Just so you know. I thought where the both ISBN 's were there, it would have both. Had I read the entire description, I would've known. Good for class, bad for reference book. By HerroGoodbye Chances are if you are getting this textbook its because a class required it as a textbook. I've used other medical terminology books in the past and I've had much better experiences with them. While most books are typically the same, the way the information is organized differs.
Overall, you will learn the word roots, prefixes, and suffixes just like you would using most other books. I have two main issue with this book. There is nothing wrong with this and I actually liked how straight forward it was. My issue was the fact that many of the description boxes had the medical term bolded within it, so that means you cannot cover up the medical term to the left and practice reading the definition and recalling the term because its staring right back at you.
You would have to make flashcards and rewrite every medical word with every single definition, so that you can practice reading the definition. Secondly, each chapter is essentially divided up into three sections: signs and symptoms, disease and disorders, and treatments. The book has practice questions after each of these individual sections before a full chapter review. My question is why are only some of the words tested? We are expected to learn all of the medical terms and become fluent in them, yet many of them do not have some form of practice questions to reinforce them.
