Does anyone have a GOOD reference
Site for findings doctors in any state? I use the Dr - 411 and it's okay, but I would really love some input on any others that are really good.
Thanks!
Need a good podiatry reference
and I do not see one on the stedmans.com unless podiatry is rolled in with another specialty and I'm just missing it. Any recommendations?
Thanks bunches and happy MT week!
a good reference site
docboard.org is a great site as well. Search by name, state, gives address, speciality, etc.
Need good reference/webiste suggestions
I am brand new to this speciality and I am actually really liking it... but I am having trouble finding certain equipment... I was wondering if any of you have any favorite books or websites that have hard to find surgical tools/equipment?
I saw that Stedman's has one out--is that any good?
Thanks for any info!! 
Looking for a good lab test reference site...
.. can anyone suggest some? I'm looking for something that lists all lab tests and their normal ranges... also a description of what each test is done for would be nice, but not necessary.
TIA!
Does anyone know of any good reference sites for PT notes?
Tessier is not a very good reference book. I have one but
haven't used it in years. I would suggest getting a Stedman's. I believe they just had a new one come out either this year or last year. There is new equipment all the time, so an updated book would save you lots of time from searching on-line.
Need good internet reference for doctors
The several places I have stored for some reason gone out of the business. Need to look up these names when not spelled which is almost never. Thanks.
Good reference site for drugs and various others -
MT911.com
Reference for Op reports, anyone know of any good online ones??
Having a tough time with Ops - does anyone know of some good reference sites to refer to?
Yep, a good MTSO will get rid of the crappy doctor, not the good MT...sm
unfortunately, there aren't many MTSOs out there who will confront a poor dictator and nip it in the bud to begin with.
In the old days we used to do this all the time. A doctor was put on report and told to shape up and if he didn't he would either be charged more because they had to pay an MT more to do his lousy dictation, or he was always given the option to do his own reports if he wouldn't comply.
Believe it or not, almost every physician my former company did this to straightened up their act became good dictators and found that it was actually less stressful and less time consuming for them too!!
The MTSOs just don't have the guts to do this anymore... and they should. I can make more money on good dictators with a lower line rate than crappy dictators at a higher rate, and would rather have the better dictators and lower rate than the other... it's a win-win for both the MT and MTSO because the MT is making more money per hour and the MTSO gets to pay less for her MTs and make a better profit. I can't believe the MTSOs haven't figured this one out.
Just started podiatry, need good reference book.

Anybody know of any good sites for surgical term reference? nm

Can anyone recommend any good acute care reference books
I am thinking of changing from clinic to acute care transcription. Can anyone recommend any good reference books that I should have? TIA
Why would a doctor be such a good QA?
Even if this was a real post, the last person I would want editing my reports would be the darn doctors! The reason we need editing most of the time is because of their sorry dictation! They might know the medical terms, but they cannot spell, they cannot make complete sentences, they cannot use punctuation correctly!
Good Doctor Finder?
Anyone know of a good doctor lookup without the thing where you have to type in one of those codes before viewing.
I can't seem to find a good, fast doc search site.
Thanks!
Does anyone have any good doctor locator sites (sm)
I have AMA DoctorFinder and used to have DR411 but now they want $1699 to have a complete list. I need more sites to look up physicians If you have any and wouldn't mind sharing them, I for one would greatly appreciate it. TIA
Good place to search for doctor names?

You must live in Calif - finding a good old doctor is nearly impossible here.
It amazes me. But, it is true. The stories I have heard are heartbreaking.
I blame it on the cap they placed on malpractice suits. Doctors here are complacent. In my town, we go to Stanford or UCLA for serious illnesses. It is well worth the drive.
Call your doctor - this is not a doctor forum! nm

You know the difference between God and a doctor? God doesn't think he's a doctor. nm

In reference to rad pay below...
I do both basic 4 and radiology for a small hospital and get paid by the minute of dictation for all. Radiology is a third to half of the dictation I do a day. I am thinking about going to just radiology. Many of you have stated a per page or per report rate, but what is the average per line rate for radiology. Is it different from the basic four dictation rate?
There are only two radiologists at this hospital, both fairly easy to do except one is slow and one is fast, so fast, if I got paid per report, I would make four times what I make now per minute of dictation. The slow one is going to retire soon and I will be stuck with the fast one and a new doctor which I probably will not have a problem with unless he is fast too and I would be making less money.
Thanks for the reference SM
Interesting site! Unfortunately, it states that "today the period always goes within the quotes" so I can't use it as a reference, only as a "the way it used to be."
thanks for the reference nm

THIS is the best reference (sm)
Forget all those books -- they're out of date a year before they're published.
This site automatically indexes biomedical acronyms from Medline.
Try it and tell me whether you aren't ready to throw away all your outdated, useless references!
Reference
I'm a rad MT and have been for about 6 years. The ONLY book I have on my desk is Stedman's Radiology Words. I use it all the time.
I have a reference for you...
Check out About.com and go to the Frugal Living site. There are the vinegar pages that detail all the varied uses. One newsletter talked about a family re-occupying and cleaning up after Katrina and how vinegar saved their home and made it habitable again.
HTH.

Both! I can't do without some of my reference (sm)
that only come in book form and use those religiously, but if I could only buy one form, definitely CD!! Keep in mind, I don't use Stedman's Medical Dictionary CD much but do like their others. I use Dorlands CD that I got cheap and prefer it over the Stedman's CD. Love, love, love the Quick Look Drug Reference CD.
reference
I like drugs.com. You can look by the first letter of the drug.
I use Way in reference.

this is in reference to below...
extremely interesting reading...
from the link: http://www.medrecinst.com/News/News.php?article=1
While documents (transcribed and otherwise) will continue to be predominant in healthcare for some time to come, there is the beginning of a move away from story telling (sentences, paragraphs, reports), which results in documentation that requires searching for and pulling essential data, toward documenting the data directly, and then when documents are needed, using the data to populate consensus-designed templates. Though not initiated in response to this shift from a “documents then data” to a “data then documents” approach, the collaborative work being done by AHDI, AHIMA, and MTIA with HL7 to standardize the most common clinical documents12 will be especially helpful in facilitating the transformation of recorded data into standard formats for H&Ps, consultations, operative reports, etc
FUTURE REFERENCE
try www.fda.gov in the future, great help for all FDA approved meds
need some reference web pages?
 Hi all,
If you would like some web pages to add to your "favorites," feel free to visit my website at:

drug reference
I always use Drugs@FDA. I have it in my favorites: http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/
You can look up drug names by using as few as three letters. I find it's quick and efficient, and it's free, and because it's the FDA it's the latest info on drugs.
The reference I handle THE MOST - sm
is my Medical Phrase Index - I happen to use the 4th edition and I mean I use it often. It really comes in handy for mush-mouthed docs and ESL docs.
Reference books
I use my pharmaceutical word book most often, then Stedman GI/GU & Stedman Equipment. I have a used 2004 Pharmaceutical word book (Drake & Drake) if you would like it.
Prescribing Reference nm
.
Reference book
We use Radiology Imaging Words & Phrases by Health Professions Institute as one of our references - this is a great book and covers all modalities.
reference material
Hello,
I was wondering what reference materials would be the best to use while working out of my house. I have some, but I am getting a new job and I need more. Thanks so much for your time. Julie
What a great reference!!!!
xx
I would and have out of respect and to use as a reference, but...
I'm sure there are exceptions. I don't know your situation. Put yourself on the side of the MTSO and it sure would be nice to have two weeks to replace you.
Reference Books
Good reference books (and abbreviations book!) are a must also. I Google a lot, but I really verify with my BOS and my Stedman's reference books. Agree with other posters. Stedman's Medical Speller a definite must have for me.
NP Address Reference
http://www.healthcarehiring.com/cgi-bin/providers.cgi?state=TX
The link is for the State of Texas, but you can change to any state at the bottom. This includes all docs and NPs, including chiropractors. Hope this helps! Have a great day....
For future reference
eScription increased my time out value and that fixed it.
Reference books
I have many, many books, but use fewer and fewer of them as I find good internet sites - it is much faster for me to look up something on a website than to pull out the books all the time. I would say that I use my Dorlands and my Webster medical word books more than any others, though.
Question about reference?
Hello all!
I am interested in getting Stedman's but am unfamiliar with the various types so I am looking to you experienced folks for help! What is best, computer-based CD or an actual printed reference book?
Also, are there different Stedman's references available for either acute or clinic? I will be doing clinic work and, as you can tell, am new to the work-from-home scene.
Any advise or help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance, and sorry to be so CLUELESS!

new reference books
I am in need of reference books and looking at Stedmans Medical and SUrgical equipment book. I see the fifth edition is out, that must be the newest edition?
Also looking at Stedmans Ortho word book, fifth edition but dated 2005. Is this too old to consider purchasing? How do you know when a new edition will be coming out?
Thanks
reference to alien
if this is in response to my post about not calling illegal immigant "aliens." My point is that it is meant to add further insult. If the term "illegal" doesn't cover it, not sure what will - remember they are illegal as opposed to legal. Get it. And like I posted earlier, even the media has stopped using this term. It's nonsense.
reference books
When I look up a term in a reference book I use a highlighter pen to highlight the term in the book. Like Lucy said, the act of just doing something like writing it down or highlighting the term helps me remember it.
What are the must have reference books?
I'm wondering what the must have reference books would be to start out with. What are your faves?
drug reference
Another terrific site to look up drugs is "drugs.com" Hardly ever have anything I can't find any more due to their wonderful search engine
