Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mastering Healthcare Terminology, Second Edition (Spiral-bound)
Often laypeople are bombarded with medical terminology that is a mystery. This book demystifies many healthcare terms and gets to the root (Latin)of many words so readers can determine what a word means even if they do not know the definition.THis is a required book in an herbal studies class which is why I purchased it. It has helped me with my materia medicas and decode what was once a mystery.

This review is from: Mastering Healthcare Terminology (Paperback)
After placing my order and waiting several weeks for this item to ship, I contacted the seller and never received a response and still have not received my purchase. Luckily I was not charged, but I have wasted valuable time in my class waiting on this book. I do not recommend this seller AT ALL!!!
