This book is a good quick reference for the student of orthodox and complementary medicine but If you’re looking for a complete or fully comprehensive medical dictionary you need a considerably extended version.

Great book

Out of date.
by Nazrul Hossain
This is an excellent textbook for medical and nursing students. The descriptions are very good. There are good diagrams. I think it is written by journalists for general use so has clear and good wording.

I got it for my daughter who is going thru her first year at medical school. The entries are well explained in simple terms even for students who don’t have English as their first language. She is glad to have it.
