Customer Reviews

good book

This was a very informative book. I bought it for a friend coz she saw mine last semester. She loved it!

Good for novice

Often laypeople are bombarded with medical terminology that is a mystery. This book demystifies many healthcare terms and gets to the root (Latin)of many words so readers can determine what a word means even if they do not know the definition. THis is a required book in an herbal studies class which is why I purchased it. It has helped me with my materia medicas and decode what was once a mystery.

Mastering Healthcare Treminology, Second Edition

This book should be used by every student who is learning terminology. It is easy to understand and uses simple language.
