Baby aspirin is technically chewable--and it is only 81 mg. So, they equate 81 mg with baby aspirin, because "grown-up" aspirin didn't used to come in low doses--it started coming in low doses when they started using it for heart health and didn't want the effects of gastro trouble with chronic aspirin use.

I know this was a joke. It was cute, by the way. But it makes me feel very old. This small dose of aspirin, when I was a kid (moons and moons ago) was all we had for a fever reducer. I don't know when Tylenol and Motrin came to be, but we were given these bitter-tasting baby aspirins for pain and fever. When it was discovered that Reyes syndrome was associated with the "flu" virus in conjunction with aspirin use in children the warning went on the label, and I know as a young parent my children had to be in dire straits before I would give them an aspirin for any reason.

the MTs she interview over the phone state the only reason they are leaving there jobs in pursuit of a new one is because there is no work. She said that is not a valid reason and she would hesitate to hire me because I was yet another one to state that.
******* That is the truth!!! She said if the work should get low or slow, would I leave her? I was at a loss for words. I mean, I guess she was right, but what the heck else am I to say the next time. If ...
ASR put "aspirin 71 mg" 71 mg? Clearly dictated as 81 mg. Also my ASR's new stupidity of the day is aspirin 3 and 25 instead, again CLEARLY dictated as three hundred twenty-five. Absolutely unbelievable. When you think it cannot POSSIBLY get any more stupid, it does. ...

Been doing this 30 years and this is a new one on me - dr going very fast, and no matter how I slow him down, it still s/l he is saying -
".....with the hip turned in internal rotation, a baby killer was placed into the neck with a Cobra placed medially....."
I cannot document any type of instrument that s/l this on Google anywhere. Lots of stuff comes up, but nothing legitimate. Is this a nickname for something? Is this really what he is saying? ...

Hi all :)
I wondered if I might be able to get some advice from those of you who have worked from home with a new baby. My baby was born in February and I'm due to start back to work soon. I have an older boy, but I worked outside the home with him. My baby is breast fed, which makes me wonder about how you handled frequent feedings. Also, I wanted to know what you used if you needed to keep typing but be able to hold the baby as well. I thought I would ...

I recently endured my third round of invasion by the Joint Commission, or JCAHO (Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations). I am still reeling from the experience. Without my consent and without warning, the investigator invited herself into the sanctum of our exam room, explaining that she had ver ...
I just had a baby 6 weeks ago and I am trying to start back working which I am finding impossible. I posted about this before I had my baby and a lot of you said that it was possible to work with a newborn......How!? I am so stressed out because I need to start back working because we need the money but everytime I try to she starts crying or needs something. For those of you who have experience with this, how did you work with a newborn in the house? Please any tips and ...
Guess they took over for the stork? My ASR has also taken a holiday from all small words today: is, was, the, and, then, etc. I guess it has been threatened to be more productive also. Just skip half the words and voila -- twice the production.
That gets really tedious hour after hour.

What will all the big MTSOs do then? There are classes in my town for MT training and all have been suspended or eliminated due to lack of interest. No surprise there! I hit 60 in 2 more months and like some who posted below, I was going to keep working for years, even part time while getting my SS. With yet another "take over" by a huge MTSO (Nuance), I am just hanging on until I hit 62 or so, and then hanging this sorrowful profession up in the closet, where it surely h ...

I invested in a "good" or what I thought was a "good" pair of headphones a while back. However, lately I have been struggling with dictators. It seems like more and more of them have mumbling, stumbling speech making it EXTREMELY difficult to interpret.
In a "perfect" world, our job would be soooo much easier and not having to struggle with them mumbling, whispering, holding conversations (or at least attempting to) while dictating, and on and on.
Oh well, at least I have a j ...
Had eye exam today--getting new glasses. Can't wait to see better.
I also had a brief hearing test as well. Got set up for appointment with audiologist. It seems my left ear does not hear low tones and the right does not hear high tones. It is no wonder to me as all the years I have worn headphones, ear buds, or loud music. Keeping my fingers crossed. ...
...the business model works well for them. They made their money off you before you even signed on. They made it 1) when they landed your previous facility's contract and 2) when you were gullible enough to sign on to help voice wreck unemploy yourselves. If they wanted you to stick around you'd be so overworked you could not stand it. Nothing new about any of this stuff except this appears to be the latest set of Nuance casualties. In another month there will be another new set when t ...
Just wanted to share something with you. I have used it since August and amso pleased. I am very impressed with the quality of the headset I purchased from http://www.startsto p.com/transcript ion_accessories. asp#30585 (this is the site for the headset)This headset is wonderful for folks who have a problem hearing andunderstanding the spoken word. They tested this headset in real doctors' offices with real MTs who had nothing to do withtheir company.I cannot tell you how impressed I ...
