[from the book of the backcover]

A couple of items in one chapter were incorrect and I was a bit confused about the correctness of the statement and facts. Otherwise, not a bad choice of workbooks. It is a required item for the online course I registered to take.

We bought this product as means to better our future. Along with a on line, class we hoped this medical book & cd rom would steer us in a proper direction. This book and cd rom came 4 weeks late. When the item arrived, the cd rom, that was included was cracked and is no use to us. I emailed the seller to explain, and in hopes of getting a fully functional cd rom shipped to us. No response. I've emailed twice, no reply. Buyer beware! Terrible! Incomplete! Do not waste your hard earned cash purchasing anything from this seller. This seller is the reason why on line purchasing can be a one sided affair and a poor experience!

I ordered this product on June 10 and did not receive it until June 28. Very slow. I wanted to start my class asap but your slow processing held me up. Very unhappy about this and will be cautious about ordering again.

I am finding this a problem with many of the reviews here. The book is ok but apparently there is a lot of information on the non workable CD that came with the book. This CD is referred to throughout this textbook. I am finding myself accessing the internet for information that I feel the book should provide. This book and CD need to be updated. I had to purchase this book for the online course I am taking but I dont find the book as helpful as it should be for the price I paid for it. If you will go to the website stated in the book, it has a helpful audio section on how to pronounce these horribly long words. Prentice Hall I am disappointed in your incomplete product.

I am very pleased with this book, its going to help me a great deal.
Would like to thank you for sending the book so fast.

The workbook is useful and simple to use, however, the cd/dvd which is used to accompany the workbook is very tempermental. It doesn't appear to be compatible with Windows Vista and while it sometimes works with Windows XP, it does occasionally have to be unistalled and reinstalled as it keeps coming up with errors (something do to with specific fonts which the program requires, but which don't seem to be readily availble or already installed on Windows XP.)

This book really helped me in furthering my career to become a Certified Medical Assistant.

No CDR was shipped with my order. I was promissed one and it was not included, Do not order from this shipper/supplier EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!! Plus, the shipping was very slow!!!!!!!!!!
