{"product_id":"blacks-medical-dictionary-9780810857131","title":"Black's Medical Dictionary","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlacks Medical Dictionary first appeared in 1906. That new century was to see health care in the United Kingdom evolve from a largely personal  paternalistic consultation between doctor and patient  based more on medical tradition than medical science  to a complex  science-based  team-oriented and managed service. The emergence of the informed patient was largely responsible for this change  and publications like this dictionary  the contents of which have during its forty-one editions reflected these changes in medicine  have served as a catalyst.  The forty-first edition of Blacks Medical Dictionary provides over 5 000 definitions and descriptions of medical terms and concepts  along with over 100 diagrams and drawings including several pages of color illustrations  and is accompanied by appendixes on important subjects such as the National Health Service (including selected statistics)  Health Economics  Complementary and Alternative Medicine  Common Medical Tests  and an address list of support and professional organizations. Where relevant  entries contain appropriate cross-references to further information. All material has been checked and updated with new or substantially revised entries. This home compendium is invaluable for all who need an authoritative one-volume medical reference book.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67957888712757,"sku":"ByrdShop_0810857138","price":100.57,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780810857131.jpg?v=1794472726","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/blacks-medical-dictionary-9780810857131","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
