About the Book

There are few areas of human endeavor in which precise communication is more important or in which its lack can have more devastating consequences than medicine. Edith Schwager, renowned medical editor, writer, and columnist, has created an insightful guide to improving clarity and accuracy in the writing and editing of medical works.

Highly instructive and equally enjoyable, the text covers common errors in grammar and usage as well as the special problems of medical writing--all in a clear and instantly intelligible style. Medical English Usage and Abusage is a must read for medical writers and editors, physicians, nurses, health care professionals, journalists, copywriters, and students.
