Sue's Review

This book is in very good shape. The delivery was fast. I am sure I will be using this book for years to come.

Ditto below review

Many transcriptionists do not work just for one specialty like OB/GYN, but cover hospitals and clinics where many types of work are done and dictation must be transcribed. I have a shelf full of Stedman's books, and this is one that I refer to often. While much of my work is in heme-onc, that includes a couple of GYN heme-onc specialists, and so the book gets quite a workout.Although the other review here is several years old, I cannot say "ditto" enough to the comments provided by that reviewer. Stedman's books, in general, are very helpful for the MT, and they update their publications on an ongoing basis. The hundreds of pages of cross-referenced terms specific to this field will be very helpful if you need correct terminology and spelling, etc., and are unconcerned with definition, photos, etc. These are just word books, and Stedman's books excel within that niche of the medical publishing marketplace.

This book is a must-have for the OB/GYN transcriptionist.

I have recently started working as a medical transcriptionist for several OB/GYNs. This book has been invaluable to me (and would be to anyone new to the field) because it not only lists each word, as a medical dictionary does, but also lists phrases as you would hear them, and matches words that would follow or preceed other words. When the doctor mumbles "lichen ___" I can just look up "lichen" and find 10 choice phrases that would include this word. This book has made my job much easier for me.
