Medical Terminology from Head to Toe

Medical Terminology from Head to Toe takes away the intimidation factor that is thought to accompany medical terminology. This book builds up a strategy for breaking down these complex terms into the basic building blocks of terminology and, from there, building them up into understanding medical definitions. Then, distinguishing cardiomalacia, cardiomegaly, and cardiometry becomes a breeze, and confronting a word like hepatocholangioenterostomy no longer will fill the reader with dread.The emphasis here is firmly on understanding medical terminology. This book does not pretend to teach you to become a physician, a medical biller, or a sports therapist; but it does teach you an understanding of the medical terminology that is common to all these fields. Whatever area of health care you are in, or plan to be in, this book can work for anyone.
