This is one of the most comprehensive dictionary series of non-clinical health terms ever produced. Every medical practice, hospital, clinic, university or library must have one! It should be put in the pocket of every physician, nurse, health accountant and executive, insurance agent or consultant, healthcare trustee or board member, every healthcare management graduate student and probably every medical student on the first day of class, or in every corporate business meeting!
