Summary: Dorland's - Keystone for transcription!
Review: If you are a medical transcriptionist or just a family looking for ONE good medical journal to keep in your house (that is IF you have at least a nursing or transcription background) the Dorland's is your book! While all the other books go out of date every year to year and a half, the Dorland's is the Standard that DOESN'T! Buy it and see why even though they update the Dorland's every few years, even doctors keep their old Dorland's from medical school for years and years without updating! It's the best around! I'm a nurse and transcriptionist and I should know!!!!

Summary: Must Have Reference
Review: This dictionary is a must have reference for anybody working in a health profession or related field. I've been using it since I began medical school, and there have been extremely few occasions when a word that I don't know or need to spell has not been listed. It's thorough, concise, and easy to use. Highly reccomended for beginners and experts alike.

Summary: concise and all inclusive dictionary of medical information
Review: This is a dictionary. How exciting or interesting can a dictionary be? At best it can be thrown at your doctor for charging how much for that aspirin in the hospital? But then exciting or interesting is not what one buys a dictionary for. I was first introduced to Dorland's my first term in Chiropractic College in 1972. It has been my source for defining terms and cross-referencing terms ever since. This is my fifth or sixth text. If it's in the medical jargon it's in Dorland's. And throw something lighter at your doctor.
