What word is used to describe a fatty tumor? Why are qualifiers
necessary in medical terminology? How does kinesialgia occur? What
does "involution" mean? With Quick Medical Terminology: A
Self-Teaching Guide, Fourth Edition, you'll discover the
answers to these questions and many more.

Using a unique word-building system that begins with a review of
Greek and Latin word roots, Shirley Steiner provides the tools
necessary for building and sustaining a large working repertoire of
medical terms. This new fourth edition helps readers understand the
simple logic behind hundreds of seemingly incomprehensible words,
featuring new review exercises and up-to-date examples. The
step-by-step, clearly structured format of Quick Medical
Terminology makes it fully accessible, providing an easily
understood, comprehensive overview.

Like all Self-Teaching Guides, Quick Medical Terminology
allows you to build gradually on what you have learned-at your own
pace. Questions and self-tests reinforce the information in each
chapter and allow you to skip ahead or focus on specific areas of
concern. Packed with useful, up-to-date information, this clear,
concise volume is a valuable learning tool and reference source for
practitioners and students who need to expand, improve, or refresh
their medical vocabularies.
