Preface

Welcome to the 11th Edition of the Language of


Medicine

The continuing focus of this new edition is its cutting-edge relevance to


real-life medical practice. Drawing on the newest technology, state-of-
the-art medical procedures, and treatments, The Language of Medicine
brings medical terminology to life. The newly-drawn dynamic images
and up-to-date photography plus compelling patient stories further
illustrate medical terminology in action.
I am honored that this text continues to be the book instructors
return to, year after year, because their students tell them that it works!
As a student, you will find that The Language of Medicine speaks to you
no matter what your background or level of education. It is written in
simple, nontechnical language that creates an exceptionally accessible
pathway to learning. Since it is a workbook-text combination, you
engage and interact on practically every page through writing and
reviewing terms, labeling diagrams, and answering questions.
Terminology is explained so that you understand medical terms in
their proper context, which is the structure and function of the human
body in health and disease.
Throughout the process of writing this text over its 11 editions, I
have listened to hundreds of students and instructors and incorporated
their insightful suggestions. Expert medical reviewers have once again
helped me to ensure that the terminology included reflects cutting edge
clinical practice. New information and illustrations throughout are the
result of recommendations from all those who have so generously
provided feedback. My continuing goal in writing The Language of
Medicine is to help you not only learn medical terminology but also to
enjoy learning! You will find that medical terminology comes alive and
stays with you when you use my interactive, logical, and easy-to-
follow method. Undeniably, the study of this language requires
commitment and hard work, but the benefits are great. Knowledge of
medical terminology will give you a strong start in your career.

New to the 11th Edition
While the essential elements of The Language of Medicine remain in
place, the new 11th edition is even more relevant to real-life medical
situations.
The 11th edition includes helpful hints to point out important facts
and make things clear. There are also new, first-hand stories of medical
conditions and procedures. These personal accounts make medical
terminology more understandable.

How to use the Book
The Language of Medicine makes learning easy. The book guides and
coaches you step by step through the learning experience. Don't get
overwhelmed! Approach learning systematically, step by step. I've
helped you study each chapter by organizing the information in small
pieces. Icons are provided to help you navigate the sections of the text.
