 surgical equipment info is good
 nm
 A good website to search for medical terms, equipment, and drugs.
 A good site for word help.
 Stedman's Medical and Surgical Equipment Words is invaluable. nm
 .
 I would buy new a Dorland's Medical Dictionary, Stedmans Medical and Surgical Equipment...SM
 
 and Tessier's The Surgical Word Book, 3rd edition.  Books you could buy used I would say would be Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine and Cardiology/Pulmonary word book.  These are all the books I use the most during my day.  You could buy other speciality word books as you need them and could probably go used with those. 
 I wouldn't bother with buying a drug book, new editions come out every year and I just stick to the FDA website and RXList as my drug references. 
 Also FYI, not a book, but I use my Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictationary a lot.  It's easier to open the program than it is to pick up a huge 30-pound dictionary. Have you checked out Martel Electronics website for equipment to help with this process?
 I would think that if you rerecorded at a faster speed, the sound quality would be compromised. I think it was on www.martelelectronic.com that I saw equipment for this. Good luck.
 Stedmans Med & Surgical Equip words and Tessiers Surgical Word Book (3rd Ed).  I'd be lost
 without them.
 Anybody know of any good sites for surgical term reference? 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.
 Might also be a good idea to ship the equipment

 Anyone know of a good website
 
 that is informative about how to start an independent digital transcription business. Has anyone here written or thought about writing a book? I guess I am looking for information about how to go from being a great transcriptionist to knowing more about the actual technology involved in the business. Or is it just a learn as you go type of thing. Here's a good website
 I always go for the standard Dictaphone ones ($18.99).
 
 I hope this helps!

 Thanks...
 Does anyone know a good psych website with terms, ect?
 Thanks.
 Any MTSO find a good place for their own website?
 
 I recently received a quote for a local web design company, and it was close to $1,000! I don't have that kind of money. I would just like somewhere to tell a little bit about myself and the services I offer to Physicians. 
   
 Thanks! It's a very nice website you're having here. Increase Girl is very good Tournament: http://www

 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?
 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.
   Surgical nursing books.

 If you mean the Surgical Word Book, it's the best! nm

 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
 
   I just use the surgical word book.  There
 are three pages of bandages in there.
 Buy a Stedman's Medical and Surgical
 Equipment Words book.  One of the best references around.
 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
