Download or read book A Pocket Medical Dictionary written by George Milbry Gould and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-10-05 with total page 1002 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Pocket Medical Dictionary: Giving the Pronunciation and Definition of the Principal Words Used in Medicine and the Collateral Sciences The changes in Medical Science, says the Brit ish Medical Journa are so rapid that it is impos sible for the most determined reader of the scien tific pemmican supplied by the journals to keep pace with them. Each step in advance entails a corre sponding enlargement of medical terminology. This necessary evil is aggravated by the new words which many find needful to express their peculiar ideas. From these causes comes the ever-increas ing output of medical dictionaries in recent years. The number of new editions of these that is called for at short intervals shows the keenness of the de mand. That, despite this lively rivalry, over copies of Gould's medical dictionaries have been bought by the profession is a proof that the present edition of The Pocket Pronouncing Medical Dictionary is justified.

Download or read book Dictionary of Medical Derivations written by W.G. Casselman and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 1998-04-15 with total page 436 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dictionary explains the original meanings and correct use of the 500 Greek and Latin words and word parts that make up 98% of all medical terms used today. It stimulates better, quicker comprehension of medical terminology with less grinding memory work and is the ideal way for students to learn how medical words are formed from Latin and Greek roots and how to construct a medical vocabulary for both old and new medical words. It shows how to break long medical words into their simple Greek and Latin roots and helps solve the mystery of medical jargon by supplying a logical system for understanding terminology. Also, it is the first work of its kind to open up access for doctors to understanding the whole of medical terminology, regardless of specialty. And because it is a totally new dictionary readers can be assured of learning true etymologies and accurate meanings instead of the notoriously inaccurate and misleading derivations copied from one so-called standard dictionary to the other over the years. Example: "cholecystectomy": chole = gall + cyst = bladder + ec = out + tomy = cutting; so cholecystectomy is the surgical excision, or cutting out, of the gallbladder!
