 good book February 16, 2008

 Good for novice September 28, 2007
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 September 10, 2007
This book should be used by every student who is learning terminology. It is easy to understand and uses simple language.
