Medical Language for Modern Health Care — Rachel C. Basco et al. (2023)

Book Description

“Medical terminology is not just another subject for which you memorize the facts and then forget them when you move on to your next course. Medical language will be used throughout your studies, as well as every day on your job. Health care professionals use specific terms to describe and talk about objects and situations they encounter each day. Like every language, medical terminology changes constantly as new knowledge is discovered. Modern medical terminology is a language constructed over centuries, using words and elements from Greek and Latin origins as its building blocks. Some 15,000 or more words are formed from 1,200 Greek and Latin roots. It serves as an international language, enabling medical scientists from different countries and in different medical fields to communicate with a common understanding”–
