2.0 out of 5 stars Lippincott Medical Terms and Abbreviations, August 29, 2003

This review is from: Lippincott Professional Guides: Medical Terms & Abbreviations (Lippincott's Healthcare Professional Guides) (Spiral-bound)
I bought this book because I have no medical training or background and am currently taking an on-line medical transcription program that I have many more questions that the programs offers materials on. I was looking basically for a medical terms "for dummies" and a book that with a lot of medical abbreviations. The course tells me to make my own list and as I don't have a lot of time, I figured I would be better off buying a book. If this is what you are looking for, this book is not for you! It offers some basic terminology and I found nine out of ten times, I couldn't find what I was looking for and resorted back to Dorland's Medical Dictionary.

The one thing and only reason I would recommend this book, is at the back of the book are Roots, prefixes, and suffixes and their meaning in an alpha sort. It would be nice if they would have told the reader which category the word falls under, but I have that down pretty good now.
