Medical meanings

Description:

This second edition of Medical Meanings is fully updated and revised to include over thirty percent more of the definitions, histories, and amusing. More than a dictionary, it explores the history of medical terms, tracing some back to classical roots and describing the recent coinage of others. All previous 3000 entries have been considered afresh, and many have been revised or sharpened, and nearly 300 new words and phrases have been added.
