New & improved INRatio???

[HemoSense-Brendan]

Oh great...I just ordered the original today...oh well.

You will still be very delighted with INRatio original. I will stake my reputation on it. The INRatio2 offers some nice enhancements, but by no means are INRatio customers "behind the technology curve".

Some of the enhancements are:
smaller size monitor
60 second test time (vs. ~90 for the INRatio)
Icon Menu display (vs. text for the INRatio)

The orginal INRatio is a very easy to use, accurate and dependable monitor that I believe you will be very satisfied with.

"steak my reputation" ???

Makes me wonder, did you type this or are you using a voice recognigition program on your computer.

I notice that Homonyms (such as STEAK vs. STAKE) seem to be mixed up frequently in posts to VR.com

Other examples

There, Their, They're

Hear, Here

etc.

Al:
Be glad you don't work for a newspaper, like I do. You would be amused, even shocked, at the copy we get from customers and the public. And most of the time, they insist THEY are right and we are wrong, wrong wrong!

How about:
Pepsicola, Florida
Land Basses, Texas (for Lampasas)
penile instead of penal (didn't make it into my newspaper, but it did in several others)
centurion instead of centenarian

I once edited copy that described a woman as being "adverse to nurturing her children." I was horrified and called the source to verify that's exactly what was meant. Nope, it was supposed to be "very nurturing to her children." Ooooooooops!

People are so busy today that they don't have/take time to read text. Instead, they rely on spellcheck; I have yet to find a spellcheck program that discerns word usage in a sentence.

Did any of you have any trouble getting your insurance companies to pay for your INR machines? I have Blue Cross & Blue Shield so I think I'm going to also give it a try as I drive 90 miles one way just to get an INR check. This does get old.

Any response would be appreciated.

Yes Ron unfortunately most people do have problems. If you go with QAS for a supplier, they'll deal with your insurance company, most of the others will not.

It depends on what type of BC/BS you have. Mine covered it - other have not. The fact that you have to drive 90 miles is a definite reason to have to get one.

Hi Ron,in canada my hubby and i both
have Great West and they won't cover it.
Roche where i purchased it from are working
on a coverage for us Canadians,however all
takes sooooooo long,but whatever i buy my
strips by 24 at 180.00 a shot and do my inr
weekly,because i feel more confident weekly
Think depends what coverage your on here
Bina in ontario has some coverage on her
insurance,on one of her posts she stated.
I was just in Edmonton and they are going to
be using these machines in the near future,
and of course i don't travel without mine and they
let me use mine at all times over the lab draws
in the hospital,and were very supportive towards
me having the coagucheck xs and supportive
i do my own warfarin and use the machine,so this
made my life sooo much easier yet. Wish you luck
with your venture with this.
