"I found this course of great benefit as a person with no connection with the medical world other that that of being a patient, in that I gained an awareness and knowledge of the language of medicine, and terminology used by the medical profession. This serves to benefit me now, and will do in the future, should I ever be in an environment where the language of medicine is employed."
