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

I actually bought it from somone on this board from the classified section who was getting out of transcription.  She sold me her fifth edition and I had either 3rd or 4th...and mine was absolutely beat--definitely my most used reference book.  She gave me a heck of a deal on that and that Surgical Equipment book...another lifesaver. 

So, if you're looking for books, buy from someone on here before buying new new! 

Also agree with one of those abbreviation books as well.  Another lifesaver if you've got an account where they want all abbreviations expanded or when you get to the final diagnosis part and you HAVE to expand them. 

I know I wrote it down twice off this site and cannot find it.  The ortho/neurology? book with the stripe on the cover?

Thanks in advance!

To wear black to a wedding is to imply that the marriage is doomed to fail or that you don't approve of the marriage.  You shouldn't wear white either as that's the bride's color.

Then again, what do I care?  Etiquette schmetiquette.  I never did like etiquette "rules" anyways.  Who makes up these things?  And why didn't I get contacted to vote on the rules?  It's after Labor Day, and I am still wearing my white shoes.  Silly Victorian traditions that make no sense at all.  As if we are somehow gauche or less of a person if we don't do what someone else tells us to do.

I found a keyboard that I liked and kept it until I was forced to trash it. Who needs letters anyway? 

The creature comforts aren't all they are cracked up to be.  The stress of maintaining them and the repeated and repeated phone calls to keep them in working order or to even get hooked up what you ordered and paid for is mind boggling and frankly I DON'T WANT THE STUPID PHONE ANYMORE, OK!

Or the cable, or the DSL,  I don't want the electricity or the plumber who does half the job and never shows up for the rest of the job------so that the drywall man can come and fix the holes left in the way left by the $19,000 plumber.

The car is due its tune up in order to keep the warranty in place, but I don't have time because I have to type (and there's nothing to type most of the time but I must sit there) and the kids have dental appointments I already have begged off for.

There are teacher conferences I have to HAVE TO mind you take part in and then the after school activities to oooh-ahhh over as a parent or my child won't think I love her.

My husband wants (xxx) and I'm too tired to even care - wake me when it's over.

On PBS today I heard a letter read by a resident woman of New Orleans of the conditions there.  Did you know there were indians living in TEE PEES there?  They had been brought in on the promise of work, but the work never materialized, but they were living in TeePees right here in River City. 

I find it strange that we can totally rebuild countries in 6 montsh hit by hurricanes and storms, and we can't get people a roof on their homes.  Only more plastic - make that half a plastic.  I wonder if our REBUILDING in these other countries is done as horribly as we are doing it here.

But back to me.  I long to live in the woods by the Interstate, under a lean-too and something to keep the snakes away from me when I sleep.  I have a little blue tin cup from the Wal-Mart to make my coffee over the campfire.  I'm ready.  I have already learned to eat COLD FOOD because I never have time to sit down at a cooked meal with my family.

I WANT OUT!
