Review Summary: Medical transcriptionist MUST-HAVE!
Date: 2004-11-30
Details: This book is awesome for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, it's very comprehensive--containing grammar, spelling, medical transcription-specific info, frequently misused words & sound-alikes, lab values, and much more. This is my bible, even though it hasn't been updated for a while and is definitely due. I can't wait for the new version to come out!
The spiral-bound version is a real bonus because it's so much easier to use and not lose your place.
Review Summary: Good Bargain

Review Summary: Easy to use and good examples given

Details: I am a new MT and have found this book very helpful. The table of contents (listed alphabetically - nice) is on the back cover that folds over, which I have found easy to use. I LOVE that it is spiral bound, as it only takes up half as much space on my desk. It also includes appendices for items such as problem words, genus and species names, commonly used abbreviations, etc.
Review Summary: Review of Medical Transcription Guide: Do's and Don'ts
Date: 2000-01-30
Details: I made a$36.00 mistake. This book in no way compares to The AAMT Book of Style. Some of the advice is way off course (for those who want to be certified or who work for physicians who want us to use the AAMT style) and information is too hard to locate. I personally do not like the spiral binding. It is too ackward to handle.
