Medical Terminology

As we have to know about the medicaments we sell, we also mustn’t forget about the doctors, especially those who are handing out the receipts a PTA or a pharmacist has to work with. That’s why in English our teacher gave us a copy with *counting* 35 doctors an their sciences. This will be the content of the test tomorrow.
