Subject: Surgery reference material
Let me start by saying, THANKS! I love this sight. You guys help me so much. I am an MT in training, and little over half-way through my course. I have really been struggling with operative reports. Between the garggling and mumbling of the doctor's dicactation and all the new surgical instruments and drug references, I have at least 50 terms throughout a 5 minute document that I have researched for the past 5 days, spending more hours than I can count, trying to figure out these terms. What I want to know is, does anyone know of a good website, or anything that lists surgical instruments and/or drugs, such as anesthesias, by branch of medicine? (I am on ophthalmology surgeries right now, ack!). I am learning a lot through this process. I just seem to be stuck right now. Thanks!

Use reference material...
Subject: Use reference material...
....as one of the "stupid" QA people, let me tell you that if you have reference material from which you are quoting, you do not have to worry about being wrong. Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment book has Endocatch, and that's what I use. Any company who would make up their own version, I wouldn't work for.

if you have it, pages 46-47. I've had accounts that didn't want departments, etc. capitalized no matter how they were used, all lower case, so definitely account preference as people said below. I prefer to capitalize when referred to as an entity, such as you said or as in BOS, patient was referred to Anesthesia for evaluation... I really dislike typing, the patient was seen by nutrition or wound care or speech, etc. but if verbatim and that's the way they want it, that's what the account gets.
