Stedmans Med & Surgical Equip words and Tessiers Surgical Word Book (3rd Ed). I'd be lost
without them.
Surgical Word Book (Tessier, NOT Stedman's). nm

Tessier's as mentioned & Surgical Word Book
By far, Tessier Surgical Word Book! The Bomb!
nm
Tessier's Surgical Word book is great for ops

The Surgical Word Book by Claudia Tessier (see message)
is set up like that. It is black with silver and GREEN lettering.
Love, love, LOVE this book! Good luck!
Was it the Surgery Word Book by Tessier? nm

Also onelook.com as the Dorland's links right off there. Book would be Tessier's Surgical Word

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.
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.
The Surgical Word Book
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. 
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

Sounds like my Surgical Word Book sm
by Claudia Tessier.
Two: Dorlands and The Surgical Word Book -- SM
I use secure online reference sites for everything else.

Tessier is not a very good reference book. I have one but
haven't used it in years. I would suggest getting a Stedman's. I believe they just had a new one come out either this year or last year. There is new equipment all the time, so an updated book would save you lots of time from searching on-line.
my stedmans lab book lists
it as alpha1-antitrypsin deficiency, both the older edition, and also the new edition
wow. I just got a Stedmans book for 1.79 on Amazon.
Brand new! I never thought to look on there for a book!

Stedmans Ortho book shows
both on pagge 455, plantar flexion and then plantarflexion injury, plantarflexion-inversion test. Maybe it is supposed to be by context ????
Geeze, I remember the wax belts, and the red surgical book that was waxy, too! nm

Has anyone used Tessier paper back version 5 x 8 book with over 2000 pages - does that make it hard
nm
I went to desktop icon for both DRUG BOOK and STEDMANS. Clicked
How old are your drug book and stedman's? (I bought mine about 6 years ago now). I hate to not be able to use them because I have added so much to them through the years. ugh.
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.
TIA
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.
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

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

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.
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!

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.

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 Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm
s
The Dorland's Cardiology Word Book is good, too. Might find books at half.com even if a few years
s
Lots of 'em, but use a Lab Words, Sted's Ortho/Rehab Words, & Tessier's Surgical Words most
s
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.
Updating word expander
I have lost my instructions for updating word expander. Does anyone have these instructions or can tell me where I can find it or the file in my computer? Any help would be appreciated.
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.
