Fully revised and updated, with 500 new entries, this is fourth edition of a highly popular dictionary. Compiled without unnecessary jargon, the book is indispensable both as a home medical guide and as an aid for professionals in the health sector.

This book is intended for general (home reference); nurses, physiotherapists, social workers, medical secretaries, hospital administrators, radiographers, technicians, and other paramedical workers; doctors and medical students.
