how do they measure up? What is our competition really like?
Am I the only one who thinks this odd?
Job post stating they are looking for really good QAs and would be willing to hire newbies for this position............ 
Frankly, I don't think I would care for a newbie, who basically is still learning themselves, to be put in charge of QA of my work, especially if THEY have it all wrong, due to lack of experience, and that counts against me!
I don't believe in "the one"
Some people are more complacent than others and can have a successful relationship with just about anyone.
Others are harder to please or pickier, and there are people that those folks who fall into this category can have a successful relationship with, and others with whom they cannot.
The key is to find out which TYPE of person is best matched to your personality, your goals, your life-style and find someone like that.
There is no ONE person for each of us, but some personality types that mesh better than others.
"The right way"
I've been in that situation myself. What I have done is, if the dictation is absolutely absurd and I was expected to transcribe it as such, then at the bottom of the report, in very small font, I typed in : transcribed verbatim.
No. Someone who thinks they are "cute" is having fun
trying to derail the thread and irritate others.
COokies are done! Pouring the milk!!
Goodnight, the real Laurie and the real Michelle! I've had fun!!!
Curdled milk and burnt cookies to the silly ones trying to upset everyone! LOL
Mig was too pretty for them. Am I the only one who thinks (sm)
that Marty looks like a drug addict? 
Anyway, I think they made a good choice.
Me thinks you have burned one too many..
I'm also in agreement with the movement to legalize marijuana, but come on--do you think this group shares your views? Save your passion for the petitions.
she thinks it is "cute"
Ever know one of those women who thinks it is cute to curse? I feel like she probably has not always been this way. She seems to try to use them for dramatic effect. She only knows 5 of them but every time she says a curse word she says it louder than the rest of her sentence. It is about as cute as Grandma cursing. Ugly, ugly, ugly. Thanks for the advice.
Just wondering what everyone thinks about this...
I work in the office. We are being taken over by a larger hospital. The larger facility is putting their people in the management positions, which is fine. At our smaller hospital, we have not had the opportunity to work from home, but with the merger, the plan is to send us all home to work by the end of the year and I think that is fabulous! What concerns me is this, they watch their at-home people like hawks. They actually print out a daily report on each Transcriptionist (40+) that lists every single job they did that day and how long they spent in each report typing. So, say you have a 5 minute H&P and you took 30 minutes to type it, they basically call you up and want to know why it took you so long to type this report. Their reasoning is they pay us hourly and they don't want to pay us for sitting at home watching television. I completely understand that, but I am a very productive MT and really don't like the idea of having to account for every minute of my day if I am producing at least the minimum. Having said that, they also offer a very nice incentive plan where we get a per line rate for anything above the minimum. So why the need to micromanage like they do?
In my opinion, if your people are producing at least the minimum and if you have a very competitive incentive plan in place, then why not just check productivity on everyone at the end of each pay period and counsel anyone not producing at least the minimum and if necessary, take disciplinary action and just leave it at that? Why check every single report to make sure we aren't taking too long on one report and risk upsetting your productive MTs who maybe got distracted by a phone call or something on that one report, but still produced what they were supposed to produce when the day was done?
I've been looking around at other jobs just to see what is out there and have lined up some very promising prosects, but none that offer an incentive plan comparable to the one at my current job. I just wonder is the incentive money worth the added stress of having someone virtually looking over my shoulder all day long? They are definitely sending the message that we are going to be asked to justify every bathroom break, every sinle distraction throughout our day, no matter if we get the job done or we don't.
Just wondered what insight other MTs might have on this issue.
Just wondering what everyone thinks
Like you said, you are a "very productive MT." I wouldn't worry about it. The ones who should worry are the ones who screw off. This will be a new venture for the hospital and they will watch very carefully for a while to see how it goes. As long as you are meeting the requirements I wouldn't be concerned. Give it a try and see what happens.
Thanks, misha! My DH thinks that
it would help clear up DS's skin if he sat in the sun some every day, or even used a tanning bed as someone below said, although I'd be worried for him to do that because he has light skin, light blue eyes and blond hair - it was so light it was that white-blond when he was a baby/toddler. So obviously he has very fair skin and features so I worry about the risk of skin cancer.
But your link sounds like something different and I will check that out. Thanks for taking the time to research for me!
Finally someone who thinks like I do! sm
I never understood how Bucky even got in the top 12! What drove me nuts the most was was his inability to speak clearly! I really laughed when Ryan said "I have no idea what you just said" and when Kenny Rogers said he needed to enunciate or the song wasn't going to make any sense.
Bucky just really had a skeevy look to me...like I wouldn't leave a child alone with him.
Me thinks you are way off base.
You may want to find a new career. When you refer to drop in for an hour or two, you are speaking about ICs who in no way are any less professional than you are working from your home as an employee. Some MTs work from a typing pool meaning they can take a job at a time and make money in that fashion as a contribution to the household (paying bills I might add). Many professions offer at home employment. We are not the only ones. I think you have a bad attitude and should probably find somewhere else to drone in your sorrows. Many of us here are professionals even at home with a husband and children. It kind of sounds like you are jealous about husbands that make money and have insurance. You may want to re-think what you are saying in regards to MTs working from home and not being considered a professional. In my experience, my friends and relatives are envious of my being able to make a living from my home office, so I'm not sure who you have that talks about you to where you cannot defend yourself, but that is usually a psyhiatric entity called paranoia. Sorry to say, but you make as much as you'd like as long as you can "hang with the big dogs". If you are not making enough money, then that is for you to either take some courses in typing and anatomy or just go with the flow. To blame at home MTs is way off base.
"The Letter"
I got my "letter" from MQ today, and immediately called my supervisor to tell him that once that goes into effect I will no longer to ASR.......... hopefully everyone will do this (or at least the majority) and MQ will hear us ?? 
"the cone"
When my little boy (dog) was neutered, I thought for sure the vet would make us use "the cone." However, he said to just get an all white cotton t-shirt and you can slip it over the dog's head and the dog's legs fit perfectly in the arm holes. The cotton t-shirts are nice and soft and come down long enough to cover that private area!
not everyone thinks nationals are awful.
i have worked for 4. two were terrible, one was okay, one great.
the one that was okay and the one that was great made you put up a deposit on the computer stuff and if you didn't get it back to them in good shape they kept it. i think that is fair. costs a lot of money to do that.
all 4 of the companies i worked for checked references. i had to test on terms, meds, and then do a transcription test for 3 of the companies.
the 2 that were terrible - i just did not like their software (1 sent me a computer that wouldn't work so they sent another one and it wasn't very fast at all). it wasn't really anything they did. i just didn't care for how their stuff ran.
i think all of them are decent companies. beats the hospitals i've worked for. beats getting in the car for a drive everyday in pantyhose and heels and listening to coworkers gripe about what they're not getting and having to work when they want you to.
Me thinks 5th graders would think it's really dumb. nm

I have been doing this for 12 years and still to-this-day my sister thinks she can just come over
to my house any time and visit while I am working !!!!! . I know they think, Well, she is just typing, she can do that any time. Taken for granit is right and I have tried and tried to re-educate people on this but get nowhere. I just end up being the bad guy for not offering to baby sit or something. Well, you will be there, can they just say with you. I think I should have sent my 6- month -old to my sister's house one night (when he was 6 months-old) after crying all night with colic, and said well, you will be here, can he just stay with you.. You can't sleep when a six month old is a different house especially if he is sick and you can't work either!! DUH!
Just annoyed that he so smugly thinks I will be - sm
unemployed in the near future! You see, I have been happily married for 8 years and despite great effort on his part, he has not been able to cause many problems. My daughter has next to nothing to do with him because of the way he treats her. He really just wants to see us unhappy and in a bad situation.
Who thinks Mick Jagger is still hot??
she should look at apply for section 8. I thinks its through the
housing development of the city she resides.
my family thinks the same thing...
I even had a friend call me the other day (who I thought understood what it is I do all day) asking if I could get his significant other a job because he does medical billing and can type fast...LOL...I guess no one will understand the working at home aspect except those who actually work at home....
Consulting dr. doesnt say but says he thinks

Thank you AllieCat. I'm at home IC. Me thinks

me thinks we have all been working alone too long
We gotta get out more. Poor Kiki.
If you put "the patient" you won't need to worry about it. sm
In fact, most accounts want "the patient" due to confidentiality reasons.
"The Language of Medicine" sm
is a very good book and very thorough. I would recommend it highly.
Married? When did you know that your mate was "the" one for you? sm
I just got engaged and knew the minute I met him that he was the one for me. He felt it too - we just waited until we dated a while before making it official.
How about you?
Yes, it begins with a "T" but don't know what you mean by "the line" (see msg)
Yes, that is how I quit, just couldn't take the crap software for one more minute. I had heard VR was coming, and there was no way, Jose, I was planning on editing any Indians. My friends who are still there, some are editing, and are making less than half of what they made transcribing. Boy am I glad I got out of there. Now work for a company with a great platform, and they don't offshore.

You never saw "The Sound of Music"?
According to the song, Maria was a flibbertigibbet.
Could you not put like "the patient" in most places rather than he/she? nm

My family probably thinks elves clean up after them - sm
As I try to do all the picking up, etc. after everyone is in bed. Granted I can't vacuum then but most of the junk is picked up and put away, including the laundry. My husband wants to hire someone, I really don't want a stranger in my house though. Also my husband fails to understand that they will not pick up his dirty clothes, or put his stuff away where it belongs, etc., and that you actually have to straighten up a bit before someone comes in to clean for you. What he wants is a maid who will do what I won't!....maybe after we win the Mega Millions, right?
Me thinks so too. Snowman poop is for babies. :)
My hubby thinks he's another Rock Hudson - NM

No, she does not.She will be asking us "the govt" to supply her necessities
and we will do it. You and I, who carry Wal-Mart purses (speaking for myself, of course). Makes me mad too. I also noticed the Budweiser can. Jaundiced eye? I think not.
