Product Description
Since the first edition of Medical Terminology: A Living Language was published it has been noted for its “clean” and logical format that promotes a seemless learning experience.  The Fourth Edition provides users with a consistent and logical system to help them build their understanding of medical terminology as it relates to the human body. This book maintains a real-world focus that relates medical terminology to various health professions, thereby capturing the users interest and providing information about potential future health careers. This information is reinforced with some key new features such as : an all-new art program carefully crafted by a medically trained illustrator;  the System At A Glance chapter-opening feature which provides a quick reference for each topic being discussed in terms of its function, organs, combining forms, suffixes, and prefixes; the pharmacology tables which have been expanded to include commonly used generic and brand names; and much more.  All health professionals and medical terminology students.

Reviews


Excellent text, excellent service
I ordered 30 of these for my Med Terms students, 2nd day delivery. They started arriving the next day--1,2,3, or 4 at a time. Don't know how they decided to do it this way, and it did make reconciliation more difficult, but all 30 made it on time.

The text itself is one of the best of many med terms books on the market right now. And the online support from the publisher is amazing. Strongly recommend the text for a body systems-based approach, and strongly recommend Amazon as the shipper.

Didn't receive item.
Item ordered got lost in the mail through no fault of the seller. Contacted seller through email and received full refund plus shipping. Thank you.

Medical Terminology
So far I have only digested three chapters of this textbook. The functional "workbook" format has been very helpful and well thought out. The study CDROM has a useful audio glossary for chapter terms. The collection of diagrams and images are applied well throughout the book. The variety of end of chapter exercises serves well as add on reinforcement for comprehensive learning.


Excellent
I purchased this book purely based on assisting me through my Nursing and I must say that I have no regrets with this book. I actually prefer it over my Anatomy & Physiology book as it is straight to the point and gives the essential information needed as well. The book also played a strong role in my medical terminology. I would recommend this book to anyone.

Exactly what I wanted
I am very happy with this book. I have the audio notes to go with it. It's a perfect system.
