Rating: - Medical Language Instant Translator
This is the easiest book I have seen that explains the human anatomy! I highly recommend it.
Rating: - Decent book
What can I say, its a mini version of The Language of Medicine. It has all the terms and test and abbreviations. I have not had a chance to use it yet, but my professor who has been in the field of translation and interpreting for 16 years now, swears by it. Its even a great book to have if you are a native English speaker but cannot understand the medical mumbo-jumbo your doctor is telling you.
Rating:  - Hidden costs
I do love the book and CD itself, the book is very thorough and has alot of excellent illustrations and reviewing material. I do wish the website services were free and was supported by AOL, but otherwise this is a fantastic book and thank you.
Kindest Regards,
