Was looking for something crisp, and straight to the point to help me learn quickly medical terminology for the whole body both in depth and simple lay-man's so that I can go and explain these things in my own book and be able to have a source matter to use. This might just be my go to for that all.
It was exactly what I was looking for. I read chunk after chunk a day at a time for 7 sessions at my local library looking like a pre-med student myself, yet really just educating myself in what I went through in my own medical journey, both in survival and recovery. I took so many notes from this all.
It is a lot so I am glad that I spread it out for myself and yes I did realize it was indeed a text book a very good one.
