Stedmans Med & Surgical Equip words and Tessiers Surgical Word Book (3rd Ed). I'd be lost
without them.
Stedmans Med $ Surgical Equip words, Path and Lab words, and Tessiers Surgical Word book (3rd
edition). I never buy drug books anymore. Waist of money in my opinion. New drugs come out so often, it's best to use the web.
Since you have recently become an advocate for these "well-educated" professionals....
please justify the 20 minutes I had to sit and listen through all because the doc left his hand held recorder on. I actually had to sit there and listen to him urinate AND defecate! Immediately after hearing the toilet flush, I could hear the door open and then several footsteps that led him to meet, greet, and converse some more. I was more appalled at the fact that such a "well-educated" medical professional didn't care enough to wash his germ infested hands after his restroom break. Unbelievable.
Ghost crack maybe? Is he talking about a healed fracture?

what context?
Do you recall in what context the doctor used this word? I hear doctors swear at the computer when trying to look up labs and stuff. The only time I type and cuss words are when the doctor is quoting the patient like on a psych admit or something.
We've taken this all out of context ...
I emailed them and got a response.
I let this particular post influence me negatively and I apologize to the Admin.
They are not targetting specific companies. It is a new way to link popular keywords, not just company names, for easier research. The links provide access to ALL posts - positive and negative - about the companies and/or keyword subjects. They will be adding more to this list. It is just starting now.
I DO wish they had put a post or statement or banner up first stating they were making this change but it is their site and they can improve it in anyway they want...with or without informing everyone of the progress before, as, or even after it is being made.
u have read that out of context -
versus IC.....whether you have one client or 10 clients....the IRS doesn't care....been doing it this way for a decade....
My post wasn't clear so readers might have taken it out of context.
Have a nice day! 
Numbers in what context??
You don't spell out numbers (0-9) when used to delineate values, i.e., 2 sets of enzymes, 3 sutures, etc.
Spell out when used in sentence as following:
We placed 3 catheters, one in the XXX and two in the XXX; or He was the one who XXX.
Is that what you are referring to??
It depends on the context of the sentence, really. SM
It depends on whether he's saying further bleeding will affect a hysterectomy, or whether Dr. _____ will effect a hysterectomy if there is further bleeding.
It depends upon the context within the sentence. sm
A simple instance would be: The patient had clear-yellow urine. In another sentence: The patient's urine is clear yellow.
I hate no one, don't take my words out of context
I have every right to say what I like and don't like. You are taking up for her because of her posting good things for you yesterday. I responded because frankly you thought I was much younger, probably worked in this longer than you and yes, older than you. I can be anyway I darn well please about not liking to type ESLs. As far as that goes, cannot stand ebonics either. See, prissy, others are not youngsters posting here and know as much as you. I rest my case. If you love the dialect that much, I think others should move to the various countries they like.
Your ankle won't be healed in 3 weeks?? I have sprained my ankle before and usually a week tops
granted I don't know the "circumstances" but I really find it hard to believe you can still work (footpedal) but cannot drive in 3 weeks. If you are still in so much pain and on crutches then, then you have much more than a sprain.
No, as I said both times same context but qa'ed differently.
p
Got 3 from Susan Poe, same context. Please post website here
because the emails are being generated by these looney tunes from this board. If others have not seen it yet, they will.
I wasn't, honey. I'm not the OP. My point is she didn't include context
to tell which catheter out of 17 pages it might be, and most medical books don't cross-reference to other medical books.
surgical terms
Why don't you invest in ref. books? Trying to do this job without them is like trying to build a house without a hammer for goodness sake. I don't understand you people - always looking for top pay and taking the cheap way out to do your job without proper tools.
Surgical Transcription
Hello. A local surgery hosptial is hiring im my area. I've been transcribing psych and technical material for 6 years. Anyone know of good web sites for daily surgical transcription, what to expect in common surgeries and any resources for surgery brush up?
Thanks
Surgical account..
I am trying to get a local surgical account but my problem is they currenlty send their dictation overseas. However, they are having to pay their nurses extra to edit/correct them because the finished report is of very poor quality. Here are my questions....Does anyone know how the average of what companies pay for overseas transcription? I don't want to sell myself short but I also don't want to work for nothing. Do I have an advantage because I am local and will provide a "finished" correct report? I am getting a proposal ready and want to make sure I have covered everything. Thanks
Surgical accounts
I have two surgeons, surgical-oncology and I charge 0.12 cpl gross lines with pick up, print and deliver. I do about 10,000 to 12,000 lines per month. Very few procedures but lots of consults. H&P's and letters where I make my money. Can do close to 500 lines per hour with them.
Surgical margin
"if-nas-co" surgical margin negative for tumor. Pleural fibrovascular adhesion was mentioned just before that. Any thoughts as to what "if-nas-co" actually is?
The Surgical Word Book
is the best! I do almost exclusively OP notes and I couldn't do it without this book. Steadman's is also excellent, but if you get Steadmans you will have to get two books (Equipment Words and Surgery Words). The Surgical Word Book has both together in one book. 
Surgical nursing books.

If you mean the Surgical Word Book, it's the best! nm

IMO, yes. I would love to be a surgical tech.
No money for school, nobody to make the house payment while I'm in school (if I had money to go), etc., etc. I'll be toughing it out for 11 more years till the house is paid off.
Surgical removal of a baby????
I had that one yesterday and thought how strange to work delivery that way. If you ever work on Escription you will get a lot of laughs - it is voice recognition and I have had a ROS that said the man came in through the garage until the cat fell from the sky - have no idea what that was supposed to mean.
All different word books, surgical
A dictionary is not going to be near enough for acute care. You're going to come across many different instruments, techniques, procedures, etc.
The "particular" factor will relate to the client's specific instructions, i.e. expanding, not expanding, symbols, most likely BOS compliant, verbatim, etc.
I agree = cervical not surgical
I just use the surgical word book. There
are three pages of bandages in there.
Buy a Stedman's Medical and Surgical
Equipment Words book. One of the best references around.
The Surgical Word Book is the Bomb for me!
It has so much in it besides surgical stuff. I then use Quick Look Drug Book, Stedman's Dictionary, and Sloane's Med Word Book. I love books but Google as well - usually double reference. And, let me not forget, the BOS2

CONGRATS to D. Baker from Phoenix, AZ on winning the Surgical Compendium

The Surgical Word Book by Claudia Tessier (see message)
is set up like that. It is black with silver and GREEN lettering.
Love, love, LOVE this book! Good luck!
Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words is invaluable. nm
.
My extreme interest in all things medical/surgical keeps me loving it. nm
.
Also onelook.com as the Dorland's links right off there. Book would be Tessier's Surgical Word
s
Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in
nm
I would buy new a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, Stedmans Medical and Surgical Equipment...SM
and Tessier's The Surgical Word Book, 3rd edition. Books you could buy used I would say would be Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine and Cardiology/Pulmonary word book. These are all the books I use the most during my day. You could buy other speciality word books as you need them and could probably go used with those.
I wouldn't bother with buying a drug book, new editions come out every year and I just stick to the FDA website and RXList as my drug references.
Also FYI, not a book, but I use my Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictationary a lot. It's easier to open the program than it is to pick up a huge 30-pound dictionary.
