5.0 out of 5 stars Terminology you need to know!, May 30, 2001
By Natalie E. Williams (Richmond, VA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have been impressed with Elaine Costello's previous dictionary, so when I heard this book was out I was ready for something great! She did not disappoint. This book uses medical terminology to provide signed translations. I have found these to be very helpful. (In fact it helped me to understand the medical terminology better through the use of signs!) I think this is a must have for any interpreter, and beneficial for many deaf people.

5.0 out of 5 stars important tool, May 29, 2007
By senninmd (TX, USA) - See all my reviews
This book is invaluable for anyone in the medical field who wants to communicate in sign. The medical term is defined and then how to sign the word is described in words as well as illustrated in diagrams. The diagrams are fairly easy to follow even if you aren't very good at translating things into three dimensions from 2 dimensions. I am very glad I bought this book.
