Does anyone have any websites they can share with me on HIV/AIDS medications? They are so hard to find. My C-drive crashed, and I lost information; had to get a new computer. Thanks,

Good drug book vs. internet drug sites
I need to buy a new drug book. At a prior job, about a year ago, one of the supervisors told me she used the internet exclusively. What's the consensus and if you prefer the internet, which site or sites do you like. Thanks in advance.

It's not just *gay* people that have HIV/AIDS
LOL, so where do you get your hearing aids?
WHAT?! My hearings got AIDS?!
That kinda is what my conversations with my dear old dad sounds like. I'll say something and he will COMPLETELY twist it around because he can't hear for nuthin' and refuses to wear his hearing aids!
It is amazing though that we're not all insane piles of goo just babbling and drooling by the end of some of our shifts.
hearing aids
If anyone that has hearing problems or uses hearing aids sees this, please reply. and let us know how you have managed. I have been told by a salesman of hearing aids that I have 30 - 35% loss of hearing,of course he works on commission and probably was counting $$ which the one he recommended was about $5000. so far work has been doable but don't know how long it will be that way, I work in office for doctor who chews, mumbles and yawns which doesn't make it any easier.
Hearing Aids - Can you be still a transcriptionist?
Anyone know if being a transcriptonist and wearing hearing aids are compatible? Thank you.
transcribing and hearing aids
My daughter wears hearing aids and tried to just listen to some transcription years ago to see if it was possible - for her it was not - she tried multiple headsets and just could not hear without the background noise, etc. She wears a very expensive, computer-correctable hearing aid (2) that can be changed with a change in the chip as her hearing changes - but as for transcribing - for her it wouldn't work. Good luck for those who are able to wear them and also work.
You might throw some visual aids in there too.

Any MTs out there who wear hearing aids sm
I posted awhile back in January about needing hearing aids. I was diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss back then and was sent for an MRI, which was clean. I was told the next step would be hearing aids.
I had been having a lot of blanks through work and let the company I am an IC with know what was going on. I received an e-mail today telling me not to turn in more work until they have a copy of my hearing test. I am not sure what that means.
Honestly, with the amount of blanks I have had, they could have let me go for not hitting whatever percentage of accuracy required.
Anyway, I am just looking to see if anyone else out there has had to get hearing aids and what type they use that works best with being an MT.
Thanks for your help!
Oncology and some specialty AIDS facilities can be TOUGH.
nm
in fact I wear bilateral aids... some is familial loss; SM
but have to wonder how much is related to 25 years of headset use as well
Mine say "Thergonomic hand aids". I bought them at Hobby Lobby sm
because I can't find Hand-Eze at my local OfficeMax (live in a small town) any more. These are fingerless gloves made of something like spandex.
I don't know about a website, but Hobby Lobby is a craft store.
I can't type comfortably any more without them - kind of like being uncomfortable in a car without a seatbelt.
I don't use any websites--
I use Stedman's Radiology Words 3rd ed.and it has just about any word you'll need.
some websites for you :)

Is there any websites
that show over the counter medicine names and homeopathic medical names out there. Have searched some and found some, but would really like a complete listing if possible.
Thanks
Websites?
Could you possibly recommend some websites? Or maybe books? Any help much appreciated.
Anybody know of any websites sm
for reference material for Cardiology? I do strictly cardiology right now and lots and lots of cardiac caths, TEEs, Echos, Holters, PTCAs, etc. Would be nice to have a website with just cardiology stuff.
I do that with the hospital websites, too.
But I'm lazy. I'd rather keep a browser window open or save the list to text format and use the search feature than print it out, find my notebook, and hunt through a hardcopy.
Always go to the manufacturer's websites and use it they way they have it!
It is DERMABOND - all caps. The Stedman's books are incorrect.
I know for a fact, as I even called the manufacturer on the telephone to clarify. I was so annoyed because my QA person just kept changing it to lower case - until now of course when I cleared that up.
What are some helpful websites?
I have found some very helpful websites by browsing the boards here. Just wondering if some of you may have favorites you use.
My most helpful for finding bacteria is listed below.

Great websites (sm)
Thanks for those websites. Out of necessity, I am able to do pretty well with my grocery bill. I checked the sites you listed and there is some great information--I learned a few tricks! Speaking from experience, it doesn't get any easier when you are in a bind. I've lived this way for a very long time since I am a single mom. Things just manage to work out and everything manages to last just as long as you need it. Thanks again for the tips.
You should research other websites because sm
Most of the information in the article doesn't coincide with any of the Biblical principles followed by the Christian churches in America today. Throughout the entire Bible, old and NT, we are taught to refrain from witchcraft, mediums, those who speak to the dead, or any kind of honoring of the dead. Christians are only to pay homage to God through Jesus Christ.
You can check out these websites...

Or you could always call around to local offices to find out what they charge. Good luck.
Try manufacturers' websites
I have the newest Stedman's CV book, but things change so fast in this field that even it is behind. Sometimes I find it easier to check manufacturers' websites for a listing of their newest products and then I bookmark it. Here are some companies to try: Medtronic, Guidant, Bard, Boehringer Mannhein Corporation, Boston Scientific Corporation, Cordis, Datascope, Kontron, Marquette Electronics Inc., and St. Jude Medical Co. These aren't just for catheters; they make pacemakers/AICDs, leads, guide wires, stents, balloon pumps, EKG machines, heart valves and the like. I know there are more, but this is what came to mind on the fly. If you have Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words, they have a listing in the back of medical manufacturers and their web addresses if you'd like to do more looking around.
Physician Websites
Here are a couple good ones:

www.doctorpricing.com
More helpful Websites
I ran across this website and hope that it might some out there.

MT chats? websites for?
Hi, are there any medical Transcriptionist chat rooms? the board is fun, I just want to chat live.
Any ESL websites or resources?
I was wondering if anyone here knew of any good websites (or other resource) where I could listen to dictators/speakers who have accents? I am not really crazy about that idea, but want to try to better learn them so that I can do my job better when I get ESLs or even striking regional accents around the US. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you in advance.
You can't always trust websites. I have
googled something and have 3 or 4 spellings come up, therefore having to do more research. Books are your best get.
Try the company websites
A lot of the companies will advertise on their web sites the range of prices that they offer clients. That may be a good place to start.
Go on the websites and search them
Some of them still have XP available. Another poster said they though Dell still gives you this option. I know for a fact that they do but you must factor in that they most likely will be downgrading a Vista computer to XP for you and so it may take a little longer to get it shipped, so I hope you don't need it in a hurry.
Whatever it is that you are doing, I would suggest you do it soon. I just did a bunch of computer shopping myself, and have been told numerous times that XP is on its way out around July this year in prep for the new Windows 7 platform.
I hope all these companies have decided what they are going to do with that situation. I know my company ran on Windows 98 until Microsoft wouldn't support it anymore, and then the new platform they had come out was compatible with XP. I hope they will make them compatible with newer OS because choices are going to become limited really soon.
You might call the tech people at the company and see what they have to say. Will your platform work with Vista at all? I have a platform that will, but only with the 32-bit version and not the 64-bit version. And, let me just tell you, that is a real headache to find.
I wish you the best of luck on this. I know exactly what you are going through because I was just there.
go to HP or Dell websites - sm
I bought a laptop last summer. these two still sell computers with XP and a licence for Vista to do the cross-over.
Call the 800 lines and ask quesitons.
I manage my former boss's websites (he has 2), --
other than that, sell some stuff I don't need anymore on ebay now and then...did about $200 a month for about a year.....got rid of most everything though I really wanted to dump...have a few things now I need to list so maybe I will get lucky this month!
Two awesome reference websites.....sm
Tons of info and links.

I found some interesting websites the other day.
The Offshoring List of Shame

The Offshore Job tracker listing the worst offenders for offshoring in 2004-2005.

Rural Sourcing (uses rural Americans for labor)
http://www.ruralsource.com/index.asp?pageToInclude=index
We have a local call center in our city and they ran an ad to hire home-based call center workers. That's cool, instead of offshoring.
I already closed the credit cards, canceled my insurance policy, and rewrote my mortgage with a local bank. It's just tough to boycott all of them. The list of companies that offshore is huge!
People say we need a global economy, but what jobs are going to be left for American workers after everything goes overseas? We can't all be CEOs or doctors.
MTStars/Legal websites?
Hi, does anyone know of a similar website to MTstars (with forums and job board) for legal transcription? Google didn't really help. Thanks. javascript:editor_insertHTML('text',' ');
javascript:editor_insertHTML('text','');
The local hospitals probably have websites and you
can see if they have any transcription openings posted, look in the classifieds to see if any clinics are hiring, etc. I don't know that there are very many MT companies with in-house people anymore, but you can post resume on the various job boards.
Yes. Leave discussion of other websites off this one, please. (NM)

Operative Note websites
Hi everyone, I was wondering if anyone knew of any good websites for medical equipment and/or websites to help with Op notes. Much appreciated!!
Websites to search for doctors
I'm looking for some good websites that I can use to look up a doctor's name. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
Personal transcription websites
Does anyone out there have a personal website dedicated to medical transcription? If so, and you don't mind me looking at them, please send me your web address. I'm thinking about making a webpage for myself, and would like to see what is out there already. Thanks!
Need some physical therapy websites
Just got a call for transcription for 2 physical medicine doctors and 5 physical therapist and they want me there tomorrow. I'm looking for some websites for terminology/word list/samples that I can review. Thanks. Wish me luck. This is a temp to hire position both onsite and at home. Sounds good to me.
Look at your local hospital's websites
jobs open. The reason you don't see them advertised is a lot of hospitals outsource all their dictation. But some still have in-house (or at home) MTs.
Anyone have any good websites for OB/GYN, ER, & dermatology? Thanks! nm

It searches specific websites.
That's what makes it different and useful.
I've used Hand-Eze and Thergonomic Hand Aids. sm
They help with the carpal tunnel and keep hands warm for me. They cover the hand and wrist but leave the fingers free. I wear them inside out, though, because the seams rub on the skin too much for me. I've gotten so used to them, that it is more comfortable wearing them while typing than typing with nothing on.
