anatomy lists
Posted By: Susan on 2005-09-30

I'm looking for a good anatamy list. For my class, I need to list muscle groups first and then go on from there. The instructions say to use the appendix in Taber's but there is no anatomy list there. Now it's Friday and I don't want to contact my mentor until Monday.
Any ideas? Online would be great, but the only one I found is so animated, I can't get the info I really need.
Any help would be appreciated.

You can get lists of shortcuts off of websites, from other MTs, etc. sm
However, you will have to tailor them to what fits you best. Some people use an "x" after an abbreviation like COPD to expand it, others use a ";", some use COPDi. You have to decide what works best for you, and then make your entries that way. Do a search on this website for Expanders or shortcuts, you will probably come up with some good suggestions.
A lot of it you will have to get from your specific accounts. I make doctor's names two ways, "D______" for Dr. _____, and ______m for ______, MD. I use the "m" for all initials, RN, PA, DO, etc. That streamlines it.
Each doctor has specific phrases they will say, put all of those in. Someone once wrote if a doctor says it twice, she put it as an expander.
The big thing is you have to remember how to put things in, so you will have to add things slowly and use them, or you forget they're there. You can also keep a list, although I don't. I don't use my expanders as well as I could.
There was a book out some years back, something about keystrokes. It was very popular. It gave a lot of tips on setting up shortcuts.
It all takes time, but little by little, if you use what you put in, you will find yourself getting faster.
I don't believe Andrews lists ALL the books on their website ...
that they provide for their course, just a few. You could contact the head of each school they will actually talk to you and answer your questions. From everything I have read over the last few years, both schools are wonderful.

Anatomy Course & Sanity
Just started a 3.5 mo. medical transcription workshop. The anatomy text is giving me fits, and I'm retaining exceedingly little as of first few chapters. Any clues to how to go about learning this stuff? How did you succeed at learning this stuff -- my brain is like a sieve at this point.
Help! I fear I'm losing my sanity (not to mention the potential of losing the funds paid into this).
TIA
Good Anatomy list
Do you want to find anatomy list? Look at Mosby's handbook of anatomy physiology. The book is very good. If you need the book, I can sell mine $10.00. I have other good books too from my previous course. I give up transcription career.
You need the terminology/anatomy more. Each company has their own
way of formatting. If you have 25 accounts within a company each account can have a different format, so you learn a lot of that on the job. Being familiar with the Book of Style would be helpful. Not all companies go by BOS, though I think most do.
I don't know if there are specific things about format you don't feel like you learned or just in general ask questions, try to learn the BOS, there are style forums on some of the MT boards. There are also sample reports so you can get an idea of formats.
Feel free to e-mail me if you have any questions and I'll try to help if I can.
I think there's a CD program out there called ADAM for studying anatomy in a gen
