My review is not based on a comparison of other medical dictionaries. With that in mind, this particular dictionary (book) is easy to read, has good illustrations, and about 30 pages of excellent human anatomy diagrams in the middle of the book. The CD is, as stated, a bonus; have not found a need to use it, but good to have. What I do not like about this "book," is that it was printed as a short, thick book. It would have been better to have a wider/thinner book, rather than a short/thick book; the illustrations wouldn't be so small otherwise. Finally, I like that the dictionary has ABC tabs to make finding a word quick and easy.

Stedman's Medical Dictionary is filled with 1696 pages of concise definitions and wonderful color pictures and graphs. It also contains an extra 589 pages of Appendices: Units of Measure, Affixes, Abbreviations, and Symbols; Physical Terminology; Infection Control; Reference Values; Body Mass and Surface Calculations; Assessment and Care; Drug Information; Diet and Nutrition; Professional Information. It also contains a CD-ROM with Audio Pronunciations for more than 48,000 terms; Anatomical animations; and a Medical/Pharmaceutical Spellchecker. Any person in the medical field would be well armed with this excellent, informative book. The price is very low for the amount of information contained.
