Thoughts On Dental Assistant Jobs
September 26, 2008 on 8:40 pm | By admin | In Health & Fitness :: MedicineMy job stinks. I’ve been thinking of making a change - something that won’t require too much school, but is a cut above bartending. I was told to check out dental assistant jobs. I suppose dealing with bad breath and fillings beats getting groped by drunks.
I’ve been reading up on Dental Assistant Salary Ranges, and think I might be interested. Getting a job should be no problem once I have the training done.
I can’t wait to ditch my current boss - so it may be worth it to do the training at night or over the weekend.
I’ll keep you posted.

I have to get my life together and do some serious growing up. The time is long past.
Until next time.

What kind of Medical Transcriptionist Certificate do you need?
August 15, 2008 on 1:45 pm | By admin | In Health & Fitness :: MedicineSo you've decided to try your hand in Medical Transcription - but what sort of certification would help you get the Medical Transcriptionist job you are looking for?

One way to get started is to enroll in and start taking medical transcription online classes; this would put you in the catbird seat for possible medical transcriptionist positions. Then, you can start contacting Medical Transcription companies to see if they have a job for you. You can often work from home, set your own hours, and post your work via the Internet.

Correcting Blurred Vision With Surgery
June 11, 2008 on 1:44 pm | By admin | In Health & Fitness :: MedicineAfter lasik eye surgery, it is possible to contract astigmatism or blurred vision. Follow-up treatments of undercorrection or overcorrection will solve this side effect pretty easily. To a certain degree, some cases of astigmatism can, in fact, enhance a patient’s vision. If, after a Lasik procedure, you still have to rely on corrective lenses to perform certain specific tasks, you might want to head back to the eye clinic or eye surgeon for a possible follow-up procedure that will further correct your vision. This enhanced Lasik follow-up procedure will certainly allow you to receive the kind of vision you wanted in the first place.
Bifocal Contact Lenses?
June 8, 2008 on 6:44 am | By admin | In Health & Fitness :: MedicineIf you are getting older, and need a bit of help when you read, you are perhaps very familiar with traditional bifocal eyeglasses — the lens is divided into two separate sections, with the lower section used as a kind of a magnifier that allows your eyes to more easily read printed material. Did you know that it is possible to purchase bifocal contact lenses today? They function pretty much just like your glasses would — with them in place, you will find it very easy to read printed material — but you won't have the inconvenience of having to carry around a special pair of reading glasses wherever you go.
