By L. Pryor (Hagerstown, MD USA)
I purchased this for my kindle to make it easy to carry around for my massage training & found I was not able to do a search to get to specific words. The only way I was able to navigate was to page through. Very disappointing & time consuming. I also found words missing that I felt should have been included in a medical dictionary.
By Sydahne Phillip (Douglasville, GA USA)
I love this Medical Dictionary, exactly what I needed for my classes, and I am sure it will be just as useful in my career.
By N. Bovee (ATX)
I got this as a quick reference at the start of my health care related program. I've had to use the internet or other books several times to supplement this book.
I'd research some other desk top/pocket dictionary before getting this one.
By rondie (Wilmington DE)
It is excellent for its size and weight. I couldnn't handle an unabridged medical dictionary.
By Gertrude Hunter (NJ USA)
I needed a medical dictionary for a class I was taking, but it didn't have to be new or all that comprehensive. This one was perfect, it cost me 1 penny! Even with the postage it was much cheaper than I could have bought it new.
