Is there a search engine that searches just medical sites? - jen

Posted: Feb 23, 2011

I am not sure what's going on of late, but I don't seem to get relevant search results when I use G. I search for a medical word, but get results from sites that have nothing to do with medicine. I end up questioning the credibility of these search results and have to research more. Needless to say, I've been losing money spending so much more time researching words. Sometimes, I just wonder if I could have access to a medical search engine to cut out the non-medical stuff. Anyone know if such a medical search engine exists? Would love to know if it does!!

Yes, check link inside - tm

Here is the link to the search engine I use. The address is a bit complicated - you might have to copy it to your address bar.

This one just searches medical and MT websites. Have been using it the last couple of years or so, and I can testify to the fact that it does do what it says, i.e. search just medical sites.

Awesome - thank you! - sm

I tested it out a while back with a few random URLs of non-medical/general/even some adult sites that I know of. Guess what, I found them all listed in it!! So, how is this different from Google - well, it isn't!! I did the same thing with 'mt word seeker' and those results did not show up in search results. I second the other poster - if you need to have a 'medical search engine,' then use the link he/she provided. Pogofrog is another good option.

Link inside not Google - MT

The below listed paragraph is echo-dictation. This means that I am listening to the dictator and repeating what is said into a microphone.

Can anyone share the keystrokes used to alert/train the speech engine to remember a term. Example: milligrams per kilograms per hour to mg/kg/h OR really anything you want it to learn.

There are SOOO MANY conflicting opinions on the MT profession, and SOOOO MANY options for training - the more I know, the more confused I seem to be. A "training program" or an "accredited school"? Independent contractor or employee? Doctor's office or national transcription company? I attended a very informative one-day class on the MT industry. MT is a field that I have been interested in knowing more about but have not had the time to look into. Now, I am unempl ...

It has been my experience that any time a company requests that you go to their testing site to complete a test, it seems to be a waste of time in screening candidates. The audio files are extremely hard to hear and half the time the audio skips. There should be a better way to screen applicants than by using these testing sites. It is a no-win situation. You spend two hours doing their screening and trying to transcribe reports that are not the work type that they are ev ...

We ran out of TAT last week and I guess our supervisor missed out on some bonus because of it. Tightening down on schedules/hours/procedures for not showing up for work or showing up late were reiterated to us. Guess some took it seriously cause now the work is slim.

Feel relaxed now and ready to prepare a little lunch and then check back ...
