Medical Terminology Demystified covers all the basic terms of disease and injury, abnormal anatomy and physiology, surgical techniques, drugs, and other therapies--in the context of real, practical health issues. This self-teaching guide comes complete with key points, background information, quizzes at the end of each chapter, and even a final exam.

Dale Layman, Ph.D., Grand Ph.D. in Medicine, is Professor of Biology and Human Anatomy and Physiology at Joliet Junior College. He is the author of McGraw-Hill's Biology Demystified, Anatomy Demystified, and Physiology Demystified. He is the first Grand Doctor of Philosophy in Medicine in the United States and has received numerous other international honors and awards for his writing and creative thinking.

This book is for people who want to get acquainted with the basic concepts of
medical terminology without having to take a formal course. It can also serve as
a supplemental text in a classroom, tutored, or home-schooling environment. It
should also be useful for career changers who need to refresh their knowledge
of the subject. I recommend that you start at the beginning of this book and go
straight through.
There are 5 icons (cartoon pictures) that repeatedly appear in the page margins
of every chapter. Each icon takes the form of a “Memory Pill”—a key fact for
you to write down and remember in a “Memory Pillbox” (handy numbered
grid) at chapter end. An Anatomy icon indicates a key fact about normal body
structure. Conversely, a Physiology icon labels an important fact about normal
body function. Knowing some of these key structure-function facts in the normal
body helps you to understand their associated disease and disorders within the
abnormal body.
The medical terminology of the book provides key facts tagged as Disease
icons and other facts as Treatment/Therapy icons. Finally, there are numerous
Background and History icons that identify critical people and historical
events behind the development of medical terminology. A special icon is that of
Hippocrates (pronounced as hih-PAHK-rah-tees). Hippocrates was an ancient
Greek physician who is considered the Father of Modern Medicine. For this reason,
MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY DEMYSTIFIED is subtitled as “A Visit with
Hippocrates.” The Ghost of Hippocrates is our narrator, who guides us along
throughout the book. He is occasionally assisted by both Professor Joe, the Talking
Skeleton (from ANATOMY DEMYSTIFIED and PHYSIOLOGY DEMYSTIFIED),
and by Baby Heinie (his mischievous little sidekick). The goal is to provide
some meaningful “edu-tainment”—“education” plus “entertainment”—for
the reader.
