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.

This book is excellent for anyone not familiar with medical terminology class. The book includes a CD and flashcard in the back. I feel knowledgeable after reading the Chapter 1. It is worth the money.

This is a good book for an introductory level course/self-study program. It breaks down the terminology by body system (one body system per chapter), so you know what parts of the body to relate the terms to as you progress through the book. This book is nicely organized, easy to follow, and easy to understand. It is extremely helpful if you are entering the medical field. It has flashcards in the back of the book that help you test yourself, but they are not indispensable. You could make them yourself. It is by far one of the best introductory texts available.

This book is an invaluable resource for nursing students. Flash cards can be used to study anywhere! A must have for any nursing student!

Medical terminology you will use throughout your career. Back of book has perferorated index cards the prefixes, suffixes, root words and combining forms. Very helpful.

THIS TEXT CAN BE USEFUL WITH THE INCHAPTER EXERCISES. CLASSMATES LOVE THE CD. COMES WITH GOOD START TO FLASH CARDS, BUT U LEARN MATERIAL BETTER WHEN U MAKE YOUR OWN!

I love this book. It is really easy to understand and breaks down the info into easy reading. Great for both beginners and professionals.

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.

my book arrived in time. brand new, wrapper still on the outside! It's what I expected. Thanks!

This book was in fairly good shape. This the first book that I have purchased online. I really didn't know if I was doing it properly. The only problem with the book was that the identification cards in the back were gone and I did not realize this when I purchased the book. I just went ahead and made my own cards up for this course. I don't know if the book stated no cards in the back or not, but other than that it was what I needed and at a much more resonable price of course. It was worth making my own cards up for the difference.
