Careful, Jeeves is not a good website for Med term

there are very few REALLY RELIABLE medical websites for this, NIH comes to mind, medilexicon, even onelook.com but jeeves?  Ask Jeeves?  No way......I'd trust google (which I do not) before I'd trust Ask Jeeves.

JMHO.....

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. 

Hi.  I do quite a bit of OP notes with lots of deliveries and surgeries for OB/GYN.  I do agree with the previous post that those books would be extremely helpful, but I totally understand being strapped for cash (single mom with three kids here).  I thought this website might offer you some help until things start to get a little better for you.  You will find links here for just about everything. 

I hope this helps. Good luck with everything and congratulations on your upcoming wedding 

Hope this helps.  There are also sample OB/GYN operative reports you can look at.

for the past 10-15 minutes - I wish my plastic surgeons, who use the V.A.C. System all the time and I've been working for them 10+ years - would have corrected me over ALL this time......*cyberslaps them* *LOL*

Well, I thank you and the person who posted the corrrect answer (was that you?).....for sending me in the right direction.  Actually it's better because now I will type in the periods and that's 3 more character spaces to get paid for *rofl*

Thanks :) 

Somebody recently mentioned a site where you can go and put a * in the part of the word that you can't get.  Example: 

ap*ectomy = appendectomy.

Can you tell me again where this site is?  It's sooooooooo helpful!!

Thanks!  

Does anyone remember a website (something "Hazel"?) that had phrases that might be used in transcription?  I transcribe for a doc that uses a lot of phrases such as "tincture of time," and since he's sometimes hard to understand, I thought this website might help me.  There were other topics at this website like a list of slang words that might be used in patient records.  I've used Google, but can't seem to find it.  I went to that website a very long time ago, so it may not even still exist. 

I'm a bit ashamed to admit that in my 40+ years of life and 23+ years of transcribing, I had never heard the phrase "tincture of time", or some of the other phrases this doctor uses! 

Thanks!
