Need help from Cardiology MTs
I was just put on an account that has tons of cardiac reports, lots of echos and cath reports that I have never done before.  Can anyone suggest good references or websites that can help me with this?  I'm having a hard time verifying guidwire and stent names.  I have 2 surgery books and Stedman's Cardiology, but I can't find everything I need to look up and I'm so overwhelmed.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. 
Is anyone out there transcribing for Cardiology?
Just wondering if it is fairly easy to catch on or a pain in the butt? I might take a position but I'd like to know if I will be able to handle it as a newbie? What do you think?
HELP! cardiology question

when dictating...He has a dominant _______ (circ) which is 100% occluded....colaterals for a AV ______ (circ)


what is circ? circumflex artery?


Capitalization of Cardiology
I was taught (and it is required by my company) that you capitalize a word not usually capitalized when it is used as an entity as it is in your example (used to mean someone in the cardiology dept). A good example is when a doc says "An orogastric tube was placed by Anesthesia" you would capitalize anesthesia, as it refers to a person and not "the thing" of anesthesia. If not capitalized, it calls to mind some kind of anesthesia (endotrachial, perhaps?) placing the orogastric tube. Capitlizing it adds clarity.
Cardiology MTs will laugh at this

I found this on YouTube yesterday and wanted to share. It's done by med students and is reall well written and funny. I don't do cardiology, but still got a big kick out of it (and learned some things).

Cardiology is my favorite specialty (sm)
I can't say why, though. I just like the terminology and it just seems like it's easier to look things up maybe?

Be sure you have a good cardiology book. It will be helpful, but if you do caths and PCIs, etc. there are new instruments and stents that come out like it seems every minute, so having a few good cardiology sites and knowing how to search the web is a big help.

I ENVY YOU!! And good luck!
I've been doing Cardiology for 7+ years -
and have been thinking about changing as the company I work for is beginning to send things overseas.  What company is hiring for oncology?  I gues it wouldn't hurt to inquire.  Thanks and good luck to you.

Yep, cardiology here, too! Used to hate those super long sm
op notes but found I got great lines with them! Now, I can't wait to do them.
Need tips on being productive with cardiology procedures
Thanks
Good cardiology info site?
 
i give credit to all who love ops cuz i cant stand them. i like cardiology
/
Hardest: Dental surgery. Easiest: Cardiology, OPs. sm
Most interesting: Psych.

I think it's generally whatever you get the least of that you'll find the hardest. I used to hate OPs, GI procedures, and cardiology, but eventually got used to them and found they are repetitive (aka good money makers!).
Cardiology and sleep study transcription questions

I am looking for other Transcriptionist that have cardiology and sleep study backgrounds. I am a newer MT, I am starting a cardiology and sleep study transcription account next week and have never transcribed for this specialty.


I wanted to know if there are specific word books or websites that you find helpful and are there specific things that you could tell me about the specialty that may help me?


 


I would appreciate any feedback


Thanks,


Angie


Cardiac Clinic - no do not capitalize; Cardiology - yes as it is referred to as an entity. nm

The Dorland's Cardiology Word Book is good, too. Might find books at half.com even if a few years

Love cardiology, hate podiatry. Hate discharges, but

FTP sites...
Does anyone know of any FTP sites that do not have a user fee? I am currently using a software that charges me 0.025 cpl and I find it's a ripoff. I really don't make any money off this software, AND I paid an arm and a leg for this software. Can anyone tell me where I can find an FTP site that does not charge a user fee? TIA.
OB/GYN sites

Can someone tell me of some good OB/GYN sites out there?  For that matter, any good specialty sites.  I'm fairly new to transcription and still gathering good reference sites.


Thanks in advance!


MTOhio


sites
There is chemocare.com and cancer-info.com.
OB/GYN web sites
Does anybody have any good web sites for OB/GYN and peds?  I haven't done all that much of either one and I'm having a slow go with the acronyms.  Any help would really be appreciated!

what other sites do you use?
TIA
Many thanks 2 U both 4 the 3 gr8 sites (sm)

I'm good to go!!



 


It's right on their Web sites...

Visit this site, read paragraph 2 and notice the word global.  It doesn't appear they are trying to hide anything.

Some different sites here too . .

These help me:


For City/States/Counties:  *HomeTownLocator* --  http://www.hometownlocator.com/


For Orthopedics:  Really great site.  Can use search box or click on any part of the skeleton.  *Wheeless On Line* --  http://www.wheelessonline.com/


For Medical Abbreviations:  Also has a medical dictionary, drug search and medical instrument search, but I just use it for the Abbreviations.  *MediLexicon*   http://www.medilexicon.com/


For Chemotherapy Drugs - *ChemoCare*  http://www.chemocare.com/bio/


For Medical Dictionary - *Dorlands Medical Dictionary* - http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands_split.jsp?pg=/ppdocs/us/common/dorlands/dorland/misc/A_TOC.htm


For Clinical Trials - http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/


Those are some of what I use all the time. 


 


thanks a lot for these sites
I appreciate you taking the time to give them to me!
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???

I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com

I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.

Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.
Any of you pet lovers seen these sites?

So cute, and so addicting!


Thanks for the sites. I have a question...
I have avoided calling Dell to ask for help with certain issues because I cannot understand them. If I ask them to transfer me to a US office, will they?
cancer sites
I usually use the NIH-National Cancer Institute site. It has listing of clinical trials, types of drugs, different types of cancer treatments. I also depend heavily on the Oncology Word Book by Stedman.
The other sites might as well not exist
They are so self censored that they won't give a company's name, so they might as well not exist. MTStars is the best board on the internet for FREEDOM OF INFORMATION. Posters may say that people are negative on this board, but they are honest and realistic. The other boards are so full of Pollyannas they are virtually worthless -- INCLUDING boards you have to pay by the month.


if they use the BOS on offshore sites.
If so, the AAMT must be making a killing.
I just checked out both of these sites and
there is no rsp.com and the other said the site was under construction. I have heard that VA jobs are the jobs to have, though. Good luck!!
At my clinical sites,...sm
the physicians' handwritten orders are transcribed by the unit clerk into the MAR (medication administration record), or if they are using Meditech they get transcribed into Meditech, again by the unit clerk. Nurses are very savvy on drugs and doses and are expected to question anything that is, well, questionable. A nurse is liable for administering the wrong drug even if the doc ordered it wrong. Both clinical sites I have been at so far were Magnet status - that is a hospital that has undergone extensive credentialing to show superior nursing care. Magnet hospitals have the lowest nurse:patient ratio, which has been directly linked with less deaths and better patient care... just my two cents.
Drug sites

What are some favorite drug sites?  Thanks in advance.


Drug sites
My favorite is rxlist.com
?Rheumatology sites sm
Anyone know any good links to rheumatology sites? Appreciate your answer(s).
