Is there anywhere where all the shortforms for the different terminologies are listed???
ie: ADHD and HMO
What are they???
I'm sure there are many more I don't know as well. :(
It would help me to better understand some of these posts.
Thanks.

ADHD= Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
HMO- Health Maintenance Organization (a type of insurance where you are assigned to a group of physicians- very popular in CA-very unpopular with consumers)
I think Scott? wrote a really nice list of acronyms, but I'm certain nobody will have a problem with you asking what something means.
Take care, Judy

Hi Angel Girl--
One site that I keep on my Links list (toolbar button on IE browser) is
It's a database of dictionaries and thesauri, so it will find most words and abbreviations/acronyms. (It had both the terms you asked about.) It's "one-stop shopping", it loads quickly, and it's home page opens with the cursor already in the search box.
But, like other dictionaries, it doesn't search phrases. For that, I'd probably use the Google search box I've loaded onto my browser's address bar, just because it's fast and loads its search results in a new window. Many med terms will be defined on the first results page without having to go to the listed links.
Hope this helps---medlib

Thanks for the links. I saved them for future use. I'm sure I'll be referring to them constantly. LOL!!!
