Subject: love google but they are wrong on many things..s/m

I use google 24/7 but then you must double-check where the information is actually coming from, a legitimate (NIH) medical website or a bulletin board or some website that isn't regulated by any medical group, understand?  I remember first googling Spironolactone and google had it misspelled!  So, I make sure the info is coming from rxlst.com or drugs.com or any govt-regulated site....


Hope that helps.  Orthopedics was my first field 29 years ago and it's always been patellofemoral, all relating to what you described while asking about patellAfemoral (as I know it, no such word with the a).


If I am wrong, I am sure to get flamed *lol*

incorrect answers and alot of people are complaining about it. read all the posts below concerning your *answers*. those answers are definitely not helping anyone and if anyone should be kicked off, it should be you. I am not trying to be *rude*, but I AM concerned about the correctness of your answers and how it may affect patient lives. I am not the only one seeing this either and it is not a personal thing. Read the posts below...all of them. Perhaps you will understand.

Subject: Could it be no giving way or weakness? sm

This is something my ortho docs dictate a lot, usually in a series, i.e., no giving way, weakness, swelling, patellar pain, etc.

It could also be as you have it - give-way or giving-away weakness, just depending on the doc.

most definitely the stages in Hep C are Roman numerals - ask any pathology department or lab department or any hepatologist.


Stage I is characterized by inflammation without the development of any scar tissue. Stage II features include inflammation with early scarring (fibrosis) in one zone (portal) of the liver. Stage III shows bridging of the fibrosis between adjacent portal tracts. Stage IV is cirrhosis (advanced scarring with loss of normal liver architecture). Stage of Disease Terminology Early stage, mild activity (1) Chronic Persistent Hepatitis C or Mild Chronic Active Hepatitis C Intermediate stage (II or III) Chronic Active Hepatitis C with Fibrosis Advanced stage (IV) Cirrhosis

I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google
Subject: I too love Google but be V_E_R_Y careful w/google

Google is great for retrieving anything faster than the speed of light *lol* - but if the info comes from a nonverifiable medical website, be very wary.  There are a few I trust only...the NIH for one (Nat'l Institute of Health) and the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and a few others out of the government actually.


As for prescription places, I trusted rx.com for far too long, there are many more reliable drug websites out there... medilexicon.com is a great site and to confirm a proper name of a disease or things like that, there is whonamedit.com which, if you write to the site owner, can be added to (I have done some communication with the site owner so this is 100% true). 


When I first started using google in MT work about 8 years ago as google is not that old, (got online 12 years ago, been an MT since 1980), I had looked up Spironolactone, and Google gave the spelling to me incorrectly and (who knew it was wrong?!?!??) I used their spelling and I was wrong. 


So, only advice is be VERY CAREFUL what YOU CHOOSE to use as far as websites go regarding MT/ME work because in the end you're the one responsible....not google.
