The Surgical Word Book
Posted By: by Claudia Tessier on 2006-06-12
In Reply to: those of you who do op reports - ER MT
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.

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
Medical Word Book by Sloan, Surgical Word Book by sm
Tessier, Dorland's dictionary, BOS, and my very fave I think is now out of print but called Spellright by Rice.
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.
If you mean the Surgical Word Book, it's the best! nm

I just use the surgical word book. There
are three pages of bandages in there.
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
I agree. Best surgical word book!!!!! nm

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 went from WP5.1 to Word with the help of this book. sm

Stedman's word book nm
Psychiatry word book help...
The one from HPI is $18 and will be out of print soon. The publishing year is 1998. The one from Stedman's is $36 and published in 2002. Does anyone know if there's a big difference between the two? I've never done psychiatry before but will be soon. I much prefer the books from HPI but if the information in the Stedman's book is much more current then I'll go with them. Thanks!

The Surgery Word Book can be ordered off this site.
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.
Was it the Surgery Word Book by Tessier? nm

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.
Better than Word for Dummies is Cheryl Flanders' book.
www.cherylflanders.com
And no, I don't get anything for recommending it. It's just a great book for MTs that use MS Word.
Stedman's M&S Equipment Word Book is my bible. nm

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. :)
I agree, don't like the QLDB but I do like Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book
That is one book I purchase yearly.
Medical Transcriptionist's Guide to Microsoft Word book
Does anybody have this book? Is it worth the money to buy it if you are pretty comfortable creating macros and such in Word already? Just wondering.... I am always looking for new ways to increase my speed and make things easier. Any info would be great from someone who has this book. Thanks!
I have an ollllld Ortho word book circa 1995
that actually isn't too bad! I just got back into ortho and I need to update, but most of the basic anatomy terms don't really change, so I would think 2005 would work fine for you.
I'm thinking about buying Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book 2007 on CD/ROM...sm..
I've never bought a drug book on CD/ROM but I'd like to try it. I'm guessing it would be quicker than looking everything up in a book. I'm trying to get away from looking things up online because everytime I stop and look something up online I end up checking email, ebay, all the boards, etc., and not focusing on my work. They're so much temptation on the internet!
I've bought one book (QLDB) back in 2000 so I need an update! They sell the Saunders Drake & Drake Pharmaceutical Word Book on CD/ROM and in the book form as a package or you can buy them separately. I'm wondering why someone would buy both.
Any advice before I buy would be appreciated.
The Dorland's Cardiology Word Book is good, too. Might find books at half.com even if a few years

Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
I would buy book by Dog Whisperer. His TV shows covers things like this and would think his book mi

Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..
Does anyone use both. I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both. I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know.
I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions. I can handle that.
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?
Surgical nursing books.

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.
I agree = cervical not surgical
Buy a Stedman's Medical and Surgical
Equipment Words book. One of the best references around.
surgical equipment info is good
nm
need a good surgical equipment website, anyone have one
Any help would be needed. Learning to do acute care ops - and need some good surgical equipment sites.
Thanks
Anybody know of any good sites for surgical term reference? nm
