Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words
Subject: Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words
If you don't have Stedman's Medical & Surgical Equipment Words book you should get it. This book is amazing. Pretty much any piece of medical/surgical equipment is in there. It is worth its weight in gold. If your company doesn't offer discounted books, you can purchase it a Amazon.com either new or used, and they have great used book. I bought my entire collection of Stedman's words book used. All of them are in at least good condition.

Subject: My favorite of all time is a Sony. sm
Sony BM 820. Kind of pricy but really really the best. I used to type 7 days a week on this baby. Still have it.
Another cheaper one is Pearlcorder T100. It is okay but I tended to jerk the light little thing around on my desk. Also the ERASE button is right next to the other ones, so I used to tape a bottle cap over it so as not to reach over and ruin myself!!!!!

http://www.accessdata.fda.gov/scripts/cder/drugsatfda/index.cfm – this one has a generic list also.

GENERAL DATA BASE INFO SITES ETC:

http://www.emedicine.com/ — this is my personal favorite. A lot of time when you Google a condition, like "diaphragmatic hernia" it will bring up E.medicine.com article. These articles give the alternate names, treatments, etc. Great source.

especially the drugs are listed categorically. For instance, if you heard a drug but couldn't quite get it but knew it was for (for example) Parkinson's disease, you could look it up under "antiparkinsonian drugs." Drake & Drake has a similar book, XRef.
I'd love to use the Internet more but I can only get dialup in my area and it takes waaaaay too long. Books are faster for me.
As far as Sherlock Holmes is concerned, I was more of an Inspector Clousseau.

While I realize it is the OP's responsibility to doublecheck whatever answers received here, and it's fine to be lazy in any other posts on the board, but IMO, it's still a good idea to give correct answers -- spelling, capitalization, and all -- when providing word help. Otherwise, if the OP is also "lazy" it will end up in a medical record the wrong way. Not major in this case, but could be in others ...
Just my opinion, of course.

I have Stedman's medical spellchecker installed and it will automatically cap the ones that are brand names and leave uncapped the generic ones. Very rarely do I have to check on line to see.

dictionary before using it. Decubitus is an adjective - it describes the type of ulcer, or type of position. I don't think you can make an adjective in the plural form.
If you google "decubiti plural", you'll see a list of medical books that quote it to be an incorrect form.
I think it's just one of those things that so many people have accepted it in that form that they think it's correct, when it really isn't.
