Amazon reviews of the previous edition:

A ‘must’ for any student nurse. Not just a dictionary but a complete handbook. By far the best purchase I’ve made for my nursing degree!

This little gem is a ‘must-have’ for anyone involved in caring for others. I think it's a tiny price to pay for a whole lot of learnim=ng!

This is the dictionary every nurse and medical administrator needs. It’s very comprehensive and just the right size. Lots of added extras too, like common abbreviations and a few diagrams. Now | know you can look stuff up online, but sometimes it's just quicker to flick through a real book!
