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!

I don't do radiology, but for oncology I highly recommend Stedman's Oncology Words. 

I am a new MT, I am in the process of purchasing MT reference books. I have heard that Greggs and Stedmans are good reference books. I wanted to find out the books that are used the most, please let me know which books that you use so I can make a good decision on how I spend this money on books.

Thank you in advance

Does anybody have one for sale or know where I can get one for a reasonable price? I've just started doing occasional notes for Prosthetics and I'm not having much luck finding reference materials.  I've checked Barnes and Noble and ebay and have Googled like crazy, but I really don't have $150.00 to spend on a good reference book, especially as I only do this account occasionally.

Thank you!

you are just going to be doing plastic surgery you might could get by with that and a drug book.  I use an electronic version of Quick Look and I like that, not sure how different the book might be, but either Quick Look or Drake & Drake are good drug books. 

The drug books are updated every year, though I only get a new one about every other year.  I believe the plastic surgery book has been updated within the past year, so should be a good resource.  You can check the classified board here and e-bay and you might be able to find books cheaper, just be sure you are getting the most current edition.  You can go to Stedman's website to verify current edition if needed. 

And I am a nut about getting things right.  And I had many many books.  Don't need them.  I got a Quick Book Drug Book and loaded it on my computer......and add to it when I need to add a new drug which is just about every day.  And I got a Steadman's Dictionary........same thing.  I add to it when I need to.  They are the foundation of a notebook to add words to.

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!

Scroll down to bottom and you can search by state. 

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!!

.. 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!

Before I started many moons ago, I got some reading material regarding starting a business, went and saw an accountant for a consultation, called IRS and talked with them so I knew what I needed prior to doing this.  Basically you need all recepits that pertain to your business that you use as a business write-off.  Check with your city to see if you need a business license.  But do some research and ask the "experts" as each one of is different and I don't want to give bad advice.  So spend some money and time researching it.

Looking for something that has muscular dystrophy, ALS, tests, antibodies all sorts of stuff.  I am currently typing for a neuromuscular clinic that deals with all sorts of things.  Would like a good book for references so I don't have to keep skipping screens to Google all the time.  Any suggestions?  Thanks in advance. 

The nationals started buying up the mom and pop MT businesses that started cropping up in most cities in the late-1980's and early 1990's. Most of these were small businesses with a few local doctor's office accounts and hospitals, had a guy who ran back and forth picking up and delivering tapes, and everyone got along fine for the most part aside from the expected competition between local companies. Then came Medquist, Transcend, etc. who swooped in and started scooping up these companies by the handful, and pretty soon we had what we have today. It happens. What started out as a good thing (computer networking) making us able to leave the offices and work from home, continued to evolve into what this business is today. Now it's taking off in another direction with voice rec and overseas MT's who work for peanuts. I've seen this business evolve from the IBM Selectric, a tape player, and a bottle of white-out to what it is today, and it's amazing what changes there have been in the last 27  years. Who would have known!

Does anyone know of any companies out there hiring for podiatry or orthopedics? Thanks

Email Sharon at:  Jobs@Transcriptionoutsourcing.com.  She has just acquired a brand new ortho account.  She is based in Milwaukee, I think, and hiring at-homers. 

I am looking for a podiatry account.  My daughter did podiatary for over five years and she is willing to help me with the terminology. 

Also, is there a universal foot pedal that works with most medical transcription accounts?  I have Spantel, but I am not sure if there are many accounts that use that program.

Thanks for any input and help.

A good site for podiatry would be
