It's Weck-cel. A word of caution about google....

It's only correct IF you spell the word correctly. It's always best to refer to a medical reference book, such as Stedman's, in cases like this.

just a word of caution...sm
Works Suite is totally different from Word 2003 and it is not compatible with many platforms. My sister had Works Suite preinstalled on the computer she had purchased and she was totally NOT able to view any Word documents with it. Just letting you know before you spend even the $18 on it. That's why it is so cheap.

Don't think techs will tip you off, but a word of caution - (sm)

Don't get scared needlessly if they want to "redo" any of the films. That happened to me once, and the tech left the film up on the board where I was waiting and I saw this huge spot of light and I was absolutely sick worrying about it until I heard from my doctor. It was normal, and several times since then they have have to "redo" some of the films. Try not to worry, and be glad that you have doctors who ARE cautious and speed things through.

Per Stedman's, Weck-cel sponge

caution on SPI (India)
From their website: SPI has India facilities.

http://www.spitech.com/SPIHealthcare/about.html

I would advise a little caution

First, send your grievances to your employer in writing. Give them a chance to rectify them. (Yes, I know you may already have done this, but there is a procedure for these things.)

Sever people have mentioned starting blogs. That would be a good place to share the answers everyone receives (if any) from the employers. THEN would be the time to talk strike, if the employers' response does not address the issues.

It's easy to get carried away with enthusiasm, but you don't what to shoot yourself in the foot.

Resumes "use caution" sm
i provided a little too much information in my resume to a company I did not know. That company had the "brass ones" to go after some of the accounts I used to service. I think one has to be very explicit as to what they have to offer, i.e., education, backgound (not too specific yet), willingness to test (that should tell them something)and not too much upfront or personal. I have a wonderful background and while testing online, I was thrown some curves by a company, such as showing me an anatomy chart with arrows pointing. What did they want? They were not clear, I could have answered in muscles, bones,tendons, areas of the body, etc., just blank black and white charts with arrows pointing at random is kind of irrelevant. Then before they let me finish the test, I received a message that I had "failed the test." These brainless idiots missed out and I really would not want any part of them anyway. I have received replies that I would "here" from others with the worst English language on the face of the earth in those replies. This testing stuff is for the birds. Either you know it or you don't -- you're not going to fake it to make it just to land a job with a company who tell you nothing about themselves but want to know everything about you. Beware of the wolves at your door! I've given my life to this field and now I want to work from home for someone like myself who gave their heart and soul to the business,and I will be willing to share my experience for the comfort of working from home. I will not work for some money-making jerks who don't care about the patients, just the almighty $$$. Too bad they only care about how they can "soak" their clients and kick good people to the curb.Too many inmantes are running the asylum. Be careful!

Word Board=Help Board. NOT a do the math = figure it out yourself=GOOGLE IT!

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.

Thank you, Google God. My google icon is

Microsoft Word.. The oold Word used to do this and I'm new to 2003 Word..nm

If the OP had done a google, she would have...
SEEN the answer to her question. People need to learn how to fish for themselves. Giving quick answers doesn't teach them a thing, and it certainly doesn't help them in the long run. I'm not trying to berate you for offering an answer, so please don't be offended. It is just that learning/knowing how to effectively research is a VERY important part of being an efficient and good MT.

google.com

Tia,

use www.google.com as a search engine (the best) type in exactly what you are looking for and see what you get- if you don't find exactly what you are looking for- keep searching but slightly change the search phrase.

I did google them and they are
still around $600. That is out of my price range right now. Maybe someday...

google map

yep, a totally new addiction. I entered my nephews addy and just realized he is only 3.5 miles from the White House! No wonder I kept seeing the Washington Monument every time we got on that nightmare highway system

Go look at your favorite amusement park like Cedar Point in Ohio...you can actually see the roller coasters in 3D!

Google? If Google, just go to google.com
and download their toolbar. They usually have several options! Happy Googling. If its goggling, I can't help you!

Google

Merry Christmas, everyone!

Could anyone explain the Google page to me? I mean the "Google" header with the cat and mouse. I usually enjoy their little embellishments for the different holidays, but I can't figure out what this is supposed to be.

I had to Google your
phrase, as I was not familiar with it. Now that I know, all I have to say is...'I resemble that remark'...

That is a Google ad.

Does anyone know of a site like Google that transcrptionists can use for researching. I have always used Google, but lately it seems to be getting slower and slower, plus they have a Pop-Up status on that is driving me crazy and can't get rid of.

TIA

Google "radiology terminology" and you will get some sites.

I've had the book Stedman's Radiology and Oncolocy Words for over a decade and it's my bible. There are newer editions. When in doubt in the middle of a report, I Google the word/phrase/drug I'm looking for if it isn't in Stedman's.

Good luck!

I found my current job with a small MTSO by a Google search for "medical transcription" followed by my state.

I went on google and put in--
complaint form sample and it came up with all kinds of things. some of them you pay for, others you don't. you just have to read and find what is right for you. good luck!

I use Google and mine seems fine.

Google.
I typed in Lanier LX-219-1 with VTI and got lots of hits. You should be able to find something.

Google it.

Have you tried to Google this?
I always check Google before posting questions like this on the board. I just checked it before posting this answer and there are lots of hits. Try looking at some of them and you may find the answer you're seeking here. Good luck.

did you google? NM

I think that's ok....also from google
Vibration sense was tested with a 128-Hz tuning fork. .... were left-right flipped to correspond to the other patients with left-sided anesthesia. ...

I also Google the name...just type in the doctors name, and then the state that they are in, and it usually brings up their address. I don't know if anyone posted this one or not, but here is the link to one that I use also...

If you don't know what a word means, a simple Google search will usually answer your question without making you look ignorant.

google it.

No, but Google has something...
like that. word document, spreadsheet. I think it's a great idea. It would be great to save ydocuments online, etc. I hope someone here will have tried it.

Google ads

The ads at the top are Google ads. They are used as revenue to help keep this site going. The site doesn't have any control over the content, however. Google has a spider mechanism that reads what is talked about on the site and it tailors the ads accordingly.

I had the same thing happen with a shout box I used on a free invision board. We would be having lovely conversations and then the ads would change to things that had words that we had been using or talking about. It's a little creepy.

Google Ads
Yes, this what they say Contextual Google Ads without any control of content by MTStars. I can bear these Ads for such a nice FREE board.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Contextual_advertising

Put her name in the Google box at
top and have it search MT Stars. Plenty of info.

you need to google it
and do research to see what it is.. looks like a Spyware or trojan or such.
