An incredibly helpful book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
I am a nursing student, and this book has saved me many times during clinicals, especially when reading the physician's progress notes in patient's charts. Almost every abbreviation I have seen in the hospital setting is listed in this book. It also has normal lab values in the back and a section that cross-references the brand vs. generic names of many drugs. The pocket size makes it easy to carry around as well, unlike some other reference books.
A wonderful book

If you're in the medical field, you use and see a lot of abbreviations that may be confusing to you. Even seasoned med records techs/transcriptionists can use a little help when it comes to the sometimes confusing terms. Is Pt patient or prothrombin time or platinum? And what does "R" mean in relationship to the records you're looking transcribing? This book clarifies these abbreviations and a lot more. A helpful book for anybody in the medical field.
Best med abb book around

This is a great resource for anyone in the medical field i.e clinical research, nursing, pharmacy, administration, anywhere. We issue this to employees in our company and it is highly sought after. Having previously purchased Editions 7, 8 & 9, we think Edition 10 is extremely useful.
Medical Abbreviations great guide for coders
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I am a medical records coder, and this handy little book sits right next to my ICD-9 code book. This is the 3rd book (edition) I've purchased. My first one had 8600 entries (1992).
This book is great for nurses!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This book is supposedly reccommended for persons employed in medical records, however, this book is also great for nurses, pharmacists, or anyone who is frequently reading physicians sloppy and abbreviated orders! It has been an excellent addition to my collection of books. It's also small enough to carry to work in your pocket.
