Useful handbook.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Medical Acronyms, Eponyms and Abbreviations (Consumer Version) (Paperback)
This handy compendium contains over 1,500 acronyms, e.g., AIDS, SIDS, GOMER "Get Out of My Emergency Room" (not really, just kidding), eponyms such as Lyme disease and Reye syndrome, and multiple meanings for such abbreviations as "MH", which can mean malignant hyperthermia, marital history, medical history, melanophore hormone, menstrual history, mental health, or municipal hospital!Delong's work will prove useful for medical students, nurses and other healthcare professionals, medical transcribers, fiction writers, and others who want a peek into the arcane world of medical jargon. (The "score" rating is an unfortunately ineradicable feature of the page. This reviewer does not "score" books.)

Great book for anyone in the clinical field...to quickly look up indecipherable abbreviations. Covers almost all standard short forms.
