This is a great book to use as a quick reference. Even though I'm not in the medical field it has helped me gain understanding of some processes. I'm particularly using it to gain knowledge of medical terms and become a better medical interperter.

a very helpful book that comes in very handy. All of the important things in the main big book are selected and compiled in this small book.

This pocket companion was a very old edition. Didn't realize it was not the most recent edition. Haven't really used it , but no major difference compared to the book. Though, It is in black and white.
