Really useful

Very inexpensive and worth it!

My favorite!

I am a person studying for nursing license exam, and I have been using this since when I took anatomy/physiology. The definitions in the dictionary are not enough to provide comphrehensive understanding, but they are good enough to refresh my memory. If you need a descent medical dictionary to use as comphrehensive reference, invest more money and get Taber or something else. As a newly graduated nursing student, I am still carrying this im my bag whenever I go to library to study NCLEX. My seven bucks to buy this one was well spent.

good reference book

this dictionary has helped alot in my studies of the medical field. would recommend to someone who is studying to work in the medical field
