[Rusty · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book was used as a reference while I was a practicing registered dietitian and, again, while I was teaching dietetics students. It's an excellent reference book for nurses, medical and health personnel, and those working in dietetics.

This is older, but still a useful reference book for medical terminology. It's written in an easy to understand way. The illustrations and tables at the back are very helpful.
