4.0 out of 5 stars Okay For the price, April 3, 2009

When I first got my Kindle 2 I knew I would put an abbreviation dictionary into it. I am a nurse who reviews charts. This book is just okay. It is missing some of the more less common medical abbreviations used. I will probab/y use my Sanders on my job. This book is great if you are not as involved in the documentation area of the medical field. Keep that in mind if you order this book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very complete, February 27, 2009
By 
shenry (Worcester, MA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Although this book has many terms, it is not inclusive. There are many terms that are not included, like a simple LE for lower extremity or W/C for wheelchair. It also has many abbreviations that would not be acceptable in ANY facility, like TOBASH - Take Out Back And Shoot in Head. Although they may seem a little humorous, for those who are not in the medical field and look at this book, it gives the wrong impression that abbreviations like these are used, which they definitely are not.

This review is from: Medical Abbreviations and Terminology (Mobi Medical) (Kindle Edition)
This book is missing a lot of information. I do not recommend it at all.
If you need a good medical terminology book, don't waste your money with this one.
