Neurology & Neurosurgery references - New clients


Posted: Feb 26, 2010

I am picking up a new clinic and I am hoping those of you who have been doing Neuro/Neurosurg might be able to suggest some of your favorite links for these specialties.  I am very excited about the new clinic, but pretty nervous too.  There is so much to learn.  

Any ideas on where I can find the best references in these fields? 

Thanks in advance....

E-mail me and I can send you - ORMT

some attachments of references that I use (in PDF and Word format). I find Stedman's Neurology & Neurosurgery Words very useful along with Stedman's Psychiatry Words and Stedman's Orthopedic & Rehab Words (get latest editions if possible); I cannot do without them.

I've found this site quite handy for neuro/neurosurg as well as PE, ROS, mental status, ortho word help, etc. There are some cool search engines in there too, has come to my rescue countless times. Here's the link.

I have had NUMEROUS MT jobs and I usually "jump ship" when things get bad, work runs out, etc., and it has gotten to the point where I have no references that I feel would say positive things.  Does anyone else have this problem?  I am actually trying to get a job in the "outside world" but everyone wants "references" and it is hard to explain that these transcription companies are not even in my same state, they no absolutely nothing about me, so it makes it very difficult.   ...

About References. MT Over 25 Years And Have None
Mar 25, 2015

I initially went to work as an MT in-house for a practice in 1990.  They outsourced to a company that I went to work for in 2000.  The medical practice was bought by a hospital, so switched their work to another facility.  I continued to work at home for CyMed.  They were sold to SPi, who eventually closed shop.  I left in 2009 to work for Meridian Health Solutions.  In 2013, Meridian sold out to MM, and here I sit at MM, who states they ONLY verify employment, and ...
