Rating:  - Sloane's MWB 4th Edition

Otherwise, very useful book.

Don't waste you money. I have been a Medical Transcriptionist for 36 years. I bought the book and so did a co-worker. Have only found one thing in there I was looking for. It has become a joke to look in the $50 word book.

Rating:  - Good book for transcription
This book helped me with vocabulary and pronounciation and it was easy to understand. However, for a more thorough look into anatomy and physiology, I recommend:
Anatomy and Physiology Study Guide: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations
(Volume 1) (ISBN: 097199919)
(Volume 2) (ISBN: 097199927)
Buy all three books to help with medical transcription
