This is a great way to learn medical terminology. It's easy to understand, interesting and presented in a way that makes it easier to learn than just straight memorization. I am planning on keeping this book and not reselling it, because I think it will be a great reference for future classes as well.

My son finds this book very helpful in his prenursing course which is also entitled Medical Terminologies. It is thorough and comprehensive. The root words are very helpful and the pictures are descriptive.

I just took this course at a local college and I thought this textbook was excellent. The materials are well laid out and the book includes many photos and drawings of medical procedures. The book includes the following sections for each chapter: anatomy, combining forms, prefixes, suffixes, terms built from word parts, terms not built from word parts, procedures, diseases, acronymns, and many excellent practice sections in each chapter. If you follow the layout of the chapters and do the practice exercies then you will do well in this class. Medical terminology is very logical and practical. Good luck!
THANKS FOR THE "A" MYRNA!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Before I bought "Exploring Medical Language" I knew absolutely nothing, and I mean nothing about Medical Terminology.And to tell you the truth, when I first opened this huge, intimidating, monster of a book, It scared... me... I mean, wouldn't "rhabdomyosarcoma" or "esophagogastroduodenoscopy" frighten you (just a bit) I thought, nooooo way.But I opened it, read it, did the cool excersises, listen the the audio tapes, played a bit with the CD-R.She begins at the beginning.....Little baby steps.All of a sudden... I was like, I get it! I really get it!Not only that, but I was beginning to enjoy it. The prefix, suffix, and word roots suddenely become beautiful, flowing words that make sense. Myrna LaFleur Brooks made this book come alive, interesting, and allowed medical language to become a little bit like music.Well, a little!!!! Thanx for the "A" Myrna!
