Customer Reviews

Highly Effective Communication Tool
I am not medically qualified and am therefore unable to judge the accuracy of the translations of the many medical terms contained within this glossary. However I have no doubt whatsoever that it has greatly facilitated the more accurate diagnosis of the complex medical condition of a close friend. The medical staff here in France have welcomed the book and it has also given the patient greater confidence in explaining symptoms. Naturally, accurate diagnosis and effective treatment ultimately depend upon the skill of the various medical disciplines, but I thoroughly recommend this publication as a tool for assisting all parties working towards the goal of improving medical care.
