"Medical Billers", 2007-06-04
As a medical biller, it has made my job a lot easier, I have the same book but is about 11 yrs old so I really needed an updated version, its great, and to be honest at first I though I wouldn't use it as much as I do, but it has so much information, its on my desk all the time and I love it.

Every edition it gets bigger and better, 2007-03-23
This is my third updated edition of this book. It is incredibly helpful when trying to decipher medical abbreviations. It has tripled in size in the 10 years I have been referencing it. The editors have tried to keep up with all the changes in the medical field and they have done an admirable job. A must have for any medical/nursing student and anyone else remotely related to heath care.
