Do you know how helpful that particular site is?! Well, I'm sure you do because you had it bookmarked....
Here's another question...If a dictator says leuks, do we type in leukocytes or leukocyte esterase? I have to follow AAMT BOS. I've gotten conflicting reports from a couple of QA people over the years, so I never really know what to go with and wind up typing leukocytes but curiosity is killin' me.
Thank you, Txczech...

you give to everyone on this board, but especially for always taking the time to provide links. I rarely come to ask for help, but I ALWAYS open up your responses and copy the links.....which, of course, makes it easier for me not to have to ask for help. I swear, through you I have learned so much and wanted you to know how appreciated you are for going that extra mile and providing the resources of your knowledge. You are a Godsend to all of us here and I know I speak for many when I say, "Thank you!"
Thanks Txczech. You are always so helpful.

MTs like you and NewbieMT who show a lot of promise.
To answer your questions, I majored in medical secretarial and got my AA in that. After that, it was tough finding a job with no experience, but I managed to get a great job at an ivy-league teaching hospital. I worked as a medical secretary in the outpatient department for 7 years and then decided I hated the "front line" with the phones, appointments, yelling patients, screaming doctors (and doing transcription as part of that job, too), that I branched off into transcription. So, in total, over 30 years. Even after all this time, I haven't forgotten how terrifying it was starting out, so I really feel for you guys.
Would anybody mind helping me. sm

Smiley or one of the other major helpers can help there. I'm a book person.
If you don't have the AAMT BOS (second edition), that would be the first place to start. It comes with a CD which makes it easier to look things up. I'm not crazy about the BOS as I feel it is rather clumsy, but it's compiled from the books (as well as several others) I'll mention later. These rules are adapted specifically for us MTs. If you come across a good deal on an American Medical Association Manual of Style, or the Chicago Manual of Style (I may have goofed up on the titles of these books as I have a cocker spaniel's head on my lap on the couch and can't get to my books without disturbing her), these are excellent resources. I once had a little paperback book that I carried around for years which was grammar and punctuation for writers. It was a handy little book. Maybe you could find something similar, compare it with BOS, and make notations in it.
Another way to keep brushed up is to read. Read good books. Read newspapers. Read the classics. Aside from having great stories, those great novels are wonderful sources of terms that do pop up here and there in our work. Keep in mind that our docs are highly educated, so we have to do our part to keep up. I have seen posts where MTs get stumped on regular English words and phrases, and it shows they don't read. When I was asked to staff my transcription department, I picked the readers. It made all the difference!
Bottom line: No matter how we feel about it, every MT needs his/her own copy of the BOS. The next runnerup is a good English dictionary (I prefer American Heritage, a collegiate version, as it delves deeper than just giving definitions). Of course, the big Dorland's or Stedman's for our medical terms.
You go, Girl! For 6 months, you are doing great!!
