3.0 out of 5 stars Qualified usefulness for medical transcription, Dec 2 2003

MCK Rennolds "mairenn" (GA, United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Mosbys Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests (Paperback)

I had this book recommended to me as a transcription terminology aid. It is very limited in that function. It is obviously a very good book for those who will be performing tests, but not as much so for those of us transcribing the results. It is useful for providing context to help you infer what type of test or range of results you may be listening for, but you will need a book specifically for terminology once you have narrowed it down.

5.0 out of 5 stars best for Pagana & Pagana, Mar 16 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mosbys Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests (Paperback)

I own a similar reference to this one done by the same authors and is very good but not as good as this one. I have this one available to me in two work places and I'm tempted to buy this for myself. If you need a reference such as this, get this one.

JOAQUIN VARGAS, JR., M.D. (RIO PIEDRAS, PR USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mosbys Manual of Diagnostic and Laboratory Tests (Paperback)

Excelente, lógica y pedagógica organización interna: índices, tabla de materias y orden del material. Usa fraseología simple y fácil de entender. Las explicaciones de cada procedimiento y las interpretaciones de todos los posibles resultados son excelentes. Siendo emergenciólogo, este libro me ha sido de una gran ayuda en la práctica de Medicina de Emergencia. Usa un inglés sencillo y muy medico-científico, de muy fácil interpretación. Calidad de papel, encuadernación e ilustraciones son maravillosas. Este volúmen no debe de faltar en la oficina de ningún colega, aunque sea de habla hispana.
