This medical dictionary contains a wealth of information on anatomical and health related articles. In it you can find just about anything you're looking for related to disease, or anatomy, or medical procedures and advances. I recommend it to anyone.

I bought this dictionary as a companion reference for a class I am taking; medical billing and coding certification. I'm only 3 weeks into the 20 week class and so far approximately 40% of the terms I've tried to locate in this dictionary were nowhere to be found. I can't imagine any medical professional would find this a useful tool in practice. If it isn't enough for my needs in the class, then obviously it will be virtually unusable when I am working in a hospital, practice, or corporate medical setting. This is fine for someone who wants to keep this at home as a casual reference, or perhaps is considering pursuing a career in the medical field (just to get a basic idea). But I would never recommend this to any medical professional, especiallly a coder/biller. A comprehensive medical dictionary is CRUCIAL to these positions, and this one isn't up to par.
