"Uniform medical terminology is a critical part of the language used in all health care fields. From the language used by doctors and veterinarians to transcriptionists, drug and equipment sales reps, and even attorneys and insurance caseworkers, every medical term has a standard pronunciation, definition, and spelling. Medical Terminology For Dummies gets students and interested readers up to speed on medical terminology fundamentals, helping them master definitions, pronunciations, and the application of terms across all medical fields. Once people understand medical prefixes, suffixes, and root words, they can use this knowledge to approach even unfamiliar medical terms with confidence."--From the publisher.
