5.0 out of 5 stars Couldn't Have Done It Without this Book!, March 11, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Medical Phrase Index: A Comprehensive Reference to the Terminology of Medicine (Hardcover)

As a new medical transcriptionist coming from a completely different background, this book has proved to be more valuable to me than almost any other book in my library. If you can only catch part of a phrase or know what the word or phrase is related to, you will, almost always, find what you are looking for! The only other book that would be in my library is the "sounds like" book-set up exactly like this one!

5.0 out of 5 stars Best overall reference for medical transcriptionists, March 26, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Medical Phrase Index: A Comprehensive Reference to the Terminology of Medicine (Hardcover)

If you're a medical transcriptionist and can only purchase one reference, make it this one -- a comprehensive, interdisciplinary compiliation of the words and phrases you're likely to hear in medical dictation. This reference really shines when only a portion of a phrase can be determined due to poor quality dictation, and can save the practitioner much time and effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a MUST HAVE reference for med transcriptionists, October 30, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Medical Phrase Index: A Comprehensive Reference to the Terminology of Medicine (Hardcover)

Unlike other references, this one is all alphabetical, you do not need to know which type of specialization in which to find the term you need. Abbreviations are also included. It is very comprehensive and current in listed terms.
