Stedman's Medical Dictionary for the Health Professions and Nursing

All of Stedman's Medical Dictionaries constitute the premiere reference sources for definining and illustrating the lexicon, anatomy, pathologies, and techniques of the healing arts, including clear word roots in the form of prefixes and suffixes, highlighted cross-references, finely illuminated and representationally full-colored delineations of the most salient topics presented, et cetera.
