Stedman's Medical Terms and Phrases Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book is amazing. It's from Stedman's so of course it's very user friendly and up to date. It takes words and phrases of all specialities and puts it into one concise book. It's thumb notched (as the book is pretty big) making it easy to get to each section. It's also cross-referenced (for example, looking up SUDDEN cardiac death, also under sudden CARDIAC death, and sudden cardiac DEATH. Hear some type of classification or scale, but can't make out the word? No problem, just look under either of those headings, and all types are listed, from all specialties. I would compare this book to the very pricey Medical Phrase Index (which is listed as one of the references in making this book) that is used primarily for coding and billing. There is also a very handy appendix that lists commonly used abbreviations. I got an incredible deal for my book from an amazon seller, making it all the better (and it was new). This is a necessity for a medical transcriptionist, and I would imagine a life-saver for any new MT student. Seriously, if you're a transcriptionist, you really shouldn't be without "the big purple book."

Stedman's Medical Dictionary for the Health Professions and Nursing, Illustrated, Sixth Edition (Stedman's Concise Medical Dictionary) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My review is not based on a comparison of other medical dictionaries. With that in mind, this particular dictionary (book) is easy to read, has good illustrations, and about 30 pages of excellent human anatomy diagrams in the middle of the book. The CD is, as stated, a bonus; have not found a need to use it, but good to have. What I do not like about this "book," is that it was printed as a short, thick book. It would have been better to have a wider/thinner book, rather than a short/thick book; the illustrations wouldn't be so small otherwise. Finally, I like that the dictionary has ABC tabs to make finding a word quick and easy.

Stedman's Medical Dictionary Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Good dictionary. However, there are better ones (particularly Tabers). I have less physically attractive medical dictionaries with no color and a boring cover that seem to have the definitions I am looking for when Stedman's doesn't. Adequate dictionary but perhaps Taber's in a better value.
