Customer Rating:
Summary: Great medical reference book
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating: 
Summary: Great Reference
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: great and very informative.
Comment: 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.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Would be lost without it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comment: This book is so helpful. I am taking a course in medical billing and without it, I would be lost.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Great Resource
Comment: After years in the field, getting the updated version was quick, easy and inexpensive on Amazon.
