CONGRATS to D. Baker from Phoenix, AZ on winning the Surgical Compendium

Stedmans Med & Surgical Equip words and Tessiers Surgical Word Book (3rd Ed). I'd be lost
without them.
Updating surgical references - new Stedmans Word Book, Tessier Surgery Book or others - best one in
nm
Stedmans Med $ Surgical Equip words, Path and Lab words, and Tessiers Surgical Word book (3rd
edition).  I never buy drug books anymore.  Waist of money in my opinion.  New drugs come out so often, it's best to use the web.
The Surgical Word Book
is the best!  I do almost exclusively OP notes and I couldn't do it without this book.  Steadman's is also excellent, but if you get Steadmans you will have to get two books (Equipment Words and Surgery Words).  The Surgical Word Book has both together in one book.   
If you mean the Surgical Word Book, it's the best! nm

I just use the surgical word book. There
are three pages of bandages in there.
Medical Word Book by Sloan, Surgical Word Book by sm
Tessier, Dorland's dictionary, BOS, and my very fave I think is now out of print but called Spellright by Rice.
The Surgical Word Book is the Bomb for me!
It has so much in it besides surgical stuff. I then use Quick Look Drug Book, Stedman's Dictionary, and Sloane's Med Word Book. I love books but Google as well - usually double reference. And, let me not forget, the BOS2
I agree. Best surgical word book!!!!! nm
.
Sounds like my Surgical Word Book sm
by Claudia Tessier.
Two: Dorlands and The Surgical Word Book -- SM
I use secure online reference sites for everything else.


Surgical Word Book (Tessier, NOT Stedman's). nm
nm
Tessier's as mentioned & Surgical Word Book

By far, Tessier Surgical Word Book! The Bomb!
nm
Tessier's Surgical Word book is great for ops

Geeze, I remember the wax belts, and the red surgical book that was waxy, too! nm

The Surgical Word Book by Claudia Tessier (see message)
is set up like that. It is black with silver and GREEN lettering.

Love, love, LOVE this book! Good luck!
Also onelook.com as the Dorland's links right off there. Book would be Tessier's Surgical Word

Just make a note in your book and go on. Every book I read you can find an error
or 2. Nobody is perfect. Lucky you only paid $60. New it is $80 or more.
I would buy book by Dog Whisperer. His TV shows covers things like this and would think his book mi

Quick Look Drug Book (book & CD/ROM)..sm..

Does anyone use both.  I'm definitely getting the CD/ROM and am debating about buying both.  I don't see any reason to have both but there could be something I don't know. 


I noticed CD/ROMs are on backorder but they're selling downloadable versions.  I can handle that.


surgical terms
Why don't you invest in ref. books? Trying to do this job without them is like trying to build a house without a hammer for goodness sake. I don't understand you people - always looking for top pay and taking the cheap way out to do your job without proper tools.
Surgical Transcription

Hello.  A local surgery hosptial is hiring im my area. I've been transcribing psych and technical material for 6 years. Anyone know of good web sites for daily surgical transcription, what to expect in common surgeries and any resources for surgery brush up?


 


Thanks


Surgical account..
I am trying to get a local surgical account but my problem is they currenlty send their dictation overseas.  However, they are having to pay their nurses extra to edit/correct them because the finished report is of very poor quality.  Here are my questions....Does anyone know how the average of what companies pay for overseas transcription?  I don't want to sell myself short but I also don't want to work for nothing.  Do I have an advantage because I am local and will provide a "finished" correct report?  I am getting a proposal ready and want to make sure I have covered everything.  Thanks
Surgical accounts
I have two surgeons, surgical-oncology and I charge 0.12 cpl gross lines with pick up, print and deliver.  I do about 10,000 to 12,000 lines per month.  Very few procedures but lots of consults. H&P's and letters where I make my money.  Can do close to 500 lines per hour with them. 
Surgical margin
"if-nas-co" surgical margin negative for tumor.  Pleural fibrovascular adhesion was mentioned just before that.  Any thoughts as to what "if-nas-co" actually is?
Surgical nursing books.

Try this link :)
IMO, yes. I would love to be a surgical tech.
No money for school, nobody to make the house payment while I'm in school (if I had money to go), etc., etc.  I'll be toughing it out for 11 more years till the house is paid off. 
Surgical removal of a baby????
I had that one yesterday and thought how strange to work delivery that way. If you ever work on Escription you will get a lot of laughs - it is voice recognition and I have had a ROS that said the man came in through the garage until the cat fell from the sky - have no idea what that was supposed to mean.
All different word books, surgical

A dictionary is not going to be near enough for acute care.  You're going to come across many different instruments, techniques, procedures, etc. 


The "particular" factor will relate to the client's specific instructions, i.e. expanding, not expanding, symbols, most likely BOS compliant, verbatim, etc. 


I agree = cervical not surgical

Buy a Stedman's Medical and Surgical
Equipment Words book. One of the best references around.
surgical equipment info is good
nm
need a good surgical equipment website, anyone have one

Any help would be needed.  Learning to do acute care ops - and need some good surgical equipment sites. 


 


Thanks


Anybody know of any good sites for surgical term reference? nm

Same context each job. "Well-healed surgical scar."

How do you enter to win?
And where do we see the prizes?  Thanks
The Sted's Ortho & Rehab Words is probably my most used book and then the Lab Words book. GL! nm

Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words is invaluable. nm

My extreme interest in all things medical/surgical keeps me loving it. nm

i enter the first 4 letters...sm
Every time I come to a drug I enter the first four letters of the drug in Autocorrect, capping it if needed.  I think this is quicker than sitting down and entering a bunch at once. 
You can only enter one time
for each giveaway, but if you have already won a prize you cannot enter anymore. That is what that means. You can absolutely enter for each prize, but in order for others to have a chance to win, you shouldn't enter if you have already won.
had to manually enter the big
anything that you save as a (I think it's called) SmartBlock (saves directly into a Word document), you have to move manually.  I only had about 20-30 of those, so I just did a cut and paste from the Word document directly into Shorthand.  I had to change some of the commands (like how to bold or indent).  You actually have to set those commands manually in Shorthand.  It's a bit confusing on those issues at first, but once you catch on to it, you can do, say, 5 a day, and it won't take too long.
That is what I was thinking, enter those
into autocorrect and you will never do it wrong again. I have a lot of words in there that are mistakes I usually make and it just corrects it for me. Good luck!
anyone know how to enter an entry for
-year-old where I don't have to backspace the expansion?
You don't have to hit the enter key for ths to happen.
It sounds like you highlighted the phrase and you also captured the end of paragraph mark (that was probably hidden), which will make the entry go down a line. Do it again and make sure you are only highlighting the words.
