Don't spend too much for terminology books and be selective when doing such; you can look up just about everything online now and save it all to favorites.

It will make your life so much easier than trying to wing it with Google alone.
Also, research all responses you receive here, i.e., look up the definitions for "fulminate" and "fulminant" and you'll see what I mean. ;)

Lord help me, I have now been given a fast-talking guy who is a pioneer in electrophysiology. I am at sea here.
Things like "Release activation with the HIS and all conduction was concentric," and ""pacing drive trains" are foreign to me.

Thanks.

Please don't just quote ref. books
Please don't just quote reference books; I have my own, thank you, and they are all just as conflicted as yours. Stedman's, Tessier, Sloane, Google, etc., all list Moschowitz, Moschcowitz, Moskowitz and Moscowitz in roughly equal proportions. None gives an actual first name or cites the pioneering publication. Please, does anyone actually know who this procedure is named after? Is it hernia repair pioneer Alexis Moschcowitz of Mt. Sinai? Full doctor name and facility or publication title, please!!!!!

Subject: I don't trust word books any more.
Like you, I have been running into this situation more and more lately. The Internet may not solve much, but it sure points out how unreliable all those word books are that we've been trusting all these years.
It's gotten so I don't trust any eponym reference unless it gives me first & last name with bio (hey, why not shoe size and zodiac sign while we're at it!)
beg to difer about accuracy of books
Subject: beg to difer about accuracy of books
its spellchecker to take out all the errors that were in it and have extended this overhaul to books published since mid April 2004....SO, if your Stedman book was published before that date, you will find misspellings.
And as others here like to say that BOS is not the authority, neither is Stedman. If Vera were still alive, I would still swear by her Current Medical Terminology but since Claudia took it over, I question its continued purity.

Heads up on Stedmans CD books
Subject: Heads up on Stedmans CD books
Hi all..
I have bought quite a few Stedmans CDs which are wonderful. Then came the Cardiology book and apparently all that will follow. They go on the ready reference bookshelf by LWW...It severely limits your abilities to search...for instance if you are looking for some kind of syndrome you can't hear what it is but you know it is a syndrome. where u can go into the books and look under syndrome and hope to hit pay dirt..The ready reference bookshelf doesn't allow you to search like that. Same thing with Quick Look Drug book 2008 same problem...The tech quy has said he has heard the same complaints...Just a heads up before you go wasting your money buy the books instead from here on out :-( Rots cause the CDs were 100 times easier. I complained and they don't seem to care what I think...Unless I am doing something wrong in my searches and anyone has an answer on how to fix the problem...We gotta stick together here...:-)

psychiatric terminology question
Subject: psychiatric terminology question
Dictated as, "Her thought process was linear, logical, and goal directed," or should it be "Her thought process was linear logical and goal directed"? Since I am unsure, I googled the key words and hit a dead end; that is, never figured out if it is "linear logical" or "linear, logical."

If your account allows slang terminology
Subject: If your account allows slang terminology
satting is correct. (Sating is another word with a different meaning.) If your account does not allow the use of slang or short forms, then you would change the dictated "satting" to saturating.
Very simple. No exclamation points or caps required.
