Question regarding use of reference books....I've been working for the same transcription company for 10 years and have kept very busy in that time, but as of the last six months, they have lost accounts and work has dropped off significantly. I applied for a job last week that asked me which reference books I currently use. To be honest, I haven't renewed any of my reference books in about 8 years, as I found it to be much, much quicker to locate terms via the Internet if you ...

Hi all, I have a bunch of Stedman's word books that I don't want to go through the trouble of selling. I just want to maybe donate them somewhere in one swoop, but where would one donate something like this? I am not wanting to ship them anywhere, either. Any ideas, smart people? I stopped updating my books some years ago when our pays weren't what they were before that, and also with the Internet they weren't as big a necessity as years prior. I never updated all of ...

Okay, are Word Books still being used these days? I am beginning a unit on dermatology and having a difficult time with some of the expressions/words, etc. If they are, what is the recommended Word Book? From what I've seen online the books seems to be outdated? Thanks for any input. ...

Gotta love the daily tips for reducing your QA submission. We can order books at a discount and have it payroll deducted. Cool! Let's see, I think I can do without electricity for a while. There was a time when this "perk" was fine, when we made more money. If they start offering food stamps, then they will have my attention. ...

Hello, MTs! I am back for another question! I do have a list of books I'm interested in purchasing from either Dorland's or Stedman's medical dictionary to Merck Manual's of Patient Symptoms (the list goes on, but I'm just naming a couple). Google is so wonderful when it comes to researching when you don't have anything, but I feel it's not completely reliable as having hardcopy materials. Out of curiosity, what book(s) can you not live without or work without ...

Meant to post in the word help section. Hopefully it gets moved. Sorry. I have been a clinic transcriptionist for 14 years in all specialties but have very little hospital experience and no experience with OP notes. I started a new job this week and was asked if I wanted to try hospital/OP notes so I said sure. I figured since my production and accuracy were going to be lower due to the new platform, account specs, dictators, etc., it would be as good a time as ...

Hi all, I recently left Andrews School, I wasn't able to succeed in the course. I have the books and materials still from the course. What's the best way to go about selling it? Should I use ebay?

For you all who do OP notes, what resources do you use to find the surgical equipment? I have been an MT for quite a while, but I have just started doing OP notes and thank goodness I have access to other reports, but sometimes it takes a while to wade through so many reports to find a similar one. So, I figured it might be easier to have a book at hand that had many of the instruments. If you all have books, which ones do you recommend? Thank you in advance! :) ...

I am looking for a great ophthalmology reference book, know any? Thanks ...

My reference resources are starting to show their age and I've decided to update them this year. I would like an opinion as to what is really worth the $$. Ability to use within Word 2010 is a plus and CD's are preferable to books. *Saunders Pharmaceutical Word Book ($41.95) vs QuickLook ($49). I currently have Saunders and really love it due to the fact that it regularly self-updates, shows methods of admin, dosages, gen/Rx, and indications for use, but is expired now and drugs are ...

I have been looking for several books and noticed that Stedman's site has a lot of their reference books in the form of CD and that there is also a Stedman's online site. Do any of you have any opinions that you can offer as to the best investment? There's only about a $5 difference in price each regardless. Thanks ...

Now that I have your attention . . .it is THAT TIME of year again. Before you order your 2013 code books, remember that there is only one ICD-9 diagnosis code change for 2013. You do not need to buy a new book this year. Just get the change from the CDC website and add it by hand. Same with the procedures. There will be a gazillion CPT changes, sad to say, so get a head start on those. The CPT books should be available soon, if not already. The AMA publishes ...

I was just wondering since each year the coding books are updated, what do hospitals do with the previous year's books? There hasn't been an update to ICD-9 since 2012? Correct? Thank you, PT ...

I am going to receive 2 DVDs from a client containing focus group videos. I use Express Scribe for my clients. I have never transcribed a DVD and am wondering if there is a way to use Express Scribe for this. Researched this and found no helpful info. Has anyone done this, or is there another free program that I can use for this? Thanks. Lynn ...

This might be considered controversial, but has any MT out there used a VR program to "transcribe" dictation instead of actually using a keyboard to transcribe? So I am not misunderstood, I'll be very literal here: As the MT, you listen to the dictation and instead of typing it out, you speak what you are hearing into a VR program on your computer to produce the "transcribed" report. I can't be the only one out here who has thought of this and the only reason I can co ...
