I also like Tessier's surgical word book by Saunders and I'm pretty sure I have a Vera Pyle or two around here a well.

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. 
Good reference site for drugs and various others -

Quick Look Electronic Reference
is great. I don't particularly care for the book, but the electronic version is great. As far as a book, the Saunders is excellent. I have a used Saunders 2007 if you're interested.
How do you organize your information for quick reference?
So, if you work for a company, and have more than one hospital/account/client, how do you keep all of that information organized and easy to access, etc? Notebook, folders..? I

Anyone able to find Quick Look drug reference 2006
If so, where did you purchase it? Out of stock at the places I have checked.
TIA.
Nice site for quick reference links
Thought some would find this useful - esp newbies.
I simply used the word as the point of reference. If I had referred to someone AS 'that word'
your read my post that said we are all just people no matter what color we are?

Emdat/Incribe with Word/Stedmans
I would like to know if anyone who types in this program is able to use the Microsoft Word option and Stedman's Spellcheck. That is, without copying and pasting.
Now, regarding my use of the word 'nigger', I used the word as a point of reference. And, to
I had also said, before the thread got moved and deleted that we are all people and that color shouldn't make a difference. What it all comes down to is Dog Chapman is a prejudiced person and he got caught. What his son did was wrong, but it still doesn't make Dog Chapman right.
Regarding AAMT, I thought what one poster said about Dog getting paid 6 cents a line for being AAMTs "motivational" speaker was hilarious. And, what on Earth did having him as a speaker have to do with MT???? Again, I thought it was a tremendously dumb move on AAMTs part.
quick help on word board, please! nm
Drugs! Lots of drugs! Sadly, you're probably like
most of us and don't have time to go to the doctor! Oh well! Feel better soon! You are not alone!
Stedmans Med & Surgical Equip words and Tessiers Surgical Word Book (3rd Ed). I'd be lost
without them.
Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in
nm
Everytime you re-load Word you need to re-load Stedmans medical spellchecker.
``
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.
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
Its so much easier just to type in what your looking for! I must have 20 books just sitting on my shelf!
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.
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?
It's the drugs

drugs.com
I almost always use drugs.com for almost every drug need. It's the best site I have found, but otherwise, I prefer Stedman's Quick Look, but let's face it, by the time these books are printed, there are another 100 drugs out there. Can't keep up fast enough with them. So the web site is the best.
Drugs@FDA
http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/
You can search for any 3 consecutive letters and pull up a list of all drug names containing those 3 consecutive letters.
drugs.com
I use this site because you can put in a part of the drug name, and it gives you a list of drugs that contain that letter combination. So if you can only hear the middle part of a drug, it gets a little easier to narrow it down.
try drugs.com (nm)
x
drugs.com
The problem I have with this site is that there are many generic drugs that are listed with a capped first letter. It is hard to tell which drugs are brand name and which are generic when using drugs.com.
If you are typing the drug name in a paragraph and it is generic, the first letter is not to be capitalized so it is important to be able to find out if the drug is brand or generic.
Drugs.com... just for MTs... sm
Drugs.com lets you type in just a few letters and provides choices. Also, from the homepage on the right, there is a link to drug search just for MTs. It lets you do a wildcard search. I.e., audio is garbled and you hear t-max, you could type in t*max, and it would provide all drug choices. It also has a 'sounds like' search which is most excellent. You can also search for drugs by condition. This site hasn't let me down yet. Best part, it's completely up to date, and free.
my stedmans lab book lists
it as alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, both the older edition, and also the new edition
word97 and stedmans or cust dic
not sure if this is right place, but HELPPPPP......
when I am working in word97 or any word I guess, under tools do I have the Stedman dictionary checked or the custom dictionary checked. How do I know which should be done?
feeling frustrated
i purchased it directly at stedmans.com (nm)
