Doc is referring patient for labs to rule out rheumatoid arthritis. He's listed these a million times and always says "CCP level." This time he said "citrullinated cross-linked peptides." I'm thinking he just doesn't know what CCP stands for, as I can only find "cyclic citrullinated peptide". He's not a rheumatologist, but then again, neither am I. Can someone with rheumatology experience weigh in? ...

Okay ladies...I have only been reading this forum for a few months now. I am about to stay as far from here as some of the MTSOs out there. For the most part, this forum is not the supportive place I had hoped it would be. This forum is mostly depressing. We don't build each other up here - we tear each other down, as if that is not done enough in the work place. This place has got to be one of the worst for being so incredibly petty, stabby, over sensitive, ca ...

It appears that nobody is happy about this new payment system, including myself. The question is what do we do about. Everybody quitting and finding another job is not going to solve the problem. If MTs accept and take this type of pay system, it then sets the stage for other companies to start paying the same. Is this even legal? Are they allowed to pay us on performance? How do remote MTs form together to make a difference if they really want to?? ...

Have any of you had a hard time finding work as an MT because of age discrimination? I have run into this for the very first time this year. I have not worked for a few months because they laid off a lot of MTs at the company I worked for; mainly because they promised something they could not give. We would have 4 or 5 accounts and no work on almost all of them. We would be left scrambling for work and got the worst work possible. The supervisor at night watched the ...

His current dose of s/l panisex is 6000 units 3 times a week. I know that's not correct. It takes me to porn sites when I search. Anyone have any idea what this drug might be?

"The patient gives a good history of symmetric inflammatory disease with onset and stiffness that are consistent with a s/l seenya rheumatoid arthritis. She does not have a significant family history, but she is a smoker, which is a known risk factor for developing RA." I'm unsure if the dr. is changing her mind midsentence and wants to say "that are seen in a" or if she's saying "with a seed of" or something completely different. I thought she might be saying "senior" but ...

Telephone use is very difficult and almost non-existent. Boosters do not help. Also diagnosed recently with RA and having difficulty with my fingers, but not letting it get me down. I am on treatment that is working well. Just wondered if anyone else is having any of these issues and how they are dealing with them. Th ...
