I have Stedman's Ortho and Rehab Words electronic on

• Just started ortho specialty... Does anyone - no any good references/sites?
  • I have Stedman's Ortho and Rehab Words electronic on - my computer. Best thing I've found
  • Gotta get the Stedman's Ortho & Rehab Words. Wheeless encylopedia is a good site to book - mark, too. nm

I type strictly ortho reports and that book has helped tremendously!! They have other books for other specialties too. They are worth every penny! 

Which is the latest and best Stedman's electronic dictionary to get?

There's one on Amazon for 44.98 that includes a book and a CD-ROM.

Then, there's one on the Stedman site for 99.95, but it's only a CD-ROM.

Which of these (or another?) is the best one to get?

I find the Electronic version is great as well.  I still like my book but find that the Electronic version is great to have on my laptop for travelling and ease of use.

Here is a link to it from Stedman's   http://www.stedmans.com/product.cfm/470/239.

do you have?  If it is the medical dictionary, as far as I know it is only a reference software and can't be used as a spell checker.

If you have the spell checker, go into Word.  Click on Tools, Options, and then Spelling & Grammar tab.  Then click on the Custom Dictionaries button about half way down the window.  This will open a new window that lists your available dictionaries and one should be checked.  Mine is checked next CUSTOM.DIC (DEFAULT).  There is an ADD button to the right.  If you click it, you will be able to browse for your custom dictionary. 

Hope that helps.

Have this as one of my bookmarks - found this handy whilst handling rehab work. Hope this helps!

I currently have all of my word books, drug books, and dictionaries on my computer.  About the only book that I may ever need that I don't have on my disk is *One-Word, Two-Words, or Hyphenated?* and my anatomy book, but there are some great websites out there, in addition to Google, that can supplement this when I'm away from home.

One of the last places I went to where I actually had to take work with me was Las Vegas.  We had a BEAUTIFUL view of the strip, so I just turned the hotel desk sideways so that it was up against the over-sized windows and I just typed away!!!  I would rather have been ON the strip, but the view while I was working was definitely different than the trees-and-mailbox view that I get at home!!

I just took my laptop, external ergonomic keyboard and mouse, foot pedal, and headphones.  I had to pack the keyboard in my suitcase and pray that it wasn't crushed, but everything else fit nicely in my laptop bag as a carry-on.  I think the high-speed connection at the hotel was around $20/day, but I had no connectivity problems with it.

A lady I used to know traveled full-time with her retired husband and so she had a new *view* every week!  She had a satellite connection hooked up to her RV and so she would work on the road.  I actually think I might postpone my own retirement just so I can have the experience of working in a different state every week!!

When I go to the doctor, he types my visit into the electronic medical record himself as he is speaking with me.  I guess it saves them time on dictating the report .

I always say I will train for something else but it costs to go to school.  I have been in school forever, off a semester, on a semester.  I just hope I can get re-trained before everyone switches to EMR.

I imagine it's pseudarthrosis .. not pseudOarthrosis. 

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!

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.
