type this with a baby on my lap.
I looked up a couple of words after I posted for my own benefit (bet you're dying to know which ones they are!). There were some errors not addressed that concerned me greatly from a hospital's point of view as they would be errors as judged by Joint Comm.
To be helpful, an excellent resource for a newbie is a book called "A Syllabus for the Surgeon's Secretary" which was one of the very first resources in print other than a medical dictionary. Many of the questions asked today could have been found there with little effort. It is an expensive book but well worth every scint (ha!).

Subject: 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.....

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.
