Description
Taber’s Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary: 11th Edition Hardcover
by Clarence Wilbur Taber (Author), Clayton L .Thomas (Editor)
Taber’s has been the number-one choice of nurses and allied health professionals as the definitive source for professional terms and information. Now available in its 12th edition, Taber’s offers substantially more information encompassing all areas of nursing and allied health.
I am taking courses pursuant to joining the Medical Coding profession. Unfortunately, the texts (from Pearson) are woefully inadequate with regard to a glossary and definitions. After using a few of the references available at a local library, I decided to purchase the Taber’s and am very pleased with the thoroughness of the explanations, amount of detail, quality of the illustrations and photographs, and the additional opportunity to use their on-line references.
This book is great for keeping at your desk at home to look up terms, phrases and even procedures. The type is crystal clear and easy to read. It is thumb indexed in 3 letter groupings. The key words are printed in bold san-serif type for easy scanning down the page. Many illustrations are in color and there are color photos as well. There are tables, charts and graphs to help illustrate a definition. Some definitions are multi-page. The definition for diabetes is over 6 pages long and includes types, causes, treatments, prognosis and general patient care.
The appendices are very informative, and I think this is a great dictionary for any family; not just for people in the medical field, or med students.
Book is in good condition. Binding is intact, cover shows some wear. Text along spine has practically worn away. 0-8036-8301-4.
