Guest guest Posted May 3, 2002 Report Share Posted May 3, 2002 Lynn, I'm with you. I have all the Stedman Word Books. I have been looking at the Dorland's Book series. I sometimes think that I am obsessed with books pertaining to medical transcription. I am working on radiology tapes and I have a great reference called " The Radiology Word Book " by Theresa Indovina and Wilburta Q. Lindh. I find it to be extremely helpful. Even though I have the Stedman's Radiology book, I think you should have other books also. Because Stedman's books, as great they are, do not always have the words that you need. I guess maybe I should have been a girl scout, " Always be prepared " , that is my motto. Lynn Van Couvering wrote: >I was wondering whether there's a consensus on which word books are best.

Guest guest Posted May 4, 2002 Report Share Posted May 4, 2002 Lynn, I have a collection of HPI, Stedman's, and Dorland's, as well as both dictionaries (Stedman's and Dorland's). I have always found that I may find something in Dorland's but not in Stedman's and vice versa. As you can afford it I highly recommend obtaining all the references you can. I just got in from the Colorado State AAMT Annual Meeting where we had both Saunders/Dorland's rep and a Stedman's rep (Stedman's has not deemed us worthy of their presence over the last several years). I picked up quite a few -- FYI - Stedman's Ortho will be updated in December -- June brings a new edition of the Pathology work book -- and there is a 6th (?) Edition of the Frances Fishbach Lab book available (someone was mentioning this before I left). AAMT BOS - talked to our board partner about this and this is a self-published book and there were some revisions/corrections that had to be made so it would be as perfect as possible for us, and they are planning on getting it out by the end of May. They thought that it would be ready by March - but, they had to send it back for the corrections/revisions. I am kind of brain dead right now - so will close.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 I think a mix is good, especially if you work in several specialties. The majority of my books are Stedman's (16) , but I have an ortho/neurology and Psych from HPI and Ortho and Neuro and Radiology from Dorland's. My main specialties are Ortho and Neuro. I use Stedman's the most but that could be because I get more mailings from them, they were my first books, etc. For my two main specialties, I buy all I can. For my Neuro account I have all sorts of other books that have really helped me (that aren't word books) and I have other lab and diagnostic books (that aren't word books) also that have really helped out more than a time or two. I have also used the Merck Manual a lot to track down things and it's been very helpful. I think it's a good book for anyone to have. After several years, I finally only have my Dorland's dictionary out regularly now. (Stedman's and Mosby's are on the shelf). I have three drug books and use my Quick Look the most (because I like the format best?) but would never give up the Drake and Drake one and I would absolutely never be without my MPI. I have things like: Laboratory Test Handbook, that has been very helpful; Lexicon of Psychiatry, Neurology and the Neurosciences; Diagnostic Procedure Handbook; Interpretation of Diagnostic Tests (very nice); Terminology of Communication Disorders; Principles of Neurology; Neurology for Non-Neurologists. I just think it all depends on what you're doing. Buy all you can, when you can. But, never stop making your own notebook with new terms from every source you can....online or MT periodicals. That reminds me....get all the MT periodicals you can............ so helpful! I think we're all weird about " books " . It's part of the job. Well, maybe we're just " weird " . Okay...weird and bookaholics...hey, it's okay...deal with it and buy all you can!

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2002 Report Share Posted May 5, 2002 I have to agree with you -- I generally tend to stock up on the books for my specialty - currently the day job is for a group of hand surgeons -- so just bought a second Stedman's Ortho so I don't have to cart it back and forth -- I get yearly on the Drake & Drake -- I take the last year's edition and take it to the day job. I work for a national part-time so I tend to have all specialties -- As above, I now will no longer have to cart the Ortho back and forth.

Guest guest Posted May 6, 2002 Report Share Posted May 6, 2002 I got quite a bit from Stedmans at our last CNJ AAMT symposium and will do so again this year. It falls right at the start of MT week so we get a nice discount plus some doorprizes. I just wondered about ordering their CDs as I wonder if they would have incorporated the new BOS rules yet? What do you think?
