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.

Dorland's Pocket Dictionary

I have the Illustrated and the Pocket one. They both are excellent dictionaries. I would recommend them to anyone involved in healthcare services. I work in a hospital, and the pocket edition has been very useful to us all there. I keep the other one at home, since it is so big and heavy, it is also a good reference when I'm working at home.

Dorland's Pocket Medical Dictionary

I am a professional medical provider (physical therapist) and am currently taking courses in medical coding. This dictionary has been invaluable for quick reference. So far, I've found very little that is not in the pocket version. I also have the unabridged version but find it too clumsy to carry around. This dictionary is my favorite reference, usually a "go to first" and very reasonably priced.
