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.
Medical Dictionary
Does anyone know if there is a place to download a free medical dictionary?

MT Mom
Hey thanks guys for the suggestions. I am going to be doing transcription at home for they physician I work for and am using Word perfect 12. It has a spell check on it but was looking for a medical spell check I could download and use along with a general spell check.
This is why every MT should own a medical dictionary. NM

I loaded Stedman's and it did not automatically load into my Word dictionary. Can anyone help me out?

Your QA needs to get a good medical dictionary. SM
I've been an MT for a long, long time and I have never heard of anything so ridiculous.
Do you have the medical dictionary or just the spellchecker? I'm
curious about the electronic dictionary. Thanks.
Stedman's Medical Dictionary
I want to move a custom Stedman's medical dictionary to another computer (the one the MT created). Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks !
what kind of medical dictionary CD .....
What kind of medical dictionary program do you have on your computer? I'm wanting to get one but not sure what's good. I usually buy Stedman's books. Thanks for any info.
Medical transcription to nursing career...
Hi all,
I have been a medical Transcriptionist for approximately 14 years, but my first love was nursing and for many reasons too numerous to mention, I did not pursue this passion. Now, I am given the opportunity to go back to school and with the uncertainty of this business (outsourcing overseas, etc.) I am seriously contemplating going back to school and getting into nursing.
I have seen on this board before where some have gone from nursing to transcription. Has anyone done the flip side to this and gone from transcription to nursing? Any and all thoughts would be appreciated, especially from those of you that may have done so.
And I am close to 40, am I too old to even be considering the challenges ahead of me?! 
need a good online medical dictionary
that I can use without having to download it because I'm not allowed to download anything and I can't intall my stedman's.
I received one with my dorland Medical Dictionary
And it has been a great help. lp
Stedman's medical dictionary software
Has anyone had any experience with the Stedman's medical dictionary software? I will be starting with a new company at home soon and I'm wondering about compatibility, etc. Any info would be appreciated! Thank you!
Do a Google search for free medical dictionary NM

Smartype and Stedman's Medical Dictionary are 2 different things.
The Smartype is a word Expander of all the medical terms, but the dictionary is the actual words with definitions. :)
Don't need a medical dictionary, but you should have the Stedman's spellchecker loaded. Can

same way in nursing - men in nursing make more on average than women in nursing and quickly
move into management. Just what we needed.
Have your medical dictionary handy while taking the multiple choice part of the test.(nm)

United Health Care medical insurance
 Well, I am about to use my vision coverage insurance for United Health Care. Eye Exam 2000 said they only covered 15-20% of the exam, 20% of cost of lens/glasses. I have never heard of such a low amount covered. I guess I have the wrong plan. Anyone else disappointed with United Health Care benefits besides me? I work for a large national.
Thanks. I guess I am hoping someone will tell me I am wrong and that 80% of the bill is covered. That this is all a mistake.

Everytime you re-load Word you need to re-load Stedmans medical spellchecker.

Gack! Is nursing your idea or his? Nursing is highly demanding and long hours.
I'd check with a college counselor/advisor on programs they have for women over 30 to return to academia and enter new careers. Then I'd ask to take some career tests to see what your interests are and what you'd be be suited for. Also, there is scholarship money available for women over 30. Ask about it.
Since I've already raised my kids, I'd also like to state that jr. high and high school are the years our kids need us at home the most. Those are the years they can get into the most trouble if left to themselves. If he's already 9, why not just enter college part-time to finish in about 6 to 7 years? But definitely go talk to a college counselor.

at least with the AA, prof will know they were not taken by little sister. sm
It will make a difference in presentation and the planning behind it.
Thanks for info on XP Prof.
thanks for the info, made copies and will email to my company. I was thinking the dual install sounded like a simplier install. I sure do have concern about losing the system, yes the CD would be there but all my stuff would not. I'm going to call BestBuy Geek Squad and see if they do that sort of thing. Thanks again for info

My daughter just started college and her Eng. Lit. prof. required all of the sm
students to get one. Luckily I had one by Sandisk (I think that's the name) that I use when I'm on vaco and bring some of my work files when I have to work on another computer. They are easy to use. They are cheaper now than they used to be even a year ago. I saw one that has a 1 gig on sale for $20 this week. So, even though your teen's teacher wants them to have one now, your teen may still be able to use it for college work later. They are so small but the one I have has a cord, so you can wear it around your neck, instead of it getting lost in the bottom of a back pack or purse. The part that plugs into the computer can be retracted back into its case, so there isn't another cover that you have to keep track of.
I don't know if this helps, but if they have to use for college, it might not be a bad investment.
Thanks...so much for Stedmans nm
I should have googled it. Thanks again.
Stedmans
in Word click on Tools when you fully expand this option it may list Stedmans here if not then Click Tools then options and spelling and grammar and Stedmans should be listed under your custom dictionary.
Feel free to email if you need more assistance.
Stedmans's
hi. Stedman's does run in the background. as long as your word dictionary is set to CUSTOM.DIC, it will be using it. There may be a folder in program files, and that is a good thing, in case you want to uninstall it. If you check your "add and remove programs" it may be listed in there, as well. as long as your medical words are not being underlined in red, you are fine.
I use Stedmans and
it works fine with Vista
Stedmans
Thanks for the links.
You can try Stedmans...

Stedmans CMT
Has anyone here purchased the Stedmans CD to ready for the CMT exam. I am thinking about purchasing and was looking for some feedback about that one or any others some of you have tried and found that worked for you. I understand the exam is very difficult and I really want to take it and pass it for that matter LOL. Any help and guidance is much appreciated.
about stedmans
Hello, I just went to Word 2007, which is very helpful but now I have no Stedman's. My Stedman's is very old. I was wondering if anyone knows where to get Stedman's O7 or 08 cheaper than 99.00.
Thanks so much. Have a wonderful holiday.

wp and stedmans
Go into your wordperfect and open the spellchecker. There should be a tab for user dictionaries. Open that and insert new dictionary. There should be 3 with the stedmans title. Use all three
stedmans or you can
or you can just run the disc again and download it into your wordperfect. It should ask you what program you want to put it in
stedmans
Yeah, I know, that's kinda what I'm thinking too. It's the only one I've used in all of my MT career, so kind of afraid to purchase something else. Thanks!
How did you get Stedmans SpellChecker to
Did you have to change some settings somewhere? Please give me the details because when I try to install it it just quits the install process. Thanks so much
Please help - Stedmans/WP 5.1 question...
I recently switched to a new computer (Windows XP) and for some reason I cannot get my Stedmans spellchecker to work. I use WP 5.1 dos and my Stedmans is version 6 for dos. In WP location of files, it shows Stedmans correctly but when I run spell check, some really ancient version shows up. Any ideas? Thanks.

I rarely use my Stedmans

Don't buy Stedmans Path/Lab CD!
I'm SO mad at Stedman's! I finally decided to go electronic and bought a med/surg equip CD and a path/lab CD. No problems with the former, but the latter will not work and disables MS Word! And I'm not the only one, as you can Google it on the internet and others are having the same problems. Somehow it interacts wrongly with different virus/spam protectors and will start throwing pages and pages of licensing cleanup alerts into your task manager, disabling your word processing. I called tech support last Friday and they said they'd get back to me. I called them back Tuesday and they said they still hadn't figured it out. I called them today, still nothing, so I got mad and returned the stupid CD for the book. Six days of "trying to figure it out"???? He had said before they could install an unlicensed copy since the licensing was the problem, but then days later said they couldn't figure it out.
They also send you an invoice saying your payment is due by X date (with the return envelope and the space to fill in how much you are paying of the total) when you've already paid by credit card. They also charged almost $20 shipping for 4 CDs that weigh a few ounces. I'm NOT happy!
Meditech and Stedmans
Does anyone use Meditech and Stedmans Medical/Pharmaceutical Spellchecker together? I just purchased Stedmans to use while typing in Meditech and now someone told me it would not work? I have not tried it yet though. I will keep Stedmans though to use in Word so no big money loss.
cmt reference stedmans sm
My main reason for wanting to purchase the Stedmans course is to get the feel of the test itself. This way I am not going in totally blind as to how the test is done. I have read the description online, but would really like to have an actual pre-type test to give me a feel for the platform. That is really what I am most worried about. That and grammar. I have a great accuracy rating, I am just worried about not passing and want to be as prepared as I can be. With that being said is the person out there who was offering the book for sale. I would like to know how much you would like for it. Thanks.
Need help with Stedmans speller
My Stedmans keeps not loading or something. It was working fine when I quit work Friday night. Then yesterday it would not work. I finally did a system restore and it worked after that fine. Then today, same thing, it will not work.
Can someone help me out with any suggestions?
Medical Transcription In The Era Of Electronic Medical Records
EMR has revolutionized the healthcare industry in recent times. Many experts felt that EMR & Voice Recognition would totally replace Medical Transcription - however; the industry soon realized that transcription has certain advantages over point & click charting and many physicians preferred to dictate notes rather than document the data at the point of care themselves.
my stedmans lab book lists
it as alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, both the older edition, and also the new edition
