FDA approved as Toprol-XL brand name, so even if they dictate the truncated version, I'm going to use the full brand name. Again, thanks for the heads-up! Good QA team! Learn something every day...only thing that keeps me going...that and helping my fellow MTs!

He was definitely saying "gastro-something" complex - the gastro part was very clear and he mumbled the rest. I believe it was gastroenteritic, but he said it so fast it sounded like gastroneuritic. Anyway, I believe he meant she had several gastro complaints.
Thanks!

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary. There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.
As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true).
When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong.
So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.

I'll try to help you, but...
I agree with the other poster. I mean this in the nicest way possible, so please don't take this wrong. A little research could have answered these for you. Here goes anyway...Astelin nasal spray, Scalpacin, ranitidine (you had this one right, googling it would have confirmed it), Feldene, bupropion hydrochloride, and Temovate (this one may not be what you need, google for more info).
If you don't have drug reference books, Quick Look Drug Book is a great book. Also, you can go to www.fda.gov and then click on drugs, and it will take you to the drugs@fda site, which is great because you can enter just 3 letters of the word. Also, if you know what the drug is used to treat, type in that condition in google, and you can often find several drugs listed for that condition. For example, "stop smoking medications" will pull up bupropion hydrochloride.
Good luck!

I type them, even though they come up on spell check. I have never had a report back with any of those types of words corrected. If the doc says it, I type it and the docs seem to do that a lot these days.

I was trained to do acute care, but spent 7 yrs doing clinic work. It IS a different ball game. I am frequently surprised by what I remember of my coursework and how often I use it, which is actually quite a lot. Then again, most of what I know is through a lot of time and hard work in this profession.
I took a job earlier that year on an account with 80% ESLs. This was the last major challenge I had waiting for me in this career (heavy ESLs are not everyone's cup of tea). I can do the most difficult and intricate of OP notes, but I wanted to continue to learn and grow. The ESL doctors have taught me a lot and sharpened my ear.
That is the thing about this business. There are many different types of work and many different ways in which it gets accomplished. Some of us have excellent ears and ESLs are fun for us. Some of us need the same set of doctors day in and day out, whereas others of us would be bored stiff with this. Some like acute care, some like clinics and some like both.
The knowledge comes over time. If you are as fortunate as I have been and have access to several excellent, accomplished and fast-answering MTs, you learn more and you learn it more quickly. People like MT50 are invaluable...to me too!
I'll bet you are right! Thank you!

I looked up Allen-Masters syndrome, and it seems to fit the preoperative diagnosis of pelvic pain. He clearly says Masterson, though, so I'm afraid he'll get a blank for that part.

I was searching meds that started with et or at as well. I thought I heard a vowel before the t but could not be sure he was saying "a" then the name of the med or if the med started with a vowel. This doc likes to ramble and add lots of a's, um's and and's.
Thanks for your help :)
