Horrible Product !,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dorland's Electronic Medical Dictionary (CD-ROM for Windows & Macintosh, Individual Version) (Hardcover)
I bought this Cd hoping to have a quick way to reference medical terms. WHat a joke, when you search for a word, it gives you EVERY OCCURENCE of the word in the entire book. If you search for DOPAMINE, it does not take you to the MAJOR topic "DOPAMINE" under D as a regular dictionary would, it starts at "A" and finds the word dopamine in every description from A-Z. Their interface is a generic DataBase interface called DynaText reader, they were too lazy to write their own interface. Ugly, clumsy to use. They say there are graphics--another bull story Total piece of junk -- don't waste your money, the best dictionary was MOSBY's but unfortunately, they stopped upgrading it. This product is not what you are looking for if you are looking for a traditional medical encyclopedia on CD rom.

Most extensive technical medical reference dictionary,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dorland's Electronic Medical Dictionary (CD-ROM for Windows & Macintosh, Individual Version) (Hardcover)
Working as a radiology transcriptionist, I find this dictionary absolutely invaluable as a tool for finding some of the most obscure references to syndromes, diseases, disorders and every imaginable part of the human anatomy, from bones, organs, muscles, veins and arteries right down to drug names (generic and trade), the names of bacteria and technical terms like Houndsfield units. I also work part time at home, and I hope soon to load the CD-ROM version of this dictionary on my PC. You never know when you're going to have to look up something like Takayasu's arteritis, moya-moya syndrome or the foramen of Bochdalek!

Excellent tool for anyone in healthcare!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dorland's Electronic Medical Dictionary (CD-ROM for Windows & Macintosh, Individual Version) (Hardcover)
Fast and easy to use if you are not sure how to spell a complex term. Pictures are there to access if you need them. The ability to hear the proper way to pronounce the tongue-twisting medical terms is great.
