BOS changes from 2nd edition to 3rd? - Becky


Posted: Jun 28, 2011

Hello everyone.  I was wondering about the changes from the BOS 2nd edition to the new 3rd edition.  I have heard the changes are few.  Is there any way to find out what they are without buying a whole new 3rd edition book, which, from what I understand, is mostly book #2 rewritten?  I appreciate any thoughts, comments.  Thanks in advance.

Yeppers, that is an old AHDI trick, trying to squeeze as much dough out of the MT as they can. They do this in as many ways as they can.

Nov 24, 2009

Do different medical transcription companies prefer 2nd or 3rd Book of Style? Seems as if I could buy a used 2nd edition from a website such as Amazaon cheaper than the 3rd edition, but I don't want to buy an edition that is not used by medical transcription companies. Your comments, please?  TIA- Jane ...


Frustrated With The BOS 3rd Edition Being Web-based!
Dec 30, 2009

The pdf electronic version of BOS-2 was so handy and easy to use.  Wonder what made them decide to do away with that & make it to where you have to open a browser, find the link, sign in, find the BOS page, etc., for the 3rd edition.  It's so much more time-consuming, not to mention the search feature doesn't work nearly as well as the BOS-2 pdf version.  For the first time ever, I can't wait for the 4th edition because surely nobody likes this & they will g ...


Changes In Book Of Style, 3rd Edition

Since I was terminated February 11, I have been reviewing some things in case I need to apply for some MT job in the future.  When I worked for M-Modal, I was supplied with Book of Style, 2nd edition.  I now have a copy of the 3rd edition, and they say some things are changed. They say changes have been made include dropping the period after courtesy titles like Dr. and Mr.  I always typed Dr. with a period in the report.  If it said patient was to follow up with Dr. Sm ...

Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows where to find a list of all the Figures and Tables in the American Medical Association's Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment, 5th Edition?
