It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that
Subject: It isn't rude to direct someone to a resource that
If a reliable resource had been used, it could have defrazzled the MT looking for a quick fix answer. There is that saying about teaching someone to fish versus just giving him a fish that really applies to being an MT. This MT wanted someone else to think for him/her. So okay, everyone has bad days, but a good MT practices sound research regardless of the day. The poster you referred to as rude was polite enough to point the OP to a site where the entire medication database can be downloaded onto his/her PC and can perform searches in a variety of ways for FREE, and get free updates to drugs as they come out. That doesn't sound as though the responding poster was being entirely rude.
Your comments about hoping the offending responder being given an incorrect answer on purpose was actually much more rude than the one trying to teach the OP to fish.
Stedman's is a good resource sm
Subject: Stedman's is a good resource sm
But it is not the final authority on medical terminology. The medical field is growing and changing all the time. New procedures are developed every day and old ones fade away. Doctors in one part of the country may use a different terminology than doctors in other parts of the country.
Transcriptionists need to learn to be flexible and use their common sense as well as reference materials. Even if Stedman's says it should be "whatever", if the doctor says it a different way, that may be how he/she wants it to be spelled in the report. As long as it is not something totally off the wall that cannot be found anywhere the way the doctor says it, then I think the transcriptionist should respect the doctor's wishes unless told otherwise.
If it is something totally off the wall, I would leave a blank and leave a note for the doctor.

Great new gal.
You had a great question, and you are going to be a great MT. If my response sounded a little cranky, I did not mean to be. My point is after 25 years, I am not in the business of practicing medicine, and my inclination is that the doc, being a good doc, removed the colostomy bag and examined the colostomy site; and what he actually meant was, "no blood coming from colostomy site". But to add the word site or bag, when he said neither, gets into the business of practicing medicine and that is not our business. The best thing to do is put the responsibility back on him and go verbatim. You are going to be a great MT, I worried to death about things exactly like this 25 years ago. Good luck and come on the board anytime, plenty of people helped me, and still do.

I do think it must be organism/bacteria, and you probably have them right. But how do they expect us to know what they are talking about when they throw out obscure acronyms like that? 
Thanks again!
