This review is from: Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary (INDEXED) & Taber's Electronic Medical Dictionary CD-ROM V 3.0 (Hardcover)

I work in law not medicine. I bought Taber's because of the many personal injury cases with which I was involved. People talk about legal language - nothing compares to medical terminology.

I have found Taber's to be extremely helpful in translating the medical reports that pass across my desk. It is comprehensive and yet breaks down the terms, diseases and injuries into language that a non-medically trained mind (mine people!) can understand and explain so that a judge can understand.

And because life can never be too good, it is very easy to use. The diagrams and photos are excellent - at least to my non-medically trained mind. The indexing is top-notch.

I also gifted it to another legally trained friend of mine with the same glowing reviews. I fully recommend this title.

I ordered and paid for this product, $56.79. Taber's Cyclopedia Medical Dictionary & Taber's Electronic Medical Dictionary CD-ROM V 3.0.
The "&Taber's Electronic Medical Dictionary CD-ROM V 3.0" is an "online" version only for the extra $25.00, I can access this feature for only the next 12 months.
Product pictured shows an "actual" CD-ROM.
This is misleading advertising.
Now I discover there is nothing else I can do except send it back, and I needed it 2 days ago for my daughters class. There is no place that I can find at Amazon to complain about this and perhaps obtain the "so called" CD-ROM.
Hey, if I'm wrong I'll apologize, but, what would anyone think?

I ordered this not realizing that I would need internet access to use the CD. While out in the field, I don't have an internet connection available (wireless either). Not being able to use this offline defeated the purpose of purchasing it with the CD.
