5.0 out of 5 stars Medical Terminology
Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2010

I recently started 2nd semester in college and my one class is Medical Terminology. The teacher suggested getting this book to be helpful in your studies. So I did and man am I glad I did. I would be lost without it. My teacher liked the new version(my book) she asked me to order her one, because the one she is has is outdated and I said I would. Very pleased with this book, and suggested it to others in the class that they should invest in one.

I took Medical Terminology this past spring semester at school and I used the text book, which had alot of information in it. Then when my kids got me the Fire HD Kindle for Mother's Day and I seen this book to download, I jumped at it. I can refresh my memory on medical terminolgy when ever I want without pulling out my big and heavy textbook.

I purchased this handy little pocket guide as a reference to my text two semesters ago. I am happier with this pocket guide than the text it supports. I have used this for three college course, and am still using it for my volunteer position in a SICU. I recommend this handy little guide for students in medical terminology classes or in the health information field. It serves as a quick reference and study guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars a great starter
Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2010

Taking a class in medical terminology, this pocket translator is a nifty little tool that accommodates "The Language of Medicine" quite nicely. The most used for me at this point is the English-to-medical, medical-to-English, common drugs, surgical terminology and abbreviations. There are some sections that I do not understand yet, but I am looking forward to using them. Between my kindle with medical and drug encyclopedias, and this little book, it is easy to get through an assignment!

The thing I like about this handy medical translator is that it's a small size, easy to carry for a quick reference of medical terminology. Though I have graduated already I will keep this book for future uses.

I found this book holds a lot of important information within a compact package; I like the convenience of it being small enough to carry in my handbag.
I would recommend this book for the medical career individual as a back-up of information when other books are too large, cumbersome, and heavy to haul around.

Reviewed in the United States on November 27, 2010

This is a great little companion to the Medical Language text and workbook. In the Translator all of the combining forms, suffixes, prefixes, and abbrevations are there at your fingertips. It is a great reference and small enough to fit into a pocketbook. I am presently taking a Medical Terminology course and the Translator is great to use during class.

Complete waste of money. This is just a vocabulary book not a study aide. The author should be ashamed to sell this! If you are looking for a kindle study guide this is not it. I only gave one star because there is no option for zero. I wish I could get a refund.
