Guest guest Posted May 24, 2001 Report Share Posted May 24, 2001 Well folks, I gotta tell ya... I think the good MT library needs BOTH. Here's an example. I'm sitting here transcribing a bronchoscopy with wedge resection, and the doc says, " A " toofeyay " rib retractor was used.. " I had no clue how to spell " toofeyay " , so I looked in Vera under retractor.. no luck. I got out my Tessier and looked under retractor, and guess what? I found it It's Tuffier. Tessier has 21 pages of retractors compared to about 1 1/2 columns of retractors.. Not only that, Tessier lists a " Bookwalter retractor " but the correct spelling is Buchwalter. From my 14 years experience I can tell you that I think you should get both if you can afford it, and use Tessier first, and then if it's something that's new and that's why it's not in there, or if you want to know definitions, use Vera Pyle. Just my opinion. Jan " Typing is my life " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
