Subject: I usually look around the internet for a picture of the bottle sm

If I can SEE the bottle and see how it is written on the actual bottle, then I take that as "gospel."  In this case I looked around and had no luck finding a picture of the bottle but did find some pictures of the SennaLax pills.  It is my thought that the "S" at the end may indicate syrup.  Is this person a child??

What I do is I put the little feet up on the keyboard - underneath the keyboard on the underside of keyboard are 2 little feet - to have the keyboard now on a little slant (a regular microsoft keyboard) and I try to remind myself to not strike the spacebar as hard as I used to with my right thumb (am right-hand dominant). 


Hope you feel better soon in those hands (my hands feel like the hands of a REAL old person inside them from pounding on some keyboard for pretty much my entire life, piano first for 14 years, then a typewriter, then 5 years I worked in kitchens pounding it out on butcher blocks with knives, then back to MT work commencing in 1980 - so yeah, my hands, while they look young, feel inside like the hands of someone in their 80s!!).

by investing in some MT reference materials. It's much easier (and much, much faster) to look things up that way, and learn as you are researching. Also suggest your getting someone to mentor you 1 on 1. This job is tough enough!!

Are you the same Rebecca who was a surgical tech for 8 years?

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!

The most basic medical terminology course (my first course 27 years ago) teaches all about the *o* use as a connecting letter for words in medical terminology.  If you haven't even learned that yet, how is it exactly that you are an MT?  *very curious*

presents for evaluation of chronic cough with peripheral eosinophilia and abnormal CT of the chest, per report (thickening of the bronchial wall).  The constellation of findings is suspicious for chronic eosinophilic pneumonia or allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.  However, the patient does not have a prior history of asthma and per report, the chest x-ray or chest CT did not show any pulmonary infiltrates.  She does not have an extensive history of travel to suggest “ham et ic” infection.  However, she traveled through Brazil many years ago.  The IgE levels are elevated but not the point to suggest allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis.

It means no biopsy or imaging or other testing was done, but on palpation, lymph nodes felt swollen.

If you have ever gotten very sick and it turned out to be strep throat, mumps or mononucleosis, and maybe before going to the MD, your neck hurt, so you reached up and found your nodes to be swollen. Your MD would call these clinically swollen lymph nodes. :o)
