I had a very good high school biology teacher who gave us quizzes on the Greek and Latin prefixes used in Medical Terminology. Then in college I had a Bio 101 and an Anatomy & physiology class

I worked in medical insurance for nearly 40 years and all of that was very helpful. ( I also loved it! )

I found I have a great love of biology, especially anatomy and pHysiology.
