Must-have for transcriptionists:
As stated by the other reviewer, yes, this is a list of words. That's why its title says "Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Words." If it were to include definitions, it would be a dictionary, not just a word book.
As such, it excels. I rate it less than 5 stars only because there are several other Stedman's books that I use on an almost daily basis while this one doesn't come in handy quite as often; however, for such necessary items as microorganisms and lab abbrevations this is indispensible.
Not a dictionary:
This book is a list of words in alphabetical order. It is not a dictionary. Lists acronyms, etc., for medical transcriptionists.
