Dictionary of Medical terms

This dictionary is invaluable in understanding the doctor's written diagnosis of any condition. The doctor's understand the meaning of the medical terminology but it is helpful if we non-medical patients can understand just what the doctor is stating about our health condition.

Excellent reference guide

My wife uses this book on a daily basis and it help clear up medical terminology for us.

Handy and Informative

I am in school now for Medical Administration and this book is very thorough with both definition and terms that aids with my studies.Highly recommended.

great !!!!

The best thing about this dictionary, apart from its clear definitions, is the wealth of drawings - not only of anatomical parts but also of many physiological and biochemical processes. I love browsing through the dictionary and looking at the drawings - more terms stay in mind when you see their pictorial representations.
