I type for a local mental hospital

Posted By: Trigger Happy on 2009-06-10
In Reply to: question - K

and I go in and get the tapes and bring them home.  They don't use a big company for their transcription.  I do this as a side job actually.  The pay is much better than a big MT company as well.  I enjoy typing those type of reports as well.

The local hospital uses a system like this
but it's just a matter of time until they will invest in the additional equipment so they no longer need any MTs.  I forgot about all the file clerks, etc. in medical records whose jobs have already been cut.  Lordy!!!  What on earth are we all gonna do when they "save money" by taking away ALL our jobs. 
Some educational advice. Go to your local hospital and city hall....sm
Ask them how births are recorded.  I think you will be surprised.  EVERYTHING is now computerized.  Even old birth records.
Okay, so someone comes into the hospital with
feel that it's your right not to heal the person?????  What kind of treatment is that? 
don't know about the hospital
Both of my children were born at home. And no, souls aren't "inhaled" they are the breath of G-d. What a nasty comment from you.
One part of our hospital tried VR and then
that was the emergency room, they went back to the regular dictation. The medical records, however, went to VR, excellent system and all the physicians are on there with the exception of the interns and they are only there for a month or so and they straight dictate. Ours did not start out with, as you put it, the good American doctors, everyone on and the system has learned amazingly well. I love VR and love doing it. On the other hand have just picked up several records for a variety of other physicians and the mistakes made on the EMRs are ridiculous. One place has me with hypotension, taking lisinopril and the last time I checked that was for high blood pressure. One place has me going in for abdominal pain, I think that was my upper legs were aching (how did that turn out to be the other?), no endocrine problems. I have hypothyroidism. Oh, the wrongful entering goes on.
I work on an EMR system for a hospital.
It has an interface where the physicians dictate and we transcribe. The report is then uploaded for physician review and signature. After being signed, the report is electronically filed in the patient's record. The patient records are stored electronically and are easily accessed by staff from any the hospitals within our healthcare system. At least in an acute care setting, the system has not replaced MT's but rather reduced the staffing in the in Medical Records.
Hey! In 1947, a hospital bill was
$1.25 to birth a baby. In 1969, it was $125. What is it today?
Oh, I'm sorry for your mental illness
May you find a competent doctor.
So souls are inhaled at the hospital? Interesting concept. (sm)
I don't think any of the Jewish people I know believe that but I will ask them.
A mental institution? Nope.
They're Supreme Court material!

off the subject of gyno and onto mental health -
In Georgia, my 16 year old son decided he wanted to kill himself (not really, it was a power struggle between me and him whether he could go to his girlfriend's house that day). Well, my mother went to where he was and took him to the ER. I went to the hospital and because my 16 year old son said he did not want to see me and that I did not have custody of him, they had the police escort me out of the hospital (after asking me to sign the financial forms). I did not sign anything and left the hospital.

I came back to my home, got my custody papers, went back to the hospital whereupon I found out he had been transferred to another facility. They refused to tell me where they sent him because they said they had already talked to a guardian (not true, my father happened to be in the ER visiting someone else and saw my son sitting in the examination room and was there when they transferred him).

However, I am now being sued by 2 different hospitals for around $10,000 because I am the parent that lives at the address my son put on his paperwork. My exhusband, where my son actually did live is not being sued. They told me I would have to get my half of the money back from him.

LOL You prove the ugly part of mental disease.
I can't believe this obsessive hatred you have for gays. Are you maybe closeted or something and fear coming out? Because usually the amount of vitriol you spew makes "me think you protesteth too much". Is your own sexuality so fragile that you are threatened by gays? The scientific community is pretty much convinced that gay is not a choice any more than the color of your eyes is; you can try and disguise it, but you are what you are. Free yourself, friend, and embrace your inner KD Lang.
It's kinda fun to watch you playing mental bumper cars

local supermarket
In a local supermarket, they have set up a recruiting station.  Well, when shopping and I noticed this, my outrage grew (smile).  I walked over to the place, stood in front.  They were washing the windows and I stated, **be the first one on your block to have your boy come home in a box**.  The girl washing the windows young, so maybe she knew nothing about the FISH song or Vietnam..She said..what did you say??  I repeated the lyric from the FISH song (which you can listen to on the Woodstock album).  A guy came out the door, I showed him my middle finger (sorry, it was in the heat of the moment..I dont like death, I dont like lies)..and I walked away..
it is either state and local's
responsibility and he should stay away until things calm down OR he blew it last time and he doesn't that memory to to influence the election. You can't have it both ways.
Well, now. I just read in our local

paper that our wonderful governor (who has almost bankrupted our state) thinks he may be chosen for the Secretary of Transportation or Energy. But have no fear....he promises us he will remain our governor until 2011.


Please, beg the O not to offer the job to him or he will do the same thing to the country as he did to our state. Our state is in worse shape than before he took over. He has not kept 1 promise to us except that he would get casinos in here to help with property taxes and yet, we have yet to see our taxes lowered.


Just saw this on the local news
This is so disgusting I'm speechless.
have you bothered to go to your local PD?

(Yeah, you know, ‘’flyover country.’’


 


As part of the stimulus package, President Obama rescued our recent police academy graduating class.  The City had run out of bucks and Mayor Michael (Don’t Question My Manhood*) Coleman threatening to lay these 25 recruits off – one week short of graduation.   The stimulus package provided the money to let them graduate and to let them enter their probationary period on the street.


 


The president even spoke at the graduation ceremony 03/06/2009 and said in part:


So for those who still doubt the wisdom of our recovery plan, I ask them to talk to the teachers who are still able to teach our children because we passed this plan. I ask them to talk to the nurses who are still able to care for our sick, and the firefighters and first responders who will still be able to keep our communities safe. I ask them to come to Ohio and meet the 25 men and women who will soon be protecting the streets of Columbus because we passed this plan. (Applause.) I look at these young men and women, I look into their eyes and I see their badges today and I know we did the right thing.


These jobs and the jobs of so many other police officers and teachers and firefighters all across Ohio will now be saved because of this recovery plan -- a plan that will also create jobs in every corner of this state. Last week, we announced that Ohio would receive $128 million that will put people to work renovating and rebuilding affordable housing. (Applause.) On Tuesday -- on Tuesday I announced that we'd be sending another $935 million to Ohio that will create jobs rebuilding our roads, our bridges, and our highways. (Applause.) And yesterday, Vice President Biden announced $180 million for this state that will go towards expanding mass transit and buying fuel-efficient buses -- money that will be putting people to work, getting people to work. (Applause.) 


There was much more self-congratulatory oratory, the link is: http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2009/03/obamas_remarks_at_columbus_pol.html


What’s wrong with this picture?  Well, the City is still broke.  A 25% income tax ballot proposal was defeated in the May primary.  Mayor Coleman now says that unless it is passed when it is put back on the ballot in August, 250 public safety jobs (police and fire) will be eliminated.   So much for saving the recruit class of  2009!


Why is it that the first thing a politician (and I include Republicans along with Democrats - Coleman just happens to be a Dem) does when he wants money is threaten vital services?  Coleman insists that this is not a power play.  But, of course, whenever a politician says he is not lying I have only to watch his lips.  If they are moving, I know he is full of it.  We all can think of dozens of  less-crucial departments or programs that could more easily be cut, but that would not have the emotional appeal that jeopardizing citizens’ lives by cutting police and fire services. 


Another issue on the ballot was for the parks system, a bond issue to operate existing parks as well as acquire lands and  build several new ones.   The issue passed, but should we really be spending money on new parks when THE CITY IS OUT OF MONEY??  No accident that both expenditures were on the same ballot issue.  Had we been given the choice of voting on the operating and construction funding separately, the outcome may have been different.  Had the issue been defeated, the City could have threatened to close existing parks and put the issue back on the August ballot. 


*Don’t Question My Manhood/ great moments in radio


 


In spring 2005 Columbus made national news (difficult as that is to imagine) over the story of a mentally-challenged girl who was sexually molested by several boys in a public school.  What made this a scandal, is that the school and school system, rather than report this to the police, covered it up.  When the story broke, Glenn Beck gave it lots of air time, asking why Michael Coleman, as mayor of Columbus, had done nothing about it.  Coleman (foolishly) agreed to go on the air to discuss it.  (Operating strictly by memory here, I am not sure if a transcript of the full interview can be obtained anywhere, but it really was a side-splitter.)  As I recall, Coleman said running the school board was not in his job description....


 


Beck, 41, said he wanted to talk to Coleman because he assumed the mayor would be as ''outraged as I am.'' Instead, he said, when Coleman got on the air, ''all I heard was blah, blah, blah. He was being a politician. . . . I wanted to talk to him as a dad, not as a politician.''


 


In the interview, Coleman and Beck continually talked over and past each other. The result was verbal chaos.


 


As Beck began one question by saying, ''I’m asking you as a man and a father...'' Coleman cut him off and said, ''Don’t question my manhood. Don’t you ever question my manhood.'' Coleman later said he misheard the question.

That maniac needs to go.


 


The state and local levels are the criminals here
I'm sick and tired of Bush getting all the blame. The local and state governments diverted pre-Katrina funds to shore up levees and to solidify effective hurricane evacuation to their pet projects. Ray Nagin let thousands of school buses sit in the New Orleans public school bus yard because he could not authorize their use. How, many phone calls would it have taken for him to get to the right person who could authorize it??? Probably less than two. He's one of the most inept and corrupt people in N.O. and yet the lemmings of N.O. voted him back in, because he could whine about the Fed. He didn't give a rip until his city was dessiminated then he did the usual nanny state liberal thing and that was to blame someone else. Don't even get me started on Ms. Air-head governor. She is a complete joke.

The federal government may beeen slow, but the state and local governments were beyond negligent. They are criminals.
Well, then post a link to YOUR local news!

Who gives a rip about local news in an already-decided state?
That's why the polls are NATIONAL polls, duh!

And I don't know what you're implying by your virus comment. Grow the he!! up already.
HSUS is not the local humane society....

HIDDEN  ENEMY :


HSUS – The Humane Society of the United States


Reptile breeders should feel pride in the progress they’ve helped achieve over the past several decades.  We’ve unraveled many of the mysteries of inducing our animals to reproduce in captivity, and have made ‘Captive-Bred’ ( = 'CB' ) a common adjective in the hobby and industry.  CB applied to herps is now understood to reflect ‘quality’ and ‘hardiness’ as pets.  The percentage of CB herps available today dwarfs what we had just ten years ago, and is already making up a significant proportion of herps sold in pet shops. 


Just as it seems obvious to us close to the herp industry that this natural evolution is proceeding well, new threats to our freedom to keep herps looms in the form of three ‘new’ enemies – the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS), The Fund For Animals, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).  The PETA are presently under scrutiny by the F.B.I. as a terrorism network because of their admission of funding extremists who have destroyed several facilities by fire.  These closely-aligned organizations have remained largely hidden from our notice until recently.  They have now set their sights on the reptile hobby and trade, their ultimate goals being to stop it completely. 


The HSUS is a familiar group to most people.  Its name seems to imply it all – humane treatment for animals.  In the past, the group took in abandoned cats and dogs, prosecuted farms that allowed livestock to starve, and went after people who mistreated animals in some way.  It created animal shelters, promoted spay-neuter programs, and developed modern euthanasia protocols.  We all applauded the old HSUS efforts and supported it with our donations.  We believed in what it stood for and helped make it a huge and powerful organization. 


The HSUS was wildly successful in its efforts.  The public was educated and abuse cases dwindled.  Nowadays, it’s headline news when a rare case of neglect or other atrocity against animals is uncovered and prosecuted.  Anyone who may have allowed care of an animal in their custody to become substandard is now frightfully aware of the consequences of such unacceptable behavior. 


Why is this seemingly worthy organization a problem now?


Since 1954, the HSUS has grown into a huge bureaucratic organization with 200+ employees and well over $200,000,000 (by 2005) in their bank accounts.  The money is stock-piled, and not one dollar of it is used to help the many ‘Humane Society’ shelters in cities across America .  The HSUS long ago separated itself from all the smaller regional societies around the country, sharing no funding at all with them now.  You are doing nothing to help your local community animal shelter by donating money to the Humane Society of the United States ! 


The HSUS got fat and prosperous capitalizing on our concern for the plight of homeless animals by bombarding us with tear-jerking fundraising campaigns.  Its assets naturally attracted humaniac extremist groups like PETA that wished to tap into the war chest of funds.  Radical animal rights proponents thoroughly infiltrated the HSUS and instilled their idealistic views as representing the whole organization’s doctrine.  Then a subtle ‘coup’ occurred in 1973, warranted by the changing leadership because “the costs of running a local animal control operation [was] drawing off funds needed elsewhere”.  (< That quote is from the HSUS’ own website!)   They literally declared that supporting the small Humane Society shelters across the U.S. was 'stealing' the money needed to pursue their own new humaniac agendas.


The HSUS split away completely, dropping financial support of all the smaller state ‘Humane Society’ groups.  But they did it quietly to leave everyone with the logical impression they were now just the national headquarters coordinating all ‘their local chapters’.  They have purposely done nothing to erase that illusion of ‘umbrella organization’ to insure receiving all the same donation monies you thought were still supporting your home town animal shelters.  The HSUS’s coffers swelled because they didn’t have to share the wealth anymore.  It was a pretty sneaky and wildly successful move on their part!


The HSUS grew into a rich monster that basked in the glory of its past accomplishments of conquering cruelty to animals.  But with that war largely won, the ‘new’ HSUS had a different agenda to set its sights on.  Most importantly, it had to continue evoking sympathy donations from the public to keep the money flowing in.  Creating a new, visible enemy became a necessity.  They chose to refocus on non-traditional pets largely because the ranks of people in the bird, reptile and fish hobbies / industries were less unified, easier targets.  This is why reptile-keeping has come under attack.  We’re the new excuse – the new bad guys – to keep their paychecks coming in steadily.


In its distorted view (and the published rhetoric it distributes to back it), reptiles are totally unsuitable as pets.  The HSUS preaches that nearly all reptiles suffer shortened life spans when kept in cages.  It goes so far as to include all captive-bred herps in that appraisal, but not through sheer ignorance. 


The HSUS’s clever strategy is to focus the public’s attention on isolated problems it can capture in pictures or on video to invoke sympathy, then imply that those disturbing images represent the norm in the entire industry.  Recognizing the huge progress in herpetoculture over the past couple decades would not strengthen the gloomy ecological scenario it wants people to remember when filling out those donation checks.  The HSUS purposely ignores captive breeding success and how it is rapidly replacing the need for some wild-caught herps.  It's crucial the public stay duped into believing that stopping reptile-keeping is the only way to protect animals in nature.  The HSUS needs this manufactured image to focus public condemnation and thus assure continued funding of their efforts.


Another HSUS approach is to scare us into believing that reptile-related Salmonella has reached plague proportions.  Its well-paid advertising staff uses the craftiest psychology to twist facts and statistics and to publicize the ‘huge’ health threat herps pose.  It knows such tactics weigh heavily on parents’ minds, hoping those frightened parents will prohibit their children from having herps at all. 


Just how big a problem is Salmonella anyway?  Bill and I do not know, or even know of, anyone who has ever contracted Salmonella from reptiles in their entire lives.  We don’t even personally know of any Salmonella cases, period, and we know and meet lots of herp keepers!  We don't doubt that it happens occasionally, but the HSUS is blowing public health fears all out of proportion to achieve their animal rights goals.


Unlike the old HSUS, the new PETAphile leaders have declared total war on all pet keepers, intending to end the practice of owning pets completely.  They’ve stated that goal repeatedly, though they try to subtly disguise the true, hidden agenda so not to scare away contributions from cat and dog owners.  On their website’s home page (http://www.hsus.org), they state “Promoting the protection of all animals”.  What they mean is to protect ALL animals from any use by humans - as pets, as food, as leather, for medical research --- EVERYthing!   Don’t let them fool you --- HSUS and PETA are essentially synonymous today.


The HSUS is presently trying to make virtually every act of pet keeping an offense by emphasizing every imperfection in our ability to draft new species into captivity / domestication.  They subtly bombard schools with free 'animal information' that carries their propaganda, preaching their private agenda to children so their 'conservation message' is taken to heart early.  When indoctrinated while young and impressionable, they hope those children will support the HSUS as future voters / donators.  The HSUS is no longer composed of soldiers for a noble cause.  They’re more like mercenaries who must create an enemy to assure their continued employment.  The modern HSUS is an animal rights organization masquerading as an animal welfare organization.  Supporting them is like supplying terrorists with money to hurt us.








The HSUS published this book {>>>} in 2001 - a persuasive political ploy disguised as a 'scientific report'.  It was freely distributed to all U.S. governmental regulatory bodies to sway them to help their cause.  This is how donation money sent to the HSUS is put to 'good' use.  The last paragraph of the entire 'study' sums up their position:

     "Finally, we recommend that [government] regulatory bodies put an end to the reptile trade:  State and local authorities are encouraged to ban the commercial collection of reptiles to protect wild populations of reptiles and ban the sale of reptiles as pets to the general public in order to protect human health..."


For more info on the dark side of the HSUS and PETA, go to http://www.animalscam.com .  Or read the book The Hijacking of the Humane Movement: Animal Extremism by Patti & Rod Strand.


IMPORTANT NOTE:   Don’t abandon the local Humane Society animal shelters in your own community – they’re still doing their commendable work as always. 


We have not suddenly become political activists.  This exposé is just an honest response to the attack the HSUS initiated upon all herp keepers.  We hope it may convince you to spread the word to friends and family.  Avoid doing anything that benefits the Humane Society of the United States, the reptile hobby and industry's new sworn enemy.

Our local news showed some people

who waited outside for 5-6 hours in freezing temps just to save maybe $50.  Lord have mercy.  I guess I'm thankful I don't need or want anything enough to do that!!


You're right about the me-me-me and it makes me sick.  People will kill each other for a dollar!! 


You confuse federal and local govt
Each state is supposed to govern themselves, not the federal government. Actually, it is unconstitutional for the federal government to even dictate laws to any state, which is why many states have now declared sovereignty from the federal government; they see the writing on the wall.

Taxes taken in by the states are supposed to be decided upon by the state how to use that money, including schools, law enforcement, etc..... NOT the federal government.

And yes, you would be able to defend yourself from foreign invaders because that is ALL the federal government is supposed to oversee in the first place, a strong military to defend our country against foreign invasion, which is a joke, considering they can't even defend our Mexico/US border!!!

You don't seem to understand that your government was NEVER to dictate to states what they do with their money, even if given money by the federal government; states are supposed to decide themselves how to best use the money..... federal government only says we'll give you the money but YOU have to do with it what we tell you to.

That is BIG brother mentality and it was never to be.......unfortunately, it is now worse than ever!!!
What?! She was reporting a local news story from
nm
Okay....right alongside them should be the Democratic local authorities who also have culpability.
fair is fair. This is particularly nasty little ol' post.
Are you also the type who...
believes he didn't do enough to prevent 911?  Because it seems people want it both ways.. Protect me and don't let anything happen to us, but for crying out loud don't DO anything that might be unpopular or make somebody mad.  You can't appreciate the difficult position?  If a suitcase nuke showed up here and was traced back to Saddam you'd be saying look, there was all that evidence and intelligence from countries all over the world and Bush ignored it and didn't depose Saddam.  He really can't win.  So he was bold and made a move.  More than some presidents would do, lest they find themselves down in the polls (which at times seems more important to some people than doing the right thing).  Maybe if Clinton had been a little more proactive during the 90s, while Al-Qaeda was growing and continually ratcheting up their attacks, 9/11 could have been averted.  Who knows. 
I would like to have had the same type...
questions asked of Bill Clinton when he ran for Pres the first time having been only the governor, one week after he started. He would have done no better, and he was running for the #1 spot.

She was good. She didn't fall into any of the traps he tried to lay for her...including the 3 times he asked her about hypothetical about Israel bombing Iran's nuclear facilities. He tried his best to trap her. She didn't bite. I just wish we could have a nonpartisan person interview McCain, Palin, Obama, and Biden, just ask a simple question not meant to trap and let the person answer it...and not badger them when they don't like the answer trying to get the answer the interviewer wants. Sigh.
But can she type?
I'm talking about the above poster's comment about Palin being "smart and good-looking." No one is contesting her intelligence (her readiness for the office of VP, maybe, but not her overall intelligence), & I'm pointing to the fact that being "good-looking" is a criterion that's only being applied to the woman candidate.
Do you really believe this type of
Inspired and enlightening as your beliefs are, I do not believe everyone on the planet in the last 2000 years has had the opportunity to accept or reject Christianity.  Personally, I just could never believe in a god who condemns his children for eternity due to an accident of birth... nor can I imagine (without a shudder) spending eternity singing hosannas next to the likes of you.  Did anybody get into heaven before the crucifixion?
Answer this question PLEASE. If the incompetence of the federal, state, and local
governments (especially federal because this is a national disaster) has nothing to do with race why was the response so slow?

Why is it that Bush is on the TV in the middle of hurricaines in Florida making appropriations for relief funds and when he DID not respond so abruptly even as New Orleans drowned in front of our eyes. I urge you to read the article I posted below A DIFFERENT AMERICA.

I think Bush and his office, the governor of Louisianna and the mayor of Louisianna (though I think he for one had good intentions) NO ONE, should have to wait on a permission slip to rush to the aid of Americas people.

I'm sorry, but the the govenor told us he didn't need the guard, story does not get anywhere with me because any competent president after hearing that NO was drowning with a good number of it's people in it would have immediately made it a national disaster. So again, if race didn't have anything to do with it, what is the reason?

I'm open minded and waiting for a good answer to this question.
I do believe Savage in this case, cuz announcements in the paper are the same way in my local area..
Where did I say anything else, I was just commenting on the announcement in the paper.  GEESH. 
Yes - there was a young surgeon featured on one local TV program about this mess. SM
I didn't catch the first part of the segment, but he is having to think about joining the military medical corps because he had just opened his practice when the recession hit and can't pay his loans, and there aren't any openings in other practices around here now.
You mean like "sometimes I think" - type
personal attacks? You have no moral high ground on which to make that demand.
Again, I am so afraid I can't type
I meant vote against Obama. You people have got to stop scaring me with these stories of Muslims taking over the world. How will I ever sleep at night?
How is it a stereo type?
It's true. When my husband worked for Mediacom Cable the people in the government housing would have the cable in their son's or daughter's names (some of them were 5 years old). Others buy cars either with cash from under the table or through a relative or friend so it is not listed as income or assets. There is no stereo type in that. White people, black people, hispanic people, they all do it.

I walked into the home of a child that I teach at youth group last week to bring some food. His mother doesn't work, no idea where his father is, but there is a huge flat screen tv in their single wide trailer! Talk about mixed up priorities. Can't wash clothes because the washer doesn't work, but we sure as heck can watch ESPN!

That's the problem with welfare. There are so many people on it we can't possibly keep enough caseworkers to check up on them! Instead of starting new programs on top of this one, why not create some jobs by hiring more caseworkers and investigating why these people are on welfare for 5, 10, even 15 years? What is keeping them from working? Is it legitimate, or is it like the white guy that used to live next door to me "I got a messed up ankle" yet he's out in the road playing street football. See, no stereotype, there are deadbeats everywhere, of all colors, shapes, and sizes! :)


This is exactly the type of comments we don't need.
Discuss issues but don't post snide remarks. Simple as that. Worship has no place on this board.
And the more I see of this type of intolerance..
the more I fear for our civil rights. People have sex. There is war, murder, rape, mutilation, etc., all over this world and it has been this way for eons. Take your religiosity to a deserted planet and you can squeeze your Bible all you want. It is MY right not to live under your rules or beliefs.
