Rating:  - Another Stedman must have!
If you are in the medical transcription field, you must have this book! Docs are always abbreviating things, and sometimes it can be hard to distinguish what they mean - especially for the newbie MT. It's nice to have a reference book to be able to look up the abbreviations and see if what you think it sounds like makes sense as to how it is related in the text. This was one of the first books I bought as a new MT 2 years ago, and I just purchased another one for my friend who is studying to be one. ... Read More
Rating: - Major asset to my business.
I have a medical transcription service out of my home, and I could not do my job without this book. Everyone abbreviates these days. A necessity.
Rating: - Great reference book
I have been a medical transcriptionist for more than 40 years - have taught this class in college - and was a hospital supervisor for many years.

Rating: - Stedman's word books necessary for transcription
In reading the other review here, I get the feeling the reviewer isn't using this book correctly.

Mercury should always be spelled out. Even ... Read More
Rating:  - Abbreviations you MUST know beforehand!
If you already know the abbreviation you need, this book is ok. If you need to know an abbreviation you are NOT going to like this book. For instance, need to know how to abbreviation mercury? If you don't know it starts with H...good luck. No index in the back listing mercury...page etc etc. Would have been nice.
