Okay...sock it to me..when I was even newer than I am now, I wrote "drug alluding stent."  QA sent a correction saying "drug eluding stent."  NOW, I see on Google, "drug eluting stent."  SOoooo, which is it, or are they both correct?  Thanks ahead of time.

since there are a lot of them who really put forth the effort to be understood; I don't mind being a little more patient with them.  But the ones who KNOW their English sux and insist on rambling on a 78 rpm (as well as their American counterparts).  What I would really like to ask them to do is to SPEAK LIKE YOU SPOKE AT YOUR JOB INTERVIEW WITH THE HOSPITAL.  I'm sure they had no trouble being understood then. I'd still rather have a good ESL who's reallying trying than a sloppy US doctor - we KNOW he/she knows how to speak correctly; it's just carelessness.  What are they going to do with the few extra seconds they save?

Most hospitals I worked at would not tolerate lousy dictators - and from my experience, mgmt. almost always sided with the MT.  I even overhead one administrator tell a sloppy dictator to .."Either clean up your act or get someone else to dictate for you.  We're not getting into a lawsuit bec. of your carelessness...and my desk is stacked with resumes. 

MY PET PEEVE WITH ALL OF THE DICTATORS?   PLEEEEZE take the 2-3 seconds it takes to SPELL ANOTHER DOCTOR'S NAME, esp. with a CC.  I'm born knowing how to spell it, right?  But I'm not jumping hoops looking it up ... just leave blank.  They'll get the message.

But we know the MTSOs won't touch that subject.  Better see US tear our hair out and loose $$ with s---y dictators than confront the client.

Could someone help me with the spelling of Remidex?  I am not familiar with this medication.

sounds like "paraphosaphine".  I looked on every cancer site I knew, looked pyra, pira, fosa, phene, fene.  Couldn't find it anywhere.  Did I miss it?

Thanks

The company I work for gives daily info e-mails and actually got one on this a few months ago - is common to transcribe eluding or alluding if you haven't heard it before. 

I always use Drugs@FDA.  I have it in my favorites:  http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/

You can look up drug names by using as few as three letters.  I find it's quick and efficient, and it's free, and because it's the FDA it's the latest info on drugs.
