Is there a way to do ''wildcard'' searches for medical terms on Google? nm

A good website to search for medical terms, equipment, and drugs.
A good site for word help.

What to do if Word does not recognize your added medical terms - after updates? nm

I would not; most of the time those type files, although not usually hard medical terms, take lots l
to type and are very difficult as it is hard to hear with background noise, different speakers, usually no macros, etc. I think they are worth more pay, not less. I also get paid by the word at 0.008 and had figured mine to be about 0.09/line as well in the past. stick with where you are.
Did a search on google and saw the ads.
I will make some phone calls today. I don't wear my rings and have no heirs so it seems like the thing to do.
Thank you both for responding.
Try this in your Google search.
Type it exactly as it appears below and you will find that you have hits for Amazon and Tiger Direct on the first page, either 2007 or 2003 version alone.

Had you done a google search, you would have...

Might be careful in the future clicking on anything without downloading to desktop first and checking for authenticity as well as virus problems or spam. Good luck!
If you do a google search you can
find some. When I left MQ, Cobra was going to be $900+ for me. I found insurance for less than $200 a month for me and the kids, just used it temporarily until I could qualify for it at my new job. There are some out there.
Found both on a Google Search
The reason I asked this is because the dictator spelled Tisseel, and I have always used Tisseal, and in doing a Google search, both of them are listed and both are used as tissue glue. Just wondered if there was a difference.

This is an interesting video about techniques for Google searching IF anyone needs help.
I have had problems with buffering on some of these sites (buffering...a few words...buffering ... a few words). I usually wait until it goes to the end and then hit play and it will play all the way through. There may be someone on here that can tell us how to do this part better! Any suggestions welcome!
You may have to copy and paste this...don't know. Hope this helps some of you. It helped me!

I don't see why you would have to reinstall anything after doing an upgrade either.

Google custom search for MTs
Hi y'all,
Came across this customized search engine for MTs. Thought I'd share it with all of you. I've used it and it does work for sure. Search results are more focused and relevant. Definitely better than the general Google search that throws up all kinds of irrelevant results sometimes. Link below.
You can do a google search for list
of dangerous abbreviations.
If you know the county that he was divorced in, do a google search
for that county's public records website. Where I live, I can access the county's public records via web and lookup by last name and first name and these are free searches as they are public records. If he had any prior record of domestic violence, it will show up there.
It's mentioned in a few journals on a Google search. nm

Something great-- Using Google-- set to use the automatic function of completing the search
For anyone like myself who never used the automatic completion function of Google, IT IS GREAT.
I just started using it, and when I typed in like the first 2 words of something I had never heard before, like say you were typing "sphincter of", then sphincter of Oddi would be one of the choices that Google would automatically bring up.
This is so great! What a time saver. Try it.
Someone with more tech expertise can maybe say how to set the settings so the Google automatic completion comes on. sometimes it would be there and sometimes not, but I downloaded some add-on for Firefox that makes it always there. It was the "Customize Google" add-on for Firefox.
So, if you are using Firefox (Mozilla) browser, go to the add-on page (Google it) and then download the "Customize Google" add-on and then set the settings. I think this was the most useful. There is a way to set it from Google, but it kept not working somehow, the settings would go away.
Other downloads I have used-- other Firefox add-ons that I found helpful: Adblock Plus. Google Toolbar for Firefox (different than Customize Google), and Auto Copy. -- Auto Copy will automatically put whatever you select on a Web sit onto your clipboard, so you can paste it right into the document.
Hope someone finds this all helpful. Thanks for all your gals' help over the years. I have learned a lot and got a lot of tips, and so wanted to post this.

Do google search for Switch Sound File Converter...
and follow instructions - VERY easy!
Blog about it on wordpress.com - it will show up in google/search engines. This really works.
Categorize each post with as many tags as you can type related to medical, any words you can think of that people would search for. Maybe someone with SEO experience can chime in here? :) :) :)
The categories show up as "tags" show up in search engines.
We need to blog-
Information about the issue.
A form letter peoople can print/sign/mail.
Contacts/Snail Mail of government officials where people can send the mail too.
We can also give information who they can contact at their local hosptial to find out if their records are going to India/Asia. Most people don't know to ask for the director of health information or operations manager.
Also ad the url to your blog to google:
http://www.google.com/addurl/
We could also link to one another blog's.
Is there someone willing to post a form letter? We could copy and paste it in our our blogs. My writing skills are not good enough yet. ;)
I'm not a Transcriptionist yet but I know about wordpress categories and google. This works!
Can anyone tell me of a good medical search engine? nm

Look up hyperhydrosis on some medical sites or Google it. nm

Actually, its not that good, try this one. Google it: Medical Transcription: What's in it for y

Another suggestion, google a specific state's dept. of medical or professional licensing.
I've got the Missouri Division for Professional Registration --> which you can look up MDs, DOs, RNs, PACs, LPNs, etc.
Kentucky has a board of medical licensure website with a search function. Indiana has a state professional licensing website.
In some states, like California and Texas, they separate the nurses and doctors, so there are two separate sites to search. If you have a nurse practitioner dictating, it's good to know.
I'm not at my own PC as I'm working in the office right now so I don't have access to all my different sites, so I'm trying to remember what all I have.
Let's see.... WebMD is a good one.
If I think of anymore, I'll post 'em!

A simple google search will give you your answer...I'd give you the answer,
but how would that help you learn to research on your own...and I'm in a rush to get to the next post.
Yep, google has it goin on... I really like the google earth...
Have you tried Google earth? You can type in any address, street, city, state, country, etc. and it will zoom in and show the area and then you can hit the + button and zoom right in and see the exact house, building, etc. that you are looking for.
Mainly Google; I google the known words in the phrase (sm)
That's my most frequent tactic if I don't find the word in my word books. I'll play with leaving certain words out and adding them in, in various combinations, to try to get a hit that has a word which sounds like my blank. If I get a hit, I'll Google WITH that word, and see what hits I get, and what their source is (i.e.,checking the sources out for reliability). When I say 5 sites or searches, I mean I don't often try more than 5 different combinations without a serious hit. If I get a hit, then I will spend a little more time checking that out before I give up.
If it's a drug name, I use RxList, or more frequently the Drugs.com website. Since they redid RxList, I haven't found one that has quite as good a wildcard search, but Drugs.com works okay most of the time.
If it's a place name (like when they give names of outlying outreach clinics and etc.) I'll use Mapquest and look up the city my hospital is in, then "pan out" and look at the outlying towns.
Hope that's what you're looking for. I do have bookmarks, but I find that even the ones I think I'll visit again, I waste more time doing that than with an intelligent google search. An example is the time I was looking for "banana bag." The only place I managed to find it with a degree of reliability was on a nurses' message board. I've found quite a bit sometimes on the various specialty message boards out there, but I think the quickest way to locate that is through a search engine rather than bookmarking each individual site and trying to figure out which ones to search for a particular term.
This is one of the terms...sm
...that seems to have changed. I always put "metacarpophalangeal" before, but almost every doc I transcribe for these days says, very clearly "metacarpal phalangeal." I put the hyphen in because the words should be connected and that is the only way I can do it without changing what the doctor says.
Your book may list "carpophalangeal" as a word, but I am a former x-ray tech and I can tell you that none of the carpal bones attach directly to the phalanges. There is a metacarpal between the carpal bones and the phalanges. If you will look at a hand x-ray, there is a good 2-3" or more (filled by the metacarpal) between the carpal bones and the proximal phalanx of each digit.
That's why you can't depend solely on "word books." If they don't have a definition, you cannot be sure they are correct.
There isn't really a need to take med terms now
I'm not sure there is a need to take med terms before starting MT school. It will be part of your course.
If you are thinking that it will help you decide if you'd like MT, it might not. MT isn't med terms. Med terms is something that you need to know to do MT, but taking med terms might not tell you if you'll enjoy MT. Med terms classes at community colleges are often very boring, frustrating, and impossible. Students' grades are often unnecessarily low because a lot of schools use that class to weed out students who want to take nursing and health information management. They might use a book that isn't very good, too. You don't want that making you think you'll hate MT or that you don't have the ability for it.
When we teach it, we LIKE teaching it and we don't try to flunk people out with it. :)
Do you type really well? Without thinking? Or, at least, do you type 45 wpm without hating it?
Do you love to read? Do you consider yourself to be a good reader? Do you like to write? Do you read and/or write for pleasure?
Does medical stuff fascinate you? Do you enjoy watching medical science shows on TV? The ones with the operations? Do you enjoy reading medical websites and books?
Are you very, very detail oriented? Does your work, whatever it is, need to be just so? Have you always wanted to do the very best work for others?
Those things are better indicators of success in MT than a med terms class.
If you'd like to get a feel for MT, try typing up some practice reports. There are sample operative reports over on www.mtdesk.com. Type them over and over, noting the way they seem to be following style rules in the way they're done. You can also go to www.merck.com and type up some material from chapters of the Merck Manual for physicians. There is a manual there for lay people, too. If you enjoy reading it, that's a good sign.
You might have other reasons for wanting to take those classes that I don't know about, but I did want you to know that it's probably not necessary or useful to take med terms in advance!
I would buy new a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, Stedmans Medical and Surgical Equipment...SM
and Tessier's The Surgical Word Book, 3rd edition. Books you could buy used I would say would be Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine and Cardiology/Pulmonary word book. These are all the books I use the most during my day. You could buy other speciality word books as you need them and could probably go used with those.
I wouldn't bother with buying a drug book, new editions come out every year and I just stick to the FDA website and RXList as my drug references.
Also FYI, not a book, but I use my Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictationary a lot. It's easier to open the program than it is to pick up a huge 30-pound dictionary.

surgical terms
Why don't you invest in ref. books? Trying to do this job without them is like trying to build a house without a hammer for goodness sake. I don't understand you people - always looking for top pay and taking the cheap way out to do your job without proper tools.
or in layman's terms
making sense out of nonsense that the doctor's dictate.
Here's one with a lot of terms/glossaries.

I have put this on my favorites and will check it out further.....I appreciate your response:)
with what you are getting in terms of payment...
Then outsources like us are getting ripped off...
I barely make $5 for 8 hours.. you think that's fair. .. cause I sure *&%# don't.
You are confusing your terms.
Software is the computer interface that allows you to perform a certain task, in this case, FTP software allows your computer to connect to an FTP site. If you're looking for an FTP site that is secure, you will more than likely have to pay for it. You can try www.ftptogo.com, although it is not free, it is a good site.
