anybody have any good PT sites/books??
I do a lot of PT reports and some of the exercises dictated are not very clear and spelling is unknown, and having a tough time finding reference material on the web.  I have the Dorland's Orthopedics book and that helps sometimes, but wondered if there were other things out there that other people use?? 
Thank too. - Always good to have multiple sites
Thanks.

Need names of good, secure, FTP sites - sm

that are easy to use and access.  Have a doctor's office that will be sending me digital voice files in the next couple of weeks and need to switch them over easily to a new "system".  I prefer FTP though since I only have dial-up and I am used to using it with another job. Any preferences out there? Thanks.

Urology. Thoughts?
 

Posterior right renal mass, exophytic, and measuring up to 3.1 cm in maximum dimension.  This has Hounsfield attenuation numbers between 50 and 60 which is too high for benign simple cyst although this may be a proteinaceous or bled into cyst.

 

A 2.7 cm exophytic cystic mass involving the posterior mid-pole of the left kidney, somewhat hyperdense, possibly representing partially mildly hemorrhagic cyst.

 

Degree of malrotation involving the right kidney.

 

Within the right lung base peripherally, there is a nonspecific 3 mm nodule.  Six-month follow up is recommended.

 

This has the holy living hell scared out of me.  Mets?

 

Appreciate any thoughts; urologist appt. Sept. 27.

Urology to India

The urology office I work in only has me full time in the office for 6 physicians and 2 NPs.  We send out what I can't handle.  They started using a transcription company and guess where it was going? India!!!! Let me tell you it came back a mess and I had to deal with it, after 6 months they are finally letting someone locally do it for the same price.  That makes me very happy!  I can't believe doctors and patients don't care if their dictation goes to India.  Our local hospital says NO!!!


Used to work for urology and
they say at least 6 weeks for all the swimmers to be gone. Make sure he is protected!!!

LOL typical man wanting to make sure his business is still in order.
Urology, Radiology and Psych
Hi!  I'm new to the board, but I saw your question.  I did contract for VA hospitals in my area for years, and I got a ton of urology, some psych (those were very long reports!) and then ended up just doing their radiology.
Good drug book vs. internet drug sites
I need to buy a new drug book.  At a prior job, about a year ago, one of the supervisors told me she used the internet exclusively.  What's the consensus and if you prefer the internet, which site or sites do you like.  Thanks in advance.
Need some clarification on C-phone dictation and some websites for urology sm
I will be covering the transcription for a urology clinic.   I was briefly told that the doctors dictate to a C-phone that  goes directly to a base office.  Then the file is e-mailed to their office where they can access the dictation.   Does this sound right or are they accessing the file from the base office through FTP and then downloading it.  Also, doesl AOL work OK to access files or do you need another FTP provider.  Not sure how they are doing the work, but any help would be appreciated.  Need some good website for urology,  Just want to be prepared.   Always ask the experts!  Thanks. 
I started out in the file room of a 6 doc urology practice.
I started in the file room and worked my way up to full time transcriptionist. I took 2 semesters of med terminology at our local CC and haven't looked back since. I now have my own small transcription business and also work full time for a major hospital here in Michigan. My cubbie mate spent 7K on her program and degree and was no further ahead than I was.

It can be done.
I started in the file room of the urology office I worked. And I was not
going to be a file clerk for the rest of my life. I only had 2 semesters of terminology, no other professional schooling. They had a fresh from a Mayo Fellowship peds urologist coming in and needed somebody to help with the typing. First it was half file-room and half transcription. Finally he was so busy, I became full time. I was there from 1990 until 2003. I then left to free-lance and start my own business. He has since moved to Arizona and I still type for him after all these years.
I started in the file room of a 6 doctor urology office....
The file room in any office is a nuclear dumping ground...any paper that nobody knows what to do with gets dumped there. Then and there I made up my mind that I was NOT going to be a file clerk for the rest of my life.

I actually started by filing part time and typing part time. When we got a new Peds Urologist in the office, fresh from a fellowship at Mayo, I was right there. We used tapes back then as that was in the early 1990's. As he could fill up a 2 sided tape with 8 hours of seeing patient's, the other girl in the office did not want any part of his work and left it for me. The rest, as they say, is history.

I had no professional training, just 2 semesters of medical terminology and a killer spelling ability.

After I had typed urology, I was then farmed out to our other offices and I learned GI/GU, family practice, sleep labs etc.

I now work for a major hospital on the west side of Michigan and still type for my Peds urologist. The only difference is that he now has his practice in AZ, not MI.

If you can find somebody willing to take a chance on you with no experience, jump on it with both feet. You will be glad you did.
It has nothing to do with sites..
Check with your ISP, modem or phone line.

FTP sites...
Does anyone know of any FTP sites that do not have a user fee? I am currently using a software that charges me 0.025 cpl and I find it's a ripoff. I really don't make any money off this software, AND I paid an arm and a leg for this software. Can anyone tell me where I can find an FTP site that does not charge a user fee? TIA.
OB/GYN sites

It's right on their Web sites...

Visit this site, read paragraph 2 and notice the word global.  It doesn't appear they are trying to hide anything.

Some different sites here too . .

These help me:


For City/States/Counties:  *HomeTownLocator* --  http://www.hometownlocator.com/


For Orthopedics:  Really great site.  Can use search box or click on any part of the skeleton.  *Wheeless On Line* --  http://www.wheelessonline.com/


For Medical Abbreviations:  Also has a medical dictionary, drug search and medical instrument search, but I just use it for the Abbreviations.  *MediLexicon*   http://www.medilexicon.com/


For Chemotherapy Drugs - *ChemoCare*  http://www.chemocare.com/bio/


For Medical Dictionary - *Dorlands Medical Dictionary* - http://www.mercksource.com/pp/us/cns/cns_hl_dorlands_split.jsp?pg=/ppdocs/us/common/dorlands/dorland/misc/A_TOC.htm


For Clinical Trials - http://www.clinicaltrials.gov/


Those are some of what I use all the time. 


 


thanks a lot for these sites
I appreciate you taking the time to give them to me!
But, I can access all other web sites
So, would it really be my Internet Explorer causing the problem???

I use to go to this one web site where I could always log on even during them updating the site but many others could not - some could, some could not. I just have a feeling this may be the same type of thing - something with the website itself or else I would have problems with other websites, wouldn't I? I can access any other website I want but this particular one - wwww.weightwatchers.com

I thought maybe I needed to clean out my cache or whatever as they may have changed something where it keeps using something on my computer that is old/no longer valid in order to access the site but wouldn't everything I have done so far have eliminated a possible problem such as that??? I did not actually go in and delete anything in any cache so I don't know if that may need to be done yet and, if so, I have no idea where to go and/or which one(s) I need to do that with.

Thanks so much for trying to help. I sincerely appreciate it.
Any of you pet lovers seen these sites?

So cute, and so addicting!


Thanks for the sites. I have a question...
I have avoided calling Dell to ask for help with certain issues because I cannot understand them. If I ask them to transfer me to a US office, will they?
cancer sites
I usually use the NIH-National Cancer Institute site. It has listing of clinical trials, types of drugs, different types of cancer treatments. I also depend heavily on the Oncology Word Book by Stedman.
The other sites might as well not exist
They are so self censored that they won't give a company's name, so they might as well not exist. MTStars is the best board on the internet for FREEDOM OF INFORMATION. Posters may say that people are negative on this board, but they are honest and realistic. The other boards are so full of Pollyannas they are virtually worthless -- INCLUDING boards you have to pay by the month.


if they use the BOS on offshore sites.
If so, the AAMT must be making a killing.
I just checked out both of these sites and
there is no rsp.com and the other said the site was under construction. I have heard that VA jobs are the jobs to have, though. Good luck!!
At my clinical sites,...sm
the physicians' handwritten orders are transcribed by the unit clerk into the MAR (medication administration record), or if they are using Meditech they get transcribed into Meditech, again by the unit clerk. Nurses are very savvy on drugs and doses and are expected to question anything that is, well, questionable. A nurse is liable for administering the wrong drug even if the doc ordered it wrong. Both clinical sites I have been at so far were Magnet status - that is a hospital that has undergone extensive credentialing to show superior nursing care. Magnet hospitals have the lowest nurse:patient ratio, which has been directly linked with less deaths and better patient care... just my two cents.
Drug sites

What are some favorite drug sites?  Thanks in advance.


Drug sites
My favorite is rxlist.com
?Rheumatology sites sm
Anyone know any good links to rheumatology sites? Appreciate your answer(s).
I use a couple of sites
www.ama-assn.org and
www.revolutionhealth.com

Hope these help.
