5-0 out of 5 stars I own it, I love it!! Could not code without it!!
This book has been a big help to me in my coding career. I use it almost everyday depending on how the doctors write their orders. I went without it for a few years and when I finally bought it I wondered what was I doing without it.

I recently purchased Medical Abbreviations ISBN 9780931431135 which has only 28,000 medical abbreviations because I thought I lost my Jablonski book. However, when I found the Jablonski medical abbreviations book in my desk drawer at work, I wish I could send the one with 28,000 medical abbreviations back because Jablonski has over 55,000 abbreviations. However, I am keeping them both and hoping that the one by Neil M. Davis will be useful somehow.

5-0 out of 5 stars good all around reference
I researched many different books and choose this one.It is the most comprehensive acronym/abbreviation book that I have been able to find.I've been waiting for the latest version to be published and have not been dissapointed.It is all that I expected and is among the best.

4-0 out of 5 stars Cutting It Short
I do not think that I will ever outgrow the need for Jablonski's book despite how medicine will evolve through the years. There will always be someone writing a medical term either as an acronym or abbreviation, and I will refer to Jablonski in order to understand what was written.

That's the positive side of this book. On the other side there are a couple of things that need to be mentioned. One is that for all of the definitions that Jablonski gives, there are still others that he left out. For example, take the acronym RAD. Jablonski gives about ten meanings, but "reactive attachment disorder" is not one of them.

The second is that Jablonski does not explain his definitions. If one does not understand that "reactive attachment disorder" refers to a malfunction in the bonding between a parent and a child, one will have to seek another source.

This book is great at explaining acronyms and abbreviations. But as far as what they mean, this book is cutting it short.

4-0 out of 5 stars Comprehensive and up-to-date reference for MTs
This book just came out, so it's really up-to-date; the info is thorough and comprehensive, and I've only run across a couple of unusual abbreviations/acronyms that haven't been in here.Well worth the purchase price and invaluable to MTs and anyone dealing with medical documents!

Excellent reference for any medical transcriptionist!I've been doing transcription for many years and this book has been a wonderful addition to my reference books. The slang references outlined in red have been especially helpful, which were not available in an earlier edition.I agree with a previous reviewer in that getting updated versions is necessary.

For the TV viewer frustrated by all those arcane medical abbreviations like ER, MI, ALS, CBC, OR, EEG and EKG; the amateur sleuth who doesn't know an ADW from a CCW, or a 10-78 from 10-99; courtroom addicts who'd like to know what pleading NOLO really means; military-history buffs who can't tell a CINCPAC from a JSTAR; the novice computer owner who is venturing into the realm of NETSPEAK, CPUs and CD-ROMS; the simply curious who want to know the difference between a CAT SCAN and a CT SCAN, and what DEFIB and ATHEROSCLEROSIS mean; and everybody who's mystified by the endless stream of bureaucratic initializing that infests our world today. ...

Product Description
If you think you know what AA stands for--read on! It could be Amino Acid or Arachidonic Acid, but this book also lists acupuncture analgesic, agranulocytic angina, alopecia areata, aplastic anemia, atomic absorption and axonal arborization. Similary, PM is fairly straightforward in a political or temporal context; but could you list any of the 14 commonly used biomedical phrases that have the same abbreviation? In a world of rapid information transfer, the use of acronyms and abbreviations is increasing at a dramatic rate, and keeping abreast of the additions is difficult. This dictionary has been substantially revised and expanded, and now includes 30% new information. The main subject areas covered in the book are: medicine, biology and biochemistry, including many chemical terms frequently used in these fields. To be sure, the Dictionary of Biomedical Acronyms and Abbreviations will be of great value as an aide-memoire to all those involved in biomedical literature. ... Read more
