Description
This is the timeless, easy to use resource, now revised and expanded. Over the course of thirty years and 350,000 copies, "Quick Medical Terminology" has become the reference of choice for health practitioners who need to expand, improve, or refresh their medical vocabularies. The Fourth Edition features new review exercises and tests, an expanded table of contents, new illustrations, and an accessible new design, keeping the classic medical reference up to date for the present generation of health workers. Using a unique word building system that begins with a review of the Greek and Latin word roots the building blocks of nearly all modern medical terminology, this self teaching guide allows readers to understand the simple logic behind hundreds of seemingly incomprehensible words. Nurses, medical secretaries, receptionists, transcribers, office managers, and lab technicians will find "Quick Medical Terminology, Fourth Edition" to be the most reader friendly and comprehensive medical desk reference available.
