5.0 out of 5 stars This book is great for nurses!, June 3, 1999

marlyn@nternet.com (COVINGTON,LOUISIANA:USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Medical Abbreviations: 14,000 Conveniences at the Expense of Communications and Safety (Paperback)

This book is supposedly reccommended for persons employed in medical records, however, this book is also great for nurses, pharmacists, or anyone who is frequently reading physicians sloppy and abbreviated orders! It has been an excellent addition to my collection of books. It's also small enough to carry to work in your pocket.

5.0 out of 5 stars Medical Abbreviations great guide for coders, February 10, 2000

Sophielei (Oconomowoc, Wisconsin) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Medical Abbreviations: 14,000 Conveniences at the Expense of Communications and Safety (Paperback)

I am a medical records coder, and this handy little book sits right next to my ICD-9 code book. This is the 3rd book (edition) I've purchased. My first one had 8600 entries (1992).

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Medical Abbreviations: 15,000 Conveniences at the Expense of Communications and Safety (Paperback)

If you're in the medical field, you use and see a lot of abbreviations that may be confusing to you. Even seasoned med records techs/transcriptionists can use a little help when it comes to the sometimes confusing terms. Is Pt patient or prothrombin time or platinum? And what does "R" mean in relationship to the records you're looking transcribing? This book clarifies these abbreviations and a lot more. A helpful book for anybody in the medical field.
