I just accepted a job with TransTech and was wondering if there are any other MTs on here who work for them? It would be nice to stay in touch with other MTs who work for the same company.

As you can tell, the new server uptime has not been spectacular.
I had been running 2 hosting accounts. Last year, MT Desk overwhelmed my shared server and the hosting company required me to move it to a virtual private server. Apparently, my host thought I had upgraded - I thought I was paying for 2 accounts. The host finally realized I was still using the old account and that they hadn't billed me for it, so they required me to move everything to the same server MT Desk was on. (So much for thinking if I could get my act together, I'd save some money! Turns out I was already saving money and didn't know it!)
I'm waiting to hear from them about what's been going on with the server for the last couple of days. I have a hard time believing I overwhelmed it.
Anyway, that's what's going on. I'm sorry for the up/down on the site; hopefully it will be resolved soon and go back to being stable. I don't really want to have to move to another host, but having done it once already recently, I'm much better prepared for it than I was a week ago! 
Just an update: The server issues should be resolved today. Thanks.

One of my most vivid childhood memories is that of standing beside my Grandpa Jack each morning and helping him gently, gently massage the cramping curves of each of Grandma Ruthie's fingers until she could very slowly straighten those fingers out by herself. She never complained of the pain, but sometimes, during the day, I would look up and catch her crying as she tried to do the simplest things, use scissors to cut out a coupon or open a jar.
Every night before bed Grandma Ruthie would have two shots of Jim Beam, straight up, one right after the other, just before bed. She called it her "medicine" and swore it eased the pain in her hands ... darned if medical science has not caught up with the woman!
Alcohol helps rheumatoid arthritis symptoms
Rheumatoid arthritis patients who drink alcohol tend to have less severe symptoms than those who don’t, a new study finds.
Earlier research has shown that compared to teetotalers, alcohol drinkers are less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis, a progressive and often disabling inflammatory disease that attacks the joints.
But the study is the first to suggest drinking alcohol can lessen the severity of symptoms in people who already have the disease.
Patients in the study who drank at least 10 alcoholic beverages a month had 20% to 30% less pain and inflammation than patients who didn’t drink alcohol, rheumatologist and study co-author James Maxwell of England's University of Sheffield tells WebMD.

Hello all -
I am leaving the MT business but have a set of Stedman's books for sale:
Stedman's Abbreviations, Acronyms & Symbols
" Organisms and Infectious Disease Words
" Dermatology and Immunology
" Orthopaedic and Rehab
" Medical and Surgical Equipment
" Ophthalmology
Also have AAMT Book of Style 2nd Edition (a little beat up but useful nonetheless)
Physician's Desk Reference (PDR) 2009
I am asking $75 for all books which is a great deal since I paid at least $35 individually for them. I will ship via the post office fixed rate parcels. I think they will fit in the medium or large box which is about $14 or $15, I think. Will let you know the final price including shipping once I know. Please PM with your address and if you can pay via PayPal, which is preferred.
Thanks

I am filling in for someone and I can't hear him very well. I'm doing a simple H&P and this patient has loss of vision in the right eye only.
Doctor says: "It was totally in the right eye. There was no ________" It sounds like he's saying "imionopsy." I can't find this in my dictionary or online. I have looked up every spelling I can come up with. Does anyone know what this word is?
Thanks!!
