Pocket Book of Medical Terminology

This will be like a dictionary but with medical terms arranged according to body systems and medical topics. These could be arranged around the chapters of the main text of Hutton, but with more entries. Each section will have quick reference boxes so it will be possible to look up a medical term from its common name and vice versa. The sections should be coded with the page number at the side for speed of location.
