This review is from: Stedman's Electronic Medical Dictionary: Version 7.0 for Windows (CD-ROM)

I was a bit disappointed in some of the limitations of this version of Stedman's. I'm a medical transcriptionist, and I often find that all of the items I'm looking up in Stedman's aren't there...and I have to resort to a simple "look up" through Word, and then a "Bing" search. It is invaluable, however, for the video capability it has if one needs that, and will give a professional and extended explanation of difficult terms most of the time.

This is an excellent product that I use daily in my work. My purchase was received in a timely manner and was in excellent condition. I was very pleased. Amazon does well to make sure the products they sell are of high quality. I couldn't be happier.

Stedman's is the leader in this industry of medical terminology. I own at least 12 of their Word books. Now with this CD-Rom, I can search anything medical and get instant answers. There are even pictures for many of the important terms. I love this product.
