Description
Have you ever left your doctor's office confused by a term used to describe what's wrong with you? As a patient, you need to know what your doctor has diagnosed, what tests are being ordered, and what your medical insurance is being billed. The Patients' Guide to Medical Terminology: Translating the Confusing Language of Medicine into Easy-to-Understand English helps you take the first step towards educating yourself so you can get the answers you need regarding a doctor's diagnosis or recommended treatment. Designed for the patient who is intimidated or just plain frustrated by medical jargon, this easy-reference guide provides brief, clear descriptions about common illnesses, diagnostic tests, terms and procedures. The alphabetical listings allow you to look up a word, an abbreviation or even a partial phrase to crack the code of "medicalese." Plus, an explanation of measurements and equivalents for prescription dosage is also included.
