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

do you have?  If it is the medical dictionary, as far as I know it is only a reference software and can't be used as a spell checker.

If you have the spell checker, go into Word.  Click on Tools, Options, and then Spelling & Grammar tab.  Then click on the Custom Dictionaries button about half way down the window.  This will open a new window that lists your available dictionaries and one should be checked.  Mine is checked next CUSTOM.DIC (DEFAULT).  There is an ADD button to the right.  If you click it, you will be able to browse for your custom dictionary. 

Hope that helps.

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!

Have this as one of my bookmarks - found this handy whilst handling rehab work. Hope this helps!

I imagine it's pseudarthrosis .. not pseudOarthrosis. 

Due to account reassigment I am now going to be doing strictly orhto accounts.

I do have Instant Text and several Stedmans such as phrases but no specific specialty books.  

I am wondering if the Ortho Word Book is something I should purchase?

I am also wondering about some the ABCZ products?

I welcome any suggestions.

Thanks!

I have done ortho clinic in the past, just not 100% of the time.

I previously did multispcialty for many years which mostly consisted of family practice with an occational specialty thrown in to break the monotomy.

I would not say I am nervous about 100% ortho but I am "cautiously optimistic". Since it seems likeall I would be doing in the immediate future I was wondering if I should invest in the books etc.

Thanks for the input and offer to help.
