Summary: Excellent first-line reference
Comment: As a general medical transcription reference, "Stedman's Medical Speller" is an outstanding first-line choice. Distilled from the vast tome of the 26th edition Stedman's Dictionary, this has, according to the editor, 113,000 entries that not only include medical terms but also variant spellings, phrases, and some useful medical jargon. It is completely cross-referenced which is a godsend when one is trying to interpret that-all-too-frequent mumbling dictator. Excluded from this book are terms in pharmacology, pathology, biochemistry, veterinary and abbreviations.

It has several appendixes which include rules of hyphenation [admittedly not used much nowadays with word-wrap computer programs] and another on medical prefixes, suffixes and combining forms.

This 1996 Second Edition book is an excellent reference source. As a full-time medical transcriptionist, I have used it frequently and can vouch for its comprehensiveness.

Rating: 5
Summary: A Must for any Medical Transcriptionist
Comment: I have used this book at work and am now purchasing it for home use. This is a must have book for any medical transcriptionist who cares about his or her work and its quality. If you purchase no other book, purchase this one!
