Comprehensive and up-to-date reference for MTs, Nov 29 2004
By E. Cunningham "nofur4me" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dictionary of Medical Acronyms & Abbreviations Book with CD-ROM (Paperback)
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!

Cutting It Short, Aug 1 2005
By Virgil Brown - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dictionary of Medical Acronyms & Abbreviations Book with CD-ROM (Paperback)
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.

good all around reference, Mar 11 2006
By Richard Halter "Richard" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Dictionary of Medical Acronyms & Abbreviations Book with CD-ROM (Paperback)
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.
