Summary: Mosby's Dictionary
Review: A very handy reference book for anyone in the medical profession. It allows you to find information quickly and answers basic questions about diagnoses, signs and symptoms and medical terms. It is written in clear and concise language. It has colorful and descriptive pictures. I wish I had this in nursing school years ago!! Recently, I've used it as an RN in Home Healthcare practice and as a coding/compliance auditor when reviewing documentation. Overall, it has saved me a lot of time and allowed me to look up details that I didn't know easily. I keep it with me as part of my essential books.

Review: I couldn't tell you how many times I have had to look up a term I didn't know and it wasn't in Webster's dictionary. Anyone in the mediacl field-Respiratory therapists, Physical Therapists, occupational therapists, nurses, Radiology technicians will find this book to be very valuable. It is written as clearly and simply as possible. Of course, everyone's favorite part is all the color photos and diagrams. It was worth every penny.

Summary: Excellent Starting Place for Medical Concerns
Review: I own a few other medical dictonaries but this is by far my favorite. I love the use of pictures of the diseases discussed. It allows me to get a much better idea of what it looks like and therefore makes it easier to remember. It goes into just enough detail to understand the medical concepts presented. There is almost never a medical term that I can not find in this book. If I can't find it in this book I have a hard time finding it anywhere else. This book would be an excellent place to begin research or to staisfy a general understanding. This book would be an excellent addition to any library of a layman, doctor, or nurse. The only "problem" with the book is that when you look up something you end up wanting to read about all kinds of other interesting diseases and information.

Summary: Best Medical Dictionary
Review: I used this dictionary while in LPN school and now I'm using it while working my way from LPN to ADN. In my experience, it's an excellent reference book for those in the medical fields or studying to work in the medical field. I do wish it came with a CD for the computer. But, I would rate this medical dictionary higher than a Tabers. It's been the best I've used so far.

Summary: Must have for any medical student.
Review: I'm a nursing student, and I use this book all of the time. Keep it next to you when you study, there are going to be tons of words that you don't know in your studies. Don't be the student that knows the answer but doesn't know what it means.
