5.0 out of 5 stars This book is a must-have for the OB/GYN transcriptionist., September 5, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Stedman's Ob-Gyn Words: Including Neonatology, Pediatrics, Genetics (Stedman's Word Book Series) (Paperback)

I have recently started working as a medical transcriptionist for several OB/GYNs. This book has been invaluable to me (and would be to anyone new to the field) because it not only lists each word, as a medical dictionary does, but also lists phrases as you would hear them, and matches words that would follow or preceed other words. When the doctor mumbles "lichen ___" I can just look up "lichen" and find 10 choice phrases that would include this word. This book has made my job much easier for me.
