Additional Webster's New World Medical Dictionary Information

More Americans every day are focused on issues of health and well-being. While 10 years ago, most consumers accepted their doctor's advice blindly, today many question their doctors carefully about procedures, drug therapy, diseases, and other medical concerns. As the country continues to move toward service provided by large health care organizations, more consumers will take responsibility for understanding their medical needs.

This dictionary represents the most up-to-date medical reference on the market today. More than 7,500 medical terms, treatments, and medicines. The book also features a CD-ROM for instant access to the dictionary and directly to the MedicineNet.com web site.

What Customers Say About Webster's New World Medical Dictionary:

However, If you find what you need in it, the definitions are excellent. I did not find many words there and I had to buy another one. (A general worker in Health care might find it useful, but professionals or students will need another one). I read the reviews saying not all the important words were there but somehow I wanted to try myself. Unfortunatly that was true.

I would not recommend If you are looking for a good technical resource than this is not your book. Much of what I needed was not in the book and there are no pronunciations for the terms.

Very explanatory, and simple to navigate.Makes studying a lot easier and faster. MEPC: Optometry: Examination Review Awesome for preparing for professional exams.

However I found it odd that there is no pronunciation guide for any of the terms listed. Overall, not much you can really review on something like this.

Also ordering from Amazon, it cheaper and quick delivery to my door step. It's paperback and it's not too big so I can jsut it in my bag. Great job Amazon. I have to say this is my first medical dictornary I have bought. I work in preauthorization in a medical facility and it comes in very handy.
