I purchased this book with not much expection after reading the previous review, but was very surprised by the amount of information in this book. Regarding the style, I think the reviewer was referring to the 5th edition which is the one I have. However, if you know the updated format, then you are all set because only the format needs to be changed alittle, but the terms are the same. It is a very detailed book which include examples on how to prepare a medical transcriptionist resume', flyers, writing job description,a full appendix of sample documents, detailed information on punctuations, medical terminology, styles and rules of typing medical documents and other medical corespondence and a whole lot more. I have the older edition, which also has answers to the practice exercises and it comes with a practice CD as well.

This is a complete book on medical transcription. It has many examples of different types of transcribed medical records and even takes you on the topic of preparing your resume' for your interview. A friend of mine has the 6th edition and there is really not much difference. The CD in the 6th is much better than the 5th though because it has CMT/RMT examination tools and transcriptions snippets. However, I have the CMT Review Guide so I could live without the new edition,s CD.

This book is pretty outdated for the most part especially with much of the formatting that it uses. If you use this book you should make yourself aware of the new industry standards via AAMT Book of Style.

However, this book is very good for learning or brushing up on your grammar skills, and it has some pretty helpful lists and things that you can pull out and place in a notebook.

Medical Transcription Techniques and Procedures with CD-ROM, Sixth EditionThis is my second Medical Transcription book that I've ordered from Amazon. The books are great,but it is the CD Rom that is difficult to work on the computer so that you can use it.The reason I bought the books are to use the CD Rom for practice and to keep up with my skills.But overall the book is a great study guide and I am sure that the CD Rom will be too.

This book was described as used but was in perfect condition. I was very impressed with the short time it took to receive this book.

I was pleased with the delivery time and with the book itself it was exactly what I order for and in great condition. I will definately order agaun from this buyer.

I think it was a good decision to get this book. It was just what I had hoped and more. Well organized information in an interesting presentation.

It does cover grammar, proper punctuation where needed, capitalization and so on. It is a good book for the medical field of office workers and transcribers.

I'm happy to say that my first experience purchasing a book online went well. I was a little disappointed in the condition of the package when it got here, it was pretty ripped up. Maybe a tougher packaging option could have been used. The shrink wrap on the book was even a bit torn, but thankfully the book was just fine. I will definitely order again; I am pretty happy with my experience.
