Good anatomy book is "Gray's Anatomy" (Running Press), soft cover, and inexpensive
Prior to posting here, this is what I found on Wikipedia and why I assumed it was, if not offensive,
From Wikipedia, searching the term Oriental. See what I have bolded and underlined.
Perceptions and connotations
[edit] American English
Controversy surrounds connotations of the term in American English. (See also American and British English differences.) According to Abdurrahman R. Squires, "politically correct terms have taken the place of the word 'Orientalism'".[2]
While a number of reference works used in the United States describe Oriental as pejorative, antiquated or offensive in some instances, the American Heritage Book of English Usage notes that
- It is worth remembering, though, that Oriental is not an ethnic slur to be avoided in all situations. It is most objectionable in contemporary contexts and when used as a noun, as in the appointment of an Oriental to head the commission. In these cases Asian (or a more specific term such as Vietnamese, Korean, or Asian American, if appropriate) is the only acceptable term. But in certain historical contexts, or when its exotic connotations are integral to the topic, Oriental remains a useful term.[3]
Random House's Guide to Sensitive Language states "Other words (e.g., Oriental, colored) are outdated or inaccurate." This Guide to Sensitive Language suggests the use of "Asian or more specific designation such as Pacific Islander, Chinese American, [or] Korean." [4] Merriam-Webster describes the term as "sometimes offensive,"[5] Encarta states when the term is used as a noun it is considered "a highly offensive term for somebody from East Asia." [6]
Mostly anatomy
It helps to remember that most of what they dictate is anatomy, and those terms change a lot less than other terminology. However, an anatomical transcription blunder is probably the dumbest kind!
You have to know your anatomy very well, as it (sm)
takes you all over the body as you do Rad. reports. Plus it seems they are always getting new contrast media and imaging machines. BUT! The biggest problem with Radiology, and probably a good reason why they're always looking for Rad-MT's, is that it seems to be a royal pain-in-the-posterior department to work for. No matter what hospital you work for, they want everything YESTERDAY. Lots of crummy dictators, even when ESL is not an issue. They nit-pick about the tiniest differences (not even errors!) that occur in work from one MT to the next. They often change their minds about what they want on an almost-daily basis, and frequently don't bother to inform the MT company's supervisors of these changes. Then they see red when it isn't implemented immediately.
Finally, the reports are usually short, and not great for generating line counts. Some hospitals have different softward for Radiology than for the rest of their depts., and what I've encountered in the past has been ABYSALLY badly written and hard-to-use.
Needless to say, even with many, many years of Rad. experience, I gave it up and won't type it even if it does pay more. The headache of typing Rad. just isn't worth it.
Grey's Anatomy is the Best!!!
 LOVE IT!!!
Gray's Anatomy
I have not watched it yet, I did tape it. I will watch tonight. I understand, I am totally addicted to that show. I never want it to end!
Grey's Anatomy
I am completely obsessed with that show. I just can't believe they're putting it on tonight at the same time as 24! Sorry Jack Bauer, but I'll have to miss you tonight.
Grey's Anatomy
On July 6th, the show is supposed to start on Thursday nights. Anybody know if this will be reruns or new episodes? I thought that new episodes wouldn't come on until the fall. I love that show!!!!
Brush up on your anatomy
Radiology/diagnostic imaging is all about anatomy. If you're going to be transcribing CTs, MRIs, nuclear medicine studies, or PET CTs, go online and look up contrast material and radiopharmaceuticals. The most commonly used ones for CTs are Omnipaque and Visipaque, and gadolinium for MRIs, although they may give a brand name for gadolinium such as OptiRay or OptiMARK. There are dozens of radiopharmaceuticals, however. But it's unlikely they would test you on more than one nuclear medicine or PET study.
Good luck!
Watching Grey's Anatomy and never
saw it before. I couldn't tell if they were daydreaming, going back or going forward. I missed a couple of seconds when the phone rang and the Asian girl who was pregnant is in the hospital and the doctor is cuddling her. Did she miscarry?
If so i bet they are a crappy MT. You have to KNOW anatomy to be good.
;P
Grey's Anatomy last night
Was anyone else freaking out at the end of that show? I swear..I hate when I get so involved in a show like this. I am so into the Denny story line. I wish George would have rushed Izzie and stopped her. I can't believe she would do what she's doing.
Grey's Anatomy last week
I had set my VCR to tape Grey's Anatomy last Thursday b/c I thought they were starting a new season; however, my tape was full and it didn't tape! I was on the edge of my seat the last episode and didn't want to miss the first one this season. Somebody please tell me it was a rerun. If not, can anyone catch me up on what I missed????? Thanks a million!
I love Grey's Anatomy....sm
but have some questions about ER...I turned it on last week, just because Grey's was over and I wasn't quite ready to go to bed. When did Abby and Luca get back together and what happend to Carrie's limp? Haven't watched it in a very long time after being very loyal.
Have a great weekend, all!
I sure used his made up anatomy on a report tonight
"upper extremities are intact x4 with lower extremities intact x3" .lol just really trying to picture this patient :)
Grey's Anatomy Encore Tonight
Gray's Anatomy is having an encore tonight at 9:30 on ABC from Sunday's episode. Great since I think so many people missed all/part of it.

Well, if MTs knew their anatomy and physiology, it might help with stuipidity errors.
Too many MTs are just plain out idiots who think they know a word but don't.
Nuclear profusion test
Perineal nerve
give me a break!
Don't Forget to Watch Grey's Anatomy Tonight!!!!

Grey's anatomy finale recap comments
Denny died after his transplant, embolism. Alec was very kind and nice to Izzie afterward. Meredith and Derek had some steamy intimate moments at the end. Finn seems very taken with Meredith but it will probably do him no good. The prom part seemed rather far fetched. Burke and Christina were hand in hand near the end of show. His surgical ability will probably return, after all what would Grey's be without him?? George and the lady orthopod are becoming closer. Next season should be interesting indeed. This show is my very favorite series, also like ER but Grey's is better.
Must watch Grey's Anatomy and Boston Legal. sm
Stop whatever I am doing or get home in time to watch these two shows. Don't watch much other TV but these two and sports.
Waiting for Stanley Cup playoffs to start and then Football season!
Brush up on anatomy, so you can follow along with what they're talking about. NM

Well I just finished watching Desperate Housewives and Grey's Anatomy. How that for an evening. N
:
I love Grey's Anatomy - the only show I watch faithfully. Awesome!
Can't tell you how much I love that show. Every Sunday can't wait until it comes on!
Dr. Burke and the "asian" intern are lovers.
