This review is from: Instant Home Medical Advisor 2 CD-ROM Set (Jewel Case) (CD-ROM)

Bad,Bad,Bad... doesnt have a very user friendly interface at all, in fact its 2 different programs...one is basically an e-book of merck medical manual, and the other is not to impressive either. I previously owned the "family doctor" where you tell it your symptoms and other things, and it gave possible diagnoses based on questions asked....anyway I thought this was what this was going to be like.....its not. Maybe its just my misunderstanding of the description, or something like that. I give it a 2 thumbs down, unless your premed, then it could be informative.
