Medical Terminology: A Living Language

by Bonnie F. Fremgen, Suzanne Frucht

Medical A Living Language uses a carefully constructed learning system to help students master and apply medical language. Organized by body system, the text places medical terms within the context of basic A&P. Instead of memorizing terms, students learn how to use word parts to build terms so they can interpret unfamiliar language. To offer context for medical terms, each body system chapter opens with a list of the pertinent word parts and their meanings, plus an illustrated overview of the relevant organs. Through Real-World Applications, you'll get valuable practice reading real medical records and replacing lay terms with the proper terms. You'll also interpret case study scenarios that demo the use of medical terms. The 7th Edition will build your term-building skills with the help of a comprehensive list of word parts. New practice problems target spelling, your ability to form adjectives and your grasp of basic A&P.

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.
