Guest guest Posted May 31, 2003 Report Share Posted May 31, 2003 In my experience, it can vary wildly. As already stated, if there's an office of the company local to you they *might* have you come in and test personally, but in many cases the recruiters and QA folks are scattered around the country, just as the MTs are, and most of the testing is handled via the computer. Sometimes, it involves only a phone call and an oral test (which may include questions about grammar, spelling, drug names and uses, etc.). Other times, it can be rather grueling transcription of some rather hard-to-hear (and often ESL, to boot) dictations, just to see how well you handle the unfamiliar. :-) Most of the testing I've experienced has been pretty basic stuff, however, and usually somewhat casual.

Guest guest Posted February 24, 2005 Report Share Posted February 24, 2005 Hi , I know you already got some great responses and yes, it does indicate protein. Just be aware that the dipsticks are known to not be as accurate as lab tests. I hope his protein levels are not on the rise. Please keep us posted on how Rob is doing.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Ronnie, The Muscular Dystrophy Family FoundationR! may help find and pay for a lift! http://www.mdff.org/ Lynn http://spoilingaunty.tripod.com question I need to build a garage to house my van. Where I want to put it will make it about 30 to 36 inches lower than the house entry. At Spring Fling Don looked the sight over and reminded me of the requirements for a ramp. To get a ramp from that garage to the entry would require an awfully long ramp. So I'm wondering. Vaughn? I don't do searches. My computer is so slow I'd be dead before I got close to what I am looking for. Surely there are elevator type lifts out there that aren't exactly elevators. My van has a lift instead of a ramp. Would this same thing work in the garage? Where would I find one of these and they just couldn't cost a million dollars....or could they? If we raise the garage to the same level as the house it is going to take a lot of fill and make for a pretty steep entry as I don't have a whole lot of ground to spread this thing out on. Any other suggestions? Ronnie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Hi, Ronnie, Was thinking, and it was especially tough for some reason. No need for comment, Vaughn. Rather than raising the floor of the garage, how about a raised " step " attached to the house? It could be positioned by what ever entrance you plan (replacing a window with a door?) and the lift can lower you to the step, then drive right into the house. That would take much less fill, and should not increase the cost all that much.If the " step " were long enough, you could put things like the freezer on it and then not have to negotiate the step to the present location.

Guest guest Posted May 2, 2005 Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Hi , First, thank you so much for your prayers, and to everyone else who has been praying for us and for Jim's family too. As to the transplant list, in the US, you can be listed when you get down to 20% function. It used to be that a Nephrologist could use their discretion on when to list a patient here in the United States, but they rules were changed over the past 4 or 5 years that you have to be at 20% or below to be listed. A preemptive transplant is where you get transplanted prior to being on dialysis. They try to time a transplant between 10-15% so you do not have to st art dialysis first. If you have living donors who match, you have a good chance of being able to do that. Jing I believe is the last member that I can remember off the top of my head who had a preemptive transplant. We have had other members with more recent transplants, but they were on dialysis first. , one of our moderators also had a preemptive transplant. It is the exception rather than the rule to get a transplant prior to starting dialysis, but if it can be arranged, it is easier on the patient. In a message dated 5/2/2005 9:05:04 A.M. Pacific Daylight Time, kfpilot@... writes: I have been out of touch for a while...working alot. , Your friends are in my prayers......... I am wondering...I have not been able to find any specific info on my question..... At what point can you be put on the transplant list? Do you have to be at a certain level or can you go on the list at any time? I have read about a preventative transplant....what is that? Is is common for someone to get a transplant without being on dyalisis? I know I will ask my neph all this when I go back, but that isn for another 2 weeks.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 I hope this one goes through, my email doesn't like me much these days. Simple question: do you only get the soreness in your throat area with Hashi's, or can that happen no matter what the cause of the hypothyroidism? Thanks!
