I high urge this book to anyone who is studying or working in Medical Transcription. This book is very use friendly. It is quick and simple to find what you need. There are 2 different ways you can find in rank in this book. For example, lets say you were trying to find “Lachman test”. You may possibly find it one of two ways. You may possibly either look below L for Lachman. It is there. But you can also look below T for test. When you look below “test” you will find nearly 6 pages of listings and spellings of different medical tests from a variety of medical specialities. If you are just beginning your studies in Medical Transcription, do yourself a act of kindness. Pick up a copy of this book. If money is a problem, I would urge getting a used copy. But even if you pay full price and buy it new, this book is well worth the money.

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 helpful medical jargon. It is absolutely thwart-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 brilliant reference source. As a full-time medical transcriptionist, I have used it frequently and can vouch for its width.
