Ditto below review:
Many transcriptionists do not work just for one specialty like OB/GYN, but cover hospitals and clinics where many types of work are done and dictation must be transcribed. I have a shelf full of Stedman's books, and this is one that I refer to often. While much of my work is in heme-onc, that includes a couple of GYN heme-onc specialists, and so the book gets quite a workout.
Although the other review here is several years old, I cannot say "ditto" enough to the comments provided by that reviewer.... more info
This book is a must-have for the OB/GYN transcriptionist.:
I have recently started working as a medical transcriptionist for several OB/GYNs. This book has been invaluable to me (and would be to anyone new to the field) because it not only lists each word, as a medical dictionary does, but also lists phrases as you would hear them, and matches words that would follow or preceed other words. When the doctor mumbles "lichen ___" I can just look up "lichen" and find 10 choice phrases that would include this word. This book has made my job much easier for me.
