Read this entire book cover to cover for my medical coding course. I absolutely loved it and it was written for ease of understanding for newbies in the med field.

Completed.

Overall, a very useful and well designed book that allows the reader to comprehend medical terminology. The online interactive reviews were also helpful. The design could be improved in at least one manner: the pathology sections would benefit from consistent organizational features (bullets, bolded words) that reveal the causes, signs/symptoms, and common treatments in anything but paragraph form.
