Average Rating: 
Rating: - Decent book
What can I say, its a mini version of The Language of Medicine. It has all the terms and test and abbreviations. I have not had a chance to use it yet, but my professor who has been in the field of translation and interpreting for 16 years now, swears by it. Its even a great book to have if you are a native English speaker but cannot understand the medical mumbo-jumbo your doctor is telling you.
Rating:  - Hidden costs
I do love the book and CD itself, the book is very thorough and has alot of excellent illustrations and reviewing material. I do wish the website services were free and was supported by AOL, but otherwise this is a fantastic book and thank you.
Kindest Regards,

Rating: - Great book to have handy
I am a student studying to be a medical assistant and this book is wonderful. It is small enough you can carry it to every class with you and will be helpful when you join the workforce. It has alot of information like abbreviations, acronyms for healthcare organizations and much, much more.
I like the price as well. Medical books are usually very [costly] but this is exactly what I was looking for at a great price.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone.
