4.0 out of 5 stars Very handy!
I ordered this book for my medical billing practice because I needed a smaller paperback book for quick reference. Every definition that I have needed to look up has been in this book. It is very simple to follow and is easy to use. I would recommend this book to any who will look up words on a daily basis and does not want to have to lug out a 20 pound hardback...

1.0 out of 5 stars NOT recommended
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good, inexpensive general medical reference, September 24, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: The Bantam Medical Dictionary (Paperback)
This is a great medical dictionary for those who want a comprehensive reference and not spend too much money. We recommend this book for students in our medical vocational classes.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good buy!, January 23, 2007
This review is from: The Bantam Medical Dictionary (Paperback)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't bother!!, January 10, 2012
It's not indexed, therefore you can't search for words. Completely useless as an E-book dictionary. Not even worth the $7 price tag.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not very thorough., January 21, 2008
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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.

1.0 out of 5 stars Question: Any pronunciation guide for the entries?, December 30, 2000
By 
"shimoto" (New York, New York) - See all my reviews
How come no one in the reviews ever giving any info about the pronunciation guide used in the Dictionary? Can someone tell us if the IPA (International Phonectic Aiphabet)or KK phonetic symbols are used in this dictionary to help reader to know the pronunciation of each symbols? I may give it a higher rating when I get some answers.
