I'm an MT with 20+ years of experience and own most of the Stedman books, which are quite helpful. However, when I cannot find a term in Stedman's, this is the reference I reach for. I cannot tell you how many times this little gem has saved me from lengthy searches for a term. Grab yourself a copy, you won't regret it.
Needs to be updated

This is a very good reference, but needs to be more current. As a medical transcriptionist, I find the most useful feature to be the clear, detailed anatomic diagrams and word lists that are included in each surgical area (general, ortho, oto, etc.) The general overview of each surgical type is also helpful. However, the surgical techniques, drugs lists, and equipment lists are very outdated. Still, I use this book in my work on an almost-daily basis.
