Subject: I hear ya, there! For starters, may I suggest sm

your first investing in the big Dorland's medical dictionary with definitions (or Stedman's big one--though I've always preferred the Dorland's). That will hold you for quite a while. As a matter of fact, when I started out, that was pretty much the only reference book we had.

Also, a good drug book would help you immensely--suggest Drake & Drake. Since we have the Internet, you can use that, but the book is more helpful.

After you get going, you'll be able to see what specialties you transcribe the most and then can get the word books specific to that specialty. Like I said, though, the big illustrated dictionary will carry you through for a long time.

If you do ops, I highly recommend Stedman's Med/Surg Equipment Words. This is great when looking up instruments, etc. For example, if you needed to look up a certain catheter, you would have 21 pages of alphabetized catheters listed from which to select. Beats jumping around the Internet, chancing the spellings.

The Stedman's Path/Lab book would be another good investment down the road. Those terms are sometimes very difficult to locate and there are lots of helpful tables in the back of the book.

Little by little you can build up your reference library.

BTW, when you get your reference books, you can look up terms by going to the noun. Earlier you had questioned Mallory-Weiss tear. You would find that in the list under "tear."

Good luck to you in your career!

In steadman ortho, the only time it refers to draw test is a foot/ankle test for subtalar motion.  Otherwise, they only have drawer test, not draw.  I have never heard draw used for the knee, and I have been doing ortho for about 6 years now.

Stedman's Ortho - plantarflexion
Subject: Stedman's Ortho - plantarflexion

Stedman's Orthopaedic & Rehab Words (5th Edition) has it as one word.  I could not find it anywhere in that book as two words.  Personally, this is the way that I have always typed it. 


On the other hand, if you look in Dorland's (31st Edition) under flexion, it says, "plantar flexion."


I am not sure if either way is more accepted over the other.  Perhaps client preference.


Have a nice holiday.
