MT Treasure

I was in need of a new Stedman's Path/Lab book as my other book was old and outdated. This is a must have for any medical transcriptionist to have. Recommend highly.

Stedman's word books are the best!!

As the 2-star reviewer noted, this book is not a dictionary; it's a word book. Stedman's word books are specifically designed for medical transcriptionists. Stedman's does make a medical dictionary, which is also wonderful. If you're a medical transcriptionist who's wanting to create or update your reference library, Stedman's is the way to go. The terms are listed alphabetically, of course, and these books also include multi-word terms which can be found by searching for the first word or the last word of the term. Stedman's word books also include common, not-so-common, and slang abbreviations. More specifically, this path/lab word book includes a section for normal lab values (grouped by type, i.e. blood, urine, etc.). It also contains anatomical diagrams and word histories. STEDMAN'S IS THE BEST!

So far I love all of the Stedman books I've purchased. I use them all the time.

Sue's Review

This book is in excellent shape. The delivery was fast and I am sure I will use it for many years to come.

Must-have for transcriptionists

As stated by the other reviewer, yes, this is a list of words. That's why its title says "Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Words." If it were to include definitions, it would be a dictionary, not just a word book.As such, it excels. I rate it less than 5 stars only because there are several other Stedman's books that I use on an almost daily basis while this one doesn't come in handy quite as often; however, for such necessary items as microorganisms and lab abbrevations this is indispensible.
