Sted's Ortho
Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words 5th Edition (bright green) includes chiropractic, occupational therapy, physical therapy, PODIATRIC, & Sports Medicine.
I think the Ortho and Rehab is the one I pick up the most as well.

I have a Stedman's Ortho & Rehab book too
I type strictly ortho reports and that book has helped tremendously!! They have other books for other specialties too. They are worth every penny!
My most worn Stedman's is the Ortho & Rehab.
The binding is totally beat and I actually have pages starting to fall out...second to that would be the Cardiology and Pulmonary words. Congratulations on your new gig!
Get a Stedman's Ortho & Rehab word book, . . .
and you can check. Put them into your word Expander correctly (capped or not), and you won't have to try to remember which tests are and aren't capped. :)
Tessier's is great! Used in combo with the Sted's Ortho and you're good! nm

Stedman's Orthopedic & Rehab Words, both on CD and book
With the CD, all you do is highlight the word and click on the icon.
Think I found it: ortho/neuro words & phrases by ..
Health Professions Institute. Found it on a book site. The 1994 edition got a good review. The 2000 edition got a bad one. Anyone?
Can I help? Ortho/WC MT experience x14 years.
You need help on something???
Key words being you've been doing it for 17 years.
Many of us in the field a long time make that kind of money. But most new MTs start out making 10 dollars an hour or less and that can last a while. I am an MT trainer so I know from dealing with new MTs. Many are disappointed and many wish they had gone into something else. And it most certainly is a declining field for the most part, money-wise, and professionally, etc. I also get to see who gets hired and it is scary. I think the OP should put her brains and education to better use where they will be better appreciated and better compensated.
Some people live like this for years.....
The last time I got out of the hospital I couldn't work for almost two months, and that really set me back. I'm single so have only one income, and a house payment with a second mortgage. You can do a lot of things with beans, rice, potatoes. There are loads of dollar stores and outlet stores almost everywhere...... Big Lots, Grocery Outlet, Wonder Outlet, day-old section in the grocery store... even meat from the day before if you get there early enough. Sometimes right before bakeries close you can get bags or boxes or donuts and bread for almost nothing. As for the ice cream, can't help you on that one. Things are tough everywhere it seems.
We live in the country in the south - been using it for years with kids and pets - no worries or pro

You'll need a lab words book and maybe the Derm and Immunology Words..nm

The both offer a pretty complete line, but I do like the Sted's. nm

Rehab is good. Might get a little boring to some

Rehab medicine will include PT, OT, sm
speech therapy, etc.
Try the Vocational Rehab in your state
You may qualify for their providing you special equipment to continue doing your work. Their mission is to keep people gainfully employed, especially in the face of disabilities, and off government aid like SSD. There is a well-known woman in the MT community who has had tremendous accomplisments with the assistance of Voc Rebab.
half.com carries used Sted's books and new ones thru Amazon. Good luck! nm

Can find lots of the Sted's books at www.half.com, too. Love 'em! nm

I used this with United of No.Carolina. It seemed kind of slow and archaic. Didn't use the Sted&

Rehab is easy, some muscle names might get you at first but you will learn quick - sm
I first started on PT, good way to start when you are green. Loved it, simple and good lines.
Stedmans Med $ Surgical Equip words, Path and Lab words, and Tessiers Surgical Word book (3rd
edition). I never buy drug books anymore. Waist of money in my opinion. New drugs come out so often, it's best to use the web.
why no, i don't live in snobville. did you think you knew me? i live in heritage hills a suburb
it takes a little longer to get to work and shopping but thank god i have some privacy and am away from the congestion. lovely trees and lakes all around. maybe about 20 minutes to a large shopping mall. but no, i don't even know where snobville is.
I've found this resource pretty useful for rehab work. Link inside.
Have this as one of my bookmarks - found this handy whilst handling rehab work. Hope this helps!

why yes the quality of air where i live is quite different than where the city people live.
Lots of pollution. That's why everyone is moving away from the city and areas zoned for multiple housing units and low income housing and trailer parks. Population is dense and near manufacturing. So yes, the air is different but millions of people pay a little extra for the quality, the space and privacy afforded to those who move out of polluted crowded areas such as you defend. There is always a reason why some areas and housing is cheaper than others. Maybe it is the air and maybe it's something you can't quite put your finger on but you know you would prefer not to live in certain areas. You know what I mean or are you living in one of those areas? They tell after awhile you block out the sounds, the smells and get used to the pollution. I don't know. I didn't stay long enough to test the theory. My mental and physical health is way too important to me.
I know they live a long time, so if there is a chance they will out live you - sm
make sure you make provisions for them in your will. I have only had cockatiels and some finches, so don't really know anything about the bigger birds. I love African Grey's but they are very expensive.
Live and let live. Don't force your lifestyle on me.

I used to live in MN now I live in MS and they were both cold last night!
Will take MS cold over MN cold any day, and I don't miss the snow. I miss the Mall of America, though!
I live in PA, can I help? If they are close to where I live, I would go check them out for ya!
Where in PA is this company?
pt ortho
There is a post on job seeker's board for part-time ortho or p.r.n. I am not sure if it is filled yet or not. You will have to scroll down a ways to find it.
and if you can do ortho, you then can...sm
do radiology and then neurology and rheumatology......it all kind of links together in that way, at least for me 28 years ago is how it went....ortho to radiology to neurology and rheumatology and now today I can do it all........I especially love infectious dz, oncology, and I do not like OB/GYN nor eyes.
ortho help
I imagine it's pseudarthrosis .. not pseudOarthrosis.
W/C and Ortho
I have five years experience in both; work done is for the state of CA, although I do not live there. Every specialty has its own terminology, etc. It should not be too difficult a transition, but it could be challenging to make lines until you become familiar with it.
Ortho
I've done ortho and acute care so far.
I like ortho the best, probably because I started out doing that. They have such a huge number of strangely-named signs and tests though that just slay me!
ER reports sound like they might be interesting. Seems like you'd hear it all doing those!
Ortho help
 
Due to account reassigment I am now going to be doing strictly orhto accounts.
I do have Instant Text and several Stedmans such as phrases but no specific specialty books.
I am wondering if the Ortho Word Book is something I should purchase?
I am also wondering about some the ABCZ products?
I welcome any suggestions.
Thanks!
ortho help
I have done ortho clinic in the past, just not 100% of the time.
I previously did multispcialty for many years which mostly consisted of family practice with an occational specialty thrown in to break the monotomy.
I would not say I am nervous about 100% ortho but I am "cautiously optimistic". Since it seems likeall I would be doing in the immediate future I was wondering if I should invest in the books etc.
Thanks for the input and offer to help.
Ortho
IMHO Ortho is the easiest of all unless it's urology. An ortho book mighth make it easier for you...like Stedman's. If you do ops think carpenter...hammer, screws, nails, etc. You can use the Stedman's Word Book to look up say "screw" or "Pin" or "nail" to get the specific name. I would highly recommend it. Good luck to ya.
I am looking for prn ortho work. Can anyone help me?
 
ortho work
what area?
OJT training (especially for ortho)
I think cardiology may get a little more complicated (or not) depending where you work. I think orthopedics is probably easy enough for you to pick up on the job considering your experience. I would try for OJT. Good luck!
