Good drug book vs. internet drug sites
I need to buy a new drug book. At a prior job, about a year ago, one of the supervisors told me she used the internet exclusively. What's the consensus and if you prefer the internet, which site or sites do you like. Thanks in advance.
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.
Which Rx Drug Book to use?
I'm looking for a Rx drug book that I can incorporate into my spellcheck or expander. I've looked at Stedman's Plus, QuickLook, and Saunder's Pharmaceutical Word Book. So far I'm leaning to Saunder's since it seems like it'll do what I want it to do plus I get downloadable updates. I'd hate to spend $100 on Stedman's only to find out it's nothing more than a dictionary, when I could've spent $30 on Saunder's.
If anyone has any advice about what program to buy, I'd greatly appreciate it!
drug book
Monthly Prescribing Reference is very good. One of our MD's carried a copy in his lab coat.
Drug Book
Go to Amazon.com and see if you can get the book cheaper. I always have good luck with them.
drug book
I went on the amazon.com web site. they have 2009 Quick Look Drug book for $28.76. I wish that I would have waited for this price.
Quick Look Drug Book
The company I recently began working for asked me to purchase the Quick Look Drug Book as a reference tool, as they use it. So, I got one...bought it used online so it wasn't that expensive, and I was needing a new drug reference book anyway.
I am just not impressed with this book. While it does have very useful information in it, I find it is not laid out in the most convenient manner. The drugs are listed alphabetically by the generic name. So, what if the doc says the brand name of a drug? How am I to use this book to look up the spelling, etc. of a brand name drug if I don't know the generic name of the drug so I can find it??? I have hardly used this book at all since I got it....I still go online to look up meds. I feel like I wasted my money.
Maybe I'm just missing something here. If anyone has any insight please let me know. Or if any of you have a better suggestion for a drug guide that is laid out in a better format for MTs, I am open to suggestions.
TIA!!
Quick Look Drug Book CD
Can anyone tell me if they use the Quick Look Drug Book and CD? I am thinking about purchasing the 2006 set for about $80, the 2007 is not available yet
What about Saunders drug book on CD?
I have always preferred Saunders to Quick Look, and they have just released their first version on CD. Has anyone tried it yet? I'd like to get it.
Drug Reference Book
I love Drake & Drake Pharmaceutical Word Book.
quick look drug book
Hello-
Could you give me some advice on drug reference books? Do you recommend people wait for the quick look drug book '08? Or is there a site online to search for drug information?
I'm new here, and am still studying to be a MT, so I'd like a recommendation from someone who knows :)
I hope I'm not asking a question already asked 100 times...
Thanks!

Brand new drug book
I have always used the electronic drug references. The company I get them from has now combined everything into 1 icon and it takes forever to get anything to come up. It is easier to use Google for references than to mess with this anymore. I find myself using my old references just to save time and if it is not there, then I go to the "brand new drug reference" It is never up to date anyhow, so back to the net I go. And no, I don't think their requirement is reasonable. They want your brains and experience with no cash outlay on their end?
Need a good drug book
My friend and I need to buy a new up-to-date brand name and generic drug book. I need the opinion of some good ones to look at and maybe buy. Thanks
Quick Look Drug Book
I would highly recommend Quick Look Drug Book. It is the cheapest book I have found, and it is is the only one I have seen that lists the drugs in both alphabetical order as well as by indication/treatment. In my opinion, it is the drug book with the best format.
Electronic Drug Book 2003!
Does anyone know if the Quick Look Electronic Drug Book 2003 is compatible with XP? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
TIA
A used drug book is basically not worth much
in the long run - so many MTs waste their precious $$ on used resources. Particularly in the world of drugs/pharmacology, even a 1 year old drug reference is basically worthless. Unless you just want to be able to claim "you have one" for your company, its already long outdated. Best to buy the current editions, no matter if you can get a used one cheaper. You are defeating the entire purpose - having an up-to-date reference for your knowledge.
Drug book vs. CD version, which do you prefer and why? Thanks. nm

Quick Look Drug Book 2007 (sm)
CD version. Does anyone have this and like it? I have the 2005 version, and could not see much difference in the 2006 QLDB. Any comments appreciated.
I prefer QuickLook for a drug book or
either Drake and Drake. I don't know anything about Gregg's, but I think HPI are a waste of $$ and Stedman's is probably the most popular. There is also Dorland's, thought I don't know anything about those either.
Yes do check the classified board here, www.half.com, or e-bay. You should be able to get books for a fraction of new, especially if you get an older version.
What books you need will depend on the type of work you do. If you only do clinic work, just something like Sloane's Medical Word book might be all you need, in addition to a drug book. If you are just doing one specialist then a Stedman's book of that speciality would probably be all you need in addition to the drug book.
If you don't see what you need listed on the classified board here, post a wanted ad to see if you get any response.
Anybody Use Quick Look Drug Book 2007?
Do you like it? I just received mine yesterday. It does not put a link on the Word toolbar like the old one did. I called support and they downloaded a file for me to load and now it's on the toolbar, but now I get the message "QLDB.exe" not found.
I have uninstalled (like tech support said) and re-installed but still get the same message. 
I checked the CD and it does not seem to have this file on it. Does anyone else have this problem? My task bar is already full so I really need it on the Word toolbar. Thanks
Brand new drug book required
I am applying for a new job, and before I can start, they say I need a new specialty book (which I can understand) and the latest drug book. I don't have the money to buy those books right now.
As an MT with years of experience, I am perfectly capable for doing my job without a brand new drug book for a few weeks until I get paid. I know how to research and verify drugs without a current drug book.
Do you think requiring a brand new drug book is reasonable?
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.
I haven't bought a drug book in 2 years - I use Google ...sm
and the FDA website. Both are faster than flipping through a book and free.
I have the 2006 edition. But the 2007 of this and the Quick Look Drug Book come out

Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error

no I'm not first, he tells me so too
My fiance' has informed me many times that his kids will always be first: kids first, me second. He's been raising them alone for 2 years now so they really take a toll on him (therefore US) emotionally, financially, even physically because his son is mentally handicapped and his daughter is extremely lazy and spoiled...so he is constantly cleaning up messes, doing unneccessary laundry, dishes, etc. (Could start a whole topic on that alone.) I have no kids, never been married. I love his kids but I can't say I'd give my life for them or anything. In fact, the more I explore our relationship I seriously doubt I will marry this man. Already he speaks of providing for them with me providing for myself and marriage is a joint effort. I resent the idea of furnishing a spoiled lifestyle for two kids who are not biologically mine. He's already mentioned that he'd provide for the kids & money I make could be "our" money. Well that amounts to me supporting the family, in my opinion....for what he buys the kids could also be used for paying bills, groceries, etc. Sigh, I think I deserve better...a better life than this.
Exactly right. If no one tells you, you won't know.

I don't think there is anything that tells you
how much RAM any particular process uses. If you have less than 1056 you don't have enough to be leaving a lot of programs open.
You can run a defrag and that might free up some stuff if you haven't done it in a while. Running a defrag doesn't allow you to do anything else on your computer though. I run it when I'm through for the night.
You can do an Msconfig and see if you have hidden programs running in the background and you can disable them from loading on startup.
Something Tells Me That -
Who tells everyone how fantastic their employer is, yet refuses to divulge the name should anyone ask because you fear they'll take your job.
Am I right?
Thought so.
I don't worry about those types of things. I'm secure enough in my skill and knowledge that I'm willing to share info with and help any MT who needs it.
Life's too short for such paranoid delusions.
Maybe just a letter that tells her how much you
appreciate her and everything she's done for you, how much you love her, et cetera. I would much rather have something like that from my children than a gift. Gifts are nice, too, but sometimes something from the heart just means so much more.

Do you believe that story. That is what they told her to say. MQ tells everyone what to say to get
what they want. You would not believe the lines I have heard from my office. I have asolutely no respect for these people. They lie through their teeth for MQ. MQ is hiring because they want to have a very short TAT and try to keep the accounts they have and then a lot of people quit because they dont have work and have tons of backups and make no money in them. Everything MQ does is for them and not the MT. You are just along for the ride.
Yes, but only if tells me to sleep all day or eat ice cream.

Thanks. That tells me a lot about why my line count..sm
seems so much lower than I feel it should be since I do about the same amount of work and probably more now, but can not seem to make 1000 lpd.
He tells me he loves me all the time, and not
only does he tell me, he shows me. He isn't romantic at all, but he does little things all the time that shows he is thinking of me.
He likes to share new experiences with me, he enjoys going to craft shows with. He isn't particularly fond of working in the yard, but he knows how much I enjoy it and he spends hours working in the yard, even when I'm not working with him.
He cooks and helps around the house (usually without grumbling). I could serve him burnt toast for supper and he would thank me for a good meal.
He overlooks my faults.

It is where the doctor tells you to "pull forward" SM
something from the patient's last visit. For example, he will say pull forward my problem list, medications, and allergies from job # whatever and you will go back and copy and paste that into the patient's new report. Sometimes they will make changes and sometimes they won't. I didn't know what it was until 2 years ago when I started an account that did it.
Don't like the part where doc's office tells you not to tell her. They should be upfront and
letting her know they approached you and not the other way... I would not trust them... they could drop you just as quickly down the line and she might not hire you back.....
