hyphenated words.
Subject: hyphenated words.
<>
The radiologists I work for do spell words right out of their books for me. What I notice is that their spelling does not often agree with my Stedman's books, but occasionally I can find their spelling in an HPI book (homolog/homologue is an example). But their books use many unneccessary hyphens, and it makes my job of listening more difficult when the MDs keep "helping" me by dictating words as hyphenated that are not hyphenated in Dorland's or any other dictionary.
These professional writers need to stop with the hyphenated words.

Great site for anything medical, abbrevs, Rx, etc.
Subject: Great site for anything medical, abbrevs, Rx, etc.
I think I use the following site more than anything else. It's a great all-around site for all things medical, but the abbreviation look-up is awesome! You can also look up abbrevs by definition. It also has a medical dictionary, ICD9 code search, Rx look-up, US Rx drug spelling, skin conditions, hospitals worldwide, medical associations, and more!

If you don't have Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words book you should get it. This book is amazing. Pretty much any piece of medical/surgical equipment is in there. It is worth its weight in gold. If your company doesn't offer discounted books, you can purchase it a Amazon.com either new or used, and they have great used book. I bought my entire collection of Stedman's words book used. All of them are in at least good condition.
