I just graduated from high school and have a few months between now and medical college. Wanting to get a head start on my studying, I tried reading some anatomy books, but couldn't seem to get very far.Then I found this book. From the first glance, I could tell that it was a lot more accessible than most other books (which are meant for people who are already in medical school or the medical profession).Medical Terminology uses a good system- instead of just spitting lists of vocabulary at you, it teaches you the meanings of common prefixes, roots, and suffixes. Learning the meanings of word parts is far more efficient than learning individual words, as it enables you to then synthesize multiple words for yourself, or "decipher" long medical terms by breaking them down. For example, once you learn that "cardio" is a root meaning "heart", and "-megaly" is a suffix meaning "abnormally large", you'll know that "cardiomegaly" means an enlarged heart.That being said, the book does also provide a good amount of vocabulary and supplementary terms.The last few pages of the book are flash cards of word parts that are meant to be torn out. I found them extremely helpful.The book's format is very reader-friendly. As you learn the word parts, there are short exercises and chapter reviews for you to do. (I photocopy these to make my own worksheets, since I don't like writing in my books.) There are also concise, textbook-style passages about anatomy or common clinical procedures, which provide you with solid basic knowledge without getting too in-depth. In addition, the book is visually appealing with nice pictures, pleasant colors, and good fonts.
