Unhappy with product Do not get me wrong, I enjoy the book. However, you are to get a code with the book to have an account on Dorlands website. Well, the book never had a code. It states on their website the code is on the inside front cover or first page. I didn't get one. I contacted Dorland and never got a response which irritates me all the more. I even sent them a copy of my receipt. Dorland's website said if there is no code then you cannot have access to their website. Also, they stated you have to get the code from the place you purchased the material from. I very much doubt Amazon has the code as I bought this brand new from Amazon. I am discusted with the whole issue. I don't think a buyer should have to go through all the red tape for the code although it would be nice to access Dorland's website. Also the CD-ROM that goes with the book does not work on any type of word program as it states. It is practically worthless. I tried everything I could to get it to work in my Office 97 and earlier years and it won't work. Good Luck! | ||
Pretty nice. I love that it is small enough to carry around with me but it only had half of the words that were needed for my class in med school. | ||
Great Dictionary This soft covered pocket dictionary will be great to take anywhere with me, but still packs an amazing amount of information and extra tidbits. The photos and other references are also extremely handy. So, far I haven't felt the need to pick up another medical dictionary yet. I also appreciated the bonus medical spell checker software for MS Word! | ||
My Little Medical Bible As a Radiologic Technologist student, I purchased this book to use in my clinicals when I need to find a quick medical definition or proper spelling. Its small enough to fit nicely in my backpack without taking up too much space. Even though its called a pocket dictionary it's too big to fit in anyone's pocket (5.5 X 7 and about 1.5 inches thick). Each listing has the proper pronunciation, definition, synonym, abbreviation, and any cross-references. It has more medical terms than any other book I have found in its size. It won't take the place of Mosby's Dictionary, but when I'm away from my home its perfect. In the back of the book are about twenty pages of color pictures of different human anatomy with each part labeled. Also, it comes with a disk that merges all the medical terms into Microsoft Word so that spell checking a paper is quick. I've used it in Office 2000 and Office 2007. | ||
