and a VERY good one that was recommended to me by someone on this board is

www.medicinenet.com and then click on medications.  i also like the way they divide up their alphabet - instead of giving 10 pages of the letter *L*, you can choose *La - Lc* or whatever.

I will refer her to Dr. Bob, at Joe & Joe's Hospital colorectal surgery division,

should colorectal surgery division be capitalized?     Colorectal Surgery Division

Not sure if my message went through or not --

Since this is part of a proper name, it should be capitalized.

Today is a monday in disguise for me =)

Please see dictated history and physical by nurse practitioner, Name Here. I did see and examine this patient with nurse practitioner Last Name Here.

My question is, is nurse practitioner capitalized in either sentence? Since this isn't a verbatim account i know i can insert 'the' before nurse according to the AAMT and call it good but i'd like to know what others think!

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!
