Dictionary of Medical Derivations: The Real Meaning of Medical Terms Books

Product Description
This dictionary clarifies the original meanings and right use of the 500 Greek and Latin words and word parts that make up 98% of all medical terms used today. It stimulates better, quicker comprehension of medical language with less grinding memory work and is the ideal way for students to learn how medical words are formed from Latin and Greek roots and how to hypothesis a medical vocabulary for both ancient and new medical words. It shows how to break long medical words into their simple Greek and Latin roots and helps solve the mystery of medical jargon by supplying a logical system for understanding language. Also, it is the first work of its kind to open up access for doctors to understanding the whole of medical language, regardless of specialty. And because it is a really new dictionary readers can be balanced of learning right etymologies and right meanings instead of the notoriously inaccurate and misleading derivations copied from one so-called standard dictionary to the other over the years.

Example: “cholecystectomy”: chole = gall + cyst = bladder + ec = out + tomy = cold; so cholecystectomy is the surgical excision, or cold out, of the gallbladder!
