Reviews

[Patti Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

A good general medical dictionary for those wanting a greater understanding of atrial fibrillation through more intense study of the full length research and medical journal articles cited in 'Beat Your A-Fib: Your Essential Guide to Finding Your Cure.'

[Benjamin Uke · Rating 4 out of 5]

A personal medical reference guide you can turn to with trust. This medical dictionary contains a wealth of information on anatomical and health related articles. In it you can find just about anything you're looking for related to disease, or anatomy, or medical procedures and advances.

Notice: you may have trouble looking for the terms if you're trying to do a 'medical billing and coding certification' class for the same reason getting healthcare in the US is hard: Insurance companies like making up the very rules they play with.

4/5
It's condensed so the letters will be small to read. It's a quick-and-dirty casual reference.
