LOL gallon

gallon a day sm
If you worked for me, I would have you flag the report, as this will follow the patient forever if not correct. Some will sign anything. I once had an ESL dictate, "The patient drinks one and one-half six can beer per day." I am not a mathematician, could be one and one-half six packs but I am not about to "label" anyone. There are "alcoholics" who inherit the disease and there are "drunks" who will drink anything and keep on doing it even when told to stop for their own health. Give people a break, you wouldn't want your family "labeled". The disease itself is punishment itself. Those who stop are just as good as you and I, they had an allergy of the body and a desire of the mind, such as one would have for chocolate, etc., so don't sit in judgement, that's God's job. If someone has stopped, give them a high five, not a label.  Just my two cents.
Tell me about it at 2.79 a gallon in gas.
I thought the same thing about age discrimination.
$2.39/gallon - Philadelphia
What does a gallon of gas cost in YOUR town?
$2.39 here. Northwestern Wisconsin. It is pathetic.
Our gas prices are just over $3/gallon and summer's coming!
I'll want to use my A/C in my car plus do a little extra driving in the summertime.
Right now it's costing me about $44 to $46 to fill my tank up. It HURTS!
Thinking about buying a bicycle to get around town on! lol
Indiana?
If this is the company in Indiana who has Louisville accounts, be forewarned. The accounts are nearly all ESL, the system they use to type isn't very good and the spellcheck is horrible. They also bounce payroll checks and there are no set paydays.
Not Indiana sm
No business license is required in Indiana.
We just signed up for our propane for winter.. It's gone up a dollar per gallon...
from last year. There is no shortage of propane as far as I know. They just raise the price because they can. We're paying 1.89 per gallon. Thank goodness we have 2 wood stoves, but I'm sure a cord of wood will double too. . You can't win.
bush bashing? Do you like paying 5 bucks a gallon for gas? NM
get a life.
PA dictates patient drinks "a gallon" of liquor a day.
I hear people drinking a pint or 1/5 a day, but a GALLON. The guy is only 45.
I live in Indiana
this is the first year that our state has had to change time officially, however for years we have been dealing with two different times "fast time" and "slow time"... My husband and I worked on fast time (we changed our clocks), my son went to school on "slow time", my county was right on the edge of the time change, If I made a right at the end of my road I was heading into "fast time", If I made a left I was heading into "slow time"... very confusing and a real PAIN... We are so happy that we are officially changing to Daylight Savings time with the rest of this country this year as a state. It will make my life so, so much easier. I believe only Indiana, Arizona and Hawaii were the only states that did not "change their clocks" and I, for one, am happy that Indiana is finally changing!
Indiana pay rates
I HAVE A NEW PROSPECTIVE CLIENT IN THE Indiana AREA, THE DOCTOR DICTATION IS 75% TEMPLATE BASED AND HE WISHES TO PAY AN HOURLY RATE. I HAVE ONLY DONE PER LINE RATE AND LIVE IN ANOTHER STATE. CAN ANYBODY TELL ME THE GOING HOURLY RATE IN INDIANA/KENTUCKY BORDER AREA? 
Indiana pay rate
Thanks for the info
Northwest Indiana MTs
I am from Northwest Indiana and have Comcast. It is always down. Does anyone else from Northwest Indiana have this problem with Comcast? Are there other companies out there to choose from? My husband swears up and down that Comcast is all we can get here. I know south of us there is Nitco, but I do not believe you can get it where I live. Any information would be helpful. I am trying to obtain a new at-home position and am worried about the Internet connection going down on me while I am working.
Holy Cow, a gallon of Jack Daniels? I had a whole juice glass once sm
and was sick for a week, can't imagine a gallon.
I am looking for in house rad work in Indiana. sm

Northern Indiana here, very humid. nm

Indiana Unemployment Question
Someone just told me that Indiana unemployment has changed, in that you now have to wait six weeks for your first check. Does anyone know if this is correct or not?
Help, Mediscribe of Indiana, NOT MedScribe of FLA, need to know....sm
I am so confused, the recruiter called me out of the blue last night, don't remember dropping a resume there, but she had my resume....anyway, offered great IC position, great pay, lots of good points, sent contract....but I THOUGHT I was speaking with MedScribe, does ANYBODY know/know of Mediscribe of Indiana? It all sounds great, but I want a GOOD company, and whenever I do a search, I keep coming up with posts about MedScribe. TIA!!!
I'm in North Central Indiana
and have used ATT/yahoo DSL. Not sure if this would work for your or not, but I've used it for years and very rarely have problems.
Bern
PS- GO ND
I'm in East Central Indiana and
have Comcast. When we first had it, it was down all the time. It turned out to be a faulty modem, which they had supplied. Once they changed that out, they have been incredibly reliable. It is very, very rare that they are down, and if they are it is usually less than an hour.
It was in Indiana. Loved the job. Even miss
it sometimes. But not meant to be, I suppose.
Man, its HOT in Indiana! Talk about global warming!
How 'bout where U live?
I'm from Northeast Indiana and have Comcast. I have few problems SM
with Comcast being down, but when I do I usually unplug everything from the modem and wait a few seconds, plug it back in and I'm good to go.
I had the same thing with a client in Indiana - did their work for 5 years
Then someone from Connecticut stole the account - underbid me, and the work just kept getting slower and slower, and I asked questions of what was going on, and no answer. Finally the girl that USED to send the work to me called me and told me they were going with Mary's service, and I should be looking for something else, and that they had no intention of telling me because they were using me for stats, etc. (I didn't charge extra for stats, and she did).
So Mary, I know who you are, and I hope RP's dictation is driving you NUTS!
There I feel better.
You are in Maine, right Hayseed? I am in Indiana, and I totally agree SM
with you. It has been bitterly cold the past week with snow most every day, including today. I am glad I dont have to go out in it.
I get frustrated over the same issues as other MTs, but I just do what you said, walk away and try to keep a good attitude.
HELP with Shorthand. Suddenly today when I tried to start work today.sm
my ShortHand would type only the first letter of an expansion and then take all the letters away! I checked and the Type It button is grayed out! I have restarted the computer and looked on the Shorthand Help menu but can find nothing that applies. Can anyone please help me ASAP? I am lost without it! TIA
Perhaps you are right. This one is dated today. The original article was on Yahoo today also with
But this article states it would only affect new customers right now. So I am upset over nothing. I went through heck with BellSouth when they charged me a surcharge of an extra 50 a month and then would write a letter saying I had to switch to a long distance service and pay by the minute because of my "excessive" use. They told me the unlimited charge was for an average of an hour a day not somebody who worked out of their home and I needed to switch a business plan at over 200 a month charge. I switched over to cable because of that and then to read that cable was going to charging on a per use fee and not a flat monthly fee it upset me. It is the nature of our work, VR, only paying for VBC, having headers and footers taken away, now being charged for being on line, etc. It just seems that everything is done to keep to insure less money.
Blasted cold out today. It was 104 degrees last week, but it's 40 degrees today with rain.
However, I do like cozy days like today when I don't have to go anywhere. I'm done working, the house is clean, there's chili on the stove for dinner already, and I'm just putzing around. I think I'll go bake some jalapeno cheese bread to go with the chili.
I am going to see it today!!
nm
Usually twice a day for about 10-15 min BUT today I seem
to have been here more. I'm getting behind though and going to cut outta here until I'm done for the day! LOL
Just a lot of information to pass along to some who really seem to want to know.
WE HAD 73 TODAY!
I don't think I'd make it down south. We had high 90s with humidity for 16 days straight and that was bad enough. Glad it is cool again. 
Don't buy gas today
e-mail because of the high prices and this a national boycott. Wondering if anyone else received or heard this.
doing well today
Just did 1343 lines in 170 minutes but that includes printing, 24 envelopes, looking up names, getting on here three times, doing 3 E-mails to my subcontractor -- at 0.11 per gross line. So I am happy today.
I got another job! For example today
the cherrypicker on the account is not working for some reason so I'm expected to stop working my other job to cover her butt, but that doesn't happen anymore! MDI plays a lot of games, IMO. I am only staying until I know for sure my other job doesn't turn out like them.
Being out of work on my account happens daily. It probably depends on what account you are on.
Experiences are different for everyone. Good luck.
Today, that would mean
Today and many other days. Personally, I think that this is really becoming ridiculous. I'm a car buff and I'm sure that there are many other MTs who are as well, but, I'm sure that people who don't give a darn about cars don't want to come to MTStars and have to sort through tons of posts on cars.
No difference with pets. I don't own any pets and have no desire to do so. If I want to read about pets and whose leg or thigh they are humping and why...I'd go to a pet board somewhere on the internet.
Please, give us a break.
I had this one today...
DOCTOR: "Please send a CC to her primary care physician. I do not know who that is, but send him or her a copy anyway."
No other reports exist for this patient.
Yes, in my spare time I'm a psychic! 
Today was my first day
and I only lost about 250 lines from norm. Real easy to get the hang of, though. (with my notes, anyway :) Good luck!
Today is 6/6/6.
 The devil made me do it!
I had one today too
The doctor said he weights 325 pounds which is (and then he kind of hesitated and then said "too much." (he'll usually say which is up or down so many pounds.) At least some of the doctors say something different than the norm.
Had a doc today that...
had a perfectly understandable conversation with one of the nurses after he had logged on to dictate. I was stunned. I didn't think he could ever possibly speak at a reasonable pace. Of course when he was done with the nurse he had wasted so much precious time he had to dictate his note even faster than usual.
Something hit me today . . .
Recently I had to do a lot of paperwork to enroll my youngest in kindergarten for the 2007-2008 school year. They ask all sorts of questions about family history and specifically who has diabetes, heart disease, blindness, etc. Does this not violate the HIPAA laws? Do I have permission to disclose my grandmother’s health problems to the school? Or my mother’s and father’s? I never really thought about it when I enrolled my older child because I wasn’t a MT at the time and I never really had knowledge about HIPAA in those days. What do you all think about this?
Not my day today -- that is for sure!
 Living paycheck to paycheck these days with the cost of living being so hight and DH being on disability. Today I get my check in the mail – national company—and it does not have a signature on it! I called the office – of course the payroll department had left for the day – it was only 3 something in the afternoon. I was told to physically mail the check back to be signed and they would return it right away. Why not just cut me a new check and mail overnight? Really sick of this place lately. Never did get any resolution of the 60 odd lines I was cheated out of before only weeks ago. Lost a few days work over the last week because the system crashed. *Sigh* I just started a new job on the side. Hope this one has a better track record.
had one today . . .
it was a discharge summary - he said "the patient was admitted for some reason, I really don't know why". The patient was in for renal failure for Pete's sake.
Exactly! Today is my day off and I'm doing...
the laundry and housework, like I would if I were at an office all week. My work days are for working my 8 hours and then picking kids up from school to be with them. I wish half my family would also understand, not that they bother me during the day, but just at gatherings and such...I don't talk about my work. I really believe it's jealousy, and they wished they would have thought of that years ago. But I do agree, it's hard work to still do it at home, just minus the driving and office crap!
Went in today and they...
do want me to start out PT and then after a time, a month or so, would bring me on board full time, if all goes well. This will be at $15.00/hr. I'm excited--this is not what a lot of you make, I'm sure, but it's more (consistently) per hour than I've ever made before. Keeping my fingers crossed it will work out!
Thanks for the replies!
I'm on rad today, and I did get a bad
dictator. On top of that, on several reports he said oh on the one I just did on so and so, order number so and so go back and put such and such at so and so and then remove line so and so and change to such and such. This is not easy to do on Dictaphone EXText. (Not on voice recognition) ARG! I wanna choke him today! Lots of burps and yawns and sniff, snort, cough, hack, wheeze. He has a cold so it's been a real joy to do his dictation today. NOT!!!! 
Thank you. Need to do that today. nm
