I have Stedman's Ortho and Rehab Words electronic on
x
Not a site, but Stedman's Ophthalmology Words is a keeper! :) nm
s
Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words is invaluable. nm
.
Stedman's Ortho and Rehab words. You'll keep researching screws & pins as long as you do
s
Gotta get the Stedman's Ortho & Rehab Words. Wheeless encylopedia is a good site to book
s
Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most
s
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 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!
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?

Wheeless Orthopedic Textbook - Link Inside
Wheeless Textbook of Orthopedics - online - link below. I find this to be a priceless site. Good luck
http://www.wheelessonline.com/
I am looking for some good basic orthopedic sites -- Any ideas?

Geez, orthopedic surgery is boring and tedious.
nm
You'll need a lab words book and maybe the Derm and Immunology Words..nm
s
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.
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm
s
Stedman's is the best IMO. I don't know if they
limit your installations or not. I know on the new electronic word books they limit you to 2 installations and that it doesn't work if you copy it from one computer to another, it has to be installed from the original.
I should add, if you have Stedman's
If you have an updated Stedman's spellcheck, it will flag the drug if you type it incorrectly and the top suggestion is usually the correct way of typing out the drug name.
stedman's
They do offer you a 30 day trial. After that, it is $38.95/year. Which isn't bad, but I don't want to pay for the service if they don't change the reports. Definitely check it out!
Stedman's
I love anything Stedman's myself. I have Smartype and love it after about a year. I figure it's cut my Keystrokes by 1/3 to 1/2. It wasn't compatible with Word 2003, when I bought it, but that didn't matter to me since my company requires 2001.
Stedman's
Thanks to you both. I searched program files and there is a Stedman's folder that came up, nothing really in it except for maybe what looks like an uninstall file? In Word, custom dictionary is checked but I don't see anything about Stedman's anywhere in there. Anyway, I tried typing a little and it looks like it's picking up drug names etc. so guess it's working. I just thought I'd be able to pull up the program from my Start menu for some reason. I guess it just kind of stays hidden in the Word background somehow? Anyway, thanks for the help. I know it sounds really dense, but haven't had to use it before for work!

Here's some ortho reports http://www.mt-stuff.com/orthopedics.html
Stedman's Ortho & Rehab words is a great reference and includes sample ortho reports in the appendix http://www.stedmans.com/product.cfm/477/79
Well, I use Stedman's (sm)
Endocrinology book and Opthalmology book. Relatively small books, compared to the Neuro book, for example, but they are very helpful. Think I bought them used through an Amazon.com bookseller. Make sure you get the latest versions.
Hope this helps.
Is it Stedman's? nm

Stedman's.
Does anyone know how to get Stedman's
spellchecker to work in WordPerfect too. Thanks for any help.
Stedman's has it set-up where you have
to have the disk. You can't copy from one computer to the next, it must be installed. You can buy it for $99 I think and download it from Stedman's site . They don't like people reselling the disks either, so you can only get 2 installs before the disk won't work, though sometimes you can call them and they may give you another download.
Stedman's
I have Stedman's Spellchecker Plus '08 on my Word 2007. I got it from Barnes and Noble for $71, but that was with my member discount and a 20% off coupon. If you have any coupons for them, I would use them for this purpose. Their member discounts are good too.
Hope this helps you.
Stedman's
When you go into your Stedman's tool bar, you'll see options for modifying a Smartword spelling, Modifying a position, etc. I've moved some words that were programmed to come up 8 or 9 in the selection bar to be either the one that comes up on the Smart Line or #1 or #2 in the selection list. The instructions are fairly easy.
For instance "undergoing" was way down at the bottom of the list, so I moved that one up closer to the top. I made "complains" the first option rather than "complain" since I use that word more. That way all I have to do is hit the space bar and keep going,
Does any of that makes sense? My sleep pattern is all messed up, so I"m not sure if I'm entirely coherent right now.
Yes, Stedman's it is, also for me!...
The electronic version!
Also Stedman's Abbreviations and Acronyms...
If you're looking for Stedman's books - sm
Check out the equiptment forum - I have a set of 21, practically brand new books for sale.
Stedman's 4th edition is even better...
than the 3rd. It's true there may not be every single radiology term in Stedman's, but I don't know of ANY reference, text or electronic, that has every know term. For any book on ANY specialty to have every conceivable term is impossible - unless we want books 10 feet thick.
I know you cant use stedman's program
I use Shorthand as it works with just about everything.
Disappointed with Stedman's
If you mean the big purple "Medical Terms and Phrases" by Stedman's, I'd go with the other one.
I bought this and am rather disappointed with it and have not found it to be helpful on the job.
Stedman's @Work
Has anyone suscribed to this? I noticed they have an abundant amount of sample reports, but I am only considering suscribing if they add new reports on a regular basis. If anyone has info on this, I would love to hear it!
Stedman download sm
It is very simple and they remind you each day you have X days left, 10 in all. They don't list a price but I am told it is $179, don't know. Works very well but they should post their prices.
I use Stedman's as well as the Internet. nm

I do ops primarily and can't do without my Stedman's sm
Med/Surg Equipment Words. Sometimes, though rarely, I'll need to refer to my Surgery Words book for body parts. (I have 30+ years' experience.)
Stedman's Spellchecker
I know this is probably a silly question, but..I loaded Stedman's Spellchecker on my computer awhile back but have never used it. Today I was looking for it on my computer and can't find it. Should it come up under program files on your computer? or does it just combine with spellchecker in Word somehow and not show up on its own as a program? I thought maybe someone here who uses it could point me in the right direction. Is there some way you can make adjustments to it or is just part of Word after you load it? Thanks much for any help!!
Do a search for Stedman's (sm)
there should be a stedman's folder and your spellcheck should be in there. Hope this helps.
Don't know of website, but Stedman's
GI/GU word book may be helpful. Endo notes are very easy. You could probably Google and find something.
stedman's editions
is it worth buying the latest 2004 stedman edition vs. a 2002 edition. I debating on getting one for the GI and GU book. Wondering if a nephrology transcription can let me know if there's such a difference among the two. Thanks
stedman edition
u dont know how much i appreciated this bit of orientation. I just started my first oficial transcription job at a nephrologist office. I'm so proud of myself after trying in within two years to KICK my foot in the door. This week has been tough but I'm learning and quickly catching on. I just cant wait till I can effortlessly fly through my reports. Thanks for the advise. I will purchase my book through ebay tonight.
thank you again,
rookie
