How old are your drug book and stedman's? (I bought mine about 6 years ago now). I hate to not be able to use them because I have added so much to them through the years. ugh.

Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in

Every program I bring up is Adobe. All my desktop icons were my IT icon.
But to bring one up, it was the Adobe Flashplayer. I have needed a PT job for two months and cannot apply as Vista is not compatible. Also, ExpressScribe is incompatible with Vista so I could not take the tests. OMG, I paid 1600.00 for this (my first laptop Dell 1330 XPS) on 2/19 and have already had to have a system recovery. Now, nothing will upload and I am told my hard drive has the Conficker virus embedded in it; I am waiting for a new hard drive as I type this.
This totally sucks. Vista has rendered my computer useless. Dell does not sell XP anymore and even if I could get XP, it would not work in this particular computer. Dell is being very unreasonable, stating that even though it has been just over 30 days, I am stuck with this Vista and just "deal with it."
I wanted this to be the last computer I ever bought. Now, it appears not to be true.
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.
my stedmans lab book lists
it as alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, both the older edition, and also the new edition
wow. I just got a Stedmans book for 1.79 on Amazon.
Brand new! I never thought to look on there for a book!
Stedmans Ortho book shows
both on pagge 455, plantar flexion and then plantarflexion injury, plantarflexion-inversion test. Maybe it is supposed to be by context ????
Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..
Does anyone use both. I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both. I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know.
I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions. I can handle that.
Which Rx Drug Book to use?
I'm looking for a Rx drug book that I can incorporate into my spellcheck or expander. I've looked at Stedman's Plus, QuickLook, and Saunder's Pharmaceutical Word Book. So far I'm leaning to Saunder's since it seems like it'll do what I want it to do plus I get downloadable updates. I'd hate to spend $100 on Stedman's only to find out it's nothing more than a dictionary, when I could've spent $30 on Saunder's.
If anyone has any advice about what program to buy, I'd greatly appreciate it!
drug book
Monthly Prescribing Reference is very good. One of our MD's carried a copy in his lab coat.
Drug Book
Go to Amazon.com and see if you can get the book cheaper. I always have good luck with them.
drug book
I went on the amazon.com web site. they have 2009 Quick Look Drug book for $28.76. I wish that I would have waited for this price.
Yes, our drug book tells us this

Quick Look Drug Book
The company I recently began working for asked me to purchase the Quick Look Drug Book as a reference tool, as they use it. So, I got one...bought it used online so it wasn't that expensive, and I was needing a new drug reference book anyway.
I am just not impressed with this book. While it does have very useful information in it, I find it is not laid out in the most convenient manner. The drugs are listed alphabetically by the generic name. So, what if the doc says the brand name of a drug? How am I to use this book to look up the spelling, etc. of a brand name drug if I don't know the generic name of the drug so I can find it??? I have hardly used this book at all since I got it....I still go online to look up meds. I feel like I wasted my money.
Maybe I'm just missing something here. If anyone has any insight please let me know. Or if any of you have a better suggestion for a drug guide that is laid out in a better format for MTs, I am open to suggestions.
TIA!!
Quick Look Drug Book CD
Can anyone tell me if they use the Quick Look Drug Book and CD? I am thinking about purchasing the 2006 set for about $80, the 2007 is not available yet
What about Saunders drug book on CD?
I have always preferred Saunders to Quick Look, and they have just released their first version on CD. Has anyone tried it yet? I'd like to get it.
Drug Reference Book
I love Drake & Drake Pharmaceutical Word Book.
quick look drug book
Hello-
Could you give me some advice on drug reference books? Do you recommend people wait for the quick look drug book '08? Or is there a site online to search for drug information?
I'm new here, and am still studying to be a MT, so I'd like a recommendation from someone who knows :)
I hope I'm not asking a question already asked 100 times...
Thanks!

Brand new drug book
I have always used the electronic drug references. The company I get them from has now combined everything into 1 icon and it takes forever to get anything to come up. It is easier to use Google for references than to mess with this anymore. I find myself using my old references just to save time and if it is not there, then I go to the "brand new drug reference" It is never up to date anyhow, so back to the net I go. And no, I don't think their requirement is reasonable. They want your brains and experience with no cash outlay on their end?
Need a good drug book
My friend and I need to buy a new up-to-date brand name and generic drug book. I need the opinion of some good ones to look at and maybe buy. Thanks
Quick Look Drug Book
I would highly recommend Quick Look Drug Book. It is the cheapest book I have found, and it is is the only one I have seen that lists the drugs in both alphabetical order as well as by indication/treatment. In my opinion, it is the drug book with the best format.
Electronic Drug Book 2003!
Does anyone know if the Quick Look Electronic Drug Book 2003 is compatible with XP? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
TIA
A used drug book is basically not worth much
in the long run - so many MTs waste their precious $$ on used resources. Particularly in the world of drugs/pharmacology, even a 1 year old drug reference is basically worthless. Unless you just want to be able to claim "you have one" for your company, its already long outdated. Best to buy the current editions, no matter if you can get a used one cheaper. You are defeating the entire purpose - having an up-to-date reference for your knowledge.
Drug book vs. CD version, which do you prefer and why? Thanks. nm

Quick Look Drug Book 2007 (sm)
CD version. Does anyone have this and like it? I have the 2005 version, and could not see much difference in the 2006 QLDB. Any comments appreciated.
I prefer QuickLook for a drug book or
either Drake and Drake. I don't know anything about Gregg's, but I think HPI are a waste of $$ and Stedman's is probably the most popular. There is also Dorland's, thought I don't know anything about those either.
Yes do check the classified board here, www.half.com, or e-bay. You should be able to get books for a fraction of new, especially if you get an older version.
What books you need will depend on the type of work you do. If you only do clinic work, just something like Sloane's Medical Word book might be all you need, in addition to a drug book. If you are just doing one specialist then a Stedman's book of that speciality would probably be all you need in addition to the drug book.
If you don't see what you need listed on the classified board here, post a wanted ad to see if you get any response.
Anybody Use Quick Look Drug Book 2007?
Do you like it? I just received mine yesterday. It does not put a link on the Word toolbar like the old one did. I called support and they downloaded a file for me to load and now it's on the toolbar, but now I get the message "QLDB.exe" not found.
I have uninstalled (like tech support said) and re-installed but still get the same message. 
I checked the CD and it does not seem to have this file on it. Does anyone else have this problem? My task bar is already full so I really need it on the Word toolbar. Thanks
Brand new drug book required
I am applying for a new job, and before I can start, they say I need a new specialty book (which I can understand) and the latest drug book. I don't have the money to buy those books right now.
As an MT with years of experience, I am perfectly capable for doing my job without a brand new drug book for a few weeks until I get paid. I know how to research and verify drugs without a current drug book.
Do you think requiring a brand new drug book is reasonable?
I haven't bought a drug book in 2 years - I use Google ...sm
and the FDA website. Both are faster than flipping through a book and free.
I have the 2006 edition. But the 2007 of this and the Quick Look Drug Book come out

Stedmans Med $ Surgical Equip words, Path and Lab words, and Tessiers Surgical Word book (3rd

As soon as you clicked on the message--sm
asking you if you wanted to save the changes, it wiped out everything previously done. If you had clicked no, it would have come back the way it was previously. What you did was hit Ctr + new, which brought up a blank page. You saved that, instead of the original. Sounds like it is gone, to me.
Has anyone clicked on that link and had....
their 'puter just completely meltdown and turn itself off? The first time I did it, I thought it was a fluke. Went back and tried the link again and IT DID IT AGAIN. Acts like a virus to me, but wanted someone else's input before I went jumping to conclusions. Darndest thing.

It couldn't be the emoticon. I got that from another site. Any ideas administrator, moderator? Are ya messin' with us?

I just went to the website and clicked on the link to download the newest version and it worked.
www.pcshorthand.com is the website. You can download a free trial of the software, but eventually you will have to buy a license. You can also pay a little extra and have them ship the actual software to you with an instruction manual.

I LOVE your little icon thingy!
As usual, I am contributing nothing to the conversation, but had to thank you for the smile.
Can you see the Icon in system tray..
next to your clock (right bottom corner)? Otherwise, you just installed it. Go to programs menu and run it first.
Yes, the icon is in the systems tray. nm

Icon in rt lower screen, by your clock....
Looks like a keyboard and screen, very tiny, set mouse over it and it should say safely remove hardware -- click on it, and it will tell you what peripherals need to be clicked on before removing it. If your peripheral is a USB and it has been installed before -- no, I don't turn my machine off UNLESS, I need to for it to be recognized -- I have an external hard drive that I have to do that with.
Hope this helps
