Great book for complicated medical terminology

This book is awesome!!! I loved how easy it made learning medical terminology. I used this book myself before starting nursing school and what a difference it made. By using this book I was able to understand various medical diagnoses before actually learning about them because of the prefixes, root words etc. I would get this book for anyone entering the medical field. It is a lifesaver.

Surprisingly good

I was not expecting this book to be so helpful. This book breaks down medical terms into root words. This means that as long as you know the root, you will be able to understand new medical terms (even if they are not in the book!). I was surprised how much I learned from this book. It has excellent coverage of all fields of medicine. The book has flashcards, but the real strength is the practice exercises. I sometimes refer back to the book (instead of a dictionary) because it tells you why the word is used. This book is good for anyone wanting to learn some medical terminology on their own. The chapters are manageable; I was able to work through all of the exercises in a month.
