Yes, it is. Check Google.

I check no fewer than 5 websites or 5 google searches
often I go further than that, but I've been doing this a long time and get stumped a heckava lot less than I used to.

I basically search at least 5 different ways and check at least 5 websites before giving up. That's presumably after I've checked my own word books, of course.

OK, I misunderstood. Didn't know there was another way. I'll check out Google Desktop. Thanks.

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

Check at a local nursery/garden center for varieties that are bred for your area, then check online

Check the connections from where the cable originates to wear it comes into the house. Also check t
had a similar issue with TWC and they had done some upgrades and the modem I had was no longer compatible. The tech knew what the problem was the minute he saw the modem, only it took me about 3 months and threatening to cancel for them to get out here.

No brainer here. Stop payment on first check before you issue 2nd check.

I have had a check bounce over a boo-boo in the check book...NOT A DEADBEAT!!

DID you check with Social Security& does your son receive a check???

Go to SSA.gov and research the payee options. You may have to use the search engine, but your answer to this particular issue should be there.

I am disabled and while my kids were minors, I had to fill out a form each year on how I, as the payee spent each and every penny of the money they received. I don't see how his mother can justify how she spent his money for things that you normally would pay.

That said, he is getting Social Security right? Is your son receiving a dependent check? Under law, if a parent is disabled and has minor children, each and every one of those children also receive a check until they turn 18 or graduate from high school, which ever comes first.

The check is a percentage of your husbands, so for 800.00, your son should receive at least 350.00. If you have not been getting this, they would pro-rate it back to when your husbands disability started and that in itself, could solve a lot of your financial problems. You can also find this out on their website, HTH

no - don't check out wildblue. check out hughesnet. sm
i was on wildblue. i absolutely HATED it. i paid $400 for install and equipment and bill was $51.51 a month for smallest plan. no bills, had to be direct debit from credit card or bank. wasn't a lot faster than dial up and i frequently went over my download limit so i had to upgrade to the $80/mo plan. speed was no faster on their "fastest plan". they had a 1-yr contract and only 1-yr warranty. well 20 days (kid you not) out of warranty my tria (the eye on the dish) went out and it cost me a total of $275 for replacement and tech call (had to wait a week and a half before tech could come and then he no showed and rescheduled for the next day stating he didn't have the equipment he needed to fix me and the repair order had been in for over a week by that time. no call to say he wasn't coming either, just no showed). they TRIED to sell me the entire package all over again to get me locked into another 1-yr contract and i declined. it was best in their book so your warranty and equipment would be "new". i had to tell them for 5 months to change which credit card to debit from, never could get it right. had to tell them for 3 months when my phone number changed. i could not wait until the day my 1-yr contract was over. have heard really good things about hughesnet. i think it is a tad more a month, but supposedly a lot faster than wildblue and not near as many problems from what i have heard from others. wildblue was down for an entire week at one point throughout the year i was on it. always got lost signals and page cannot be found multiple, multiple times throughout the day. i used wildblue with VPN (with transtech) and could not keep a connection enough to get a decent line count as i was dropping signals too much and it did slow it way down. i finally got clinic work rather than acute care where time and speed wasn't a factor. research message boards for complaints about wildblue and hughesnet before deciding. also hughesnet i think told me a 2-yr warranty rather than only the 1-yr with wildblue.

Check the classified board here and check
E-bay. Some companies will provide them for free or a small rental fee.

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.

I have been using Google Suggest to narrow down search results.

i like Lycos.com

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.

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.

Google MT
I've been using PogoFrog.com for quite a few months. It's designed for MDs and other allied health personnel. Don't know if any of you have tried it, but I really like it.

P. S. Google it! :) nm
......

Have you searched for these on google?

I don't think I'd try them.

Many places, google them
Ebay is probably the cheapest, that is where I got mine 8 years ago at $600, I am sure they have come down some since then.
