done in the 1960's or so. My grandfather was told he would never have to worry about it coming back. By the time it did, his Dr had died and the CA had spread throughout his body. Because of what the Dr had told him, he never thought that was the problem. Of course, he did live to 88, but he was still working as a barber and we never wanted either one of them to die, ever. Sorry, I went on way past your question.

Quick Look Electronic Drug Reference. You can get it from a lot of places. I saw it on stedmans.com and amazon.com just to name a couple. I saw it on walmart.com bundled with the paperback. I don't have the book, just the CD, so I can't say anything about that, but it would probably be nice to have. The CD has helped me a lot. I just discovered recently the "sounds like" feature on searching where you can type in how the drug name sounds with a tilde (~) at the end and it will give a list of close matching drugs. That's the best!

I am not a "certified" medical transcriptionist and I am new to this field of work. However, I take pride in my work. I work for a transcription service locally. One of the best things I learned from my administrator is to use Google as my search engine. If you are not sure what you are hearing, you can type what it sounds like. If Google does not find an exact match it will ask "Do you mean __________?" (and it fills in what it might be) 98-99% of the time. I usually resolve the question within a minute or two. This has helped be TREMENDOUSLY. My intention is not to brag; my first attempts were horrible, but my administrator gave me a few suggestions and I took it from there. I just want to share something that has helped me so much as an MT. My administrator has told me that is is a pleasure to open up my work to proof. She has had several "experienced MTs" do some work that wasn't as good as mine turned out and I have only been doing this for less than a year. I also did some research on the internet. I found a site that is an Online Medical Transcription Course that I use as a tool. There is a lot of information there that helped me also. The site is: http://mttutorial.blogspot.com/

A brief Google search using
"T score" and "dexa" would have answered your question. And, it would incidentally have shown you that DEXA should be all caps. If you don't learn to do your own research, what will you do the next time this board is down for some reason?

Search tips
Subject: Search tips
Use more words in your search. Back up and ask yourself the same questions you need to think about when posting a question:
What kind of procedure am I transcribing. Ah, a hip replacement. Using technical terms instead of "general public" terms usually yields results with higher levels of the technical terms you're looking for. So if it's an arthroplasty, use that in your search, etc.

I found Errin, but not sure.
This is what I found.
NORETHINDRONE (Ortho-Micronor® or Errin™ or Jolivette™, Nor-QD® or Camila™, Norlutin®, Aygestin®) is used as a birth-control pill (to prevent an unwanted pregnancy). Not sure as we all know that Google can give incorrect info.
