Medical Terminology: Learn to Pronounce, Understand and Memorize Over 2000 Medical Terms

I'm getting ready to take a medical terminology class soon and wanted to get a head start and I'm so glad I got this book. It not only breaks down what each prefix and suffix is but it helps you pronounce them. Not to mention, it breaks it down a lot better than what the textbook I had to buy does. When it comes to the explaining what each word means, it gives a better detail of what word goes with what body part. While I don't know what to learn or to expect, I looked at the textbook I had to buy and ended up being more confused that I already was. With this book, when I use it with my textbook, it helps me get a better explanation of how to break it down and how to use it in the singular or plural form. This book is definitely a great supplement book to have. Will definitely be keeping this when I start taking more of my required medical classes that are coming up.

If you are looking for a book to familiarize yourself with terms used in the medical field, this book is a great budget buy. I personally purchased this book because I like learning new terms and it was cheap compared to most up to date medical books.This book is pretty straight-forward as far as what it entails. It covers over major body/skeletal systems, equipment, and related terms involved in the medical field/environment.This book also offer correct abbreviations and pronunciations for all terms you most likely would have difficulty with included in the book.This book in my opinion would serve as a basic study guide for medical students or anyone needing a guide for terminology in general. I rate this book 3.8 out of 5. The reason for this average score is because,I think this book should include pictures to go with all the terms. Pictures would definitely help encourage retention and engage the reader. It gets to the point and its a no fuss source for anyone willing to learn new information. I love how amazon provide soo many books for such a low price. This book is actually free through kindle unlimited if your interested. I purchased this book to support the author and I love dictionaries so, why not?

This is a great reference book for looking up commonly used terms you may hear from your doctor. Rather than having to search it up on Google I now turn to this book to learn the basics when presented with an unfamiliar medical term. But keep in mind it is simply terms defined, not in depth knowledge. You will not find examples, symptoms, or treatment options - just what it is. It is presented in simple layman's terms so even the common non-medical person can understand. Definitely a big help for my household. It is a book that even my kids turn to when they have questions about what something is.

Love it. Great reference for home or professional office. As a nurse its helpful in many areas. I use it for home as well.

This is helpful as someone who has to make a lot of doctor visits. It is well organized and thorough. It's definitely a lot of value for what you pay for it. Its a good review of things you already know, and fills in the gaps, at least for me.

Has a lot of good information and definitions that haven't used it that much as I'm not attending medical billing and coding school anymore.
