Concise Dictionary Of Medical Terms

The idea for this dictionary on medical terms originated as an extension to the reference books that V&S Publishers has brought out on physics, chemistry, biology, mathematics, general science, economics, and commerce. These dictionaries will serve as a side-table reference tool for medical students, healthcare workers, paramedics and professionals, and as a first-hand home medical guide for anyone seeking to understand the meaning of terms used in medical science.
