I certainly recommend Stedman's Word books to anyone in the medical transcription field. They are a "must have" for your reference library. Thanks Amazon for offering these books on your book list.
Fine addition to my collection of MT reference books.:
Highly recommend if you are looking for useful addition to MT word books. Use it daily. Very easy to use. This is what keeps me going.
Excellent resource:
I recently took a job in cardiovascular biomarker research and found that this book was an excellent resource -- not just for the cardiovascular terms, but also the genetic terminology! I use it frequently, since spellcheck doesn't recognize any of these specialized terms.
Stedman's Cardiovascular Words Ref. Book:
I am a medical transcriptionist and I can HIGHLY recommend this book. It paid for itself within the first week. If you are specializing in cardiology, this is the book to get.
