Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Yesterday I went to visit my " local mentor " . She moved here a few months ago and we immediately became acquainted. She works for Edix and that was the first I knew there was such a thing as MT at home! Well, it took me about 2 weeks after we met for me to enroll in my present MT course. She has done this for about 25 years in one capacity or another. She is very supportive. I had some format questions yesterday and so I went to see her to get her expertise. She has a ton of reference books, but not many of the same ones I have aquired. I just got the new Drake & Drake and I asked her about Lisinipril. In the D & D it is NOT capitalized, but in her book it is. And there were several other things like that. I find that really confusing. When you start working for someone, how are you supposed to know what to do? Also, one of my practice tapes says Buchwalter retractor. I had it spelled Buckwalter. She told me it was Buch and found it in her equipment resourse. I have my new Stedman's Equipment Words and it is not in there anywhere. Now I see why some of you have 40 reference books. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Are you sure it's not Bookwalter, which is in the Stedman's Equipment word book? Lisinopril would not be capped as it is a generic form of Zestril (Zestril being capped as it is the brand name). In Drake and Drake (I believe as I don't have it) and QLDB (I know for sure as I have this one), if you look up the name of a drug and it's not capped it is the generic form and the brand name is listed right under the generic name you looked up. Hope this helps. Monika Local Mentor > Yesterday I went to visit my " local mentor " . She moved here a few > months ago and we immediately became acquainted.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Monika, that is exactly my point. I know lisinipril is not capped. But then why is it capped in her resourse. And why did we find Buchwalter retractor in two of her resourses and not in mine? I saw the Bookwalter retractor in my Stedman's as well, but the sound of the dictator was definately the ah sound, not the oo sound as in book. But this is what I am trying to say. Are you ever sure you are typing the right thing? I'm sure after you learn your surgery procedures you become accustomed to what you are hearing, but boy, for a newbie, I am really getting frustrated and confused. But don't get me wrong, I am loving every minute I spend on the dictations. I think maybe after 30+ years in the workforce, maybe I have finally found something I will like doing day after day.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 I have run into similar problems with where I work too. We've had conflicts with the American Drug Index (which in-house MTs use) and the Drake & Drate and the Monthly Prescribing Reference (which I use). We end up determing capitalization by determining if it is generic or not. Sharon Re: Local Mentor Monika, that is exactly my point. I know lisinipril is not capped.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 This can be confusing, but it is Bookwalter and lisinipril is not capped as it is generic. Only thing I wonder here is she has many years of experience, but is not keeping " up-to-date " with her reference material? Val Re: Local Mentor Monika, that is exactly my point.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 This actually reminds me of the MT who trained me for MT....this doc always said pt name, what pt was being seen then would say " colon " and proceed with the note. Well, although new, it did not take me long to realize that these pts were not being seen for anything related to their colon. So when I brought it to her attention and thought the doc meant : She could not believe she had been doing that for so long and no one at the clinic ever said a thing.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Hey--none of us can know everything! And on top of that, sometimes it changes. That's why we have--and consult--reference books. That's why we belong to this mailing list and consult each other. Over the past couple of years, research on this list has turned up several errors in various reference books, and that may have resulted in some of us actually losing some of our faith in references! At least twice that I can think of, a list member has asked Stedman's to verify entries in either their dictionary or one of their word books--and both times, Stedman's has admitted that they had printed erroneous data and promised to correct it in upcoming editions. Everyone on the list at that time probably made a note of the verified errors, and the newer members probably have no idea that those errors exist. They may even re-discover the errors! Is there a list forming up in the NMTC Lists of " published errors in reference books " ? If not, could we start such a list? Trisha? Rennie?

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Valeria, GREAT idea. I remember my Neil abbreviation book 9th edition had an error. Don't remember what it was now, but I posted an answer to someone and thanks to you all, was quickly notified it was an error. So, I quickly bought the 10th edition, which did not have that error.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2003 Report Share Posted January 31, 2003 Valeria, I remember just such a list being published on one of the lists last year. I thought it was NMTC and I'm sure I have a copy of it somewhere, but can't find it right now. I may have written the corrections in my references and tossed it, but I'll keep looking just in case. Maybe someone else will remember it. I'm saving your hint with the card. It sounds like just the thing to use when I get lazy or tired. : ) Dawn C. Everyone on the list at that time probably made a note of the verified errors, and the newer members probably have no idea that those errors exist. They may even re-discover the errors! Is there a list forming up in the NMTC Lists of " published errors in reference books " ? If not, could we start such a list? Trisha? Rennie?
