 Great medical reference book July 3, 2008
I used one of these at my job and liked it so well that I bought one for myself when I retired. It will answer pretty much any question you have about ailments, treatments, etc.
 Great Reference July 1, 2008
This is a nice little encyclopedia. It came in handy many times during nursing classes when I was not quite sure about all of the different medical terms and diseases. I would recommend it if you are going into a medical field and would like a nice reference to refer to every once in a while.
great and very informative. July 1, 2008
While this book is very informative, I've looked up some medical words only to find them not listed. Out of say 99 words looked up, I maybe could not find 4. Not bad.
Would be lost without it!!!!!!!!!!!!!! June 19, 2008
This book is so helpful. I am taking a course in medical billing and without it, I would be lost.
Great Resource June 15, 2008
After years in the field, getting the updated version was quick, easy and inexpensive on Amazon.
