5.0 out of 5 stars Medical Terminology A Systems Review, February 10, 2000

This review is from: Medical Terminology: A Systems Approach (Book with CD-ROM) (Paperback)

I received the book with CD as a gift because I will be entering the field of medicine. The book and CD are easy to follow and I have learned more than I ever expected in medical terminology.

The book is easy to follow and prepares you to read medical reports and to learn thousands of medical terms, including diagnostic, symptomatic, and surgical terms. The pronunciations help me pronounce words correctly when I talk to the medical staff at the hospital.

I recommend this book highly.

3.0 out of 5 stars There are better books out there....., March 14, 2004

This review is from: Medical Terminology: A Systems Approach (Medical Terminology Systems) (Paperback)

This book is a good introduction to medical terminology. It is not as comprehensive as some that are on the market, though. My edition did not come with a CD, but shows it as an optional tool. This book lacks a glossary and pronunciation of the medical terms. It does explain body processes in a way that makes it easy for the novice to understand, and that makes the book worth owning.
