Lyris: the First Place I Look When I Don’T Know Something Lyris: The first place I look when I don’t know something Francis “Sam” Santschi, JD AAOE Membership Council Chair Diana Kruse MD If you are like me, you are seldom Reaganing* while at work. We are counted on to be knowledgeable, have answers and yet we often need help. Our role is to master the ever increasing burdens of complexity and responsibility in the running of an Orthopaedic practice. (Now and in the future, we’ll need to hopefully find a way to link our compensation, and framing the debate to reflect, that last sentence rather than linking our pay to the shrinking physician’s average compensation in the way that a lot of us do now. But I digress.) Recently, my doctor decided to tiptoe into the EHR/EMR issue again. She had heard that our only in town competition was getting one. Despite her natural aversion and tech phobia, she now wanted to revisit it. I had thought the issue had been resolved long ago and so I had watched the ongoing listserv chatter about it with detached amusement. Naturally, it was the second week of August, hardly the time to start planning, let alone, researching EMR’s with October fast approaching. But, we are paid to drop everything and set off on any quixotic mission that rises to the fore so I had to come up with something fast. What’s the first place I looked? Lyris. (But wait, what in the world is Lyris?) It is an amazing and valuable benefit included in our membership that is a searchable and sortable archive of all listserv posts dating back to March of 2011! I went to the internet machine and accessed our site at www.aaoe.net and followed these simple steps to Lyris: Click the Member Login box Login using your AAOE Username Enter your password The MyAccount page appears Click on Member Services Scroll down to the AAOE Listserv section and click on the Lyris link Click on the AAOE Discussion List A prompt requesting you to sign in will appear Enter your email address that is used for the Listserv and clock ok Enter your password for Lyris (If you have never accessed Lyris, enter your email address that is used for the Listserv and click ok. You will be prompted by the system to enter a password, which you obviously don’t have, so enter “AAOE”, which will prompt an error message in the lower right corner “email password”. Click on that and a link will be sent to your email that allows you to “reset” your password for Lyris.) Listserv Archive messages appear Once successfully logged in, I clicked the search bar and entered “EHR” as a Lyris search. Instantly, over a hundred results came up for me to click on and review their contents. I even found my teasing “we’re sitting this one out.” message, sigh. Within the Lyris search results, I found surveys compiled by several individuals over the course of a 6-9 month period. There were checklists and questionnaires to use or customize into RFI’s. I then searched under EMR and there were over a hundred more posts including a long thread about “choosing not to go to EMR” to review. Also in there were comments from folks about the pluses and minuses of EHR/EMR, implementation horror stories, strategies, rants, tips etcetera. In short, I had a really reasonable idea of what vendors to approach and why and ideas for implementation as well. This was all in a matter of minutes! So I contacted a few, scheduled an on-line demo within days and in less than a week; we had several companies nipping at our heels, wanting our business. So, did we get an EMR system? Well, let’s just say, my doctor went into an empty exam room shortly after the first online demo for a lie down. Haven’t heard a word since…Well, she did finally get up. So, do yourself a favor the next time you’re thinking, “Gee, there was a thread a long time ago on the Listserv about…” and head out to Lyris and see what is readily available. Or if you need a laugh, just search under the word “rant”. At last count, there were seventy eight hits from that search. Is Lyris perfect? No, but rest assured, our excellent AAOE staff and hardworking Committee’s are testing a redesign of our website that will eventually allow us members access to listserv archival material and other informative content designed to help us all with a few mouse clicks directly from our website. The more collectively AAOE knows what it knows and can bring forward easily and quickly, the more valuable our memberships become and so do we. *Reaganing---“Making it through a full 24-hours, without a single misstep is called “Reaganing,” after our former President. The only other people who have ever done it: Lee Iacocca, Jack Welch, and, no judgment, Saddam Hussein." - Jack Donaghy 30 Rock TV show .

  • Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock
    Genders 1998-2013 Genders 1998-2013 Genders 1998-2013 Home (/gendersarchive1998-2013/) Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock Feminism, Postfeminism, Liz Lemonism: Comedy and Gender Politics on 30 Rock May 1, 2012 • By Linda Mizejewski (/gendersarchive1998-2013/linda-mizejewski) [1] The title of Tina Fey's humorous 2011 memoir, Bossypants, suggests how closely Fey is identified with her Emmy-award winning NBC sitcom 30 Rock (2006-), where she is the "boss"—the show's creator, star, head writer, and executive producer. Fey's reputation as a feminist—indeed, as Hollywood's Token Feminist, as some journalists have wryly pointed out—heavily inflects the character she plays, the "bossy" Liz Lemon, whose idealistic feminism is a mainstay of her characterization and of the show's comedy. Fey's comedy has always focused on gender, beginning with her work on Saturday Night Live (SNL) where she became that show's first female head writer in 1999. A year later she moved from behind the scenes to appear in the "Weekend Update" sketches, attracting national attention as a gifted comic with a penchant for zeroing in on women's issues. Fey's connection to feminist politics escalated when she returned to SNL for guest appearances during the presidential campaign of 2008, first in a sketch protesting the sexist media treatment of Hillary Clinton, and more forcefully, in her stunning imitations of vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin, which launched Fey into national politics and prominence. [2] On 30 Rock, Liz Lemon is the head writer of an NBC comedy much likeSNL, and she is identified as a "third wave feminist" on the pilot episode.

  • 30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom
    30 Rock: Complexity, Metareferentiality and the Contemporary Quality Sitcom Katrin Horn When the sitcom 30 Rock first aired in 2006 on NBC, the odds were against a renewal for a second season. Not only was it pitched against another new show with the same “behind the scenes”-idea, namely the drama series Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. 30 Rock’s often absurd storylines, obscure references, quick- witted dialogues, and fast-paced punch lines furthermore did not make for easy consumption, and thus the show failed to attract a sizeable amount of viewers. While Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip did not become an instant success either, it still did comparatively well in the Nielson ratings and had the additional advantage of being a drama series produced by a household name, Aaron Sorkin1 of The West Wing (NBC, 1999-2006) fame, at a time when high-quality prime-time drama shows were dominating fan and critical debates about TV. Still, in a rather surprising programming decision NBC cancelled the drama series, renewed the comedy instead and later incorporated 30 Rock into its Thursday night line-up2 called “Comedy Night Done Right.”3 Here the show has been aired between other single-camera-comedy shows which, like 30 Rock, 1 | Aaron Sorkin has aEntwurf short cameo in “Plan B” (S5E18), in which he meets Liz Lemon as they both apply for the same writing job: Liz: Do I know you? Aaron: You know my work. Walk with me. I’m Aaron Sorkin. The West Wing, A Few Good Men, The Social Network.

Iconic supporting parts in Fargo, The Sopranos, and—of course—30 Rock. So, we’ll skip the long intro and talk about his newest work. [Music fades out.] It’s a TV show called Miracle Workers, a comedy created by the hilarious Simon Rich—the same person behind Man Seeking Woman and a bunch of brilliantly written works you might have seen in The New Yorker, or on one of his many books, or heard on this show. Each season, Miracle Workers tells a different story with the same cast. Season one was set in Heaven, which is run kind of like a soulless megacorporation with an absentee CEO. Steve played God.

JACK DONAGHY’S OFFICE-DAY Jack is in his office with Doctor Leo Spaceman. He is getting an EKG. Jack’s shirt is off and the doctor is placing the electrodes on Jack’s chest. The table is way too small for Jack’s body. JACK Careful, Leo! Other than my erect penis, the chest pecs are the manliest area of my body! LEO Should I be placing these on your Johnson, Mister Johnson? Jack gives Leo a spacey stare. JACK Leo, what is wrong with you? It’s Jack Donaghy. Your boss, remember? LEO Right. Sorry, I’m not my self since I got back from rehab. JACK You went to rehab? When? LEO Technically speaking, I’m still there. Is it acceptable medical etiquette to leave after you’ve administered an enema to a patient in withdrawal? JACK Unless it’s Harry Reid, of course it isn’t! Leo, get a hold of yourself! Liz walks into the office. The two men are holding an enema hose. LIZ Excuse me, boys, but I thought I was in the office of Jack Donaghy, not my writer’s room. JACK Lemon, I.... 2.
