Rating:  - great dictionary/HORRIBLE web site
great dictionary. web site basically does not work - unless you want to stay up and wait - sometimes literally for 2-3 minutes for each page to download. (i have university/hospital network).
Rating: - dictionary fine, website and cd not
I'm pleased with the dictionary, but I can use the dictionary in the library where I study. I purchased the dictionary so I could reference it while at home, etc. But I was motivated to buy it based on the included CD and the internet access. Both very disappointing. As a student I cannot carry the dictionary with me wherever I go, even if I would like to do so. The online access is dreadfully slow. When you type in a word (most of the time the website won't load within 60seconds and I give up) even ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent Medical Reference
My wife and I purchased this book as a graduation present for our daughter who recently graduated from the University of Hawaii School of Medicine, Masters in Speech Pathology program. She loved the book and keeps it in her office for quick reference. She found it immensely helpful and easier to access than the internet. lol
Rating: - Dorlands Illustrated Medical Dictionary 31st ed.
From the standpoint of a pre med student, this is a fantastic medical resource! I have really appreciated having it- I can very quickly and easily look up any terms, conditions, etc., of which I am unaware and feel I need to know. Beautiful illustrations, easy to assimilate, and, so far, it's had a definition for everything I've queried.

Great dictionary! The pictures are clear and detailed. It came with a CD that was broken so I called the 800 number listed in the book...they were very nice and mailed a new one to me asap (at no cost to me). The book is very large and heavy so you need to be at a desk or table when using it. I am very satisfied.
