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.
Post drug questions on the drug board
/
I have 2 middle age couple friends. One couple became pregnant from condom failure.
This is not just "irresponsible" behavior! Both couples are "fixed" now, because for them, reliable birth control was NOT. But it's an error to assume this stuff happens to people who are unmarried or irresponsible. Both these couples are raising 2nd families, now, but it wasn't "irresponsibility" that did them in!
DRUG ELUDING?DRUG ELUTING?

Okay...sock it to me..when I was even newer than I am now, I wrote "drug alluding stent."  QA sent a correction saying "drug eluding stent."  NOW, I see on Google, "drug eluting stent."  SOoooo, which is it, or are they both correct?  Thanks ahead of time.


Help on the drug board--osteoporosis drug?
Sorry..........thanks in advance, I appreciate it. 
What's your favorite food. Favorite in that you could only have one last meal what would it be?

Indulge me while I stare at computer screen waiting for Q work that isn't there.


I love spaghetti but only served with a great salad with olive oil and some garlic bread. Can't have pasta alone.  And needless to say a glass of red wine.  No dessert, just extra spaghetti.


 


What are you asking? Is this a drug--yes, sm

Can you help me with a drug? (sm)

sounds like "paraphosaphine".  I looked on every cancer site I knew, looked pyra, pira, fosa, phene, fene.  Couldn't find it anywhere.  Did I miss it?


 


Thanks


he was my least favorite as well, but what comes around goes
Brenda cheated on him with just about everyone, even a woman, the first season?  Still in shock.  There are three more shows left, who else is a goner?
My favorite is
tea sweetened with apple juice, maybe squeeze of lemon or lime  or  if I want to get real crazy some of that  bottled pomegranite juice!  Very refreshing and no refined  sugar.
who is your favorite?
I relate to all 4 women in some way or the other I think. I think Miranda might be mine. They are all great.
My favorite....
very tough choice, but probably Charlotte : )

The patient is alert and orientated. One of these days I'm gonna have PMS and type it just like that..... I feel your pain.... UGH !!!!!

My favorite, too, and...
you can find great sales. I always keep an extra on hand, just in case.

I had wrist/elbow problems until I started using the 4000. It's a work and a wonder!

However, now I can't type on a straight keyboard to save my soul. It's a fair trade, I think.
My favorite is...sm...

Bytescribe wav player.  I've tried Express Scribe and Start Stop.  Express Scribe doesn't have good sound, and Start Stop was very buggy.  I've heard the older versions are better.  I bought mine in December 2005.  Wouldn't work right after several install/uninstalls.  Tech support couldn't help me.  I didn't have time to send it back before while it was eligible to return.


I play DSS files, and there's a trick to getting DSS files to play really really well on a Bytescribe.  Bytescribe wav player was made for wav files.  You can email me if you want to know how to do this or call Bytescribe.  They have another program you can use that converts DSS to Wav files.  It's already on your computer if you use the Wavplayer.


I would recommend Bytescribe if you're playing Wav files and Olympus DSS player pro if you're playing DSS files, although I've never tried DSS player pro but heard it's good.


I think it's worth the money to invest in a good player.  It will pay for itself over and over again in productivity and less mistakes because you can hear better.  It also pays to have a very good sound card on your computer, especially if you're on a laptop. 


favorite and most used
The Stedman's Pathology and Lab Medicine Words, 4th edition. You can find anything in there from bacteria to blood tests, etc. love it!
My favorite one of all is

woman came in with shortness of breath and difficulty breathing after eating p___is.  It was supposed to be after eating "peanuts." 


my favorite was
when I worked inhouse at a hospital a girl that worked in medical records was talking to her coworker who also did medical records and said loud enough that I would hear "a monkey could do transcription."  I guess insecurity plays a part in this kind of talk.  They must want their job to look more important.  Sorry, I cannot think of other reasons why people talk this way. 
My favorite....
CHIEF COMPLAINT: Drunk.
and my favorite..
I love it when they think they're being helpful and spell a word but spell it hopelessly wrong!
My favorite

I really do love doing PT and OT except when they do their discharge summaries.


Why?  Because they have to list how many treatments, no-shows, and cancellations the patient had.


most of the time dictators have this information gathered before they dictate, but there's this one woman who constantly has us listen as she turns each page and counts up the totals.  So basically we hear "patient was seen... page turn 1, page turn 2, page turn 3, etc., until she gets to the total number of visits, (which can sometimes get upwards of 40!)


then she starts over turning pages and adding up the no-shows


and THEN she starts over turning pages and adding up the cancellations


oy


My favorite is the doc who either
has a conversation with other docs and/or nurses when they should be dictating, or answering a phone call while dictating. I do VR and all that garbage goes into the report, and I have to delete all of it. Of course, some conversations can get quite interesting.
Here is my favorite
http://upin.ecare.com/

I use this multiple times a day. You can put in a partial first and/or last name and search by specialty, search by zipcode, search by state, or search any combination of those. Quick and easy to use, very basic.
Ops always my favorite
from day 1. Started on ops as a beginner, still doing them and love them. Don't mind the other basic 4, but find all the meds and lab results annoying at times.
It is drug-eluting, so there QA!!!

Yes, drug-eluting...

The company I work for gives daily info e-mails and actually got one on this a few months ago - is common to transcribe eluding or alluding if you haven't heard it before. 


Drug-Eluting
As they say on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", drug-eluting............FINAL ANSWER!!!

Help on drug board please

best drug help website
Would be interested which is your fave drug reference source on the web for spellings, dosages, etc. - preferably one that doesn't result in tons of spam for illegal drug purchases - is there such a place?
Drug Screens
You are right! I would not be offended if asked to take a drug test - nothing to hide. I do not want someone having privy to my personal info who is on drugs and acting irresponsible. Had my identity stolen once, it is a nightmare to get straightened out. Don't want my SS# and other private info going to other countries either.
