5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent reference for medical transcriber or coder,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Charles Press Handbook of Current Medical Abbreviations (Paperback)
This paperback handbook is a compact reference for medical acronyms and abbreviations. It is small but rugged for constant desk use. There are hundreds of common and hard-to-find abbreviations that appear in doctor's shorthand and patient chart notations. Medical transcriptionists and medical coders will find this handbook very valuable in deciphering surgery and anesthesia records. I recommend this book for every medical office or homeworker.

My choice for the BEST medical abbreviations dictionary!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Charles Press Handbook of Current Medical Abbreviations (Paperback)
I am a nurse in a major urban hospital who is constantly having to decipher all kinds of abbreviations. I have used many many different abbreviations dictionaries and I particularly like this one for several reasons:1) It gives the only clinical abbreviations that are most commonly encountered in my work, so I don't have to wade through endless choices that wouldn't be applicable anyway 2) Much more accurate than other abbrev. dictionaries (you cannot imagine the mistakes I have come across in very popular dictionaries such as Stedman's and Mosby's!!). I have seen a few minor errors in this dictionary, but far fewer than other dictionaries 3)The type is large enough to read 4) Price is great So, all in all, I highly recommend this dictionary to any health care professional, and believe me, I know of what I speak!
