useful book over all

i was asked to purchase this book for a class, and am impressed with the quality of the exercises contained within it. the only issue i have is that a few random combining forms or prefixes and suffixes having no definition to be found in the book at all... i've had to use the internet to look up what some of them mean. the enclosed cd-rom is also a great tool.
Medical Book

I purchased Language of Medicine. This book is great for those entering the Medical field. The pictures included are high in detail and very explanatory. Also included is a CD with more information and Medical games. The price was right as well. I've spoken to other students in my class who purchased this same book from the school's bookstore. Their complaint was that they paid $25.00 more than what I paid. I'd recommend this book to anyone studying medicine.
Medical Terminology

This is a remarkable book for anyone interested in the medical field. You don't have to be a professional doctor or nurse to use it, the language is every day understandable and can be used over and over again. If someone asked me to sell my book to them because they were going to take the class I would not do it. The illustrations are excellent in helping you learn all about the body. I will finish my class this week and intend to re-read this entire book over again because I know I missed alot of interesting facts that can be used throughout my lifetime.

this book really takes a person who knows nothing about the subject and lets them become an an expert by the time they are done
Excellent preparation for medical fields

The Language of Medicine by Davi-Ellen Chabner is the best workbook out there for learning medical terminology, and it also comes with a CD. I'm an occupational therapist and medical librarian, and the knowledge I gained from this text prepared me for both fields.
