I do a lot of wound care and hyperbaric therapy reports. Does anyone know of good sites on the internet with word lists, dressings, etc that would be helpful for this? I can't seem to locate a whole lot. Thanks for any help.

Could anyone give me an insurance or maybe licensing website that shows where hyperbaric
oxygen therapy is located? Need one close to where I am considering moving to. Thank You.
did you google for hyperbaric oxygen in ***, name of town or county where youre moving? sm
might have to start wtih the state and narrow it down from there, too.
wound closure
I know this is the wrong board, get error message on word board.
"The wound was cleaned, dried and then layers of s/l Indermal were applied"
When I wound up in the hospital...
On Thanksgiving Day, 1998, when we expected family and friends over for the day, wound up in the hospital with almost a white-out of my lungs due to my excessive smoking after going home to transcribe. I spent 2 weeks, given steroids, gained 20 pounds on that, but the worst of all was the Theophylline they put me on. I could not sleep for 2 days, sweating, my bed linen, bed clothing, etc. wet, so uncomfortable and swore if I could get off of this medicine, would never smoke again and never did. I hated the Theophylline more than I loved the smoking and I smoked a lot....like 2+ packs a day, quitting cold turkey. I looked like Puff the Magic Dragon with the steroids and hated that. Really bad experience.
I also did it for years, but I wound up sm
letting my CMT go and not renewing. It never did me a hill of beans worth of good but the satisfaction I got from the continuing education was great. Unfortunately, not much of that left anymore and the CMT really never did get me anywhere money wise but it was satisfaction for me. I came in at a time when lots of folks were "grandfathered" into the CMT but I got mine by taking the test back in the 80s! Glad I did it but I can't say I want to do it anymore and I wouldn't advise a newbie to do it either. Actually I think we should get continuing education CMT or not. I have always thought that MTs needed the CE but lots don't look at it that way. You just hang in there.

Good luck
Absolutely not! We wound up with spyware and viruses because
none of them are that Internet savvy. Oh, a popup that says it's going to protect my computer. Let's click on it! Oh, no! A virus and spyware.
I'm not risking losing my files, compromising the security of my documents, or spending valuable time cleaning up their messes. I bought myself a new computer so they get the old one now.
EEWWW SM, got any salt for her wound? MUST BE QA, or I should say QuAp

Doesn't tequila help in wound healing? Or is that heel wounding...
Kinship care versus foster care/adoption
Having been placed in a position where I now have custody of my 3 YO granddaughter and going through the legal system, I sought an online network of relative caregivers for children. I would encourage you, especially since you are in Georgia, that if you take any children into foster care with the idea of adopting them, there is federal law that requires the state to take certain actions in a specific time frame. When a child is removed from it's bio parent(s), the state is required to investigate any possible relatives who can take the child before foster care is considered, but even before that, reunification with the parents is the priority. Once a child enters the system and is in the system for 15 out of any 22 months, the state is required to find permanent placement for the child.
The problem with this is that there are case workers who may favor a foster family and do not seek out relative care. I have a good friend in Georgia who had to fight all the way to the state level to get custody of her grandson after the child was placed from the hospital into a foster care home with the promise that the foster parents would be allowed to adopt. She has now adopted her grandson, but it was a long, hard battle to get the state to admit their own interests were placed above those of the child and/or family.
If you get a child placed through the state, please make certain there is not a relative who wants that child before you get your hopes up. The courts are now favoring return of children to relatives even after a child has spent years with a foster family who hoped to adopt them.
States get bonus federal funds by complying with the time lines and being able to close the case, so some states place children in foster care because it is easier than trying to locate relatives.
Didn't mean to go off on a tangent, but I can't imagine my sweet bella going to someone outside her family.
If it was a clinic, it might have been urgent care, but it was NOT acute care. sm
Acute care refers to work in an acute care setting, a hospital, doing at least History and Physicals, Discharge Summaries, Consultations, Surgery notes, Emergency Department notes, and much more, including GI procedures, Cardiology procedures, Neurological procedures, Pulmonary Function Studies. It goes on and on and it means and acute care hospital setting, not a clinic.

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
Can someone tell me of some good OB/GYN sites out there? For that matter, any good specialty sites. I'm fairly new to transcription and still gathering good reference sites.
Thanks in advance!

Many thanks 2 U both 4 the 3 gr8 sites (sm)

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/

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!
oh, so if I don't care about my job, I "should" care
you come off as narcissistic.
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.

What are some favorite drug sites? Thanks in advance.
