Very good book for fast understanding of medical terminology. I finished in five days. I did notice a few inconsistencies and one chapter test was completely wrong. Otherwise it would be perfect. If you need to get an encompassing understanding of medical terminology quickly, this book does it.

Awful set up. Rote memorization of the Greek and Latin and doesn't even distinguish between the two (it really matters). Originally had Medical Terminology from a professor of Greek and it made a huge difference in comprehension. Using this book as a refresher was unfulfilling.

Sadly, I will need to devote the next 6 months to job related study. I'm starting by brushing up on medical terminology.
