Subject: Exhausting all resources first is a learning

experience. I've asked questions before also but when I do, I will state the references that failed my efforts. Everyone needs help now and again, but when someone leans too often on the power of the knowledge of others, it becomes a problem. Will they remember what someone else _told_ them the next time that term/phrase comes up again? Statistics have proven that 98% of what we retain is by learned by doing it first hand. That means 98% of the people will not retain what they are told. I like the quote "knowledge knows when to speak and wisdom knows when to listen." I'm afraid we are somewhat short on wisdom on this board.

Knowing the resources available to you is a valuable asset also to your work and in testing...so what if you use this board for testing, as you will use for work too. I am sure you are allowed to use online dictionaries, etc.

Is there anyone here who does operative notes and gynecology notes who could give me some websites to use for resources? I am on an OB/GYN account and have operative notes. I have trouble sometimes with the specific surgical instrument names and would greatly appreciate any help. Thanks in advance.

My suggestion would be to purchase (if you do not already have)OB/GYN, equipment and surgical word books (Steadman's) my choice and you would be equipped to better perform your job.
