Customer Rating: 

I have always wanted a good Medical Dictionary and this is it. It does helps you with the pronunciation of the words. It also explains a lot of breakdowns of the word.

every med student needs a good dictionary and this one fit the bill for me. its too large to take with you. try tabers if you need something portable. this definitely helped me navigate first year, where it seemed like the profs were speaking a different language!

Customer Rating: 

This is a good book. It provides basic information on many topics; however, it is not a worthwhile investment for a medical student. Medical students and doctors are held to a significantly higher standard of knowledge than this book (or really any book of this sort) can offer.

For quick reference you'll do better using UpToDate or any of the numerous electronic references avalable at any good medical school / teaching hospital.

If you are not looking for an MD level of knowledge then this isn't a bad book. Of course you could save your money and get the same thing off the web faster, but that is really personal preference.

Customer Rating: 

This is a lifesaver of an asset for any medical student, human or vet. Highly recommend adding to any college book list!
