Gotta get the Stedman's Ortho & Rehab Words. Wheeless encylopedia is a good site to book

The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

Stedman's Orthopedic Words
Do you have Stedman's Orthopedic & Rehab Words? There 2 sample op notes for ORIF on pgs A126 and A127.
I have a Stedman's Ortho & Rehab book too
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 have Stedman's Ortho and Rehab Words electronic on

Get a Stedman's Ortho & Rehab word book, . . .
and you can check. Put them into your word Expander correctly (capped or not), and you won't have to try to remember which tests are and aren't capped. :)
Stedman's Ortho and Rehab words. You'll keep researching screws & pins as long as you do

My Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words book is the most worn out. Love it! nm
s
Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most
s
I have HPI Orthopedic/Neurology book (sm)
With that and google, I was able to pick up ortho in no time. It may sound daunting, but a lot of what they say is repetitive and 6 months to a year from now, you'll be wondering why you worried :)
Good luck!
My most worn Stedman's is the Ortho & Rehab.
The binding is totally beat and I actually have pages starting to fall out...second to that would be the Cardiology and Pulmonary words. Congratulations on your new gig!
Can't live w/o the Sted's Ortho&Rehab Words. Still use it often 12 years in! nm

Not the OP, but the Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is invaluable and should cover

Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words and QLDB for the drugs by

You'll need a lab words book and maybe the Derm and Immunology Words..nm

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.
Stedman's word book nm
Stedman's Cardio book says 1/6
or 2/6, etc., page 219
Stedman Surgery Book
Will post on equipment board, too. How would I obtain an overnight delivery of a surgical word book? I have done some orthopaedic clinic notes for about 6 months and PT for about 5-1/2 years, but am interviewing for an in-house position for an orthopaedic surgery group today, yep, today. Everyone tells me there will not be much I haven't heard already, but I'm not sure about that.

4th ed stedman's ortho book
is listed on ebay for 9.99, if anyone is interested. I have 100% positive feedback rating, so you can bid with confidence. "judymari"
Stedman's Equipment book, but there is new
equipment coming out all the time. I use the websites for the manufactures, Johnson & Johnson, U.S. Surgical, etc. I Google things like Ethicon and Mitek. Equipment is hard too because a lot of the times the whole word may be capitalized, or you think it should be 2 words and it is one word, with various parts capitalized.
When you have to look something up write it in a notebook if you don't have a reference book. When you have down time go to the various manufacturers websites and read about their products.
A LIST? You need a whole book. Try Stedman's. nm

Thanks. I have Stedman's Med Equip book-nm

Stedman's Word Book
I just started my first MT job about a month ago and I could not do without my Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words book. If in the future I get into something else I would definitely buy another one of these!
Also have Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book, a Stedman's Medical Dictionary and The AAMT Book of Style - all very useful.
Stedman's Radiology Book
has samples in the back of it too. Good luck. I love radiology and wish I could do it PRN at home.
There is a new Stedman's Radiology Words 2004...nm

I had the Stedman's Surg and Equip book
as well, and sold it after a month on E-Bay! There is just no comparison. I believe Stedman's surgical books are divided in 2 parts - naturally the one I had was never any use. The Surgical Word Book is HUGE, and it literally has everything and anything in it, alphabetically or categorically. When I first started MTing 20+ years ago, its all I used as well, and it was tiny then compared to now! It is so much more than surgical words - I mean it, it has nearly everything I ever need to look up. If I don't find it there, I go to Stedman's, and last resort google. Its so worth the investment!
Stedman's abbreviations, equipment book, a
drug book like Quick Look or Drake. I have almost all the Stedman's books. If you are doing multiple specialities I'd get as many references as you can afford. Stedman's frequently has discounts and/or free shipping and that is when I add to my library. I don't always get the newest versions, particularly if I don't use the original reference that much. I don't get a drug book every year, but about every other year.
There are lots of on-line sources, but not all are reliable and if you are like me sometimes you get on-line to look up a word and 30 minutes later you're still on-line.
If you only bought 1 stedman's word book, what would it be?
Just got a new job (!) and want to take advantage of discount books from my old job (!). Don't know what specialties I'll be working on, general acute care AFAIK. The only book I've ever owned is Dorland's dictionary. I'm leaning towards Medical and Surgical Equipment.... but would be really happy if anyone has any ideas for me, thanks!
And I may just Go Wild and buy two.

Have you tried Stedman's Neurology/Neurosurgery book? sm
I have a third edition(2003) I could sell you cheap ($20 including postage if you live in the continental US). The fourth edition (2006) is the latest. Just e-me if you're interested.
Not a site, but Stedman's Ophthalmology Words is a keeper! :) nm

you must own a pathology book. Go to stedman's and order online.
Surgical Word Book (Tessier, NOT Stedman's). nm

Stedman's has a plastic surgery reference book. If
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.
Stedman's M&S Equipment Word Book is my bible. nm

Stedman's phrase book vs. Medical Phrase Index? sm
I'm debating between the newest edition of the MPI versus the Stedman's phrase book. Have had experience with the MPI, but not the Stedman's one. Is Stedman's worth it?
Stedmans Med & Surgical Equip words and Tessiers Surgical Word Book (3rd Ed). I'd be lost
without them.
Stedman's Med Dictionary and Stedman's Med Spell checker are two different programs. Which on
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.
Orthopedic pointers
I will be starting a new job transcribing orthopedic clinic work. Although I have transcribed orthopedics throughout the years, but I'm a little worried about "new" or "up-to-date" ortho terminology. Could anyone direct me to some good ortho websites to use as references? I'm also thinking about going ahead and loading orthopedic terminology into my Shorthand program. I think I can get this from the productivity boards. Any other pointers to get jump start would be appreciated. Thanks!
re:Orthopedic pointers
I'm from the old school, so my recommendation is to acquire the latest Steadman's Orthopedic and Rehabilitation word book for a reference.
orthopedic exam
is it supine and prone gradients
Does anyone have a sample orthopedic narrative ..sm
letter that I could use as a guide? It is for a MVA with questions and answers pertaining to the accident. Thanks so much.
I don't capitalize orthopedic tests themselves, but if there's
I transcribe for orthopedic surgeon who utilizes EMR
He dictates notes such as if the patient is having out of hte ordinary symptoms to cover himself should the situation lead to a court room setting. But, yes, between EMR and voice recognition, I believe MTs will over time be less than necessary.
The cost is a major factor. Especially with the population aging like we are. Baby boomers will all be on SS at same time and if health care doesn't figure something out, there are predictions being made that are nightmarish, like the collapse of the health care system. This was said by a person (Dr. Andrew Weil) being interviewed by Larry King.
Do you capitalize orthopedic test names?
Is it correct to capitalize every orthopedic test, such as, Anterior Drawers Test, Alar Ligament Test, etc.
Thank you
I have only used Stedman's. What are some differences in Dorland's and Stedman's?
