PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION
The need for a thorough understanding of medical terminology has
not diminished in the least for pharmacists and other health care
practitioners in the five years between the publication of the
first edition of this book and this second edition. If anything, it
has become greater. The pharmacy profession has further solidified
its clinical role in patient care, and pharmacists are more
entrenched than ever before in the role of counselor and advisor to
both patients and practitioners alike. For more than a few
pharmacists, what not long ago was an occasional question from a
physician about appropriate drug therapy has become regular
consultation concerning the interaction of drugs with the patient,
his life, and the many other therapies he may be facing. Pharmacy
chains, which not long ago installed glass walls to separate the
pharmacist from customers, have asked technicians to count pills
while pharmacists are in continuous contact with the patient.
Such practice changes have increased the demand for clinical
knowledge among pharmacists, including a knowledge of medical
terminology, and those demands have been passed on to the authors
in preparation of the second edition of this book. While the role
of the text is still to help pharmacists be more effective
interpreters and counselors, some changes have been made in
response to reader requests.
